Earlier that day two disciples came to my mothers house and said "Teacher
asks where is my guest room, Where I may eat the Passover with my friends".
I couldn't believe my ears Jesus the King of the Jews wanted to stay here
and eat in our house. We didn't have much but this is what he wanted. I was
awe inspired shocked and excited all at the same time. I couldn't wait till
the evening it was something I could be proud of and tell my friends that
Jesus are lord and savoir and the twelve disciples were to dine at my house
for the Passover a time to reflect on how Moses saved our people so many
years ago.
That night they appeared they were very serious and the man we called Jesus looked sad and worried. This puzzled me at the time but now I understand. I was hiding listening to them I was only young and not allowed to join the feast but I was not going to miss the chance to hear what was going on. After they had started eating Jesus stood up and said truly one of you will betray me who is eating with me. The disciples stared in disbelief denying that they would ever deny him surely not I they all said but Jesus said again that it is one of them as it is written in the scriptures. Then he said but woe to that one whom the son of man is betrayed it would have been better if he had never been born. I couldn't believe my ears how could he know all this he must be very powerful perhaps it really was true that the carpenter from Nazareth was the son of god. The disciples couldn't believe it they looked at him as if he had gone mad how could one of whom Jesus had chosen to spread the good news betray him that was beyond belief.
A while later after they had eaten and were sleeping an army of Chief Priests, Scribes and Elders with swords and clubs came marching into the house, I was scared what was going on I cowered further into the corner in which I hid and watched nervously as Judas came forward and kissed Jesus immediately he was arrested and dragged outside.
I couldn't believe my eyes the one who had come to save us had predicted what would happen and now it was coming true how could this be it was impossible I followed the men wearing only a linen cloth it was all I had but I felt I needed to find out more, see what they were going to do. All the disciples except Peter abandoned him obviously afraid of what would happen to them. Suddenly I felt hands grip my arms I began to panicky what was going to happen I ran away it was the only thing I could do the linen cloth slipped and ran the rest of the way home naked but I did not care I just needed to get away. I was but twelve years old I didn't want to die. I wish I'd stayed seen it through to the end but I couldn't I was scared and needed to get away.
Mother was not impressed when I got home I was shivering all over and was wearing nothing to cover myself. She had been really worried when shed not found me in bed. Shed already been shocked when they had come to arrest Jesus mother was troubled by these thoughts and the fact it had been in her house. Although she was angry she gave me a warm hug glad I was safe and tucked me into bed wishing me a goodnights sleep
