Summary "King of the Jews: A Story of Christ's Last Days on Earth" by W. T. Stead is a narrative retelling of the final days of Jesus Christ, adapted from the Oberammergau Passion Play, likely written in the late 19th century. This work captures significant moments from Christ's life, including his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, and the betrayal by Judas. Through the lens of biblical events, the author aims to illuminate the emotional and dramatic aspects surrounding the figure of Jesus and the context of his sacrifice. The opening of the story begins with Jesus' powerful act of driving out the money changers from the temple, displaying his commitment to restoring the sanctity of God's house. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a colt, he is met with a jubilant crowd shouting "Hosanna," reflecting the hopes and expectations of the people. The narrative quickly shifts to the hostile reactions of the religious leaders who conspire against him, feeling threatened by his influence and teachings. Jesus' actions and words provoke both admiration from the crowd and ire from the priests, establishing the tension that unfolds in the lead-up to his crucifixion. This section sets the stage for the conflicts and themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and betrayal that permeate the rest of Stead's adaptation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
