Day 6: Good Friday's Trial,
Crucifixion,
Death,
Burial
Good Friday is the most difficult day of Holy Week. Jesus’ journey turned treacherous and acutely painful in these final hours leading to His death.
According to Scripture, Judas Iscariot, the disciple who had betrayed Jesus, was overcome with remorse and hanged himself early on Friday morning.
Meanwhile, before the third hour (9 a.m.), Jesus endured the shame of false accusations, condemnation, mockery, beatings, and abandonment.
After multiple unlawful trials, He was sentenced to death by crucifixion, one of the most horrible and disgraceful methods of capital punishment.
By 6 p.m. Friday evening, Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, took Jesus’ body down from the cross and laid it in a tomb.
