Jesus Christ	John Gabriel Perboyre
He was betrayed by his apostle Judas	He was betrayed by a new young Christian
For 30 pieces of silver	For 30 ounces of silver
Judas led the soldiers to Christ in the garden	The betrayer led the soldiers to Perboyre in a bamboo forest
He was beaten with whips	He was beaten with bamboo rods
He was crowned with thorns	His forehead was tatooed with iron points
He was made to wear the red robe of a king	He was made to wear the red robe of a prisoner
He carried His own cross	He had to carry a wooden beam
He was executed with robbers	He was executed with robbers
Christ was nailed to a cross	Perboyre was tied to a beam and strangled
Christ's side was pierced to make sure of his death	Perboyre was given a violent kick in his side to make sure of his death
He was crucified at 12 noon	He died at 12 noon
Christ died on a Friday	Perboyre died on a Friday
He forgave and prayed for his enemies	He forgave and prayed for his enemies
Judas hanged himself	His betrayer hanged himself
Christ was about 38 years old at His death	Perboyre was 38 years old at his death
