Friday in Jerusalem

Luke 22:66 to 23:25: Jesus before the chief priests and scribes at the Court of Caiaphas; then taken before Pilot (possibly at or near the Antonia Fortress on the north side of the Temple Mount);
The Antonia Fortress is in the middle of the photo, on the north side of the Temple
 then taken before Herod (possibly at Herod's Palace, south of the Jaffa Gate);
The Jaffa Gate today, the main entrance to the Old City
 then sent back to Pilot where He is finally condemned to death and beaten by the Roman guards.


There is no sin that is not covered by the blood of Him Who died for me.

a room at the historical site of the Antonia Fortress, which today is about 20 feet underground; possible location where Jesus was beaten by the Roman soldiers

Luke 23:26-49: Jesus carries the cross to Golgotha and is crucified and dies, taking on the full wrath of God in our stead

Look for the eyes of the skull just to the right of the middle of the photo

Luke 23:50-56: Jesus' body is taken down from the cross, wrapped in a linen shroud, and laid in a stone tomb

the entrance to the tomb is in the top right of the photo
