NARRATOR 1:
Hear of the Lord's passion:
That night as Jesus was being interrogated, Peter stood
outside warming his hands at the fire. Three times he
was asked if he knew Jesus, and each time he denied it.
When he realized what he had done, he was overcome
with shame. Soon after, Jesus was brought to Pilate,
who handed Him over to be beaten. The soldiers
dressed Him in a purple robe, and fashioned a crown of
thorns and placed it on His head. They knelt before
Him and mocked him saying,
"All hail the King!"
Now it was the custom at Passover to release a prisoner
of the people's choosing. So Pilate brought Jesus and a
notorious prisoner named Barabbas before the crowd.
Still wearing the purple robe, Jesus stood in silence
before them. Pilate said,
"Behold your king! Whom do you want me to release
to you: Jesus or Barabbas?"
"Barabbas!"
"And what shall I do with the one called Christ?"
"Crucify him!"
"Shall I crucify your king?"
"We have no king but Caesar! Crucify him!"
So Pilate released Barabbas, and surrendered Jesus to be
crucified.
Hear of the Lord's promise:
"As surely as I live," says the Lord, "every knee will
bow before me; every tongue will confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord."
