The end is coming now:
And one of Joanna's disciples ran to Joseph, who was believed to be Johanna's father. And she said to him:
Joseph, your daughter Johanna was captured by the Romans. The governor had her scourged and sentenced her to death. She was led to Golgotha and crucified there. Hurry if you want to see her alive.
And Joseph went to Golgotha and saw his daughter Johanna hanging there on the cross. And he saw that she was completely naked, and that the semen of men was oozing from her womb.
And Joseph saw that Johanna's body had changed a lot since he had last seen her. Her hair had grown very long and reached down to her waist. Her legs had become slim and long and her hips were now wider, making her appear much more feminine. Joseph also saw that her breasts had grown a lot and had become much larger and more beautiful. Since their last encounter, Johanna had grown into an excitingly beautiful young woman. He also saw that the Romans had failed to diminish her beauty and grace through the torture.
And he saw that the Romans had beaten her with scourges. And he saw that the Romans had pressed a crown of thorny branches upon her head. And Joseph saw that the Romans had made a wooden seat for Johanna, which was shaped like the erect limb of a man, and that they had fastened it to the cross in such a way that Johanna sat on it as if she were sitting on a man.
And he saw that Johanna had been crucified between two men. However, these men had not been scourged and were only tied to their crosses with ropes.
But they had nailed Johanna to her cross with four heavy nails through her hands and feet, and Joseph saw that Johanna was bleeding from her wounds and that she was suffering the most terrible torments of crucifixion.
And Joseph looked up at the crucified woman and said to her.
See what has become of you. The Romans raped you, beat you with scourges and nailed you naked to the cross. They didn't even leave a loincloth to cover your female nakedness. You are nothing more than the mockery of the people who pass by your cross.
Why did you run away from home and cause your mother so much grief? Why didn't you stay with us? Didn't you have a good time in my house? Why did you have to go out and anger the priests and authorities of the temple so much that they turned you over to the Romans and demanded your death? You deserve this severe punishment because of everything you have done. I have no pity for you.
But Johanna, who hung on the cross in her torment, was already so weak that she couldn't give Joseph an answer to his lies and accusations and didn't want too either. She spoke quietly:
I forgive you too your sins, no matter how bad they are.
And Joseph saw his wife Myriam standing with the disciples. And he went to her and took hold of her and began to drag her away from the place of crucifixion. But Myriam didn't want to go because she didn't want to leave her daughter alone in the hour of worst torment and death.
But Joseph said to her, and he also said to the disciples:
The Romans condemned Johanna as a troublemaker and crucified her. They will arrest any of her followers, male or female, who is still standing under her cross when she dies and will also charge them with causing trouble. I'm taking Myriam away now, but you should also get away from here quickly if you don't want to suffer the same fate as Johanna.
And Joseph took Myriam's arm and dragged her away with him.
And great fear seized the hearts of some of the disciples who were standing under the cross, and they went away and fled from the danger of which Joseph had spoken to them.
But there were three of Johanna’s closest disciples who did not want to flee the site of crucifixion despite Joseph's threat.
And these were Mary Magdalene, Suzanna and Judith, who did not flee from the threat of the Romans, but persevered under the cross of their teacher. These three women encouraged each other and wept together over Johanna's fate and the great torment that the young woman had to endure on the cross.
And as the day drew to a close, the centurion responsible for the crucifixions remembered Pilate's command. But Pilate had commanded him that all three crucified should die when the day ended. But Pilate wanted to prevent Johanna's followers from removing the crucified woman from the cross and taking her away under the cover of darkness.
But the centurion saw that Johanna was already close to death. He gave the order to remove Johannes sedile in order to hasten her death. And the soldiers took hold of Johanna’s buttocks and lifted her up from the wooden seat. And they took away her wooden seat, and left Johanna hanging on her cross.
But the centurion gave the order to break the legs of the two robbers on the other crosses so that they too would die more quickly. And one of the legionnaires seized a heavy iron rod. And he went to the robber who had mocked Johanna. And the robber begged for mercy, but the legionnaire shattered both his legs with a single blow. And the robber hung, wheezing, by his arms that were tied to the cross. And the legionnaire also went to the other robber. But he did not beg for mercy, but endured his just punishment. Both of his legs were also shattered with one blow from the heavy iron rod.
The legionnaire went with the iron bar to the middle cross on which Johanna was writhing in her torment. But the centurion saw that Johanna's death was imminent and he shook his head. It so happened that Johanna's legs were not broken.
But Joseph was right in his prediction. The Romans surrounded the three remaining disciples and threatened them with their spears. They bound their hands with coarse ropes and wanted to lead them to the city. Mary Magdalene, however, pleaded with the centurion and asked that they be allowed to remain under the cross until Johanna was gone. The centurion took pity on the women and ordered them to stay until Johanna had died.
The two robbers, whose legs had been broken, were desperately clinging to their crosses. But without the support of their legs, it was impossible for them to pull themselves up the crossbar to breathe. One by one, they died a painful death, wheezing in pain.
The crucified Johanna was only hanging from the heavy iron nails that had been driven through her hands and feet. After the men removed the wooden seat from her, it became increasingly difficult for her to sit up on her cross and breathe. She became weaker and weaker, death was approaching and grasping her heart with an icy hand.
The last spectators beneath her cross saw the naked girl writhing in her final agony. The remaining men enjoyed watching her toss her heavy, full breasts back and forth in desperation.
But then it was over and Johanna no longer had the strength to move on the cross. Moaning softly, she only hung on her hands that had been pierced by the iron nails. With the last of her strength, she raised her voice and asked for water. The centurion nodded and one of the legionnaires put a sponge on a spear, dipped it into the bucket of sour wine that was under the cross and offered it to the girl to drink. Johanna wet her dry lips on the sponge, but she was too exhausted to drink the water. And she groaned loudly one last time before death took hold of her.
The three women under the cross, who had been waiting for their end, huddled together and wept bitterly for their dead teacher, but also for their own fate to come.
But the centurion realized that Johanna was no longer alive. According to Pilate's orders, he took a long spear and plunged it into Johanna 's chest so that her death would be certain.
Then he gave the order to take the three women away.
But the bodies of Johanna and the two robbers who had been crucified with her remained on their crosses as a warning to all those who challenged Rome.
