The Messiah (sample pages)
art by Przemysław Durlik
(hoping to turn this to full graphic novel)
Above: scene just after whipping, before the crown of thorns was placed on Jesus' head.
Text is still in polish, although I want this story to be available in polish and english.
The soldier says to Jesus about the plans Pilat had for him, to replace Herod with Jesus, to wipe out the Sanhedrin etc. In this story Pilat wanted to use Jesus, popular among simple people to control the Judea. Specially that Jesus said to pay taxes to Romans ("Give God what belongs to God, and give Cesar what belongs to Cesar"). This is not classic Bible story. I want to give it more historical, political and theological background - but still I want it to be true to the Bible so no part of it can be contradiction to the Holy Scripture.
Last page (if this will ever turn to be full graphic novel) - Jesus last commandments, just before his ascension to Heaven.
