Coronation

Dramatic irony is used by writers hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Mark uses dramatic irony in his Gospel, telling the story of Jesus' execution. When we understand this, as the original readers would have, it gives us a new perspective on what has become known as the old, old story. It calls us to a renewed response and responsibility toward Jesus' ironic trial and crucifixion. However, it also calls for transformation in our daily perspective.
