Another Vision. |
We see the tree where Joseph and Mary offered a dove. Now water pours
from its branches. John the Baptist in the waterfall, baptising Jesus
with water.

A sense of hell returns. Jonah (played by Joseph) enters shouting: ‘get
me on the next boat out of here’. A boat appears, with many sailors.
There’s a big tempest, thunder and lightning. Everyone turns against
Jonah.

Temptation in the Desert |
The whale-bones transpose as if they’re lying in the scorched desert. Jesus is on the rocks. Jonah tells Jesus that if he is the messiah, people will expect him to act like one. He will have to ‘turn stone into bread’. Jonah questions Jesus’ ability to fulfil this task. Jesus says he has to be like Noah and accept God’s will. Jonah laughs. Jesus walks away from Jonah. |
|
Marriage Feast |
At a Marriage Feast at Cana there is great fun and rejoicing. Jesus is out of place. At Mary’s request, he turns water into wine in front of our eyes – an image of blood. Mary recognises this. Jesus realises that there is no way back and he rejects Mary to begin his final journey towards his fate. |
