Jesus Is Taken before Caiaphas
Extract 9
Jesus
I was taken before Caiaphas, where I was received with jeers and insults. One of his soldiers struck My cheek. It was
the first blow I received and in it I saw the first mortal sin of many souls who, after having lived in grace, committed
that first sin… So many other sins followed that first sin, serving as an example so that other souls would also commit
them.
My Apostles abandoned Me and Peter remained hidden behind a fence, amongst the servants, spying, moved by curiosity.
With Me were men only trying to accumulate crimes against Me, accusations that could further incite the anger of such
wicked judges. There I saw the faces of all the demons, of all the bad angels. They accused Me of disturbing the order,
of being an instigator and a false prophet, of being blasphemous, and profaning the Sabbath. And the soldiers,
overexcited by the slanders, shouted and threatened Me.
Then My silence cried out, shaking My whole Body. Where are you, Apostles and disciples who have been witnesses of My
Life, of My teachings and of My miracles? Of all those from whom I was expecting some proof of love, there is no one
left to defend Me. I am alone and surrounded by soldiers who want to devour Me like wolves.
Contemplate how they mistreated Me: one deals Me a blow against the face, another thrusts his dirty saliva at Me,
another twists My face to make fun of Me; another pulls My beard; another wrings My arms between his fingers; another
hits My genitals with his knee, and when I fall, two of them pull Me up by the hair.
