ACCEPTANCE SEQUENCE

Another Vision.

 

We see the tree where Joseph and Mary offered a dove. Now water pours from its branches. John the Baptist in the waterfall, baptising Jesus with water.
John asks: “Are you the one who is to come?” John says that he has baptised with water but Jesus will baptise with fire. The dove reappears above Jesus accompanied by a flame.


Jonah Storm

A sense of hell returns. Jonah (played by Joseph) enters shouting: ‘get me on the next boat out of here’. A boat appears, with many sailors. There’s a big tempest, thunder and lightning. Everyone turns against Jonah.
He admits it’s his fault and asks to be thrown overboard. The storm subsides, the rain stops. The temple pillars are rearranged to form the whale’s belly. Jonah is inside the whale. He reconsiders what God has asked him to do.

 

 

Temptation in the Desert

The whale-bones transpose as if they’re lying in the scorched desert. Jesus is on the rocks. Jonah tells Jesus that if he is the messiah, people will expect him to act like one. He will have to ‘turn stone into bread’. Jonah questions Jesus’ ability to fulfil this task. Jesus says he has to be like Noah and accept God’s will. Jonah laughs. Jesus walks away from Jonah.

Marriage Feast

At a Marriage Feast at Cana there is great fun and rejoicing. Jesus is out of place. At Mary’s request, he turns water into wine in front of our eyes – an image of blood. Mary recognises this. Jesus realises that there is no way back and he rejects Mary to begin his final journey towards his fate.
