EASTER |
|
| At the temple,
the priest took money and cattle from the pilgrims in the name of God. He thus earned a
lot of money. Jesus did not like it. He said: "This priest has converted the House of God into a market-place! This is not just." The priest on hearing it became angry. He wanted to do away with Jesus. Among Jesus' followers was one called Judas. Caiap' as paid him some money, and won him over to his side. One night Jesus was praying after a religious supper. Just then Judas brought Caiaphas' guards. They arrested Jesus. Seeing this the rest of Jesus' followers ran away, and hid them -selves. They were afraid that they would also be arrested. The priest accused Jesus of stirring up rebellion against the Roman Government before the Governor of Jerusalem. The Governor's name was Pontius Pilate. The Governor ordered Jesus to be put to death, though much against his will because he was not quite sure of Jesus' guilt. |
