Original text and translations

Latin text Agnus Christus in cruce immolatur pro omnibus, non ei adhesit Petrus qui dicebat pro te moriar, reliquit eum Thomas qui clamabat dicens omnes cum eo moriar et nullus ex illis, sed hic solus moritur. Hic solus dolores nostros tulit et languores hic solus portavit. Venite et videte coeli Rex Christus quare pependit in cruce, solus hic dolores nostros tulit.

English translation Christ the lamb was sacrificed on the cross for all mankind. Peter did not stay with him, who had said he would die for him. Thomas abandoned him, who had exclaimed that all would die with him. And none of them, but only he himself, died. He alone bore our sorrows and our weaknesses. Come and see how Christ, the king of Heaven, hangs on the cross. He alone bore our sorrows.
