In Gethsemane, Jesus Christ prays in the night while his disciples Peter, James, and John sleep. The Passion of the Christ was criticized on its release for its gleeful violence. In the religious drama The Passion of the Christ, a young Jewish man is tortured and killed for his radical religious beliefs. Tormented by demons, he runs away from the city and hangs himself. A guilt-ridden Judas attempts to return the money he was paid in order to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. After cursing at the mob during the third denial, Peter flees when he recalls Jesus's forewarning of his defense. Peter is confronted by the surrounding mob for following Jesus. Caiaphas angrily tears his robes and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. When Caiaphas asks him whether he is the Son of God, Jesus replies, 'I am'. Caiaphas holds trial over the objection of some priests who are expelled from the court, during which false accusations and witnesses are brought against Jesus. Magdalene begs a passing Roman patrol to intervene but a temple guard claims she is unbalanced. John informs Mary, mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene of the arrest, while Peter follows Jesus and his captors.

As the disciples flee, the guards secure Jesus, and beat him during the journey to the Sanhedrin. Jesus heals Malchus' injury while reprimanding Peter. As the guards arrest Jesus, a fight erupts wherein Peter draws his dagger and slashes the ear of Malchus, one of the guards and a servant of the high priest Caiaphas. Bribed disciple Judas Iscariot leads a group of temple guards to the forest and betrays Jesus' identity. Hearing his disciples, he rebukes Satan by crushing the snake's head. Jesus' sweat turns into blood and drips to the ground while a serpent emerges from Satan's guise. Satan appears to Jesus in a hooded ghost-like androgynous, albino form, and tempts him.
