Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs who had come from the chief priests and scribes, and the elders. His betrayer had arranged a signal with them saying, The man I shall kiss is th one; arrest him and lead him away securely. He came and immediately went over to him and said, Rabbi. And he kissed him. At this, thy laid hands on him and arrested him. Mark 14:43-46

The high priest said to him, I order you to tell us under oath before the living God whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God. Jesus said to him in reply: You have said so, but I tell you: From now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest said, He has blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? You have now heard the blasphemy; what is your opinion? They said in reply, He deserves to die.

Matthew 26: 63-66

Peter was following at a distance. They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter sat down with them. When a maid saw him seated in the light, she looked intently at him and said, This man too was with him. But he denied it saying, Woman, I do not know him. A short while later, someone else saw him and said, You too are one of them, but Peter answered, My friend, I am not. About an hour later, still another insisted, Assuredly this man too is with him for he is also a Galilean. But Peter said, My friend, I do not know what you are talking about. Just as he was saying this, the cock crowed, and the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Luke 22: 54-61

The whole assembly of them arose and brought him before Pilate. They brought charges against him, saying, We have found this man misleading our people; he opposes the payment of Taxes to Caesar and maintains that he is the Messiah, a king. Pilate asked him, Are you the king of the Jews? He said to him in reply, You said so. Pilate then addressed the crowds, I find this man not guilty. But they were adaman and said, He is inciting the people with his teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to here. Luke 23 1-5

Upon learning that he was a Galilean under Herods jurisdiction, Pilate sent him to herod who was in Jerusalem at that time. Herod was very glad to see Jesus. He had been wanting to see him for a long time, for he had heard about him and had been hoping to see him perform some sign. He questioned him at length, but he gave him no answer. The chief priests and scribes , meanwhile, stood by accusing him harshly. Even Herod and his soldiers mocked him, and after clothing him in resplendent garb, he sent him back to Pilate. Luke 23: 8-11

Pilate said to them, So no capital crime has been commintted by him. Therefore I shall have him flogged and release him. Luke 23:15-16 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said, Hail, King of the Jews, and they stuck him repeatedly. John 19: 1-3

And Pilate said to them, Behold the man. When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out, Crucify him, crucify him! John 19:5-6 When Pilate saw that eh was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead, he took water and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd saying, I am innocent of this mans blood. Look it to yourselves. And the whole people said in reply, His blood be upon us and our children. Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified.

Matther 27: 24-26

They stripped him of the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him. They pressed into service a passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, the Father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. They brought him to a place of Golgotha. Mark 15: 20-22

And when they came to the placee called Golgotha, they give Jesus wine to drink mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink. ..They divided his garments by casting lots. Matthew 27: 33-35

There, they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. Pilate also had an inscription written and put in on the cross. It read: Jesus, the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.

John 19: 18-19

One of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus saying, Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us. The other, however, rbuking him, said in reply, Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? And instead we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received correponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal. Then he said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. He replied to him, Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise. Luke 23: 39-43

When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son. Then he said to the disciple, Behold, your mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her into his home. John 19: 26-27

It was now about noon and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon because of an eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the temple was torn down in the middle. Jesus cried out in a lod voice, Father, inot your hands, I commend my Spirit. And when he had said this, he breathed his last.
Luke 23:44-46

Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body. Nicodemus also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices according to the Jewish burial custom. Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden , and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been buried. So they laid Jesus there. John 19: 38-42

By the expression, He descended to the dead, the Apostles Creed confesses that Jesus did really die and through his death for us conquered death and evil who has the power of death (Hebrews 2:14) Catechism of the Catholic Church No. 636

THE SUFFERING SERVANT He was spurned and avoided by men, A man of suffering accustomed to infirmity. One of those from whom men hide their faces Spurned, we held him in no esteem. Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, Our sufferings that he endured. While we thought of him as stricken, As one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our offenses, Crushed for our sins, Upon him was the chastizement that makes us whole, By his stripes, we were healed. Isaiah 53: 3-5
