Opening Scene

(In the dark, the narrators are heard from their position on the hilltop raised stage.)

Amos:
Just look at the people, Doctor Luke. Sickness, injury, illness, infirmity, disease—all around us!

(Lights 50% up on top of the hill.)

Amos:
We doctors are few. How are we to heal them, meet their needs, Doctor Luke?

Luke (chuckling):
They need a touch from the Great Physician.

Amos:
The Great Physician? They call you the Great Physician, Doctor Luke.

Luke:
Me? Hardly me, young Doctor Amos.

Amos:
Then who?

Luke:
Jesus. The Christ.

Amos:
The Christ? But he is dead! What healing would be done by a dead man?

Luke:
The Christ is many things. Dead is not one of them.

Amos:
But sir, I respect you. However, the facts are that…

Luke:
Then young Doctor Amos, if you respect me, you will respect my words.

Amos:
Forgive me, Doctor Luke, but how could a man like myself—a learned man, one devoted to science and learning—bring myself to believe that a man who was crucified, dead, and buried… how could he work some healing from the grave?
I’m sorry, sir. Unless I could see this healing with my own eyes, then and only then could I believe.

Luke (chuckling):
Are you sure your name is Amos and not Thomas? But I caution you, Amos—don’t let your profound knowledge get in the way of understanding.

Amos:
I am sorry, sir. I was impertinent. Forgive me.

Luke:
You have a brilliant mind, Amos. Weigh the evidence for yourself. Let me review for you just a few examples of the healings performed by the Christ.

Amos:
But sir, how can you be sure of these things? Have you seen them with your own eyes?

Luke:
Young and doubting Amos, my friend and co-worker in healing, I ask you: of the many medical procedures in which you received instruction, how did you validate these procedures as being legitimate? Did you see the originator of that procedure as he first proved it to be reliable?

Amos:
No, no of course I didn’t. But I read reliable documents, spoke to those who had seen the procedures firsthand.

Luke:
Well said, young Amos! And so it was that I was a constant companion of Paul and a close friend and confidant of many who saw firsthand the healings that happened. And to prove all this to my own mind, I have read and researched countless documents.

Amos:
So all of the healings have been written down, recorded?

Luke (chuckling):
No, certainly not all the things which Christ did in his time on earth were recorded. For as my friend John, the disciple of Christ, said in his recounting of facts: “If every one of them were written down, surely the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.”

Amos: Then how can one honestly evaluate . . .

Luke: Please, let me give you a sampling of that which I know to be true and which I can substantiate. Firstly it is important to understand that Jesus was able to do these miracles because of the power of God which was in him.

Amos: And this power was proven in the presence of witnesses?

Luke: Many witnesses indeed. An excellent manifestation of his power came early, before the reputation of Jesus had swept the country.

lights begin to go down on top of hill, and up on main acting stage where Abraham is standing alone. This switch in lighting continues until by the time Abraham speaks he can be clearly seen and Luke and Amos are in darkness

Luke: Jesus, his disciples, his mother Mary and many of their family were invited to a wedding in Cana . . .
