The Lost Books of the Bible, Part 6, Chapter VII summary

Part 6, Chapter VII of 170 · 2 min to read the chapter

In Chapter VII, Jesus is taken to Golgotha and crucified between Dimas and Gestas, while religious leaders and soldiers mock him and Longinus pierces his side. Gestas challenges him to save them, but Dimas defends his innocence and asks to be remembered, receiving a promise of Paradise that very day.

What happens

  1. Jesus and two thieves reach Golgotha, where Jesus is stripped, wrapped in linen, crowned with thorns, and given a reed.
  2. Jesus asks his Father to forgive his persecutors, while they divide his clothes and cast lots for his robe.
  3. Religious leaders and soldiers mock Jesus, and the soldiers offer him vinegar mixed with gall.
  4. Longinus pierces Jesus’ side, releasing blood and water; Pilate provides a cross inscription naming Jesus as the Jews’ king.
  5. Gestas demands rescue, but Dimas rebukes him, accepts their punishment as deserved, and declares Jesus innocent.
  6. Dimas asks Jesus to remember him in his kingdom, and Jesus promises him Paradise that day.
