Amsterdam, 2024-04-14
Simeon, the 'Kephas' ('Rock'/'Peter', the high priest) of the rebellious Orthodox Jews, takes part in the attack on the house of the Roman-appointed high priest Joseph Caiaphas, where the Liberator ('Jesus') is being held captive; so he ventures into the lion's den
The word 'alektor' should not be understood as 'the cock', but as 'eklektos': 'the chosen one' (the high priest)
