Character portraits of blood guilt

The podcast episode explores different character portraits of how people respond to and are involved in the death of the innocent. Judas experiences remorse and ends up committing suicide. The chief priests buy a burial plot for foreigners with the blood money, unwittingly involving others in the guilt. Pilate struggles with conflicting pressures and declares himself innocent. The crowds, misinformed and seeking national security, embrace revolt and willingly accept the guilt. Jesus silently stands as the only innocent person, showing sacrificial love for his enemies.
