He is coming! He is coming this way!... His hands are bound!... They are striking him!...
Another
He is weeping!... His eyes are bleeding!...
Another
They are taking him to Pilate!... There are Peter and John, hiding themselves!...
Another
The blood is dripping on his feet!...
Another
He cannot walk any farther!... He staggers! He staggers!...
