Act 1, Scene 12 Summary

Back with his disciples and Mary Magdalene, Jesus is trying to sleep. She reprises "Everything's Alright" and comforts Jesus until he lies down. Then she sings, "I Don't Know How to Love Him," as Jesus is sleeping on a mat on the floor. She cannot resolve her inner conflict between Jesus as God, which scares her, and just another man she can seduce. She covers him with a blanket, and is in the process of kissing Jesus on the side of his mouth when Judas enters.
