He attacked the temple! Seriously! I mean wow. This is good. The Roman soldiers looked on. They remembered back to that time when we convinced one of them mooned the temple. I still remember the Bacchanalia of blood we had in hell that day!
The city was tense before Jesus did this. Now… he’s going down!

They clog his path! Asking question after question. A Pharisee brought up the Romans! They keep asking about his authority! He’s tricky no doubt, but if you get enough people worrying about their own hides, and power… oh, fear is a powerful thing!
Also I may have found a weakness in one of the disciples. He wants to do good. Hehe! :)

Excellent! Stir up that great city. Bring in the Romans. Exploit every tension, ethnic and otherwise, that you can! Bring hell itself to him!

I’ve been ratcheting up the pressure on him by the scribes and the like! I sent a whole crew in from Jerusalem to argue with him! He’s now decided that he must go to Jerusalem.
