After the great suffering of receiving forty lashes less one, Jesus was sent to the Mount of Calvary to be crucified.
Nails were hammered in his hands and feet and later his body and the wood cross raised up very high so everybody around can watch the punishment.
In the middle of a such torture of waiting for his death while bleeding himself, people were crying, others were insulting him, others were just observing.
At one moment, Jesus apparently woke up from his unconscious status due to the tremendous pain from the wounded arms and legs and the crown of thorns. He found John, his younger disciple, hiding between the people.
-John, please come near me.
-No my Lord, I can't do that... the Pharisees and Romans might recognize me as your disciple and I might be arrested.
-Fear not, my dear John. Come near me, I want to reveal you something.
Very carefully John approached a place close and right in front of the cross.
Jesus told him while looking at the horizon.
-Do you know what?... from here I can see Peter's house...
I listened to the widow of the voiceover man for that message recently. She was on the radio talking about going down to the relevant platform just to hear his voice again. Sad, eh?
Gosh - years since I heard that. Quite a big gap too! I was always terrified of my leg going through it and being dragged along by the train - it really was worrying in the rush hour.
