The soldiers took Jesus away to a hill called Golgotha or Calvary. There they
crucified him and put him to death on a wooden cross. But even while he was on
the cross, he forgave those who were crucifying him. He said, "Father, forgive
them. They don't know what they are doing." It was during this time that some
people came to know that he was the Son of God. One of these was a thief who
was being crucified on a cross next to Jesus. Another who believed was a Roman
soldier who was watching. There was a great earthquake. When the soldier heard
the earthquake and saw the things that were happening, he became afraid and
said, "Truly this was the Son of God!" When Jesus died, the thick curtain in
the Temple was torn apart. It ripped from the top to the bottom. This curtain
had separated two rooms. In one room only the high priest could go, and in the
other room, others could go. When Jesus died, he made it possible for all
people to go to God and worship him without anyone else in between. Jesus is
now our high priest.
