Norton's Notes
John 12 The party. A short extract
On the stage we have
The Chief Priests...do I hear a boo???
Plotting to kill Lazarus as well (as Jesus) .. This seems rather pointless. Wouldn’t Jesus just raise him again?
Martha
Laughing, crying and passing round the food she had spent the day preparing. She’s looking for
Mary
who is “lost in wonder love and praise”
pouring oil on Jesus feet in care-less celebration of her love for the master.
Lazarus
Busy fielding lots of questions about what its like to have a near death experience!
The crowd blocking the street and annoying the neighbours, hoping for more miracles.. and a sandwich if possible
Jesus, the hero of the hour do I hear a cheer?
who has just raised Lazarus and knows that there is a plot to kill him and for him to surrender his life.
Jesus thoroughly enjoying the party that Judas did his best to destroy.
Yet he knew he would die in the coming week!!
