Jesus is Condemned to Die

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You

because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

 

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth;  he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 
Isaiah 53:7

No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
John 15:13
