'When Pontius Pilate asked his famous question, “What is Truth?” how could he have known that the answer stood before him, crowned in thorns? This obscure Roman Governor of an obscure Roman province, trying to tamper with Imperial Roman justice with pity, had to bow to the religious intolerance of the people which he governed—the problem was beyond him, and so he washed his hands of the matter. How could he have done otherwise? And so a cross was raised upon Golgotha, and upon it was nailed a scroll bearing the words, “King of the Jews.” This passion play endeavors in all reverence to bring to you the thoughts and emotions of some of those who were intimately connected with the trial and execution of One Who was beyond and above all earthly trials, all earthly exceptions.'
