Narration 4
Narrator 1: Now, Jesus and the twelve leave the upstairs room and make their way to the
Mount of Olives where they head eastward to a garden called Gethsemane, which means
"the oil press." It's a place Jesus knows well. So does His betrayer.
Narrator 2: Leaving His disciples to keep watch, Jesus falls on His face in deep despair.
And just as He has done his entire life, He turns to His Father.
Narrator 1: "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not
as I will, but as You will." In great sorrow, Jesus prays until finally He surrenders
….completely.
Narrator 2: Moments later, lanterns appear and a crowd enters the garden with torches
and swords. Judas, the betrayer, is in the lead.
Narrator 1: Jesus steps forward, "Whom do you seek?"
Narrator 2: "Jesus the Nazarene," they respond.
Narrator 1: And just as God speaks His name to Moses at the burning bush, "I AM who
I AM."
Narrator 2: Just as God tells Moses to say to Israel, "I AM has sent me."
Narrator 1: Jesus responds by using His Father's name. (music begins) Jesus is the "I
AM" of the burning bush!
Narrator 2: "I AM He!"
Narrator 1: Hearing this, they drew back and fell to the ground!
