This document summarizes key events from the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as described in the Gospel of Mark. It describes how Jesus was mocked, crucified at Golgotha between two thieves, and how the inscription above read "THE KING OF THE JEWS". It discussed how those passing by hurled insults at Jesus and how he died with a loud cry. The centurion then declared that Jesus was the Son of God. The document focuses on how through Jesus' crucifixion and death, no one is invisible to God, no one is unmoved by Jesus, no one is without hope, and why faith matters because Golgotha is unavoidable but not the end.

4. And when they had mocked
him, they took off the purple
robe and put his own clothes
on him. Then they led him
out to crucify him. A certain
man from Cyrene, Simon, the
father of Alexander and
Rufus, was passing by on his
way in from the country, and
they forced him to carry the
cross.

5. They brought Jesus to the
place called Golgotha (which
means “the place of the
skull”). It was nine in the
morning when they crucified
him. The written notice of
the charge against him read:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
They crucified two rebels
with him, one on his right
and one on his left.

6. Those who passed by hurled
insults at him, shaking their
heads and saying, “So! You
who are going to destroy the
temple and build it in three
days, come down from the
cross and save yourself!” In
the same way the chief
priests and the teachers of
the law mocked him among
themselves.

7. “He saved others,” they said,
“but he can’t save himself!
Let this Messiah, this king of
Israel, come down now from
the cross, that we may see
and believe.” Those crucified
with him also heaped insults
on him.

8. With a loud cry, Jesus
breathed his last. And when
the centurion, who stood
there in front of Jesus, saw
how he died, he said, “Surely
this man was the Son of
God!” Mark 15:20-39 (NIV)
