The final hours in the life of Jesus Christ leading up to his crucifixion, starting from his prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane and his betrayal at the hands of Judas Iscariot. Jesus is arrested and taken to Jerusalem
where leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of
blasphemy, where his trial results in a condemnation to death. He is
crucified, dies, and is buried, but resurrects from the dead on the
third day. Throughout this time, we are shown memories from his past
with his mother and Disciples, where he gives his teachings.
