The characters in this drama:
Judas Iscariot, self important goes with the flow for his own profit
Peter's loud mouth hid a weak heart and uncertainty
Caiaphas the legalistic senior pastor who refuses to have his traditions challenged
Pontius Pilate the politician who avoids difficult decisions by trying to please everyone
The crowd like all crowds follow and do as others because they can't all be wrong, right?
I am an example of all the above.
