I say that they did it wrong! This image, ripped off from here shows John pouring a bit of water over Jesus' head. But why was John making people go down to Jordan? Because he was baptising by total immersion. When I played John, we did it that way.

Prompter is in full view so must be in costume. For more than one of the mob-handed plays the director allowed spectacles - probably for basic safety reasons with people having to climb steps, etc.

The Carpenters Pageant of The Resurrection - original text - modernised text.
 
Spin doctoring is nothing new. In this play Pilate and the two high priests are initially very disturbed by the tomb having been found empty. But then Pilate works out a suitable story and calm is restored.

Pilate: Harken what that ye shall say To ilka man both night and day: That ten thousand men in good array Came you until, With force of arms bore him away Against your will. Thus shall ye say in ilka land, And thereto on that same covenant A thousand pound have in your hand To your reward — And friendship, sirs, ye understand, Shall not be spared.
Thus shall the sooth be bought and sold, And treason shall for truth be told.
