Christ's agony did not cease, but His depression and discouragement left Him. The storm had in nowise abated, but He who was its object was strengthened to meet its fury. He came forth calm and serene. A heavenly peace rested upon His bloodstained face. He had borne that which no human being could ever bear; for He had tasted the sufferings of death for every man.

Kristi sjælekval var ikke til ende, men hans nedtrykthed og modløshed var borte. Uvejret var på ingen måde stilnet af, men han, som var genstand for det, havde fået kraft til at møde dets rasen. Han vendte rolig og afklaret tilbage. Der var en himmelsk fred over hans blodplettede ansigt. Han havde båret det, som intet menneske nogensinde kunne bære, thi han havde smagt dødens lidelser for hvert menneske.
