Jesus Page #5

Without the protection

of the Father?

You know it is necessary.

The Spirit tells you, not me.

Only in this way

can we challenge each other.

I am willing.

( screaming )

Welcome to life, Jesus.

You don't look so good, Jesus.

- Are you hungry?

- Yes.

Command these stones

to become loaves of bread.

You mean call upon

my Father's power?

You have the power to

command these stones, don't you?

I am only his Son.

But you have the power!

( laughs )

And if I use it in this

way I will fail his mission.

He has asked me to bring his

word to man,

not to crush them with his power.

I'm jus tasking for bread

to relieve your hunger, Jesus.

Men have hungers.

Feed your starving people, Jesus.

Man does not live by bread alone,

but by every word that

comes from the mouth of God.

You're missing the point, Jesus.

You have the power

to solve mankind's problems.

Feed these people.

Many are starving.

- You can feed them.

- I was sent to feed them the truth.

- They hunger for bread, Jesus.

- No, they die of hunger,

because of hearts of stone of

other men, not because God wills it.

And you can change all that.

And so they are to listen to you, hmm?

A peasant from Nazareth?

You and only you have

the truth... sent from God?

Others have spoken the truth.

And men have destroyed

all of them for a thousand years.

Butyou... you, they will

listen to, hmm? Why?

They will.

And just how

will you do that, Jesus?

How will you get them

to listen to you?

So, I'm going to help you.

There is but one way

to make them notice you, Jesus.

You must convince them

that you are sent by God.

Throw yourself down and he

will command his angels to catch you.

Then they will see that

you are someone to listen to.

They would listen then,

wouldn't they?

They would listen to

someone who could do that.

That's not my Father's will.

If he wanted me simply to test

his laws, nature's laws,

he would not have sent me.

Don't test God

for your own purposes.

Jesus of Nazareth,

Jesus of Jerusalem,

Jesus of Egypt, Jesus of Bethany,

Jesus of Bethlehem.

- Where else have you been, Jesus?

- Nowhere.

No.

So, you cannot understand

the stakes!

Let me show you.

Power, Jesus, power!

Not second in command,

but number one.

You have never felt that power.

I have.

You've never been able to

until now.

Now you can be number one.

Do you know what

that means, Jesus?

No.

Power is what every man wants

more than anything else

in the world.

They kill for it.

There is nothing more precious,

and it is yours to have.

How?

Bow down to me, Jesus, just once.

In all of existence,

before and aftertime,

just once, Jesus.

It's a small price.
