Sample of Script
(Elizabeth stands among a crowd, people pressing in around her.)
Elizabeth (angrily):
"Move back and give some room! I have been standing here since dawn—find your own space by the road!"
Person 1:
"How dare you even speak to honorable folk?
How does one so unclean come to associate with righteous people?"
Elizabeth:
"No different than yourself.
I am here to see the Prophet of Nazareth, Christ, the Messiah.
I know He can heal me—if He will."
Person 2:
"Elizabeth, you contaminate the area by your presence!
And how would the Nazarene heal you when all the elders have failed?"
Elizabeth:
"Because they are merely elders.
He is the Son of God."
Person 1:
"Be careful how you speak of the elders!
I cannot imagine why they have not banished you!"
Elizabeth:
"Jesus will cure my hemorrhage, heal my shame.
I know He will!"
(The crowd laughs at her.)
Person 2:
"I can see it now!
The Prophet taking time out to interact with an unclean woman!"
Elizabeth:
"You will see, just as I told you—
He will see me, and..."
(A voice interrupts.)
Person 3 (shouts):
"Jesus, the Prophet from Nazareth—
He is on His way into town!
He is nearing the gates!
He is coming! He will soon be here!"
(Jesus and His disciples enter the stage.)
Elizabeth (desperate):
"Messiah! Touch me!"
(Suddenly, Jairus and his friends rush in front of Jesus. Jairus falls at Jesus’ feet.)
Jairus:
"Rabbi! Have mercy on me and my house!
My daughter—my beloved, only daughter—
is on her bed, dying!
You must help me!
You must save her!
My property, my position in the synagogue—
all this is Yours—just do not let my child die!"
