Alternate Stations of the Cross
or Way of the Cross for Protestants
|
![]() Sketch of the Via Dolorosa in Old Jerusalem, by James J. Tissot (1886-1896). Larger image. |
However, I don't see any reason not to focus solely on the cross for a Good Friday meditation so long as you don't neglect the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. I find Pope John Paul II's Scriptural Way of the Cross very fine as a devotional exercise.
Here's an outline of the Stations of the Cross in this Alternate or
Protestant version.
Stations | Scripture |
1. The Last Supper | Matthew 26:26-30 |
2. The Garden of Gethsemane | Matthew 26:36-41; Luke 22:40-46 |
3. Jesus before Pilate | Mark 15:1-5, 15; John 19:4-16 |
4. The Scourging and the crowning with thorns | John 19:1-3; Mark 15:15-20 |
5. The Receiving of the cross | John 19:6, 15-17 |
6. The Fall | |
7. Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus | Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26 |
8. The Women of Jerusalem | Luke 23:27-31 |
9. The Stripping of his Garments | John 19:23-24 |
10. The Good Thief | Luke 23:39-43 |
11. Mary and John Below the cross | John 19:25-27 |
12. The Death of Jesus | Luke 23:44-46; Mark 15:33-39; John 19:30 |
13. The laying in the tomb | Matthew 27:57-61; Luke 23:53-54 |
14. The Resurrection | Matthew 28:1-7 |
