Apostles' Creed Part 4 - He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.

  The passion of Christ begun in the Garden of Gethsemane, after the Last Supper. As Jesus was praying with his apostles, Judas appeared with many soldiers, and betrayed him with a kiss. Jesus was brought to Pontius Pilate to have him condemned to death.

Pilate realized that Jesus did nothing wrong, but he was afraid of the people; so he ordered Jesus first to be scourged and crucified.

Upon reaching the Golgotha, the soldiers crucified Jesus together with two robbers. At three in the afternoon, Jesus cries out: "My God, my god, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46). Then he yielded up his spirit.

When evening came, Joseph of Arimathea, the Virgin Mary and other pious women, took the body of Jesus, wrapped it in a clean shroud, and put it in the tomb. They rolled a large stone across the entrance of the womb and went away.
