Sorrowful mystery: The agony in the garden.
And He came out, and went, as He was wont, to the mount of
Olives; and His deciples also followed Him. And when He was at the place, He said unto
them: "Pray that ye enter not into temptation". And He was withdrawn from them
about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed: "Saying, Father, if Thou be
willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done". And
there appeared an angel unto Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
(Luke 22,39-43) |

Sorrowful mystery: The scourging at the pillar.
They led Him unto Pilate and they began to accuse Him. And
Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, said
unto them: "I have found no fault in this man". And they cried out all at once,
saying: "Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas". And Pilate gave
sentence that it should be as they required, and he released unto them him that for
sedition and murder was cast into prison, but he delivered Jesus to their will.
(Luke 23,1-25) |

Sorrowful mystery: The crowning of thorns.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto Him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped Him, and put on
Him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon His
head, and a reed in His right hand, and they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him,
saying: "Hail, King of the Jews!". And they spit upon Him, and took the reed,
and smote Him on the head.

4th
Sorrowful mystery: The carrying of the cross.
And as they led Him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
Cyrenian, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there
followed Him a great company of people, and of women,which also bewailed and lamented Him.
But Jesus turning unto them said: "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep
for yourselves, and for your children, for if they do these things in a green tree, what
shall be done in the dry?".
(Luke 23,26-32) |

5th
Sorrowful mystery: The crucifixion.
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, they
gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall, and when He had tasted thereof, He would not
drink. And they crucified Him. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the
land unto the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice: "Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani?", that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken
Me?". Jesus when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
(Matthew 27,33-46) |
