After the Last Supper, Jesus goes out to the Garden of Olives to pray and asks his father to protect him. Peter, James and John fall asleep nearby. Satan urges him to escape what awaits him, and he refuses.

The guards seize him and strike him as they take him to the Sanhedrin. John brings word to Mary and Mary Magdalene, who join Peter. Caiaphas puts Jesus on trial amid false accusations, and Pharisees who object to the proceedings are thrown out of the court.
