The Passion 2013: the kiss by ric gustafson
Jesus touched Thomas's shoulder. " Arise, my betrayer has arrived".
He stood up and rubbed his eyes. " Are those Roman soldiers or Temple guards coming with torches?".
The disciples stared at the approaching lights coming in the darkness.
When the lights stopped, Jesus stepped forward in front of his disciples.
Judas, holding a torch, walked forward and then looked around searching for his Master. After a minute, he saw him and walked up closer. " Is that you Master?". When he was certain it was, he walked closer and then kissed Jesus on the cheek and neck.
Jesus stared at his disciple. " Is it by a kiss you betray me Judas?".
Jesus looked at the crowd. " Whom do you seek?".
One of the soldiers spoke up. " We are looking for Jesus of Nazareth".
" I am the one you are seeking".
Startled, the soldiers stumbled backwards.
