Jesus goes to the holy temple or Soloman to pray and is outraged by the sight of the money-changers conducting their business inside its walls. Overturning their stands and tables, he rebukes the chief priests for turning God’s temple into a marketplace. Convinced that Jesus must be put to death, Caiaphas and the high priests plot with Judas to bring a charge of treason against Jesus in the hope that the Romans will put him to death. Jesus eats the Passover feast with his twelve disciples before going to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. Betrayed by Judas, Jesus is charged with blasphemy by Caiaphas and is taken first to Pontius Pilate, the Roman procurator, and then to Herod Antipas, King of Judea. Neither is willing to condemn Jesus to death. Finally, at the insistence of the high priests, Pontius Pilate reluctantly agrees to have Jesus killed. The stage is now set for the final episode of Jesus’ life: his death by crucifixion and his triumphant resurrection.
