Mary feels her heart thumping. She motions Jesus to get her water.
“Please don’t go to the Mount today,” she implores. “I’m worried.”
“Mom, my followers are expecting me.”
"You’re such a martyr, Jesus. Why don’t you let other people hang from the cross? Why do you always have to be the one that gets your hands and feet nailed?”
“Mom—Stop!” Jesus pleads, but she goes on.
“Who cares about sinners? You’re dying for people you don’t even know. Get married and make babies. Be a normal person.”
Jesus promises his mother that he won’t die.
