Scene 19: Jesus falls a Second time (Station 7)

Jesus is very weak from his tortures
 Jesus, even with the help of Simon of Cyrene, is still weakened and falls again.
The centurion Longinus has been close to Jesus from the time Pilate asked him to bring Jesus to Pilate and throughout his punishment and interviews with Pilate.
Something has to give. You can see him changing from an uncaring professional soldier just doing his duty to one that is trying to reduce the needless suffering and perhaps even more at the end.
Simon of Cyrene continues to do his best to support the cross, but Jesus has had no sleep for at least 36 hours, plus his arrest, beatings, torture and stress, combined wth blood loss, makes this a very difficult journey.

The Centurion looks on

Simon watches on as Jesus recovers

Once more ...
