Last Temptation is a whole movie pretty close to this topic.

Does meeting John occur before or after he rides the donkey into Jerusalem?

(I used to think riding a donkey was a sign of humility, but I've recently learned that in biblical times, on state occasions, —kind of like how commoners drive Bugattis but the King rides in a carriage— commoners and lesser lords rode horses but kings rode donkeys, that having been a more archaic mode of transport. cf Absalom)
