When Pilate released Jesus to the people. He was led away to be killed on the cross. They ceased a man called Simon, a native of Cyrene and made him carry the cross behind Jesus. Jesus told the women crying for him not to weep. Jesus was crucified with two criminals at the place called skull. There Jesus ask God to forgive the people “father forgive them, for they know not what they do,” the ruler and the soldiers mocked and was given vinegar to drink. One of the thief was also mocking Jesus saying he could not save himself while the other thief shun the other one and said Jesus was innocent. And he told Jesus to remember him ibn his kingdom. Jesus replied and said to him “truly, I say to you today, you will be with me in paradise.”

There was darkness over the whole land for three hour. The curtain of the temple was also torn into two. Then Jesus cried with a loud voice saying “father, into thy hands I commit my spirit” then he died.
