The Origin of the Scriptural Way of the Cross

On Good Friday 1991, Pope John Paul II introduced this modern form of devotion. It is a version of the Way of the Cross that aligns more closely with the narratives found in the New Testament.

Later, in 2007, Pope Benedict XVI officially approved this set of stations for both public celebration and private meditation.

Important Note: This Scriptural version of the Way of the Cross complements, but does not replace, the traditional Stations of the Cross.

The current Stations of the Cross begins with the Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and ends with the Resurrection of Christ:

  • First Station: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. (Mc 14, 32-36)
  • Second Station: Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested. (Mc 14,43-46)
  • Third Station: Jesus is condemned by the Sanhedrin. (Mc 14, 55, 60-62,64)
  • Fourth Station: Jesus is denied by Peter. (Mc. 14, 66-72)
  • Fifth Station: Jesus is judged by Pilate. (Lc 23, 1-4,23-24)
  • Sixth Estación: Jesus is scourged and crowned with thorns. (Mt. 27, 26-30)
  • Seventh Station: Jesus takes up his cross. (Jn 19, 16-17)
  • Eighth Station: Jesus is helped by Simon to carry his cross. (Mc 15,21)
  • Ninth Station: Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem. (Lc 23, 27-28)
  • Tenth Station: Jesus is crucified. (Mc 15, 24-26)
  • Eleventh Station: Jesus promises his kingdom to the repentant thief. (Lc 23, 39-43)
  • Twelfth Station: Jesus entrusts Mary and John to each other. (Jn 19, 26-27)
  • Thirteenth Station: Jesus dies on the cross. (Lc 23, 44-46)
  • Fourteenth Station: Jesus is laid in the tomb. ( Jn 19,41-42)
  • Fifteenth Station: Jesus rises from the dead.

Traditional Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross have been traditionally represented, from the XVII century, by these 14 scenes or moments:

  • First Station: Jesus is condemned to death.
  • Second Station: Jesus carries his cross.
  • Third Station: Jesus falls the first time.
  • Fourth Station: Jesus meets his mother.
  • Fifth Station: Jesus is helped by Simon to carry his cross.
  • Sixth Station: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus.
  • Seventh Station: Jesus falls the second time.
  • Eighth Station: Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem.
  • Ninth Station: Jesus falls the third time.
  • Tenth Station: Jesus' clothes are taken away.
  • Eleventh Station: Jesus is nailed to the cross.
  • Twelfth Station: Jesus dies on the cross.
  • Thirteenth Station: Jesus is taken down from the cross.
  • Fourteenth Station: Jesus is laid in the tomb.

Reform by St. John Paul II: Why the Scriptural Stations?

The creation of this new version was prompted by the desire for greater consistency with the New Testament.

The Traditional Stations of the Cross often included moments drawn from the Apocryphal Gospels and longstanding traditions, such as Jesus' encounter with his mother or the scene where St. Veronica wipes his face.

In contrast, the reform established by Pope John Paul II in 1991 ensures that the 15 stations are rigorously based on Biblical passages, beginning with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and concluding with his Resurrection.

It is used alternatively to the traditional one, but does not replace it.
