Alastair's Adversaria

CHAPTER

Jerusalem - The Crucifixion

Jesus presents his death as a foreshadowing of israel's own fate. At this point, when the 12 have largely abandoned jesus, it is the unlikely disciples, converts and figures, along with the women, that come to the foreground. In luke, chapter 23, as jesus is led out his crucifixion, simon of sirene takes up his cross and follows jesus. Notably, he is a gentile. Jesus addresses the women as daughters of jerusalem. Jerusalem, or zion, is often spoken of as a daughter in the prophets, and the city is represented by its women.
