Jesus Page #6

And the council of the elders met

to see how they might rid

themselves of Jesus.

Then entered Satan into Judas,

surnamed Iscariot,

who was one of the twelve.

Pray that you may not

enter into temptation.

Father, if Thou be willing,

Remove this cup from Me.

Never-the-less,

not My will but Thy will be done.

And an angel from heaven appeared

to Him to strengthen Him.

And His sweat was as though it were

great drops of blood falling to the ground.

Why are you sleeping?

Get up,

and pray that you do not

fall into temptation.

Judas.

Is it with a kiss that you

betray the Son of Man?

Lord, shall we smite with our swords?

Come on, arrest Him.

Enough of this.

A miracle.

Did you have to bring swords and

clubs as though I were an outlaw?

I was with you every day in the temple

and you did not try to arrest Me.

But this is your hour to act,

when the power of darkness rules.

Arrest Him.

Guard Him well.

Here's a cloak worn by a king.

Tell us what's going to happen.

Are you going to save us, Your Majesty?

Are you going to save us?

This man was with Jesus, too.

Woman, I don't even know Him.

I saw them together.

Your humble servants.

How does it feel to look up to somebody?

You are one of them too.

But I am not.

There is no doubt that

this man was with Jesus.

Because he is also a Galilean.

I don't know what - what

you're talking about.

Lord, we beseech Thee,

Do as Thou ought.

In accordance with the

greatness of Thy power.

Thou, Who did forgive our fathers

when they rebelled against Thy word.

Thou, Who was angry with them,

Thou did not destroy them.

Because of Thy love for them and for

Thy Covenant's and faithfulness' sake,

Thou did spare them.

Who hit You? Guess.

Prophesy. Who will hit you next?

Stop it. Stop it I said.

Bring Him before the council.

Go.

Tell us, are You the Messiah?

If I tell you, you will not believe Me.

And if I ask you a question,

you will not answer Me.

But from now on the Son of Man

will be seated at the right

side of Almighty God.

Are You, then, the Son of God?

You say that I am.

Who gives him the authority to say that?

Guilty.

We ourselves have heard what He said.

We will take Him to Pilate.

Yes, yes, away with Him.

Move.

And they took Jesus before Pontius Pilate,

the most vicious of all Roman procurators,

alone responsible for the

crucifixion of thousands.

And what do you want here,

at this hour of the morning?

We caught this Man perverting our people.

He caused an uproar in the temple market.

What will be His punishment?

Sentence Him.

I see no reason to condemn

this Man, no reason.

We found Him guilty.

Telling them not to pay taxes

to the emperor.

Claiming Himself to be the Messiah, a King.

A King? Are You the

King of the Jews?

So you say.

He began in Galilee

and now He has come here.

In Galilee?

Is this Man a Galilean?

In that case, we'll let

Herod deal with Him.

He's still here in Jerusalem, isn't he?

Take Him to Herod.

Who is it that You say You are?

Who are those You call Your disciples?

It is said by many You can perform signs.

Do something for me.

My Lord, He has been

corrupting all the people.

He calls Himself, the King.

This man? A King?

Your Majesty.

Mark Him well.

Send Him back to Pilate.

This is his province.

This Man has done nothing to deserve death.

So I will have Him whipped and let Him go.

You are obliged to release one

man to us at this festival.

Release to us, Barabbas.

And away with this Man.

Crucify Him.

Yes. Crucify Him.

You, you, whip Him.

What are you waiting for, Pilate?

Why do you torment Him so?

Leave Him alone, He's the Messiah.

He has done nothing wrong.

Lift Him up.

Crucify Him. Kill Him.

Back. Get back. Back.

Get away.

Keep away from Him.

Get back. Back. Get away.

Make room. Get out.

You, out of the way.

Move, when I tell you.

Get up. Get up..

You, what's your name?

Simon of Cyrene, sir.

Step over here.

Cut the ropes.

You... carry it. Come on, move.

Move on. Clear the way there.

Back, get back. Get back.

We weep for you, Lord, we weep.

Drink this. Drink.

Drink, Lord.

Women of Jerusalem, don't weep for Me,

but weep for yourselves

and for your children.

For if things as these take

place when the wood is green,

what will happen when it is dry?

God help You.

We will pray for You.

Move. Down here. Come on.

Quicker, quicker.

Now you go.

Go on. Keep up.

Quicker. Come on.

Quicker.

Now, move. Move.

Now, you go ahead. Come on now.

Get on with it.

Raise.

Put the peg in.

Stay ropes loose.

Forgive them, Father,

for they do not know what they are doing.

He has saved others.

Let Him save Himself.

Yes, save Yourself if You're the Messiah.

Yes. Come down from the cross.

Show us one of Your miracles.

This is no ordinary mystic's garment.

Let go. No, don't tear it.

I'll tell you what.

Let's play for this.

Ah, you lucky devil.

What will you do with it

now that you've won it?

Save Yourself if You

are the King of the Jews.

Aren't...

...You...

...the Messiah?

Save...

Yourself...

and us.

Don't you fear God?

He received the same sentence, you did,

but He has done nothing wrong.

Remember me, Jesus, when You come as King.

I promise you. Today, you

will be in paradise, with Me.

It was about noon

and a darkness fell across

the whole land for three hours,

until about 3:
00 in the afternoon.

The curtain of the temple

was torn right down the middle.

Father, into Thy hands...

I commit,

My spirit.

Glory be to God.

Certainly, this was a righteous Man.

Joseph of Arimathea, a righteous

member of the religious council

who had not consented to this deed,

got permission from Pontius Pilate

to lay Jesus' body in a tomb

before the Sabbath began at sundown.

Forgive us. We are

following the body of our Lord.

All are welcome. But come,

the Sabbath is approaching.

Very early on the Sunday morning

they came to the tomb carrying

the spices they had prepared.

Why do you seek the Living among the dead?

He is not here. He is risen.

Remember what He said to you

while He was in Galilee:

The Son of Man will be handed over

to sinful men, be crucified,

And on the third day rise again.

Listen.

The stone was rolled away.

We entered and the body

of our Lord was gone.

What?

The body of our Lord, gone?

And two men appeared to us...

angels, shining, like

the sun. They said to us:

Why do you look for the Living

among the dead? It's true.

Believe us. Believe us.

We saw them.

Go and see for yourself.

The tomb was empty.

Our Lord was gone.

Peter, you must believe us.

The Lord is risen indeed.

He has appeared to Simon.

We didn't recognize Him, not on the road.

But when He broke bread, then we knew Him.

At Emmaus. How strange

He should go there.

Peace be with you.

Why are you troubled?

Why are these doubts

coming up in your minds?

Look, my hands and my feet,

and see that it is I, Myself.

Feel Me and you will know.

For a spirit does not have flesh
