One part of the movie that I really enjoyed was the flashback Jesus had when
they were preparing the cross. It showed him in the backyard working on a
table. He was after all a carpenter. Mary came out of the house and saw
the table and did what mothers do best. She complimented him on the table
even though it wasn't the sort of table she was accustomed to. I gathered
from the dialog that tables back then were low to the ground yet this table
was a tall table. Jesus tells her it's a table built for a rich man. He
hasn't built the chairs yet. He takes his position at the table as if he
was sitting in a tall chair with no problem and Mary attempts to mimic him.
She pantomimes reaching for a glass and loses her balance, straightens up
and tells Jesus it will never catch on. Jesus laughs and they start to walk
into the house. Right before entering Mary tells Jesus to remove his dirty
apron before coming into the house. She holds a bowl of water for Jesus to
wash his hands which he does. Then he splashes the water on Mary with much
delight.

Mel Gibson told the entire story in this one little piece of artistic
license.

the table = a place prepared for us
the rich man = the saved in Christ
the chairs not yet made = the crucifixion not yet completed at this point of
the movie
the new style table = Christianity
the dirty apron and the washing of Jesus' hands = Jesus' baptism
Jesus splashing Mary with water with delight = Jesus' willingness to provide
for our salvation with delight

With delight..... We read where Jesus struggled in the garden with fear
and with what he was about to face he was justified in feeling so. The
total absence of God while being in the hands of Satan. We do not know what
transpired between Jesus and The Father when they were reunited but I
believe quite possibly with all the reverence I can muster........ they
giggled.
