At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father.

There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd-assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. The crowd chooses to have Barrabas set free. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free-Jesus, or Barrabas. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees.

Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus-who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God'-is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem.
