"Then delivered he [Pilate] him [Jesus] therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was "Jesus Of Nazareth the King of The Jews. " (John 19:16-19 KJV)
In the words of the 1917 Common Service Book Litany, we pray-
By thine Agony and Bloody Sweat; by thy Cross and Passion; by thy precious Death and Burial; by thy glorious Resurrection and Ascension, and by the Coming of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
Help us, good Lord.
In all time of our tribulation; in all time of our prosperity; in the hour of death, and in the day of judgment,
Help us, good Lord.
