Big Question, Quotes, and Characters
What is your one BIG question from this episode? (What captured your imagination most, and what would you ask God about the events portrayed?)

What quote from this episode was the most meaningful/impactful to you? Why?

Which characters stood out to you most? Which were most interesting? Most moving?

Episode Questions
1. Jesus pleaded with His Father to let the "cup of suffering" be taken away. Why do you think God the Father did not spare His Son but had Him fulfill the plan to sacrifice Himself? (Matthew 26:39-42) 

2. When Jesus called Thaddeus to follow him, Thaddeus told Jesus that he could do a lot better than choosing him. Why does this view make Thaddeus a good choice selection for Jesus?   

3. Why do you think Jesus only allows Peter, James, and John to accompany Him inside the garden? Would that have made you envious of them if you were one of the ones left outside? 

4. Atticus insists that he is ultimately loyal to no one except Mother Rome. Why can there be no doubt on our part that our loyalty is not to a nation, a party, or ethnic group, but to Jesus Christ alone?  

5. Why do you think the great scholar Nicodemus will be unable to sway the members of the Sanhedrin?  

6. Jesus was greatly distressed in the Garden of Gethsemane. What do you think was causing Jesus so much agony? (Matthew 26:36-38)

Continuing the Conversation
Is there someone you know that does not know the suffering Jesus went through for them?
