palms to passion 5

in the dark alone (Luke 22:47-23:25)

Under the cover of darkness, one friend betrays him with a kiss.

Another denies he knows him.

He is mocked and beaten.

And stands alone before a kangaroo court.

Shuttled off into the night for sentencing.

The powerful pass the buck on who is responsible.

But it is finally the people who welcomed him earlier in the week that sign his death sentence and instead free an insurgent murder.
