The document recounts key events from Jesus's trial and crucifixion according to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. It describes how Pilate found Jesus innocent but handed him over to be flogged and crucified due to demands from the crowd. Jesus was crucified between two criminals, with Simon forced to carry his cross. He uttered his final words before dying and a Roman officer declared him the Son of God. Joseph of Arimathea buried Jesus's body in his own tomb.

3. Holy Friday

4. Don’t you hear all these charges they are bringing against you? Pilate
demanded. But Jesus made no response to any of the charges, much to
the governor’s surprise. Matthew 27:13-14

5. Pilate announced his verdict: You brought this man to me, accusing
him of leading a revolt. I have examined him thoroughly on this point
in your presence and find him innocent. So I will have him flogged,
and then I will release him. Luke 23:13-16

6. Then a mighty roar rose from the crowd, and with one voice they
shouted: Kill him, and release Barabbas to us! Luke 23:18

7. Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus
who is called the Messiah? Matthew 27:17

8. The crowd shouted back: Barabbas! Pilate responded: Then
what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah? They
shouted back: Crucify him! Matthew 27:21-22

9. Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So
he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying: I
am innocent of this man’s blood. The responsibility is yours! Matthew 27:24

10. So Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged
with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman
soldiers to be crucified. Matthew 27:26

11. Along the way, they came across a man named Simon, who was from
Cyrene, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus’ cross.
Matthew 27:32

12. When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the
criminals were also crucified, one on his right and one on his left. Jesus said: Father,
forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing. And the soldiers gambled for
his clothes by throwing dice. Luke 23:33-34

13. At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. At
about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice: “Eli, Eli, lema
sabachthani? which means: My God, my God, why have you
abandoned me? Matthew 27:45-46

14. Then Jesus shouted: Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!
And with those words he breathed his last. Luke 23:46

15. The Roman officer and the other soldiers at the crucifixion were
terrified by the earthquake and all that had happened. They
said: This man truly was the Son of God! Matthew 27:54

16. As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who had become
a follower of Jesus, went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Joseph took the
body and wrapped it in a long sheet of clean linen cloth. Matthew 27:57-59

17. Joseph from Arimathea placed it in his own new tomb, which had been
carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and
left. Matthew 27:60
