2 “are you the king of the jews? ” asked pilate. “you have said so,” jesus replied …22 they brought jesus to the place called golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”)… 24 and they crucified him.. 29 those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “so! you who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 come down from the cross and save yourself! ” 31 in the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “he saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 let this messiah, this king of israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” those crucified with him also heaped insults on him… 39 and when the centurion, who stood there in front of jesus, saw how he died, he said, “surely this man was the son of god! ”

an excerpt of russ's summary of the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe

lewis’s novel has a magnificent lion named aslan who allows himself to be killed to save a child from death at the hands of an evil witch. the lion is mocked and ridiculed before being killed: "why, he's only a great cat after all! how many mice have you caught today, cat? " aslan is resurrected and reappears to two girls in the novel. the kind and gentle lion reassures them that even though the witch’s magic is powerful: a deeper, stronger magic is at work in their world. he explains that because he is free of guilt and was willing to take the place of the intended victim, “death itself would start working backward."
