Killing Jesus Page #2

---

and Pharisees in the synagogue.

Then you and John

would find kinship.

I must first find him.

You should.

This attack on me... it was beyond insult,

beyond threat!

Hold it to their noses.

Let them know

what I have suffered.

Put your nose to the stench

that is your people,

who hurled filth at me!

But for the brave legionnaires

who surrounded my litter,

protecting me,

I should have died

under the hail of stones.

That my wife is attacked

in your streets.

Governor...

I should level this holy city...

and cake the ruins with blood.

Governor, though some

oppose your rule...

And who are they?

You, who claim authority, do you know that?

If not, what value

are you to Rome?

Governor, my temple guards

have learned...

that the attack upon your noble

wife was led by a zealot...

Samuel of Peraea.

And why is he not

here in chains,

tortured, begging that death

relieve his agony?

Why?

He and his followers have fled

to the wilds of Galilee.

Your place of rule.

I'll offer rewards.

He'll be betrayed.

Easily found.

Found and killed.

Along with all of his followers.

Killed by you.

By me?

Do I sense hesitation?

Do I tell the emperor our enemies

find sanctum in your realm?

No.

I'll find him, kill him.

Hacked to shreds.

All of them.

Governor, we share

your fully justified fury.

The enemies of order,

the enemies of us all.

Then prove it.

The bodies of those who disrespected

my wife and my office here...

that I may see them, and soon.

Who were those people?

They're zealots.

Rather than submit,

they cut their own throats.

Hear, O Israel,

the Lord is our God.

May the Lord bless you

and guide you.

May the Lord make his face

shed light upon you...

and be gracious unto you.

With these waters,

cleanse your soul.

- Hosanna! Hosanna!

- Hosanna!

May the Lord bless you

and give you grace.

Let these waters clean away,

wash away her sins.

Hosanna! Hosanna!

- Hosanna!

- May the Lord shine light upon her.

A new dawn is here.

Come. Do not be afraid.

Your new birth awaits.

Come to me.

May our God shine bright

upon your eyes.

Let this water

cleanse your soul.

Are you ready, my son?

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Hosanna!

Welcome.

You are ready for a new dawn.

Jesus.

Listen, everyone. Here is the Lamb of God

who will shine a light on all of you!

Here is the one who will wash

away sin from the world.

Jesus! Jesus!

Cousin.

How could you know me?

How could I not?

My cousin Jesus, it is you.

All this time, I've known of the prophecy,

and now it's come true.

Come.

Hosanna!

People!

The new light is here!

How are you so certain that

what you believe of me is true?

Cousin, in the desert I found
