Testament (2002)
“I felt a panic then. But somehow I just got caught up with the crowd and before I knew it I was going up, with that sick churning in my gut again, the crowd so thick around me and the passage so dim and tight that it seemed impossible to turn and make my way back. When we came up into the square it was the same, people jammed shoulder to shoulder so that I could only follow along, trying to stay close to Jesus in the hope I’d be safe with him. I saw now there were soldiers stationed all around the top of the colonnade and outside the fence as well, the whole place seeming like kindling ready to burst into flame, the people jostling and all the shouting and flaring tempers and then the soldiers standing guard with their fists on the handles of their clubs, ready to put us down at the least sign of any disturbance.
Jesus was heading straight for the temple. There was a defiance in him, and it occurred to me he probably no more belonged on that side of the fence than I did, being a bastard.
