Script Excerpts

Opening of Monologue

Hosanna!  Hosanna!  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 

Jesus of Nazareth rode into Jerusalem that day amidst shouts of Hosanna!  Hosanna!  That was less than a week ago.

Some of the Pharisees were in the crowd that day and told Jesus to silence the crowd.  Jesus said, "If these people are silent, the rocks will cry out!" Starting then the relationship between Jesus and the Pharisees went down hill.  

Not long after entering Jerusalem, Jesus went to the temple, which was full of merchandisers, and became irate.  He started turning over tables and running people out yelling, "It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers."  After this, the Pharisees began looking for some way to destroy Jesus.

Communion Section

During dinner, Jesus took the bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to us saying "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."  In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."  

After dinner we went to the Garden. On the way Jesus said, "This very night you will all fall away on account of me."  I was amazed at the fact that Jesus doubted us.  I was more amazed that I was the only one who spoke up in opposition.  Jesus then told me something that startled me.  He said that before the rooster crows, I will disown him three times.

Conclusion of Monologue--Prior to Song

The next time I saw Jesus, He was on his way to be crucified.  He had stood before Pilate. The same people that yelled Hosanna! a week ago were yelling Crucify Him!  Crucify Him!  They chose a murderer over Jesus.  Now Jesus was on the road to Calvary where he would be crucified between two criminals.  Immediately before he died he yelled…"IT IS FINISHED."  

The next day was the Sabbath so, according to Jewish law, we could not even go to the tomb to preserve the body.  It…Was…Finished.
