The Passion

Its Passover in Jerusalem, and the city is bursting with pilgrims. Its a tense time for those charged with keeping order - like Pilate the Roman Prefect and Caiaphas the High Priest. The arrival of a preacher from Galilee called Jesus causes great excitement when he enters through the East Gate on a donkeys colt, fulfilling prophecies of the coming of the Messiah. For Jesuss band of disciples, hardened by several years on the road, this is the moment theyve been waiting for, but none of them suspects how momentous this week will be.

Jesus shares his Last Supper with the disciples, and teaches them their last and most important lesson. Whilst Judas slips away to fetch the Temple guards, Jesus leads the disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane and tries to prepare himself for what is to come. The next few hours will bring him face to face with Caiaphas, with Pilate and with his own destiny.
