The Power of the Resurrection Page #3

Synopsis: A young man, Facing torture and possibly death for his Christian beliefs, confesses his fears to Peter, who awaits a similar fate. Peter tells him of fear he felt in following Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethesamene, when he denied knowing him three times - and yet Jesus told him that he would be the rock upon which the Church was built. Peter goes on to relate the events of the passion week, including the Christ's crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.

them to him then we bring him here and

spread word of his capture throughout

the city Oh No

before we spread the word with miss turn

him over to the Romans after all that is

what will stir up the people if he is a

prisoner of the Romans

of course now go soldiers are waiting

for you

get ready we have a whole night ahead of

us.

So you could not watch with me one hour

all of you pick up we got I'm sorry

master we we meant to stay awake and

watch but somehow yes the Spirit is

willing but the flesh is weak

rise see my betrayer is at hand

betrayer for where Oh

whom do you seek Jesus of Nazareth

I am he I have to make sure those are my

orders go on.

I told you that I am he let these men go

see that man put back your sword for all

those who take the sword will perish by

the sword March

was there

step into the light

let's see your face what do you want

here I'm a visitor to the city making a

holiday pilgrimage hi I have no place to

stay I was looking for a fire to warm

myself there's a fire in the gatehouse

you can warm yourself there

what do you want here why just to warm

myself by your fire that's all Oh

welcome in a man was led in here a few

moments ago he was from Galilee I

thought you might know him a man a

prophet of some kind do you know him no

I don't know why I was just asking

that's all

and enough it's a holiday I have to have

a trial to the way we went to capture it

that's not right on a holy day does he

really believe he's the Messiah he's

very calm very brave for the kind of

danger ease in

want to know something we didn't capture

him but I thought he came with us

voluntarily in fact it seemed for a

moment like he was in command what do

you think they'll do to him now any man

who threatens the power of the high

priest is in real danger I know

still how did you get in here yeah they

told me I could warm myself at your fire

all right but be quiet no matter what

happens you think it'll take long I

don't know what are they doing in there

testify that this man is blasphemy

nothing more witnesses are needed there

is yet one more

did you hear that last the penalty for

that is death course why do you think AF

has called all those judges together in

the middle of the night after all you

know him he was in the gatehouse a

little while ago what's he doing here

oh you think he's connected with that

one in there you're making a mistake I

don't know that man Something About You

seems familiar to the worthy high priest

spoke about a special witness can we see

him I was told to keep that door closed

yes but for something so special all

right

but keep quiet you heard the other

witnesses who testified you said I am

able to destroy the temple of God and

rebuild it in three days did you say

that I think your silence is answer

enough but I think too that any man who

claims to do such miracles is a

blasphemer and I scroll prove it I pre

seems pretty sure of himself

I adjure you by the Living God tell us

if you are the Christ the Son of God I

ask you again

are you the Christ the Son of the.

Blessed I I am there is no need to hear

any more the man convicts him self

blasphemy

now I know when we came to take him at.

Gethsemane you defended him you cried

out you drew your sword that's how I

know you you are one of his fault I'm

not I tell you I don't know that man I

never did

I'm gonna f***

better not to have been born dogs to be

born

Peter

where have you been all night what is it

Thomas what have they done to him then

you didn't know

it is finished

father into thy hands I commend my

spirit

you

you

you

let's get on with it so we can remove

the crosses - yes sir captain yes what

is it

from Pontius Pilate himself are you the

judge Joseph of arimathea referred to in

here I am alright then the body of that

that prophet

this man has permission to take it My

servants will tend to it if you don't

mind let them out of my hands now

the winding cloth the napkin to cover

his face everything according to our

customer

now the storm.

Oh.

Yes I guess this storm will do but I

will see to it that there is no

tampering with this burial what is the

meaning of this Pontius Pilate himself

gave me permission to bury him

that was before Anna's and calf has

warned him about the prophecy prophecy

yes you should know you were present at

the trial.

Oh destroy the temple and in three days

I will rebuild it exactly except that he

was not referring to any temple but to

his own body it was a prophecy that he

would rise again after being three days

dead well you will not have any chance

to carry away his body and say that he

arose and left by himself

later there will be no miracles here and

no hysteria Caesar will forbid it so

Caesar will forbid God

you really believe that my dear friend

it won't matter what anyone believes

once we have done our job excuse me

you

you

well is everything to your satisfaction

quite captain have them roll up the

stone to cover the entrance completely

desert and forward

no but everyone know that whoever

tampers with this tomb defies the

authority of Caesar every moment of the

next three days there must be guards

here you you stand guard here see that

they are replaced at regular intervals

they will be

now if he wants to come out let him.

I tell you I'm getting tired of being

made fun of we're getting to be known as

the graveyard Patrol well I heard them

to say it headquarters this the last day

we'll be here what's so important about

this one anyhow I don't know yet if so

many important people are so worked up

about it

maybe something too

no hand no power that anyone could see

and the stone was rolled away and his

body was gone so the women discovered

when they went bringing spices to the

tomb back they went to the upper room

and when they had told us John and I

went at once to see for ourselves

year out empty

and he is not here

what does it mean

men have done this cannot be for any

good purpose but if God has done it

you

well just as you said he's not there

come we must tell the others at once

marry I will wait here it could be

dangerous

nevertheless I will wait

Thomas

if we hadn't seen for ourselves if he

hadn't appeared to us here in this very

room not when I was here true yet we saw

I say again not till I see the nail

wounds the place where the spears struck

can I believe

lord

you

peace be with you Lord you heard what I

said I'm so ashamed

Thomas place your finger here and see my

hands

than May of wounds put out your hand and

place it here in my side.

I love hurtin my god you believe because

you have seen me blessed are those who

have not seen yet believe

unless that are those who have not seen

yet believe is led his words still I've

been there to have seen it after that

one could have had no more fears so I

would have thought but he knew us better
