...raise men from the dead?

Where do you get your power?

Are you the one

whose birth was foretold?

Answer me!

Are you a king?

How about me?

Will you work a little miracle for me?

Take this stupid fool out of my sight.

He's not guilty of a crime, he's just crazy.

Give him a fool's homage...

What is truth, Claudia?

Do you hear it,

recognize it when it is spoken?

Yes, I do.

Don't you?

How?

Can you tell me?

If you will not hear the truth,

no one can tell you.

Truth...

Do you want to know what my truth is,

Claudia?

I've been putting down rebellions

in this rotten outpost for eleven years..

If I don't condemn this man,

I know Caiphas will start a rebellion.

If I do condemn him,

then his followers may.

Either way, there will be bloodshed.

Caesar has warned me, Claudia.

Warned me twice.

He swore that the next time

the blood would be mine.

That is my truth!

Herod refuses to condemn the man.

They're bringing him back here.

We're going to need reinforcements.

I don't want to cause an uprising.

There is already an uprising.

King Herod found no cause in this man.

Neither do I.

Men! Attend to the crowd!

Quiet!

Have you no respect

for our Roman procurator?

As you know, every year

I release a criminal back to you.

We are now holding a notorious

murderer...

...Barabbas.

Which of the two men

would you have me release to you?

...the murderer Barabbas?

...or Jesus, called the Messiah?

He is not the Messiah!

He is an imposter! A blasphemer!

Free Barabbas!

Again I ask you:
which of these two men

should I release to you?

Free Barabbas!

Free him.

What would you have me do

with Jesus the Nazarene?

Have him crucified!

No!

I will chastise him...

...but then I will set him free.

See to it that the punishment is severe,

Abenader.

But don't let them kill the man.

My heart is ready, Father...

...my heart is ready.

My son...

...when, where, how...

...will you choose

to be delivered of this?

If the world hates you...

...remember that it has hated me first.

Remember also that no servant

is greater than his master.

If they persecuted me,

they will persecute you.

You must not be afraid.

The Helper will come...

...who reveals the truth about God...

...and who comes from the Father.

Stop!

Enough!

Your orders were to punish this man...

...not to scourge him to death!

Take him away.

Get going!

Get him out of here!

Your majesty...

Take care of it.

A beautiful rose bush.

Look at him... king of the worms!

Hail, wormy king!

A color fit for a king!

We're here to pay our respects.

A leader for our brotherhood!

Behold the man.

Crucify him!

Isn't this enough? Look at him!

Crucify him!
