That man is dying in my place.

Why should he do that?

I never did anything for him.

Forgive them, Father,

for they know not what they do.

If you are the Messiah...

then save yourself and us.

Have you no fear of God?

We are guilty!

But this man has done no wrong.

Remember me, when we have come

into the glory of your kingdom.

I promise...

you will be with me...

this day, in paradise.

Woman...

behold your son.

My God.

My God, why have you forsaken me?

It is finished.

Father...

into Your hands I commend my soul.

He is truly the Christ.

And the body of Jesus

was begged from Pilate, and given over.

And in the place where he was crucified,

there was a garden.

And in the garden a new sepulcher,

hewn from stone.

And Jesus was placed there.

Sir!

Sir, have you hidden him?

Tell me where, and I will take him away.

Woman, why do you weep?

Because you have taken away my Lord.

I know not where.

- Magdalene.

- Master!

Touch me not,

for I am not yet ascended to my Father.

But go to my disciples.

Tell them I ascend to my Father

and your Father.

To my God and your God.

But first, I go before them into Galilee.

There shall they see me.

He is arisen.

And when the tomb was found empty,

some days passed...

and Christ was seen at Emmaus

and in Jerusalem.

And those who saw him

knew he was the Lord God.

And then a final time he came

among his disciples...

by the shore of Galilee.

Do you know and love me?

Feed my sheep,

for my sheep are in all the nations.

Go you into all the world

and preach the Gospel...

to every creature who hungers.

I am with you always.

Even until the end of the world.
