Artist Commentary: "It is better that one man should die than the entire nation be destroyed," says Caiaphas. He is a master strategist, the arbiter of “lesser evils” for the sake of an apparent national religious good. He does not see that individuals and nations cannot do evil without consequences; even the most “private” or personal acts affect the human community; internal moral evils will express themselves eventually in external moral evils, because the moral order has been broken at the foundational level; “lesser evils” on the national and international scale can unleash evils of catastrophic proportions. Into this pit of darkness in men's hearts, Jesus descends, offering himself as the Lamb of Sacrifice.
