This is a story depicting many events of Holy Week as seen through the eyes of Jesus, Judas, Caiaphas, Pilate, Simon of Cyrene, the centurion, and many others. It often uses Scripture to set the stage but then expands the view to encompass the sights and sounds of Jerusalem. It presents the triumphant entry into the city on Palm Sunday, the chaotic events of Jesus and the moneychangers, and then Caiaphas's desperate plot to put an end to this problem rabbi called Jesus.
The famous, the infamous, the disciple, the casual follower of Christ, the Roman soldier, and the common man are all included in the events, and each gets a chance to tell his story about what it means to him and how it affects his world.
