BBC Passion Trailer on-line
The first trailer for The Passion (42 seconds) is now available on the BBC Passion website:
You might like to chew over this apparent inconsistency.
Lk.22.39 - Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives.
Lk.22.53 - Every day I was with you in the temple courts.
Now did the prophet do both every day? Or, did the prophet 'go out as usual' to the temple, not the Mount of Olives? If so, where was the prophet praying around the time he was arrested? When he was praying, was he 'in anguish' (22.44) or 'in the Spirit' so that 'he prayed more earnestly' something like Zechariah before him? If so, the prophet would surely have been in the sanctuary surrounded by the smoke of incense, and the place of his arrest would have been the sanctuary.
