FIRST STATION

Jesus is condemned to death

“Pilate said to them, Then what should I do with

Jesus who is called the Messiah?” All of them

said, “Let him be crucified!” Then he asked,

“Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be

crucified!” So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be

crucified.”

Matthew 27:22-23,26

SECOND STATION

Jesus takes up His Cross

“Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the

governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole

cohort around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet

robe on him, and after twisting some thorns into a

crown, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before

him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the

Jews!” They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.  After mocking

him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes

on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.”

Matthew. 27:27-31

THIRD STATION

Jesus falls for the first time

“Surely he has born our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet

we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our

transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him

was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord

has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

Isaiah. 53:4-6

FOURTH STATION

Jesus meets His Mother

“Simon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of

many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken

against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may

be revealed”. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.”

Luke. 2:34-35,51

FIFTH STATION

The Cyrenian helps Jesus to carry the Cross

“As they went out, they came upon a man of

Cyrene, Simon by name; this man they

compelled to carry his cross.”

“Jesus told his disciples, “If any man would

come after me, let him deny himself and take

up his cross and follow me.”

Matthew. 27:32; 16:24

SIXTH STATION

Veronica wipes the face of Jesus

“He had no form or comeliness that we

should look at him, and no beauty that we

should desire him. He was despised and

rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and

acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he

was despised, and we esteemed him not.”

Isaiah. 53:2-3

SEVENTH STATION

Jesus falls for the second time

“You are righteous, O Lord, when I complain

to you.Yet I would plead my

case before you.Why does the way of the

wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous

thrive?”

Jeremiah 12:1

EIGHTH STATION

Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem who weep for him

“A great number of people followed him, and among

them were women who were beating their breasts and

wailing for him. But Jesus turned to them and said,

“Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep

for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the

days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the

barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!’ For if

they do this when the wood is green, what will happen

when it is dry?” Luke. 23:27-29,31

NINTH STATION

Jesus falls for the third time

“Are you not from of old, O Lord, my God, my Holy One?

Your eyes are too pure to behold evil, and you cannot

look on wrongdoing; why do you look on the treacherous,

and are silent when the wicked swallow those more

righteous than they?” “Write the vision, make it plain

on tablets, so that a runner may read it. For there is still

a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end,

and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will

surely come, it will not delay.”

Habakkuk 1:12-13; 2:2-3

TENTH STATION

Jesus is stripped of His garments

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his

garments and made four parts, one for each soldier;

also his tunic.  But the tunic was without seam, woven

from top to bottom; so they said to one another: “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it

to see whose it shall be”. This was to fulfil the

Scripture: “They parted my garments

among them, and for my clothing they cast lots”.

John. 19:23-24

ELEVENTH STATION

Jesus is nailed to the Cross

“And over his head they put the charge against him, which

read, “This is Jesus the King of the Jews”. Then two robbers

were crucified with him, one on the right hand and one on the left. And those who passed by

derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and

build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of

God, come down from the Cross”. So also the chief priests

with the scribes and elders mocked him, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself.

He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the Cross

and we will believe in him”. Matthew 27:37-42

TWELFTH STATION

Jesus dies on the Cross

“Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the

Cross; it read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King

of the Jews”. Many of the Jews read this

title, for the place where Jesus was

crucified was near the city; and it was

written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.”

John 19:19-20

“Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,

“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” And some of

the bystanders hearing it said, “This man is calling Elijah”. And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to

save him”. And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit”. When the

centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said,

“Truly this was the Son of God!””Matthew 27:45-50,54

THIRTEENTH STATION

Jesus is taken down from the cross and given to his Mother

“There were also many women there, looking on from afar,

who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. When it was evening,

there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of

Jesus.  He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 

Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them: “The Son of

man is to be delivered  into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and he will be

raised on the third day”. And they were greatly

distressed.” Matthew 27:55, 57-58; 17:22-2

FOURTEENTH STATION

Jesus is laid in the Tomb

“Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud,

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he

had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great

stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were

there, sitting opposite the sepulchre.”

Matthew 27:59-61

“My heart is glad,and my soul rejoices;

my body also rests secure.

For you will not leave my soul among the dead,

nor let your beloved know decay.

You show me the path of life;

in your presence there is fullness of joy,

in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.”

Psalm 16:9-11
