📖 The lesson explores sixteen scenes, starting from Jesus being abandoned by his disciples and ending with the women guarding the tomb, highlighting significant moments like Jesus' arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial.

📍 Pilate, the Roman governor, had his seat in the Tower of Antonia in Jerusalem during the time of Passover.

🚶‍♂️ Jesus was taken from the house of the high priest to the Tower of Antonia and then to the palace of Herod before being taken to Golgotha.
