Condemnation from the High Priest Caiaphas
Then the high priest tore his
clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any
more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. What do
you think?” “He is worthy of death,” they answered. Then they
spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped
him and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”
(Matthew 26:65-68)
Caiaphas was the
one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if
one man died for the people.
(John 18:14)
Caiaphas
reasons
That one may die to save the many
And makes
small irony
Of my name
That means the one who saves
Who is
saved
In condemning me for blasphemy
Those I
healed
Those I helped
Those I will redeem?
God of hope,
Reach out to us
When one with power
Might take us wrongly,
Even in the name of goodness
and the community.
May we know that you,
the source of power,
Will always judge aright
Against the meanness of the world.
Amen. |
