| + | John 18:3 | ||
| + | The scene in the poem draws its imagery from the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus was betrayed. However, the entirety of John 18 focuses on the denial of Christ, by Peter and by the Jewish people, who choose a criminal over him. This is more imagery of betrayal, wherein the common people (gentile or Jew) refute truth and accept sin. | ||

| + | Luke 22:44 | ||
| + | More imagery about the betrayal of Christ, but also an inclusion of the Last Supper--a holy ritual that utilizes imagery of blood and flesh as a kind of sacrifice. | ||
