What happensPermalink
The Sanhedrin council turns Jesus over to Pilate, who finds Him innocent but has Him flogged, mocked with the crown of thorns, and eventually crucified anyway.
Why it mattersPermalink
The Passion begins with the illegitimate trial, where Jesus finally admits He is the Christ. At last, He is first. On the cross, He trusts and endures to the end.
Key versePermalink
“Truly this man was the Son of God!”
