"King of the Jews: A Story of Christ's Last Days on Earth" by W. T. Stead retells the story of Jesus Christ's final days, inspired by the Oberammergau Passion Play. Starting with Jesus cleansing the temple and riding triumphantly into Jerusalem, the author highlights his dedication to God and the people's joyous welcome. The story quickly turns to the growing opposition from religious leaders who feel threatened by Jesus's rising influence. Balancing the people's adoration with the priests' anger, the initial chapters set a tense tone for what is to come—a tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and ultimate betrayal.
