EXT - THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN RIVER - DAY

A lavish banquet is laid out along the bank. There are tables, tents, a grand assortment of decorations, and lots of food. People are milling around, conversing eating, etc. The atmosphere is festive.

John is standing with Murray, surveying the elaborate surroundings.

JOHN

I don’t know about this. It all seems so improper. So brazen.

MURRAY

A little festivity is nothing to be ashamed of.

JOHN

You’ve turned my preaching into a public spectacle.

MURRAY

Everybody will love it. Don’t worry.
