Here my next part of the 5th Gospel:
IN THE TEMPLE
And Joanna came to Jerusalem. And she went to the temple. And she saw that in the temple there was little prayer but much business and dealing. The money changers with their coins sat at many tables. Sacrificial animals were offered for sale. Lambs, and pigeons.
And a great anger seized Johanna. She ran through the temple and kicked at the tables of the money changers, creating a great chaos.
Men from the temple guard came immediately. They tried to seize Joan and lead her before the high priest. But Johanna escaped and ran away.
JUDITH
Judith was one of Johanna’s disciples. She was young, beautiful and enthusiastic. Judith wanted to fight for the rights of women and girls, against the men who ruled everything, but especially the priests and the high priest.
Judith joined Johanna and her disciples and hoped that Johanna would also fight against the prevailing patriarchy.
She was also physically attracted to Johanna and tried to seduce and lie with Johanna.
But Johanna didn't want to lie with her and also didn't want to fight against the ruling patriarchy. Judith was therefore very disappointed in Johanna and separated from her. her heart was filled with thoughts of revenge thoughts.
The high priest's spies found out that Judith had thoughts of revenge for Johanna. They seized Judith and led her before the high priest and the members of the council. Judith was very afraid that they would punish her for standing up against the patriarchy.
But the high priest saw that he could easily make this young woman docile.
“Judith, we know that you fight male domination with all your heart. You will be severely punished for this. We will hand you over to the Romans. They will hit you with whips. They may even crucify you.”
Judith stood before the High Priest and the Sanhedrin, trembling with fear. She didn't expect to be punished so severely.
But the high priest saw that this young woman was completely frightened and intimidated and he intended to use her to find Joan and bring her to her punishment.
He said to her: help us to find and arrest Johanna, the rebel. it is her we really want. If you help us, we will release you and even reward you with 30 pieces of silver.
You have a night in prison to think it over. I'll ask you about it again tomorrow. you have to decide for yourself.
Judith was taken to a dark cell by two temple guards. the two men undressed Judith and threw her onto the straw mattress. then the two men molested and abused the young woman. That's a foretaste of the punishment that awaits you, they said to Judith.
Judith didn't sleep a wink all night and tossed and turned on her bed. She was terrified of the punishments the high priest had threatened her with. She had seen condemned men flogged. She had also been to Golgotha and had seen men and women nailed to the cross, suffering and dying in terrible torment.
She didn't want to be tortured and die like that. So she decided to betray Johanna.
When Judith was brought before the high council in the morning, the high priest asked her what she had decided. Judith replied that she was willing to hand Johanna over to them. The high priest and the members of the high council rejoiced. they agreed with Judith that she should lead the temple guards to Johanna.
And the temple guards gave Judith her clothes back. and Judith led them to the Garden of Gethsemane, for she knew that Joan often dwelt there with her disciples.
And Judith came to the Garden of Gethsemane with the armed temple guards. And they found Joanna in the midst of her sleeping disciples. But Johanna was awake and had been expecting Judith. And Judith went to her and kissed her.
And she said to the temple guards: This is her who you seek.
And the men of the temple guard seized Johanna and bound her with ropes. But Johanna's disciples fled from the temple guards.
The temple guards gave Judith a bag containing 30 pieces of silver. they told her that she was free to go now.
Judith saw the men arrest Johanna and bind her hands with ropes. she regretted having betrayed Johanna. But there was nothing more she could do to save the young woman from her cruel fate.

IN FRONT OF THE HIGH PRIEST AND WITH THE TEMPLE GUARDS
And the men of the temple guard seized Johanna and brought her before the High Priest and the High Council.
And the High Priest saw that Joan was young and very beautiful.
And he spoke to her.
Why did you enter the temple and cause trouble there? What does it matter to you if there is trading in the temple?
But Johanna answered him and said:
The temple is my father's house. People should pray to him there. But you make it a den of thieves.
And the High Priest heard this and was very angry. He questioned Johanna about what she had done in the temple, but she didn't give him the answers he wanted to hear. So the High Priest left Johanna in the hands of the temple guards, who threw her into a dark, damp cell.
While the High Priest discussed with the other members of the High Council how they wanted to punish Johanna, the temple guards took her out from the cell and to their guard room.
And they robbed Johanna of all her clothes. There she stood, completely naked, in front of the rude men and was ashamed of her nakedness.
Look at the little one, what a pretty figure you have.
She tried to cover her nakedness with her hands, tears streaming from her eyes. Why were these men so cruel and so mean to her?
The temple guards examined Joan and found that she was still a virgin. But the High Priest had forbidden them to violate and deflower Johanna if she was still a virgin.
And the men of the temple guard were very angry that they were not allowed to satisfy their lust on the girl's naked flesh.
Johannas' young and beautiful body really appealed to them and they would have liked to ravish and abuse the girl.
And the captain of the guard ordered his men to hold her by her arms. He reached for Johanna's breasts and weighed them in his hand.
Well, you little Jewish whore, you already have pretty big tits.
And he reached between her legs and stroked the soft bush of dark hair.
It's a shame we can't let you bleed here. But you will please us in other ways.
With the palm of his hand he hit Johanna in the face so hard that Johanna was completely dazed by the blows.
And the captain freed his erect phallus and held it in front of the girl's face. He grabbed Johanna's hair and wanted to force her to take his phallus into her mouth.
Come on you little bitch. And don't you dare bite.
But since Johanna refused to please him this way, he withdrew his phallus again, dissatisfied.
But now they laid Johanna across a table on her stomach, and two men held the naked girl down fast.
And the captain pulled her buttocks apart and let his saliva fall into the crack between them.
Let me show you what a real temple guard can do.
And the captain tried to penetrate her tight, virgin ass with his stiff phallus. Johanna screamed in pain, but the man was unable to penetrate her.
And the men formed a circle and pushed the helpless, naked girl back and forth between them. They groped her all over her body with their calloused hands, grabbing her breasts and touching her between her legs.
You have good tits, Sweetie. You would be better off becoming a whore. With this body you would have earned many pieces of silver spreading your beautiful legs. And you would live longer.
Looks like the Romans will crucify you, and many people will come to the Golgotha to see you writhing on the cross and shaking those tits.
They mocked Johanna and beat her with their fists.
You stupid little cunt! How dare you speak so boldly to the high priest? You will be severely punished for this.
But while the men of the temple guard abused and beat the helpless, naked girl, the High Priest and the High Council agreed that Johanna must die. However, only the Roman occupying power was allowed to pronounce and carry out a death sentence. If the Roman procurator sentenced Joan to death, she would be taken to the Golgotha and crucified. The priests agreed that crucifixion would be the appropriate punishment for Johanna's crime. So they decided to take her to Pontius Pilate, the Roman Procurator of the province of Judea.

BEFORE PILATE
And the High Priest had Johanna taken to Pilate, the Roman procurator.
And Johanna was only dressed in her thin undergarment. And her hands were tied behind her back with a rough rope.
The High Priest presented Joan as a notorious troublemaker and also reported what Johanna had done in the temple. He did not forget to mention that Johanna had spoken to many people and that she had already been called a Messiah and a Queen.
And Pilate looked at her and he saw a beautiful girl, slender with large breasts, dressed only in her undergarment. It was clearly visible that she had suffered abuse by the Temple Guards.
Pilate asked Johanna why she had caused such a turmoil in the Temple.
But Johanna remained silent and did not answer Pilates questions. And he became angry with her and he shouted at her and he threatened that he will have her severely punished if she will not answer him. But Johanna still remained silent. She only started to cry in front of Pilate. The High Priest insisted that Pilate should punish her for her insolence and for her transgressions. And Pilate gave the order to have Johanna flogged.
And Pilate gave the order to the Centurion to take her away and prepare her for the punishment.
And the roman Centurion and his soldiers took Johanna to the dungeons of the fortress. And they stripped Johanna of her remaining clothes until she stood in front of them stark naked. And the roman soldiers looked at her young, beautiful body with lust and made lewd comments about her female charms. They ogled and praised her slender shape and her feminine breasts.
And Johanna stood in front of them praying:
“Lord forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
And the soldiers saw that Johanna was praying and they mocked her.
Do you pray to your God to save you? He won't be able to do that either.
And the soldiers tied her hands together and they came to her and stood in a circle around her. And they pushed the helpless woman towards each other and laughed at her. And they beat her with their hands and fists, and they even kicked her with their feet. Johanna cried and sobbed and pleaded them to stop the cruel beating.
And the soldiers groped her young firm body and they probed all her body orifices with their calloused fingers. They squeezed her full firm breasts and smacked her buttocks.
The Centurion gave order to the soldiers to take Johanna and lie her down on a table. And they forced her legs apart and spread them to reveal her young womanhood. But Pilate, the prefect, had given order to find out if Johanna was still a virgin.
And the Centurion fell onto her and groped her young body with his fingers until he was sure that Johanna was still a virgin.
And the Centurion prepared himself to ravish the young woman and take her virginity away. And the men held Johanna down on the table and they forced her slender legs apart for the centurion. And he took her by force and took her virginity and he left her with her young belly full of his foul semen. And the other soldiers watched as the centurion ravished the young woman and they eagerly awaited their turn.
The men raped Johanna over and over again. And they filled her young belly with their semen. And her large, firm female breasts stimulated the men's desire. Johanna laid helpless on the table and cried silently while the insatiable men mounted her one by one, enjoying her young and beautiful body.
After the men had satisfied their lust for Johanna, they did not give back her clothes, but they put an old purple cloak around her shoulders and then tied her hands with a rope. And she was led back before Pilate by the Centurion and two soldiers.
The High Priest was also there with Pilate. The Centurion took the old cloak from her shoulders so that the girl stood stark naked in front of the men, with her hands tied behind her back. Johanna had no way of covering her nakedness with her hands. It was clear that she had been abused and raped by several men. Blood and the men's semen flowed from her womb and slowly trickled down her thighs.
And she was questioned again by Pilate.
The men have enjoyed your body. Surely you have enjoyed this, too? You are no longer a virgin. So now I can have you punished however I want. What do you think of a few blows with the flagellum? Or should I send you straight to Golgotha and have you crucified there?
Johanna was still completely dazed by what the men had done to her. She was deeply ashamed because she stood completely naked in front of these noble men and had no way to cover her nakedness with her hands. And Johanna tremblingly pressed her thighs together so that her exposed sex would not be visible.
She said to Pilate: Yes, your men have violated and raped me. Their semen fills my belly. But you can't do that with a virgin in Israel. This is a terrible outrage. I have done nothing wrong and yet you treat me like a criminal.
The Centurion heard her talking like that. He came to her and beat her.
How dare you speak thus to Pontius Pilate, the honorable governor of the province of Judea?
Johanna looked at him and asked him: why do you hit me when I defend myself?
And Pilate looked at the young, naked woman with renewed interest. He let his gaze wander over her body. She was excitingly beautiful and she triggered feelings in him that he hadn't felt for his wife Claudia for a long time.
Her body was girlishly slim, and yet very feminine at the same time. Her hips were wide and full, her thighs long and slender. Her womanhood was covered with a thick bush of fine, long, dark hair, from which her purple, girlish lips protruded.
Her breasts were even and full. They were heavy and hung down invitingly. Her nipples stood out wide, like little fingers.
Pilate desired her as he had never desired a woman before. But despite all his power, it was impossible for him to satisfy his desire.
It was obvious that also the High Priest was also extremely excited by the sight of the naked, violated beauty. The power of seeing her like this filled him with unbridled rage. He wanted nothing more than for this woman to be severely punished for her unruliness. She did not behave as befitted a woman in Israel and therefore deserved the most severe punishment.
Pilate, why do you put up with this from a woman?
Pilate looked at him and nodded.
Then he looked at Johanna and said to her:
I will have you scourged as punishment for your insolent and unruly behavior.
He gave the order:
Take her into the yard and give her 19 lashes with the flagellum.
And the High Priest grinned contentedly and looked at Johanna.
This will teach you a lesson.
And the High Priest had Johanna taken to Pilate, the Roman procurator.
And Johanna was only dressed in her thin undergarment. And her hands were tied behind her back with a rough rope.
The High Priest presented Joan as a notorious troublemaker and also reported what Johanna had done in the temple. He did not forget to mention that Johanna had spoken to many people and that she had already been called a Messiah and a Queen.

This is a great imaginative story.
There is a novel called "The Gospel According to the Romans" (which I've only dipped into because I have no patience anymore with fiction) which depicts Jesus as a Zealot-like rebel, as a lot of secular scholars tend to do.

And the centurion and the two soldiers led Johanna into the courtyard. The men untied Johanna’s hands and held her tight while a third wound a strip of old cloth around her waist and between her legs and knotted it. Except for her crude loincloth, Johanna was now completely naked at the mercy of the torturers.
A stone pillar in the middle of the courtyard was used to whip prisoners. The men led the naked woman the pillar. Her hands were chained to the pillar above her head. The soldiers were delighted at the sight of the beautiful, almost completely naked young woman. They made mean and rude comments about her female body, but especially about Johanna's full, feminine breasts.
Johanna stood at the pillar and was aware that these rough men were staring lustfully at her nakedness.
One of the men now grabbed the flagellum, the Roman army's feared torture instrument. The leather straps of this whip were decorated with pieces of bone and metal shards. The man let the whip whizz through the air. And Johanna heard the terrible, threatening sound. She was very afraid of the torture that now awaited her. Sweat broke out all over her body. She trembled and looked feverishly out for her torturer.
And the first blow hit her on her back. The pain was incredible, she had never experienced anything so painful in her life. She screamed loudly, over and over again. And the cruel whip slapped over and over again on her back, her bottom and her legs. The cruel torture caused Johanna to lose control of her body. She could no longer stand on her feet. She was half kneeling and half just hanging from the chains. Hot, steaming urine sprayed from her womb, soaking her loincloth and trickling down her thighs. The men who witnessed this cruel spectacle made nasty and cruel comments about it. She received 19 strokes, the full number of lashes for a female convict.
“She said she is a queen”, the roman soldiers said. And to mock Johanna they put the old purple cloak back on her bleeding shoulders. One of the soldiers had braided a crown of some branches of thorny wine. And they made Johanna kneel down and they forced the thorny crown on her head until it was down to her eye brows.
The soldiers made her stand in front of them, naked except for the purple old rag on her shoulders and a piece of cloth wrapped around her womanly hips and her crown of thorns.
And they knelt in front of her and pretended to worship the Queen. And they mocked her.
“Hail the queen of the Jews!”
And Johanna stood in front of them and her tears fell to the ground as she wept in pain and shame.
And they took her back to Pilate.
And Pilate took Johanna out on the balcony and presented her to the crowd gathered in the court. And he said: “behold this woman, your Queen!”.
But they shouted: we have no Queen. She is a fraud. Take her away and crucify her.
But the men in the crowd had been instructed by the High Priest and the priests of the High Counsil to shout like this.
And Pilate saw that he could not save Johanna from her fate.
And he sentenced her to be crucified.
And Pilate told the centurion how Johanna should be crucified. When the centurion was told how he had to crucify Johanna, he almost could not believe it. But he went away, ready to obey the command by Pilate.

And the first blow hit her on her back. The pain was incredible, she had never experienced anything so painful in her life. She screamed loudly, over and over again. And the cruel whip slapped over and over again on her back, her bottom and her legs. The cruel torture caused Johanna to lose control of her body. She could no longer stand on her feet. She was half kneeling and half just hanging from the chains. Hot, steaming urine sprayed from her womb, soaking her loincloth and trickling down her thighs. The men who witnessed this cruel spectacle made nasty and cruel comments about it. She received 19 strokes, the full number of lashes for a female convict.
“She said she is a queen”, the roman soldiers said. And to mock Johanna they put the old purple cloak back on her bleeding shoulders. One of the soldiers had braided a crown of some branches of thorny wine. And they made Johanna kneel down and they forced the thorny crown on her head until it was down to her eye brows.
The soldiers made her stand in front of them, naked except for the purple old rag on her shoulders and a piece of cloth wrapped around her womanly hips and her crown of thorns.
And they knelt in front of her and pretended to worship the Queen. And they mocked her.
“Hail the queen of the Jews!”
And Johanna stood in front of them and her tears fell to the ground as she wept in pain and shame.
And they took her back to Pilate.
And Pilate took Johanna out on the balcony and presented her to the crowd gathered in the court. And he said: “behold this woman, your Queen!”.
But they shouted: we have no Queen. She is a fraud. Take her away and crucify her.
But the men in the crowd had been instructed by the High Priest and the priests of the High Counsil to shout like this.
And Pilate saw that he could not save Johanna from her fate.
And he sentenced her to be crucified.
And Pilate told the centurion how Johanna should be crucified. When the centurion was told how he had to crucify Johanna, he almost could not believe it. But he went away, ready to obey the command by Pilate.

Golgatha
And the soldiers took Johanna to the court and set her crossbeam on her shoulders. And they led her through the gate and through the city to the place of execution, which was called Golgatha. Every few paces they lashed Johanna’s shoulders and backside with a flagellum to keep her going forward.
And together with Johanna they led the two robbers to Golgatha, each shouldering his own crossbeam.
On the way to the Golgotha, it turned out that Johanna had suffered too much blood loss and she fell two times under the heavy load of her crossbeam. And the soldiers forced a woman named Rachel who came along to take Johanna’s crossbeam and carry it for her to the Golgatha.
And there were some of her young disciples on the way who cried and mourned for Johanna. Even when she suffered and could hardly walk, she told them words of comfort and hope. And one of the women had a piece of cloth and wiped the dried sweat blood on Johanna’s face. But the soldiers would not let her do it and drove her away.
And when Johanna arrived at the hill called Golgatha the robbers had already been tied to their crosses with ropes and their crosses were erected. And they both squirmed and moaned in pain.
When Johanna came to the place of her crucifixion the soldiers took the crossbeam from the shoulders of Rachel and fitted the cross together. They took Rachel to a tent nearby to give her thanks for her hard work - manhandling and raping her.
And the soldiers took off the purple rag from Johanna and they left her only the loin cloth and the crown of thorns on her head. And they forced Johanna to lie down on her cross and spread her arms on the cross beam.
And they held her down on her cross and drove heavy iron nails through her dainty palms and feet with heavy hammer blows. And there was a lot of blood flowing from the wounds. And Johanna screamed and squirmed in her pain and desperation. And Johanna lost control of her body and soaked her loin cloth with urine. And the soldiers made lewd comments on her.
There was a group of her disciples on the base of the hill watching their teacher being crucified. And they embraced each other and cried when they saw how cruel their teacher was treated by the roman soldiers.
And the soldiers prepared Johanna’s cross and started to put it upright. The weight of her young body came on the four nails which pierced her limbs and Johanna felt the full pain of being nailed to her cross. And her whole young body was pouring with sweat and blood and she soaked her loincloth further with her urine. So, one of the soldiers ripped away the last piece of cloth she wore and she hung on her cross stark naked.
And Johanna’s cross had been erected between the crosses of the two robbers who had been tied to their crosses. And the robbers on the left and right of Johanna looked with lustful eyes at the young naked woman nailed to her cross and squirming and moaning in pain.
And the roman soldiers saw that Johanna was weak from the rape and torture she had endured before her crucifixion. And they decided to give Johanna a sedile to rest and last longer on her cross. But they did not do this to lessen her pain and torture but to prolong her suffering for all the onlookers.
And the roman soldiers prepared a sedile in the shape of a big male member so as to mock Johanna. And they forced her young, firm legs open and they inserted the member shaped sedile deep into her womanhood. And they nailed the base of the sedile to the upright of the cross. The sedile in her belly relieved her arms from the hanging position but it caused Johanna a lot of additional pain. Every time she moved the big member shaped sedile stirred in her womanhood.
And the roman soldiers made lewd comments about the poor young woman hanging on her cross with her womanhood penetrated by the cruel sedile.
Now you know how it feels to sit on a man and satisfy him. You always wanted to know, did you not?
And Johanna hung on her cross and felt the overwhelming pain of being crucified with nails. And she wept and moaned and screamed.
And the robber who had been crucified on her left side spoke to her.
Do you remember us? You sent us to the High Priest and to the Romans. You bewitched us with your eyes and we went there and they sentenced us to be crucified. But they only tied us to our crosses with ropes and if we survive until sundown, they will take us down from the cross and we may go free. Now look at yourself. They have taken your virginity and men have raped you repeatedly. They have scourged your backside with the flagellum. And they have nailed you to the cross, through hands and feet. They will not take you down whatever time you will need to die on your cross.
And Johanna listened to the robber and moaned in pain. She was desperate.
And the robber who had been crucified on her right side spoke to her.
I know that You sent us to the High Priest and to the Romans and that You bewitched us with your eyes and we went there and they sentenced us to be crucified. But our sentence is just and we deserve the cross for our crimes. But you are an innocent young woman and you do not deserve the scourging. And you do not deserve to be nailed to a cross and die in such horrible pain. I feel sorry for you!
And Johanna smiled at him and promised him that he will be in paradise with her when he dies.
And Johanna hung naked on her cross, her hands and feet cruelly pierced by rusty iron nails.
She felt the overwhelming agony of crucifixion and she cried and screamed and groaned in her pain.
Beneath her cross stood many men and a few women who did not want to miss the cruel spectacle.
The High Priest and some members of the High Council also came to Golgotha to witness Johanna’s crucifixion. They mocked the young woman as she writhed on the cross in her agony.
This is the just punishment for your crimes! You shall suffer!
So, you're the Queen of the Jews? Then that's your throne you're sitting on?
Yes, the Romans built you a beautiful and high throne. So you can have a very good view of the country that you rule.
They say that you have worked many miracles. Then show us a miracle! Pull out the nails and come down from your cross!
You wanted the temple to stay clean? Well, at least that way it will be spared a dirty woman like you.
Men's semen still flows from your womb. Did you enjoy their attention?
Did they let you swallow their semen too?
Did the men penetrate your ass too?
Why do you think they crucified you stark naked? You are a beauty that men in Judea rarely see. A rare spectacle to see you squirming naked on your cross.
Johanna suffered bitterly from the taunting of the people who stood under her cross. But she did not condemn them. She prayed instead for the scoffers: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.
Her mother Myriam and some of her disciples, including Suzanna, Simona and Andrea, also stood under her cross. They had watched the cruel spectacle of Johanna's crucifixion with their eyes wide open and red from crying.
They also heard all the cruel ridicule of the evil people around them.
They stood and knelt in front of Johanna's cross, looked up at the crucified woman and hugged each other to give each other comfort and steadfastness.
Johanna saw her loved ones standing under her cross and feeling her torment. Her heart was filled with great joy so that she could better bear her unbearable torment.
But the sight of the suffering on her mother's face broke her heart.
With great effort she pulled on the nails in her hands so she could breathe in some air. She whispered quietly:
"My dear ones, stay together and with each other and think of me when I'm gone,"
The evil spectators around her cross did not tire of the sight of her. No one left the place of crucifixion.
And the Roman soldiers were bored. Johanna hardly moved on her cross since they had provided her with the member shaped sedile. The cruel men, however, wanted Johanna to move and shake her heavy breasts back and forth. So they began to stab Johanna with their spears to get her moving again.
And the soldiers took Johanna to the court and set her crossbeam on her shoulders. And they led her through the gate and through the city to the place of execution, which was called Golgatha. Every few paces they lashed Johanna’s shoulders and backside with a flagellum to keep her going forward.

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.
