Click here to download the print friendly version.

Judas // Cast Props

Judas Jesus Bag of money

High Priest Peter Sword

Priest 1 People in crowd

Priest 2 High Priest’s slave

Scene 1 – In the Temple

High Priest: Think hard, guys. We’ve got to think of some way to get rid of Jesus.

Judas: Psssst !!

Priest 1: Look, it’s Judas, one of Jesus’ friends.

Judas: Not any more, I’m not. What will you give me to tell you how to get to Jesus?

Priest 2: This is a lucky break! Here are thirty silver coins, Judas. (Gives Judas the

money)

Judas: Hey, this sure beats stealing from the disciples’ money.

Scene 2 – In the Garden

(Peter and Jesus are on stage. The rest walk in, led by Judas.)

Judas: Remember, the one I go up to is Jesus.

(Judas goes up to Jesus.)

Judas: Hello Jesus. Good to see you.

(The crowd grabs Jesus.)

Peter: I’ll save you, Jesus.

(Peter pulls out a sword and cuts off the ear of the High Priest’s slave. The slave jumps

around, holding his ear.)

Jesus: Put that sword away Peter. If I wanted to get out of this, God would send me

twelve divisions of angels.

(Jesus touches the slave’s ear, healing him. The slave stops jumping around.)

High Priest: We’ve got you now, Jesus.

Scene 3 – In the Temple

(The priests are there. Judas runs in.)

Judas: You’re going to kill Jesus. I did wrong by selling Jesus out to you.

Priest 1: We are not going to worry about that. That’s your problem.

(Judas throws the money down.)

Judas: I can’t stand it. I’m going to hang myself. Does anyone have a rope I can use?

(Judas runs out.)

Priest 2: He really did hang himself. Look at him swinging in the breeze.

High Priest: Forget him. What will we do with his money? We can’t put it back in the

treasury because a man was killed for it.

Priest 1: We ought to do something worthwhile with it. Let’s buy the town dump and

use it to bury people who can’t afford a regular grave.

High Priest: That sounds good. Let’s do that.
