The Story of Jesus (Christian drama sketch)

Narrator: And so Pilate was persuaded to hand Jesus over to be crucified (John 19:16). As Jesus hung on the cross, the religious leaders, the soldiers, and the passing crowds all stopped to mock him (Matthew 27:39-44, Mark 15:29-32, Luke 23: 35-37):

Sceptic: You saved others, why don’t you save yourself? Jesus, Liar, Trouble-Maker, Fool

Narrator: Two thieves were crucified next to Jesus (Luke 23:39-43).

(Sceptic and Believer both put arms out at same time as though hung on cross as Narrator says this line)

Narrator: One of the thieves called out:

Sceptic: Jesus, Liar, Trouble-Maker, Fool (arms out as though hung on cross)

Narrator: But the other thief said:

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (arms out as though hung on cross, look up slowly)

Narrator: And Jesus answered him: “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23: 43).

(Sceptic and Believer put arms down at same time)
