Good Friday

Pilate:
Pilate, scared, washed his 
hands. 
A crackdown by Caesar 
loomed. 
Pharisees threatened. 

The Sentence:
Pharisees threatened. 
Jesus doomed; scripture 
fulfilled. 
Crowd shrieked: CRUCIFY!

Barrabas:
Pilate asked which one?
Give us Barabbas, all cried. 
Scripture playing out.
