Sometimes questions pop up during local discussions that lead to “chasing rabbits” that lead to fields far away.
Sometimes, they were the wrong rabbit after all.
IS THAT JESUS?
A man said to be Jesus of Nazareth stands near the open entrance of the borrowed tomb where the noted healer had been placed after being executed two days ago. Jesus’ body was missing when officials went to the scene this morning after rumors were spreading that the Nazarene carpenter had risen from the dead. {Artwork by Constantin Hansen (1804-1880)}

PRIOR TO ARREST IN GETHSEMANE
Jesus of Nazareth seems lost in prayer mere minutes before his arrest in the Gethsemane Garden outside of Jerusalem two days ago. The roaming rabbi was charged with treason and executed on Golgotha -- also called the Place of the Skull or Skull Hill -- yesterday. {Artwork by Henrik Olrik (1830-1890)}.

DEATH BY CRUCIFIXION
Friends and family mourn at the feet of Jesus of Nazareth earlier today. The sign above his head reads “King of the Jews,” a reference to the charge that the Nazarene, or his followers, sought to overthrow Roman rule and re-establish the Throne of David. {Artwork by Carl Bloch (1834-1890)

JESUS OF NAZARETH OBSERVES PASSOVER
Jesus bar-Joseph of Nazareth speaks with his closest disciples during the Passover meal earlier today. The disciple leaving the room is believed to be Judas Iscariot, who led a mob to the garden at Gethsemane later to arrest the Nazarene healer. {Artwork by Carl Bloch (1834-1890)}
TRIAL AT CAIPHAS' HOUSE
Jesus of Nazareth (back, center) is led away during his trial at Caiphas' house after sundown today (fifth day of the week).
