THE BOY FROM NAZARETH
ITEMS NEEDED:
Priest costumes
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: 2M
CHARACTERS:
Hezekiah and Jonah- Priests in the temple of Jerusalem
Hezekiah and Jonah enter, walking across the stage. Jonah is giggling. Hezekiah stops.
Jonah stops.
HEZEKIAH: Will you please stop giggling?
JONAH: Im sorry, Hezekiah. I dont mean any disrespect.
HEZEKIAH: Are you sure about that?
JONAH: Im sorry. Its just
HEZEKIAH: Go ahead, lets hear it.
JONAH: Sir, you know I respect you as a man of God. No one in the temple knows the
Word of God as well as you.
HEZEKIAH: Thank you.
JONAH: But only because that kid went home.
HEZEKIAH: Jonah!
SKIT
JONAH: Well its true! That boy knew the prophets backwards and forwards. And he
understood them. Ive never heard anyone explain Isaiah like that!
HEZEKIAH: Mere speculation on the part of a clever child, nothing more.
JONAH: I dont think so.
HEZEKIAH: Are you suggesting a mere boy would make a better teacher than me?
JONAH: Well, no. But given time and education
HEZEKIAH: The way you and the others were fawning over him, I wonder what education you could give him.
JONAH: Perhaps we should invite him to study here?
HEZEKIAH: A mere commoner? Hes a carpenters son. Let him learn his fathers trade.
JONAH: But the people could learn so much from him!
HEZEKIAH: Hes just a boy, Jonah. Another five minutes, and Id have proven my superior wisdom and knowledge.
JONAH: Sir, he spoke with us for more than two hours. He was just as competent at
knowing and interpreting the scripture as any of us, including the High Priest. Theres
something special about that kid, Hezekiah. Maybe hes not a priest, but I wouldnt be
surprised if God does something great with him.
