Soldiers were mean to Jesus. They put a crown of thorns on His head. Pilate knew Jesus did nothing wrong. But he let them take Jesus.

Jesus carried His cross. They put Him on the cross. A sign said He was the King. Jesus asked the disciple He loved to take care of His mother.

Jesus said, It is finished. Then He died. He took the punishment for our sins. His friends put His body in a new tomb in a garden. But that was not the end!
