Jesus is nailed to a cross between two criminals, and darkness covers the land as the Son of God dies.
After being flogged and mocked, Jesus carries his cross to Golgotha. Roman soldiers nail him to it and divide his clothing by casting lots. For six hours he hangs there, forgiving his executioners, promising paradise to a repentant thief, and crying out to his Father. When he breathes his last, the temple curtain tears in two from top to bottom, and the earth shakes.
Matthew
The Day Everything Went Dark
Jesus is handed over to Pilate, condemned by a crowd, mocked by soldiers, and crucified between two criminals. The sky goes dark, the earth shakes, and even a Roman centurion can't deny what just happened. This is the chapter where everything breaks — and everything begins.
Mark
The Day Everything Went Dark
Jesus stands trial before Pilate, is handed over to a mob that chose a murderer instead, and is crucified between two criminals. The sky goes dark, the temple curtain tears in two, and a Roman soldier says what no one else would.
Luke
The Day Everything Went Dark
Jesus stands trial before Pilate and Herod, is sentenced to die despite being declared innocent three times, and is crucified between two criminals. In his final hours, he forgives, he promises paradise, and he breathes his last — and the world goes dark.
John
The Day Everything Changed
Pilate tries to release Jesus but folds under political pressure. Jesus is crucified between two others, speaks his final words from the cross, and is buried in a borrowed tomb by two men who had been hiding their faith.
