“Jesus : Is it—TIME! Is it—me? Me ? (He half pulls himself up. He begins to
babble, almost demented by hunger, thirst and his sense of divinity) Me?
Me? Time has come. Me? It is—It is me, it is me, it is me, it is me...
(He stops. He stands, swaying. Silence. Then he speaks, more slowly and
clearly) He went up into the wilderness. He went up—J went up and
spoke to . . . Make straight the way. Clear a path. The Kingdom of
Heaven is upon—ME? (Pause. Then he screams with the agony of the
thought) ME!? It—is—me-e-e!”

“Good. Not mad. Not a liar. Then what am I? Why do I stop you? Why are you frightened? Why does the blood pound in your head? Why does a hand touch your heart? Why does the lightning flash behind your eyes? Why is your throat so suddenly dry?”
