The Gospel of the : Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ Second Reading 2:6-11 A Reading from the Letter ofnSaint Paul to the Philippians Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  • The Passion of Christ on Television: Intertextuality As a Mode of Storytelling
    religions Article The Passion of Christ on Television: Intertextuality as a Mode of Storytelling Stefan Gärtner Department of Practical Theology and Religious Studies, Tilburg University, P.O. Box 90153, NL-5000 LE Tilburg, The Netherlands; [email protected] Received: 2 October 2020; Accepted: 9 November 2020; Published: 13 November 2020 Abstract: The Passion is a contemporary performance of the passion of Christ live on stage, combined with pop music, city marketing, social media, and entertainment. The result is an encounter between the Christian gospel and traditional elements of devotion like a procession of the cross on the one hand, and the typical mediatization and commercialization of late modern society on the other. In this article, I will first briefly describe the phenomenon, including the different effects that the event has upon the audience and the stakeholders and benefits it has for them. It is one characteristic of The Passion that it allows for a variety of possible approaches, and this is, at the same time, part of its formula for success. Another characteristic is the configured intertextuality between the sacred biblical text and secular pop songs. In the second section, I will interpret this as a central mode of storytelling in The Passion. It can evoke traditional, but also new, interpretations of the Christian gospel. The purpose of the article is to interpret The Passion as an expression of constructive public theology. It is an example of how the gospel is brought into dialogue with secular society. Keywords: passion play; The Netherlands; public theology; intertextuality; The Passion 1. Introducing The Passion The television program The Passion is an example of public theology.

  • John 11:47-53 People of the Passion: Caiaphas, the Schemer Midweek Lenten Service #1 Ash Wednesday March 6, 2011
    John 11:47-53 People of the Passion: Caiaphas, The Schemer Midweek Lenten Service #1 Ash Wednesday March 6, 2011 Then the chief priest and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is this man performing many miraculous signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, "You know nothing at all! You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish." He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God. So from that day on they plotted to take his life. (NIV) As we begin our Lenten sermon series titled "People of the Passion" we're going to begin by looking at the person some might well argue is the greatest villain of the Passion History. But it's probably not who you think. It's not Judas, always listed last of the 12 disciples, often with an ominous explanatory note along the lines of "who betrayed him." It's not Pilate, who was everything a judge is not supposed to be. It's Caiaphas. It was Caiaphas who got this whole thing started. Without Caiaphas, Judas and Pilate would not have entered the picture.

KOESTER Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota The Gospel of John moves like a pendulum. It begins at the high point by announcing, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God” (1:1). Then the story unfolds in a downward arc, as the Word becomes flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. The first disciples receive Jesus gladly, hailing him as Rabbi, Messiah, Son of God, and King of Israel, and accompanying him to Cana’s wedding feast. But the pendulum continues to plunge downward, as the crowds become confused, skeptical, and hostile to Jesus’ claims; they charge that he is a blasphemer, try to stone him, and finally plot his execution.

  • The Sadness of Christ, Mary Basset's 1557 Translation
    1 ST. THOMAS MORE’S HISTORY OF THE PASSION. Translated from the Latin by his granddaughter, MISTRESS MARY BASSET Edited in modern spelling with an Introduction by RIGHT REV. MGR. P. E. HALLETT LONDON BURNS OATES & WASHBOURNE LTD PUBLISHERS TO THE HOLY SEE NIHIL OBSTAT: LAURENTIUS P. EMERY, M.A., Censor Deputatus. IMPRIMATUR THOMAS, Archiepiscopus Birmingamiensis. BIRMINGAMIAE, die 31a Januarii, 1941. MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN FOR BURNS OATES & WASHBOURNE LTD ​ ​ I94I 2 INTRODUCTION The History of the Passion closes the long list of works, both Latin and English, written by St. ​ ​ Thomas More. His imprisonment in the Tower lasted from April 17, 1534, to July 6, 1535, the day of his ​ ​ martyrdom. From the beginning he knew that he was never likely to regain his freedom and determined to make the best possible use of his time as a preparation for death. In all sincerity he expressed his satisfaction at obtaining so valuable a period of quiet and recollection for prayer and study. To Margaret Roper, his beloved daughter, he wrote of his appreciation of the grace of God that ‘hath also put in the king towards me that good and gracious mind, that as yet he hath taken from me nothing but my liberty, wherewith (as help me God) his grace hath done me great good by the spiritual profit that I trust I take thereby, that among all his great benefits heaped upon me so thick I reckon, upon my faith, my 1 imprisonment even the very chief.’ ​ Similarly on another occasion he said to her: ‘They that have put ​ me here ween they have done me a high displeasure.’..

  • Jesus Through the Eyes of Caiaphas and Pilate Matthew 26-27 “Then The
    Jesus through the Eyes of Caiaphas and Pilate Matthew 26-27 “Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, ‘He has blasphemed!’” “But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.” Caiaphas and Pilate. Priest and politician. Religion and politics. I think it no coincidence that, in Matthew’s Gospel, the hearing Jesus is given before the Sanhedrin (the religious council) mirrors the one-man trial he is given before Pilate, religion and politics being two sides of the coin of unbelief. In the house of Caiaphas, where the Sanhedrin has gathered, Caiaphas says to Jesus, “Have you no answer [to your accusers]? What is it that they testify against you?” Jesus is silent. Then the high priest asks him directly if he is the Messiah, the Son of God. Jesus responds, “You have said so.” Caiaphas is enraged. In the praetorium, the order is reversed. Pilate asks Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus responds, “You say so.” Then Pilate asks Jesus, “Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?” Jesus is silent. Pilate is amazed until he is afraid. To ask how Caiaphas saw Jesus is to ask how religion (our seeking God) sees revelation (God seeking us). From the standpoint of revelation, religion is a human assumption and assertion that contradicts revelation. Therefore when revelation comes to us, we do not believe. If we did, we would listen, but in religion we talk. If we did, we would let God claim us, but in religion, we grasp at God.

  • Gibson's the Passion of the Christ
    Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ: A Challenge to Catholic Teaching Philip A. Cunningham Executive Director, Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College February 25, 2004 Mel Gibson’s movie, The Passion of the Christ projects a world in which demonic powers and evil, faithless humans blow by blow and wound by wound gradually destroy the body of Jesus of Nazareth. As David Elcott has observed, the film encourages viewers to take sides in a war of good vs. evil, of belief vs. the powers of darkness. One is either a follower of Jesus or a pawn of Satan. For some this dualism seems to reach out from the screen into reactions to the movie. A viewer either praises the film or is aligned with the sinister forces that oppose it. Fans of the film pillory critics of this Hollywood production as enemies of the New Testament. The dualistic world projected by the movie is one in which forgiveness is talked about but is not always operative even on the side of the forces of light. The God to whom Jesus prays seems quite unforgiving. Bare moments after Jesus prays to his Father to forgive his ignorant crucifiers, a raven descends from the heavens to peck out the eye of the presumably ignorant crucifixion victim who has taunted Jesus. Seconds after Jesus dies, a divine teardrop from heaven triggers an earthquake that destroys the heart of the Jewish Temple. Neither scene is found in the New Testament. The increasingly severe tortures inflicted on Jesus suggest that only endless pain can put things right with God.

  • St. Thomas the Apostle in Scripture, Visions and Apocrypha
    9/23/18 ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE IN SCRIPTURE, VISIONS, AND APOCRYPHA By Hurd Baruch Our Parish’s worship space is replete with images of our patron saint, St. Thomas the Apostle. Enter the courtyard, and you are greeted by a gilded statue of him holding a carpenter’s square. Above the Tabernacle in the chapel there is a stained glass window with his two iconographic symbols—the square and a spear. If you leave the church by the door to the East, you face a large metal plaque in bas- relief showing him standing, spear in one hand and square in the other, with the outline of two hands and two feet—with a large hole in each—beside him running vertically. And if you exit through the main door in the narthex, above you is a large, stained-glass lunette window depicting the most famous episode in his life—his first encounter with the risen Christ. We probably never think how the carpenter’s square and the spear came to be associated with him—they are not to be found in Scripture—nor consider how much we really know about him, and whether there are sources of knowledge we have not tapped. This paper lays out all that is known or has been conjectured about him, from Scripture, visions and many apocryphal writings from the early centuries. I . The Facts—From the New Testament The most important fact about Thomas is the one embodied in the title ‘Apostle,’ for he was one of the Twelve chosen by Jesus—not merely to serve him in his earthly ministry, but for all time, for he told the Twelve: “Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Mt 19: 28) During Jesus’ earthly ministry, he had repeatedly set those men apart from the other disciples, for example to share with him the Last Supper.

  • The Passion Narrative — Matthew
    The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to Matthew Dramatis personæ: • Matthew: the narrator • Jesus: the president, or another • the chief priests and others: the congregation, or some other group • the Soldiers of the Governor: the congregation, or some other group • the Disciples: the congregation, or some other group • the Crowd: the congregation Some or all of the following roles may be shared: • Peter • Judas • the High Priest • a Bystander • First Servant Girl • Second Servant Girl • Two Witnesses • Pontius Pilate • Pilate’s wife • the Centurion Matthew: Hear the passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Matthew. (Matthew 26.14 – 27.end or Matthew 27.11–54) Matthew: One of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, Judas: What will you give me if I betray him to you? Matthew: They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him. On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Disciples: Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover? Matthew: Jesus said, Jesus: Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’ Matthew: So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover meal. When it was evening, he took his place with the twelve; and while they were eating, he said, Jesus: Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.

  • Celebration of Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
    N. 210328a Sunday 28.03.2021 Celebration of Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord At 10.30 this morning, the Holy Father Francis presided, at the Altar of the Cathedra in Saint Peter’s Basilica, at the solemn liturgical celebration of Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. The following is the homily delivered by Pope Francis after the proclamation of the Passion of the Lord according to Mark: Homily of the Holy Father Every year this liturgy leaves us amazed: we pass from the joy of welcoming Jesus as he enters Jerusalem to the sorrow of watching him condemned to death and then crucified. That sense of interior amazement will remain with us throughout Holy Week. Let us reflect more deeply on it. From the start, Jesus leaves us amazed. His people give him a solemn welcome, yet he enters Jerusalem on a lowly colt. His people expect a powerful liberator at Passover, yet he comes to bring the Passover to fulfilment by sacrificing himself. His people are hoping to triumph over the Romans by the sword, but Jesus comes to celebrate God’s triumph through the cross. What happened to those people who in a few days’ time went from shouting “Hosanna” to crying out “Crucify him”? What happened? They were following an idea of the Messiah rather than the Messiah. They admired Jesus, but they did not let themselves be amazed by him. Amazement is not the same as admiration. Admiration can be worldly, since it follows its own tastes and expectations. Amazement, on the other hand, remains open to others and to the newness they bring.

    John 18:1-19:42 The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ Key: N. Narrator. ✠ Jesus. O. Other single speaker. C. Crowd, or more than one speaker. N. Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kedron valley. There was a garden there, and he went into it with his disciples. Judas the traitor knew the place well, since Jesus had often met his disciples there, and he brought the cohort to this place together with a detachment of guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees, all with lanterns and torches and weapons. Knowing everything that was going to happen to him, Jesus then came forward and said, ✠ Who are you looking for? N. They answered, C. Jesus the Nazarene. N. He said, ✠ I am he. N. Now Judas the traitor was standing among them. When Jesus said, ‘I am he’, they moved back and fell to the ground. He asked them a second time, ✠ Who are you looking for? N. They said, C. Jesus the Nazarene. N. Jesus replied, ✠ I have told you that I am he. If I am the one you are looking for, let these others go. N. This was to fulfil the words he had spoken, ‘Not one of those you gave me have I lost.’ Simon Peter, who carried a sword, drew it and wounded the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter, ✠ Put your sword back in its scabbard; am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me? N.

  • Introduction to the Passion According to Matthew
    1 THE PASSION ACCORDING TO MATTHEW Introduction In this short course we will look at the account of the death & resurrection of Jesus as it is presented in Mt’s Gospel. Because we are only reading three chapters from Mt’s Gospel, I invite you to take your time & reflect carefully on what you are reading & what it means for your life today. While the section of Mt we’ll be looking at is short, it gives us a great deal to reflect on; in these three chapters Mt narrates the climactic events in Jesus’ life. The course is an introduction to the material & the sessions are designed to help you to get the most out of your reading. As in past courses, I’ll offer explanations that highlight what the Gospel means for us today. Some questions will be posted on the webpage (www.mountstreet.info) to help you to enter into the Gospel text before each session. The purpose is for you to interact with Mt’s account of Jesus’ death & resurrection. The Questions for Careful Reading of the text are intended as a tool to help you dig into the text & examine it carefully. Questions for Application will help you consider what these words mean for your life today. I will also suggest An Approach to Prayer that helps you respond to God’s Word. None of us is equipped to read the Bible without help. We read the Bible for ourselves but not by ourselves. Scripture was written to be understood & applied in the community of faith.

It also may be the most controversial Jesus Mfilm of all time. One of the major issues surrounding the film is the lingering question: Is The Passion of the Christ an anti-Semitic film? Anti- Semitism is a discriminating ideology that can procure harmful acts and dan- gerous language towards those who follow Judaism. Whether or not this film is anti-Semitic depends on how the film is viewed by its audience. Analysis of three characters in the movie, Pilate, Caiaphas, and Satan, will ultimately uncover the anti-Semitism in this film, and therefore, show that The Passion of the Christ can validly be labeled as anti-Semitic.
