Pilate's Vendetta

You have got to be kidding me... in the name of Zeus! The man is freaking innocent and you want me

to crucify him!? Even worse, you are willing to sink so low as to start a riot...You're like a bunch of

babies pouting because of cheap food... Somebody's got to knock some sense into you... But what am

I supposed to do? I can't get rid of all these people... Or can I?... No ...The Emperor wouldn't allow

genocide...Why am I always stuck with these problems?... It's hard being the governor of an empire...

Athena give me wisdom... This riot could make the government look like a bunch of idiots...

Then again... Jesus is innocent... But what is one man's life compared to a kingdom?

The Rooster's Crow

Oh no… What have I done! I did exactly what Jesus told me I would do. I denied Him…

But I was so sure that I would never… I even gave Him my word that I would follow Him to

death! I was so scared for my life…That I reacted without thinking. But my life is worth

saving… Who else would continue preaching?… No, that is besides the point. How could

I… Disown my teacher who has guided me through so much?… The worst part… I denied

Him at his most desperate time of need. I am so sorry Jesus… I feel disgusted with

myself… That I could have done such a thing… Please forgive me…

KIngdom Monologue

This person in front of me dropped a $100.00. Should I take it or tell him? Think of all the stuff I could buy. That would be the $100.00 I need for the my moms medicine that she needs. That could be the money I need for Dad's birthday present… Wow! He would be so happy.  He would be. I should take it… What if he needs that money? What if that is his lunch money for this week? Am I going to make someone starve for my own selfish gain? Did he owe someone this money? The right thing to do would be to give the money back … But if I had that money, I would be $100.00 less in the hole… Obviously, if he did not care about the money in the first place … Who drops $100.00 if they wanted to keep it?  Maybe I should leave it ? If I don’t want to take it why should I? What would God do at this point?… Should I or shouldn't I?...

Pilate monologue

No! Why do I have to be the one to make this decision? This has to be the hardest decision I have

 

ever made in my entire life. I'm so confused.  I don't know what to do? I know the truth about

 

Jesus. I know he is innocent. I know I'll be able to forgive myself if I was responsible for putting

 

someone's life at stake, and die because of it, but I don't want the people to start a big riot. It will ruin

 

my reputation.  Everyone would find out that I'm not good enough to be in this position.  It will show

 

I have no control over the people. Man I think I'm screwed. I can't put a man's life at stake for

 

doing nothing wrong, but if I don't do what the people want, my whole reputation could be ruined.

 

Man I wish there was a way to get out of this situation.  I regret ever being in this position, so what

 

should I do now?...

Pilate before the crowd

           Those stupid idiots!... WHY! WHY!... What fools to cast death on an innocent man?!...  Who

could be so blind to kill an innocent man?!... These fools make me sick!... Now I have to pass

judgment on Him...God! Why! Why me?... Why must you put me in this situation?!...Who am I to

pass judgment on an innocent man... I'm just a simple governor... If he dies, His blood is on my

hands... Darn it!... Their shouting isn't making this any easier!.. What am I to do?!... God help me!...

If I don't act soon, I'll look weak... This time this pressure... UGH! I don't know what to do... It's

either I give him up or I'll die... Rome doesn't tolerate weak leaders... Spies will leak information than

I'll be done... God show me the light!... Something!... Please!... I need anything from you right

now!...Wait! I GOT IT!... If I give him up the blood isn't on my hands... I'm not the one holding the

knife... I don't want him dead they do... But still....

Peter's Denial

Oh no!!!... My master was right… I just denied knowing Jesus...“cock-a doodle-doo!”... Wait. Hold up… Where did that rooster come from?... That’s the rooster Jesus said would crow… He wasn’t lying... What kind of disciple am I?... Just a few hours ago I told Jesus that I’d go to death with him… Then all of a sudden I denied knowing Him… He’s done so much for me and I just threw it away with such ease!!!... Ugh!!!... What kind of person am I?... What have I done?... There must be a way to reverse this. To rewind it or something… I want a restart… I love Jesus, don’t get me wrong, but He has to understand where I’m coming from… If I didn’t deny Him, I would’ve been dead… Who would spread the message of the kingdom and get more followers?...It wouldn’t be me… I’d be dead… I have a great influence among the other disciples. Who would lead them?... With me dead it would be horrible… Yea, that explains it, I guess, but I’m still disgusted with myself… How could I have done that?... I could’ve had more courage, more guts, to stand up for Him. To be his true friend in crime when no one was here to help Him....I would’ve been the only one who stuck by Jesus’ side… The true meaning of a disciple, sticking with the master, no matter what... I blew it!!... I’m so weak…This is crazy… Why?... Why was I put in this situation and not another?... I want out!!!... This cannot be true… Most importantly, what about Jesus?... How did he know that I’d deny him?... Has Jesus lost respect for me?... I’ve probably brought great shame to Him... Will He ever feel the same about me again?... Will He punish me?... How will I redeem myself?...

Judas

Oh boy, this is my chance to impress Jesus…  Wait.  This isn’t a meeting? Why would I put my friend on trial?…  This is all my fault! How could I be so stupid…  I don’t want to be a part of this. Jesus probably doesn’t want to see me…  Or…  Maybe If I do something now he’ll forgive me…  I can’t do anything. I’m useless and weak…  I should leave... But where would I go?  And what would I do?
