Power, metamorphosis as nature of man, state of perfection, death overcoming, individual life. Body and spirituality. The utter solitude of Gethsemane, death as desperation, Judas betrayal. Eating together and Eucharist: a later reconstruction. The washing of feet: universal love, lack of hierarchy, equality. Resurrection: divinity and sanctity of Christ’s body.
