The people at a crucifixion have no words of comfort. It's all mocking and abuse. Scolding, berating, insults. It's to make us an example. I realized I am afraid to die.
Nobody comes down from a cross alive.
Not that I have much of a life to come down for, but at least I know what it is. I do not know what will happen to me when I die. Tomorrow is the Sabbath, so this afternoon they will break my legs and I will no longer be able to breathe. I don't want to die. I am afraid.
