In the year 789 after the foundation of
Rome, during the reign of Tiberius Caesar

The Roman Empire
stretches unto Palestine.

The province of GaliIee is
governed by the tetrarch Herod Antipas,

son of Herod the Great.

That of Judea by the Roman
prefect Pontius Pilate.

The people of IsraeI
are no longer free.

But the Holy City, Jerusalem,

retains all its
splendor and all its prestige.

It looks forward to
the Easter celebrations,

hundreds of thousands of pilgrims
rush from all parts of the country

The Temple, recently
rebuilt, flaunts under the sun

the solemn majesty of its cloisters,

of arcades, its
columns, its marble facades,

its golden roofs.

In one of its associated buildings is
the meeting place of the Sanhedrin,

the senate of the Jewish nation...

involving priests, intellectuals,
scribes,

noblemen, or princes of the people...

It is headed by the
Great Priest Caiaphas.

It assembled on the ninth
day of the month of Nissam

that the Christian centuries
will call Palm Sunday.

We outlawed him, do we
need to discuss more?

This man does not do any harm, his
doctrine is the doctrine of love.

But it is false! And because
of him GaliIee is in turmoiI.

I told you he is a black magician.

They say he performed miracles.

He raised Lazarus of
Bethany from the dead, you heard it.

We are the keepers of the law.

We want respect.

We must keep the people from believing
in him, before it's too late.

The people want to make him King.

This must have an end.

The crowd follows him and
has come to Jerusalem.

We must not wait, woe
to those who hesitate!

He will not dare to enter the city.

He is laughing at us, and
the crowd is behind him.

Come, let us proclaim him King

Let us go to the meeting.

This is a great day for IsraeI.

What's happening?

What happening? What's going on?

Jesus of Nazareth is coming!

He spent last night in Bethany.

He is on the way, hurry,
or we will miss him.

It's the King of IsraeI!

The King? What King?

Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus of Nazareth? Who is that?

Jesus of Nazareth is the
Messiah foretold by the prophets.

He resurrects the dead, gives
eyesight to the blind.

He commands the winds, the storms.

This way, we want to see the King,

he healed, he will heaI again

HeaI me! HeaI me!

Come, rejoice in his triumph.

We are the first.

I believe in the Messiah!

Is that a riot? Just wait for
the counciI to intervene.

Jesus of Nazareth has more
power than the Sanhedrin.

Look how afraid they are.

Jesus of Nazareth has more
power than the Sanhedrin.

There he is!

Accursed be these people!

He is here.

I told you so, now it is too late.

We must arrest him.

With all this crowd around
him? With these GaliIeans unleashed?

We can't wait any longer

They want to make him King!

King? I wonder what Rome will do now.

They will use it as a pretext to
take away our remaining freedom.

Pilate will have to decide.

Calm down.

Prepare the cohort to intervene.

The crowd likes this prophet.

But I was told he is not dangerous.

We'll see.

There may be riots.

That will be an excellent
opportunity to intervene...

and finally get rid of
Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin rabble.

And then we will the masters.

It's true that he is the
Messiah foretold by the prophets.

What prophets?

The prophets inspired by Jehovah.

Ah, what do they say?

That the Messiah will come, and
do justice according to the truth.

He will heaI the sick,
resurrect the dead.

How clever you are!

But he will be despised, will
be put to death as a criminaI.

He already entered the main gate!

Behold, he is the King!

And 'the son of God!

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Son of David.

- Blessed be the King of IsraeI!
- Hosanna!

Blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord!

Hosanna!

You apostles must have reason to
believe in him, with all that triumph.

He calls them his friends.

And you, Peter, will have
the keys to the kingdom.

He said: You will have
life a hundredfold.

How happy must be the
mother of such a son.

What is he doing?

I don't understand

This would be the perfect
moment to proclaim his Kingdom.

All are ready to proclaim
him King Why does he not dare?

He should celebrate his
triumph but he talks about death.

And his resurrection.
- Ah, the resurrection...

This GaliIean is deluded.

He will end up on a
cross on the edge of a road.

And those who are with
him will pay dearly.

Have you seen this, what a triumph!

I didn't think that they
would be allowed to enter.

I recognize you, I saw you in
Bethany with Jesus of Nazareth.

Do you really believe
that he is the Messiah?

In your place I would
stay away from this story.

Nation will rise against
nation, kingdom against kingdom.

There will be earthquakes, famines,

and this will be only the
beginning of the ordeaI.

But take care of yourself, they
will drag you unto their councils.

They will scourge you
in their synagogues.

They will take you before
the magistrates for my sake.

To bear witness of me.

Changing staters, anyone?

I only take a sixth for a dinar.

He is not a king, he
is just a babbler.

Babblers don't scare me.

The crowd is fickle.

Now they cheer him, tomorrow
they stone him.

You have to disgrace
him in the eyes of all.

Yesterday you thought that his
popularity was over, didn't you?

Look,how the crowd gathers
around him and how they listen.

disappointed the people, and
today they are there again

- What is this?
- What is happening?

What is he doing?

My temple should be
a house of prayer.

And you have made
it a den of thieves.

This is a provocation!

We will take care of him soon.

He commands, he expels
the money changers...

I have payed for my
space, it was very expensive

The mob took advantage of the
turmoiI and stole my cages.

I demand justice, arrest this man.

My sheep have fled, I'm ruined.

He called us snakes.

A brood of vipers.

He cried out: Woe unto
you, scribes and Pharisees!

Shall we go and ask him, if we
should pay taxes to Caesar?

But why? He will not
admit what he really thinks.

Go and ask him, if we have
to pay the tax to Caesar

In front of the whole crowd
- if he says no, it is an act of disobedience to Rome.

Then we can denounce him to
Pilate and we'll be rid of him.

If his answer is yes, the people
will regard him as a friend of Rome

and an enemy of Jewish liberty.

Give me a coin.

Whose image do you see?
And what inscription?

Caesar's!

Render therefore unto Caesar that which
is Caesar's and to God what is God's

Nothing to do, he does
not buy the trickery.

We have to take him by force.

Force? But he knows
how to perform magic.

They say that he raised
the daughter of a widow.

He seems to have strange powers

Who knows what he will do
to us, if we confront him.

And if someone
could hand him over to us?

I know someone, he
belongs to his band.

An engraver named Judas Iscariot.

He has regrets having followed him, because
hoped for a important position

in his fabulous kingdom. Now he's
afraid of being compromised...

I want to see this man.

What I say is in your best interest.

I like you, you are worth
more than the other disciples,

fishermen, farmers, people from
nothing, but you are compromised now...

You're smart, you cannot expect anything
more from this adventure.

If you want to facilitate our work
and if you are short of money, come!

Sell??what you have
and give it to the poor.

Then come and follow me.

My kingdom is not of this world.

Love your enemies, do
good to those who hate you.

If you want to follow
me take up your cross.

- Hosanna to the Son of David.
- Hosanna!

- Hosanna to the King of IsraeI!
- Hosanna!

They will spit upon me, scourge
me, put me to death

When I will be raised upon the
cross I will draw everything upon me.

They will persecute you for my sake.

"You are compromised
now, think about it!"

"You cannot expect anything
more from this adventure. "

Yes, I'll deliver him.

Are you sure? Nothing
to fear from him?

No.

No miracle?

But no.

How much?

How much will you give me?

I left my profession for
him, I have left everything.

I was an engraver,
now I have nothing.

For thirty pieces of silver you'll
be our slave. That is the price.

Do you accept?

You will have 30 pieces.

30 pieces...

Everything is ready. The Master is
already there with his disciples.

He knew that a friend would
host them for the Easter meaI.

I have earnestly desired to
eat this Passover with you

before leaving.

I tell you, I will eat no more untiI
the kingdom of God is accomplished.

Verily, I say...

...One of you will betray me.

- What?
- That's impossible, O Lord!

What did the Lord say?

- We all love him, he knows it.
- How can we betray him?

Who is it, O Lord?

He with whom I will
share this piece of bread.

What you have to do, do it now.

Even if all fall away
from you, I never will.

Verily, I tell you Peter...

this very night, before the rooster
crows, you will disown me three times.

Even if I have to die with
you, I will never disown you.

- We will never abandon you.
- Even if it costs our lives.

Never, Master.

He will soon be in
Gethsemane, he will spend the night there,

as he previously has done.

Is he dangerous?

Not at all, he seems
worried. He only speaks of death.

Okay, wait here.

Take it.

Wait in the lobby.

It's done.

Well, aren't we going to arrest him?

Arrest? We can not imprison
him during the holidays.

The GaliIeans are behind him.

If we arrest him, we must
judge and execute him immediately.

Just summon the Sanhedrin.

Yes, but Pilate...

Only Rome has the right to
death. What authority do we have?

Pilate certainly will not object.

You have to explain to
him. Go and tell him.

He who is guilty of disorder
and of causing sedition,

shall be beheaded or
crucified or deported to an island,

according to the dignity of his
rank. It's the text of the law.

We just ask you to
act according to this law.

If he is dangerous, we
will get rid of him.

I will arrest him, and bring him to
you tomorrow, in the first hour.

All right.

- Will you apply the sentence?
- Yes, yes.

Take some soldiers, so there
will be no troubles during the arrest.

They are under your order.

Father, if it is
possible, let this cup pass me by.

Nevertheless, thy will
be done, and not mine.

Peter.

Are you sleeping?

Could you not keep watch
with me for just an hour?

Quickly, let's go!

The prefect will send the
guards, we will meet them there.

All right.

The prophet upsets them.

It is not for the state they are
trembling, but for themselves.

They're afraid of
losing their positions.

If this man is really the
Messiah, he will drive them out,

just as he drove the
merchants out of the Temple.

And you, as Caesar's representative

are just helping these greedy
rogues to play their game

You have promised to
apply the sentence.

They want him to be put to death.

But why do you care
about this GaliIean?

When the crowd
cheered you were laughing.

I did not know him then; but
now I was told about him.

He healed the sick, has
resurrected the dead.

He is a saint!

You have all the power
of Rome in your hands.

You who come from the people and are
Prefect of Judea, you have all the authority.

Caiaphas is your subordinate.

His is just the power that
is sold again every year.

Don't get fooled like a schoolboy.

Get up, let us go!

The hour has come. He who
will betray me, is near

Take him, whom I will embrace

HaiI to thee, Master!

Must you betray me with a kiss?

Whom do you seek?

Jesus of Nazareth.

I am him.

But whom do you seek?

Jesus of Nazareth.

I've already said it, I am him.

Quick, quick!

The rope, tie him up!

If it is me you're looking
for, then let the others go.

There.

It is done, I have
the promise of Pilate.

Soon everything will be finished.

The Nazarene has been taken to Annas.

He is waiting for us.

So, you do perform miracles?

You take us for children, huh?

Have you risen against the law?

Speak!

Do you have nothing to say?

Let him enter.

Aren't you one of those who
were with the man they took?

Me? I don't know him.

Me?

I'm sure, you were with
the GaliIean. I saw you.

I tell you I do not know him.

Let's go.

What do you want from me?

You are a GaliIean, I
can tell from your accent.

But no, I don't know what you mean.

You were the one who cut Malchus'
ear in Gethsemane.

No!

No! I swear I do not know that man.

Untie him.

Silence!

Silence everybody!

They told me that you
preach a new doctrine.

How about that?

To those who follow you,

what do you teach?

I have always spoken clearly to the
world. Ask those who have heard me.

Is this how you
answer the High Priest?

If I have spoken
wrongly, testify of the wrong;

but if rightly, why do you strike me?

Silence!

Where are the witnesses?

Silence!

You first.

I have heard you.

He said...

What did Jesus say?

That he would destroy the
Temple. Yes, I have heard that.

And then...

That he would build... another one.

- Another one?
- Yes, another Temple.

Within three days, he said.

Did he say he would
destroy the Temple himself?

No, no, he said: Destroy
this Temple built by men.

And I'll make it anew in three days.

This is blasphemy. The Temple
is the house of the Lord.

Threatening the Temple
means to threaten God!

Why do you not respond to
what they say against you?

Answer!

I ask you by the living God, are
you Christ, the Son of God?

If I told you, you
would not believe me.

So you are the
Christ, the Son of God?

You have said it, I am.

Blasphemer!

There is no need of more witnesses.

Have you heard his blasphemy?
- Yes, yes!

He deserves death!

Silence, the High Priest has arrived.

Death.
- Death!

- Quick, bring him to Pilate.
- Not right away, wait.

Take care of him.
He will pay for that.

Oh Prophet, who was it, who hit you?

You are no longer among
your silly GaliIeans here.

You must get used to Jerusalem.

You know what happens
to the prophets.

When they are wrong they get killed.

Here... fine.

Just make it quick, will you?

It's really cold.

Soon all will be finished.

How stupid! I am
risking to catch a cold

just because it's Easter

and they need their "purity"!

That's the big
difference between Romans and Jews.

We are pure allright.

So, what has this man done wrong?

If he were not a criminaI, we
would not have brought him to you.

Well, so take him

and judge him according to your law.

But we do not have the
right to condemn to death.

What is he accused of?

He has not only violated
our law, but yours.

- He is stirring the people to revolt.
- He has proclaimed himself Messiah.

He prohibits the payment
of tribute to Caesar.

That should suffice.

I don't understand,
he promised to me...

Are you the King of the Jews?

My kingdom is not of this Earth.

But yet you are a King?

You have said it, I am a King

And I came into the
world, to testify to the truth.

What is truth?

- Pilate is mocking us.
- What about his promise of last night?

Time runs out, a
different crowd will come.

The square is not large, we
can fill it with our own people.

Yes, we summon our friends, and
all those working in the Temple.

I questioned him, I
find no guilt in him.

I will testify against this man!

- He incites revolt.
- He stirs up the people.

He prohibits to pay taxes.

Defend yourself. Don't you
understand the gravity of the accusation?

I confirm that this
man has incited GaliIee.

And now he is inciting Judea.

You speak of GaliIee? Is
this where he was born?

He is from Nazareth in GaliIee.

Then he is Herod's
subject. He is in town for Easter.

Bring him to the Tetrarch.

- Oh, it's a comedy.
- Why bring him to Herod?

- Herod has no jurisdiction here.
- Pilate wants to buy time.

Follow my instructions

You say that it is
by order of Caiaphas.

Call on me later.

Do not worry, the
Great Priest will pay

It is by order of Caiaphas, and
there is something to gain as well.

Come with me, bring your
friends, we will pay them all.

Caiaphas said that one must die so
that all the others can be saved.

Oh, come on. There
is to gain something.

I can not
understand this change of mood.

Last night, he promised
me to ratify the judgment,

and this morning... it is incredible.

Talk to him then of Tiberius.

The Romans who want intimidate
us are themselves afraid of Caesar.

Pilate wants to keep his
position, and has no desire for exile.

Talk to him about Tiberius.

I saw this GaliIean...

The judge sentenced him...

and then it was immediately night,

there were ruins,

and death...

He must not be condemned!

We must warn the prosecutor.

Give me my tablet and stiletto.

Apparently they have
taken him to Herod.

He claims to be the Messiah!

The son of God! The King of the Jews!

Enough. Your accusations are not...

But he said... I said enough!

Bring this prophet.

Pilate probably sends
him to me to oblige me...

It would be an
pportunity to reconcile...

It is said that this prophet
looks like John the Baptist...

Even that he is John the Baptist
himself, raised from the dead...

I believed that as well for a moment.

But this man, he never attacked me.

But he called you a fox!

That's not an insult!

You'll see! He said: "Tell that
fox that I cast out demons...

and heaI the sick. "

Well, he shall do it, then.

The Sanhedrin accuses you...

You are making troubles.

I've killed people for that before.

Don't bother to answer...

I don't think you are a criminaI.

This man says he is the son of David.

And in GaliIee...

GaliIee, GaliIee... leave that to me.

Come closer.

Come!

I have been wanting to
meet you for a long time.

Why did you call me "fox", eh?

Come closer.

Is it true that you perform miracles?

He raised the dead.

Is it true?

You have strange powers?

Don't be afraid, you're
among friends here.

And no modesty,
please. Show us a miracle.

HeaI my son!

No, make the deviI appear!

It's a good
opportunity to show your power.

HeaI the son of my housekeeper.

Or make Beelzebub appear.

You who drive out demons must
know how to invoke them.

- He despises you, he is a rebeI.
- Shut up!

Come on, prove them wrong.

A miracle. If you are the
great miracle worker...

prove it to us!

Make him turn your
scepter into a serpent!

Here you go.

One.

Two.

Three.

Definitely there is
nothing to expect from you.

Your reputation is botched.

Try to disappear before our
eyes, then you'll be free.

So this is the dangerous agitator,

The destroyer of the public
authorities, the terror of Caiaphas,

The fear of the Sanhedrin, nothing
but a wretched dreamer!

Let him proclaim himself
King, I won't be jealous.

In a few days nobody will
talk about him anymore.

Now go, I've had enough.

King of the Jews, your mantle.

Dress him up.

Back to prefect with him.

He did not resist his arrest.

Yes, and they will condemn him.

How shall we get back to GaliIee?

He promised us the kingdom.

Yes, that's what we hoped for.

Herod as well did not
find any crime in this man.

He has done nothing to deserve death.

I will have him scourged and
then I will let him go free.

Death to him!

Crucify him!

But what did he do wrong?

Crucify him!

This is a just man. Let
come nothing between him and you.

I had painfuI dreams because
of him last night.

It is a custom that I pardon
an offender each Easter.

We have here a bandit named Barabbas.

Whom do you want me to pardon?

Barabbas, or Jesus who
is called the Christ?

- Barabbas!
- Barabbas!

Death to him!

To the cross! Let him be crucified!

Listen to me!

Scourge him.

- I cried out well, eh?
- Here.

- Me too.
- Here.

I have sinned by
betraying innocent blood.

Stronger! Do not slow down.

You still want to proclaim
him King of the Jews?

See? The King of the Jews!

HaiI the King of the Jews!

Bow down to the King!

Long live the King!

He needs his mantle!

And his crown!

And the scepter!

You promised me not to condemn him.

Just to please you and save
him I can not risk exile.

Exile?

They accuse me of opposing Tiberius.

Why are you
afraid? You are the master.

And then you promised me...

Listen, I won't take the responsibility
for the sentence.

Not ever.

- The Prophet!
- The Messiah!

HaiI, Messiah!

HaiI to the King of the Jews.

Look at the King!

He is crowned.

Ecce homo!

Crucify him!

It is you who judge
him, to me he is innocent.

If you free him, you betray Caesar.

We demand respect for the law.

Anyone who proclaims himself
King rebels against Caesar.

Do not force us to
intervene with Tiberius.

To the cross with him!

You condemn your King?

We have no king but Caesar.

I am innocent of this
righteous man's blood.

See to it yourselves.

His blood shall be on
us and on our children.

Yes! Yes!

The tablet.

Write: Jesus of Nazareth,
King of the Jews.

Don't write that he is
the King of the Jews.

Write that he just said he
was the King of the Jews.

What I have written, I have written.

You will be going to the cross.

The people don't
like the inscription.

That's what I wanted.

Now, put to the cross this
Dismas... and that other bandit...

They shall escort
the King of the Jews.

They are crucifying
Jesus of Nazareth!

Jesus of Nazareth? Why,
what eviI has he done?

He gave me back my eyesight.

Ah! Ah! Jesus of
Nazareth. King of the Jews!

Master! HeaI me, heaI me.

Make me see again.

Make me walk again.

Carry his cross untiI the end.
- It is the law!

- Smash his face.
- Simulator.

Now that's our King

Up, up, false Messiah.

You, take up the cross and follow us.

No, it's up to him to take it.

My son!

Daughters of Jerusalem,
do not weep for me.

Weep for yourselves
and for your children.

The people are all behind us.

She is the mother of Jesus

Father!

Forgive them for they
know not what they do.

Woman, behold your son.

Son, behold your mother.

- You, who have saved the others.
- Now it's time for a miracle.

If you are the King of the
IsraeI, come down from the cross.

Oh, he will descend
from the cross today.

Afew women and a
peasant, that is all that is left.

His mother.

The story is over.

Jesus remember me, when
you come into your kingdom.

Verily, I say...

...Today you will be
with me in Paradise.

Father!

Into your hands I command my spirit.

Truly, this man was the son of God

The veiI is torn.

God is leaving our Temple.

And if it was really the
Messiah that we crucified?

Joseph of Arimathea
asked for the body.

He offers his own
new tomb to bury him.

Let's keep an eye on the disciples.

They would be capable to steaI
the body and say he is resurrected.

We will put a seaI on the
stone and ask Pilate for soldiers.

They are afraid he will disappear.

It seems that he said he
will be resurrected in three days.

The one you are
looking for is not here.

He is resurrected.

Go, tell his disciples and Peter
that all happened as he promised.

Confess, were you asleep?

And his disciples? His friends?

They came at night and entered
the tomb, didn't they?

But we were awake.

And what happened the?

As we have said, the
stone moved all by itself.

A dazzling light, a thunderclap.

They came to steaI
the body at night...

and you were
sleeping, is that understood?

They came to steaI the body at night.

It's Cleophas and led, open up.

- We come from Hebron.
- Open up.

- The Lord appeared to Peter.
- To us as well!

We arrived early at
Emmaus, when someone appeared

whom we didn't hear approaching.

What are you two talking about?

You must be the only one in Jerusalem

who does not know yet what happened.

The crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.

As night fell, he
stayed to eat with us.

He looked into our eyes, and
then and we recognized him.

Peace be with you.

Why are you upset?

Look, it's me.

I'll stay down here a little longer.

We will meet again in GaliIee.

Hey, come help us.

Simon, son of John, do you love Me?

Lord, you know that I love you.

Feed my sheep.

Simon, son of John, do you
love me more than these?

But Lord, you know that I love you.

Feed my sheep.

Simon, son of John, do
you really love me?

Lord, you know
everything. You know that I love you.

Feed my sheep.

Go, teach all nations...

...I am with you all
days untiI the end of time.
