Jesus of Nazareth: Part 2: Preparing the Way
Written and produced by Joy Harington.
Last week's play was called the Prologue, because in it we tried to prepare the way for the Gospel story which follows. Only two of the Gospel writers describe the birth or childhood of Jesus. The others, St. Mark and St. John, begin their story as we do in today's play, with John the Baptist preaching to crowds by the River Jordan, and heralding the approach of one greater than himself. "The Voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." In a way, therefore, this is where the story of Jesus of Nazareth begins, a village carpenter travelling the many miles from Galilee to Judea to be baptised by his cousin John in the River Jordan. (Joy Harington)
