We are in the garden now, he is wearing a blue Wrangler jeans with a white Moncler polo shirt...must I send you his picture? Go online and download his picture. You've been in this city for long enough for you to recognise him. Anyways, that won't be necessary.
Once, I go to him and take a selfie with him, then you and your men should sweep in. That's the signal. Do you understand?" "Copied," the Police Officer said at the other end of the line.

"Judas, son of Iscariot, you betray me with a selfie?" Jesus said, as Judas took a picture of himself and Jesus. Suddenly, about fifty heavily armed police men swept into the garden where Jesus was and whisked him away. All his team members ran away in different directions.
He was charged to a military tribunal, because he was accused to be an enemy of the state. Moreso, the government wanted to limit all his rights to a legal counsel.
False charges were brought against him and he chose not to defend himself.

The government had already planned his execution even before his arraignment.
They planned to execute him in an old fashion way. No electric chair, no lethal injection, not even a firing squad. It was death by hanging - not on the gallows, but on a cross by nailing his wrists and legs as he stretches out on the wooden cross. The intention is to make him bleed to death. It's a painful and agonising way to die. It's a slow death, the kind undeserving of an innocent man like Jesus.
