Lucius!... Thay way with your men! The rest of you with me!

Sarah

The Romqans! The Romans are coming!

Stay calm!

We don't need to be afraid! What do we do, Judas?

Get out of the way! Go back to your homes! All of you!

There he is!... It's him!...

Wait!... We don't need to fear the Romans!...

The Mesiah is with us!...

The Mesiah is here! Hear me!

Yes! He's our king! The King of Jews!

He's our Lord!

Make way! It's him we want!... No harm will come to you!

Go away! Take my life!

you won't take the Messiah!

Back off!

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Jesus!

Hosanna! Jesus!

Jesus!

- It was an error, Veturius.... - a stupid mistake!...

In the future I will tolerate no more of your personal initiatives!

Is that clear!?

Pilate, we can't tolerate their proclaiming him king!

Rome decides who is king of this land!

This Jesus of their is a danger to Ceasar.

His followers are claiming he is Messiah,,,,

the leader who will free.... Israel!

I know what a messiah is!

I've seen four of them since I've been here!

But I've heard that none of them ever drew such a big Crowd...

Hold your tongue!...

You haven't been here long enough to question my judgement!

In no way... did I intended to offend the Procurator

We must be patient....

We'll catch him when he's less Popular.

Keep your eyes and ears open.

At your orders!

Open the door!

- open the door! - Go see who it is!

What do you want!? What do you want from me!?

Where is your son!

I... I don't know where my son Judas is!

I haven't heard from him since he took off with that fool from

Nazareth three years ago!

I even distinherited him! My only son!

My son is dead as far as I'm concerned!

Look at what he's done to this family!?

My wife is a very sick woman!

He's not here, I tell you!

We know that. This house has been watched for days.

Then why have you come ?

Oh!

It comes from Tyrth.... I believe....

Oh, yes, eh... Let me offer it to you, if you like.

We came here for you to deliver a message to

every merchant in Jerusalem.

None of you is to help the Nazarene and his group.

No help whatsoever!

- You will deliver the message? - Of course!

come out!

Quickly! Quickly! Close the door!

Peter! ... John!

It's as we thought!

The Romans are searching for us everywhere!

They've even been to Judas' family's house!... We watched them!

I'm sorry to hear that, Judas.

It was to be expected.

Let's wake the Master!

No... let him rest. This house is safe for us tonight.

Let's get out of Jerusalem, while there's still time!

John, Jesus is going to free Israel...

How many times has he promised us that? But the Romans!

The people are with us. you can see it for yourself!

One more effort on our part... and we will have reward at last!

Judas is right... All we need is courage!

If the Messiah is with us... no one in the world is safer than we are!

The Kingdom is coming...

Now get some rest.

Try to have more faith, John.

It's been so long... Three years...

Just let me look at you Three years...

and it's been so hard... It's been so hard

- I feared!... I feared I'd never see you again. - Why? Why? Why?... Why?

I want to marry you, Sarah.

Don't worry... it's for me... it's for me.

Greetings, Judas.

- Jesta.. - I was posted outside to make sure you were'nt followed.

Is that the only reason you're here?

- No... of course not. - What then?

Your master.. has shown that he can bewitch the Masses

The reception he received here was... was truly impressive...

If you were to join us, we could defeat the Romans.

You know that we reject violence.

Every man will do his part!... We with arms... you without them!

That cannot be! And why is that?

You're afraid? No.

God is with Jesus

with all his might...

All Jesus has to do is raise his hand.

and the lord will show himself.

...Jesus

he is the Son of God!

I've seen him perform miracles,...

walk on water...

raise the dead...

Is that so?

Lazarus of Bethany was in his tomb for three days and Jesus raised him

Oh!

You must have heard about it.

Of course I did!

I must say.. you put on quite a show!

My compliments! It paved your way to Jerusalem!

Stop it! Stop it!

Jesta... I have to ask you to go!

Do you think my master is a liar too?

No... and whateve I think

it has never stopped me from loving you.

What is it?

Did you hear about my brother?

Disma? Tell me.

They caught him... they cindemned him... He will be crudified.

No.

Disma?

He has always loved you. Maybe there's a way to free him.

- How? What can I do for him? - You know the custom at Passover.

The Roman Proculator spares the life of one of the prisoners to be killed.

..He chooses from a list he is given

There's an officer... one of Pilate's trusted men

For money... he could I give him Disma's name.

But we don't have money now...

We need thirty pieces of silver.

Thirty?

I know it's a lot.

and I have no idea how to find it.

Who keeps the money for your group?

I do.

Don't look at me like that, Sarah...

I'd do it for you if I could... believe me.

The Master trusts me.

...No, Sarah... No, I can't.

I can't betray Jesus.

Forgive me.

hosanna! Hosanna!

The Romans seem to have vanished.

They're afraid... that's all

Don't underestimate them... Remember they've conquered the world.

So, you would be the Messiah...

Why don't you show us a sign from heaven?

Why don't you perform a little miracle for us?

Be careful, Master... He's a snake.

He's one of the more powerful members of Sanhedrin.

He's a pawn in the hands of the Romans.

- Jesus!... We pay our taxes to Rome. - Are you suggesting we stop paying them?

If Jesus say no, he'll turn the crowd against him.

If Jesus say yes, it will give Romans another reason to eliminate him.

Show me the money you pay the tax with.

Who's portrait is this?

Ceasar's portrait!

Then I say, pay Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar.

and to God... what belongs to God.

Jesus!... The people love you! It's time to act!

We could march on the Roman fortress!

No Judas... it is not a time to rejoice... but to pray.

The Nazarene has a plan

He's getting more and more dangerous every day!

Dangerous? He doesn't seem dangerous to me!

He preaches openly before us all!

And what harm is there in that if he speaks wisely?...

Or do you speak out of envy, perhaps, Otoniel?

They tell me... that he claims to be the Son of God!

That is blasphemy!

If he is doing harm, we must prove it... If he is doing Good, we have nothing to fear from him.

If one of you wants to be the first... he must be the last, the servant of the rest,

If yopu become as pure as this child, you will enter the kingdom of Heaven.

If you become as small as he, you will be greater.

- I will join you later.- - Where are you going?

I have to see my father... It's very important for us...

- Don't you recognize me? - Yes , you are Judas, my master's son!

- I have to talk with my father. - He's right over there.

- Father! - Judas! What are you doing here?

What do you want? I thought I told you I never wanted to see you again!

But I'm very happy to be here with you!

The Romans visited us!... They terrorized us on account of you!

I know. they are on the alert now. they are afraid of my master..

Jerusalem hailed him as their king.

I tell you, father. if you could bring the merchants over to our side,

I would put you in a very good position! When Jesus becomes king.

Why shoud the Romans want to appoint a new king now? They've refused to name one for years!

Rome knows... that a king who brings peace is to their advantage...

Jesus will bring that peace.

I see.

Trust me. trust me.

finally, you'll be proudly of you son.

I thought you were mad, when you took off to follow him.

Maybe I was mistaken.

maybe I was unfair to you, my son.

- We shall see.- - Trust me

I could see to it that you have our supprt. as long as your friend Jesus proceeds with necessary degree of caution.

Thank you. father.

My son!

Your mother's not well.

She hasn't been well ever since you left.

- I will come to her. - Yes.

- As soon as I can. - Yes.

Jesus! Jesus! I was with my father just now.

I'm glad that you and your father have recociled, Judas.

It's essential to us to gain support among those who really count!

I've obtained the favor of the merchants! You have to meet my father?

Be careful, Judas! You aren't thinking according to God but according to man!

Jesus, you have to meet my father

He's a truly important person! He has relations with Syria. Greece, Egypt!

He's powerful!

Is this the house of the Lord!? or is it a market place?

Is this a house of prayer? or is it a thing of thieves?

I shall not have this!

Stop it, Master!

Take this things away!

Don't make my father's house to a place of trade!

Do not store you treasure on earth, but in heaven

For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too!

You! On whose authority, are you acting like this!

Arrest him!

Stop! Now is not the time!

Do you understand nothing?

I will see no blood spilled on holy ground!

Let's go! This way! Let's go!

Quickly, Let's go, Master!

I don't always understand why he acts as he does!

We've alienated the merchants now!

one more false move and we'll have the priests against us too!

What's he doing? I don't understand-

he told us that he can't accept compromises! but he made a mistake setting the merchants against us!

A mistake? yes!

Is he the Messiah? Yes, he is.

I am with you.

- The poeple of Jerusalem won't protect us forever! - Yes!

They'll abandon us! They'll hand us over to the Romans!

- Where did they go? - That way!

Follow me!

How is it possible that no one in all of Jerusalem knows where this Nazarene and his followers are hiding?

The poeple are protecting him!

believw me...I'd be happy to tell you his whereabouts, if only I knew them.

And so would every merchant in the city!

We're glad to hear that!

what about you, Caiaphas? We all know that you priests have eyes everywhere.

Why don't you open them?

The man is a sourse of concern to us as well.

But before any action is taken, it would be opportune to wait them, until the end of Passover.

We granted that your Sanhedrin be protected by armed guards

Use them! Arrest the Nazarene!

If you don't we shall see to it that every single one of your privileges be revoked!

- Now, bring your Sanhedrin together and... - No, No, the Sanhedrin can not be convened during the holiday!

- It would not be customary! - I have given you an order, Caiaphas!

Have you understood that!?

- We we shall assemble immediately, - and remain in session to keep abreast of the situation...

if the merchants agree, of course. Oh, Certainly, yes!

I'm glad you're cooperating..

We haven't got much time.

Arrest the Nazarene, I'll give you until dawn tomorrow...

If you don't, we shall act on our own terms!

What a wonderful smell... What is it?

.Essence if nard

an extremely expensive perfume.

How expensive?

Three Hudred pieces of silver!

300?

Much more than we have in our coffers.

What a waste!

Jesus, What's the meaning of this? We could have helped someone with that money.

Judas. Mary is performing an act of charity for me

You will have much time to perform acys of charity for those who need...

you must now know that I will not be with you much longer.

What is he saying?

He talk about making sacrifices and bathes in the luxuries of the rich

How can you doubt Jesus?

Jesus is the Messiah, we know that.

but he's also a man, isn't he? as a man, he's making mistakes.

Jerusalem is not as easy as you think, friends

Judas, you too!?

Peter, you know he's right. Judas was born here!

He knows the danger we're in, better than any of us!

Jesus just ignores it!

Go if ypu want!

If you no longer believe in the Master! Just go!

Others have already lrft, haven't they?

They said Jesus did things they couldn't understand...

- Like tonight! - Yes! like tonight, Simon!

Look1 we may not understand him now... But one day we will.

I'm sure of it!

Without him, we are nothing, are we?

Judas

Sarah, How did you find me here?

It was Jesta's idea

Since the Romans are looking for you all over Jerusalem

he thought you might be hiding out here.

It was what Jesus wanted, I was against it..

If Jesta can find us, so could the Romans

Why have you come here?

I needed to see you.

I needed to know you still love me.

No, Judas. No! Not now! Not now!

They are going to crucify Disma on Friday! And I still don't have the money to save him!

You love your master more than me.

Sarah, I would give you everything I have, but this money is not mine.

That's what I love in you, Judas. That you are a just man.

But you are also my last hope.

Sarah!

..I think your brother's life

is worth more than a bottle of perfume,

Here....

Take it. It's all you need.

...Don't say anything. just go.

I love you

Disma

Judas fell for it! Just like I told you!

I don't like what you forced me to do!

Well good manners are not going to drive the Romans out!

Judas doesn't deserve to be treated like this!

I don't know if we should have deceived him.

Jesta, I don't like it!

That makes two of you! You and your sister are just alike!

Good.

Now that we have what we need. We can kill him

- tonight.... - Tonight?

Are you with me or not? Of course I'm with you! What do you think?

Pilate's death will shake Rome to the core!

They'll realize they have to go!

That we can not be oppressed!

Maybe yu should go with somebody else and leave him here.

He's still so young.

Will you stay out of this?

I've already given my orders!

Barabbas! Barabbas is here.

Welcome, Barabbas!

We've come for arms, Jesta! Me and my men will need them tonight.

Three Caravans of pilgrims are coming from north.

Well, help youself.

And I don't want the likes of him in our group

He commands a band of fifty men! We need him!

He's a bandit! A murderer! He kills innocent people! He robs pilgrims!

Well, we still need him for our victory over the Romans!

I don't like dealing with filth!

That's enough!

If that's price. so be it!

just give us a sign,

the romamns have pillaged our land for too long.

I want to take back what is mine

That's right!

Have you been round the outer perimeter?

- Not yet, sir. - Then do it now!

My room.

Everything is still the same.

Father!

Judas! Come down here immediately!

Go! Get out of here! The house is being watched!

Just let me explain.

Silence! I don't wan to hear it!

I listened to you. I trusted you and I was wrong!

- Your Jesus ia a madman! - And you're still wrong, father.

Things are about to change. I swear they are.

Juda! Judas!

- Ester! Where is mother? - She's in bed.

father

Where do you think you're going?

I want to see my mother.

Judas!

My son.

Tell me. How are you?

Don't worry about me, Tell me about yourself, my son.

If I'd known you were ill.

they could have let me know.

They couldn't reach you. You were somewhere on Galilee with your master.

- I've been so worried about you. - Why? Why? I'm fine, .

- ,...fine- - Judas! Judas!

I thought I would die, when you told us you were leaving,

But I also understood it was what you had to do.

Your master called you. and it was only right that you should follow him.

He always said he would free Israel. ...that is his kingdom would come but

..I just don't know anymore..

- Do you doubt him? - No. No.

Only god can speak the way he does.

...but, as a man,

all he's done since we came to Jerusalem is make mistakes.

It's not his fault.

He comes from a village, the countryside.

His father is a simple carpenter.

If that is how I were to judge a man's worth,

He's made too many mistakes, one after the other.

Maybe they're not mistakes after all,

They could have another meaning

Maybe he sees things you can not see.

He need me.

He needs my help.

But how, how can I offer it to him? if he won't listen?

I don't know.

I don't know.

...I don't know anymore.

All of a sudden the world seems so empty.

And now I feel so alone.

Have you posted sentinels on night duty? Other orders, sir? No. go.

Pilate sleeps over there! You are on your own..

I'm leaving Jerusalem now, Give me the rest of the money!

What is going on here?

Hide1 Quickly!

Who's there?

Guards! Duards!

Come out! Come out! Arrest them!

Guards!

You are dead!

Alive! We want them alive! Understood, Lucius!?

In five minutes downstairs, Veturius! Throw them in jail!

At your orders!

I want the entire Praetorium on maximum alert!

Call for reinforcements from Caserea and Jaffa!

I want every inch of the city under control!

The poep;e must never know about this!

It would justify their cause

What about the Prisoners? Have they talked?

one of them yes. under torture.

But he's young. he can tell us little about these rebels

He has however revealed that the money to bribeb the wine steward came from one of the Nazarene's disciples

the one called Judas

- Judas?? - Yes, He said they deceived him but I find that hard to believe.

This Judas was a Zealot himself once. Perhaps that's where his sympathies still lie.

Well, it's time we concluded our business with this "messiah!"

My ultimatum to the Sanhedrin expires tommorrow.

If we don't still have a single clue as to his where abouts

it's time a little show of force.

Take hostages among the more influential families! an act of war

in deed it is

and to quote you, Veturius, it always works.

Lucius

Break it down!

Go, my son! Run! Save yourself! Do it for me!

That way!

some of you, come with us

Let my wife and my daughters go immediately Let them go!

You have no right to treat us like this!

There must be some mistake! Do as you like with me, but leave them alone!

Do as you like me but leave them alone! Yes! Yes1

You'll see! You're making a very big mistake!

hurry up! please!

Father! Father! Where are they taking you?

Get out of the way! Let me allow to be disappointed

father! Let my father go!

Stop!

You have forced us to do this!

If Jesus of Nazareth is not in our hands by this time tomorrow

Hostages will die!

It's up to you to save them!

..Give us Jesus!

A stroke of luck! well?

We captured thieves who were breaking into a hostage's house!

Well, Well, I see the fearless Barabbas has fallen into a trap.

The gods have shown us favor today.

I do witness your crucifixion personally. And enjoy every bit of it!

Take him out of my sight!

Come on

I don't know why the Romans have done this.

But it was a false move.

It's time to show them how strong we are.

What are you your orders? Jesus?

Do not fear, Judas. By this hour tomorrow, the hostages will be free.

How? What do you mean?

Trust me. Have I ever lied to you?

Just tell me how!

I have come to offer my life for redemption of many.

i would like you to make the preparations for us to eat the Passover meal.

- Very well, master. - yes, Jesus.

Simon!

I can't believe it. with everything that's Happened.

all he thinks about is his Passover supper!

He asked you to trust him, Judas. He must have a plan.

I hope so!

Judas! Judas!

..I know you are worried about your family.

That's exactlyb why you should believe in Jesus more than ever now!

..Listen to me, Judas,

He is. I don't know to say it. but he is the truth.

We should never start thinking that we are more important than the truth.

I envy you, Peter. If I werw yopu,

if I had a heart like yours. but I don't

There's nothing I can do about it!

Yes there is! Judas!

Judas! Wait!

Sarah!

Where are you going?

I have to hide! Have to hide!

What's the matter with you? Sarah, what;s the matter ?

What's happening?

Forgive me!

...The money wasn't .. I told you a lie! The Money wasn't to save Disma!

What did you do with it then?

It was a bribe to get Disma and Jesta into Fortress! They want to kill Pilate!

What? I deceived Jesus for you and You what...

They were caught! They will be crucified!

My family, innocent people wre arrested! They could die for this! It's my fault!

Don't speak so loud! Don't shout! Don't shout!

You're just like the Romans, all of you!

How can I believe

How can I believe anyone against?

Have pity on me, Judas! Please!

If you still love me, try to forgive me!

Don't leave me! Don't leave me! I can't live withiut you. I can't

You still think I could be useful, is that it?

This way! Quickly!

Take up your positions!

a reward! A big fat one!

and then you'll see how quickly someone comes running to tell us where the Nazarene is hiding!

No one betray him for money, don't you see that?

If you have something better to say to us, I suggest you say it now and very quickly!

My brothren, far too many of us have had our sons taken amongst the hostagesn by the Romans!

No one touched yours, I hear, Otoniel!

What are you implying, Joseph?

The Romans are trying to divide us to maneuver us as they please!

and so far, they've succeeded, as we can see!

But this assembly can not decide in the name of the poeple. We have no quorum here.

Too many of those who have the right to vote, are absent.

I didn't have the time to invite everybody!

But those who agree with you happen to be present in force! Why!?

be honest with us, Joseph. You have become one of the Nazarene's followers!

We all know that!

We're tearing ourselves apart! this temple, the people of Israel!

It is neccessary that one man perish, if an entire nation is to survive.

Where is he? Where is James?

I think he's coming. Ah, there he is.

He's always last to join our meetings

He's always here though.

- What is he doing? - I don't know.

Never, Lord! you will nver wash my feet!

if I do not wash your feet, you can have no share with me.

Well, then, Lord, not only my feet but my hands and my head as well!

You call me Lord and Master, and rightly so... I am...

If I then...the Lord and master. wash your feet,

then you must wash each others.

Washing everyone's feet like a slave. is this the way a leader acts, Jesus?

No servant is greater than his master.

and no messenger is greater than the one who sent him.

Come, Judas. let me wash yor feet.

I thnk you are not capable of guiding us anymore.

Ypu're just a shadow of what you used to be.

You're weak. Jrsus. I can see it.

Are you afraid. perhaps?

Yes, that's it. The man in you is afraid,

scared to death.

You don't know what to do now, do you?

Why don't you admit it? You just talk, You won't do anything.

You betrayed us, Jesus.

You betrayed... all our hopes.

I longed to eat this Passover meal with you... before I suffer... because I shall not

eat again. until it fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom? How will the kingdom come now, master?

One of you will betray me.

What? What did you say, Master?

Who will betray you?

Who is it, Lord?

The one to whom I give this piece of bread will betray me.

What you are going to do, do quickly.

What did he tell him?

If you don't have the courage, Jesus, I do.

I am Judas! I know your problem.

I come to help you.

Why did you turn yourself in to the Sanhedrin?

It was to you, the Romans that I wanted yo speak.

I knew that they would bring mew here.

Why did you choose to betray your master?

You've won I want to be on the side of the winner.

- Don't you want to save your neck too? - Yes

and my poeple... along with me.

You're asking for thirty pieces of silver. Yet you were born a rich man, I hear.

I gave it all up when I decide to follow Jesus.

I have nothing. Thirty pieces of silver, that's my request.

You'll get what you want, if you tell me what I need to know.

Now, Where is this Jesus of Nazareth?

In a place called Gethsemane on the other side of the Cedron river.

His disciples will be with him.

Gethsemane? Why? Who chose the place?

I did,

No house in Jerusalem is safe for us.

Take him down to the dungeon and force him to tell the truth.

I despise traitors!

My son! My son, you are here?

Mother! Don't worry!

Trust me, everything will be alright!

I know that you are lying, Judas. That's why I brought you down here!

I'm sure you recognize your family, don't you?

So it's your family, is it? Nice sisters you've got there, friend!

Perhaps, you know them as well.

They will be crucified tomorrow! Do you know why?

I have nothing to do with them!

You will see what happens, if you don't tell me the truth!

Tomorrow you will watch them die! One by one!

In a way far more painful than the other hostages!

Tell me the real reason, you decided to betray your master!

I've already told you!

Be careful, Judas.

If you're lying, you'll pay for it!

-Take him away! - Judas, my son.

So, what do you think?

I think he's telling the truth.

No I'm not convinced. There is something about this Judas.

Let's torture him. He'll talk.

I don't think so.

We don't have much time. I need this Nazarene!

Could it be a trap?

Maybe.

Why don't you tell the Sanhedrin to send their own armed guards to areest him.

If it's a trap, they will fall into it.

Right.

Take all the men you deem neccessary.

If there's any trouble, don't interfere. Report back to me.

At your orders!

My father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.

Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.

Peter!

Peter!

Wake up, John.

So could you not watch with me one hour, as I asked you?

Halt!

Bring him over here!

We're ready! Come on! Let's go!

We must know exactly who he is! We can't let him escape!

The one I kiss, he is the man.

I've done it, They don't suspect a thing!

I've lured the Romans into a trap.

And I've won for you too, Jesus.

I am forcing you to act.

Raise your powerful hand now!

Destroy our enemies! .Destroy me too

if you wish

But act.

The Kingdom has come!

My friend, do what you are here for!

Are you Jesus of Nazareth?

I am

Arrest him

No! No!

No! No!

No!

Put your weapon back! For all who draw the sword sall die by the sword!

Do you think that Ican not appeal to my father...

who would send more than twelve legions of angels to defense?

Am I a bandit that you had to set out to capture me with swords?

This hour is yours.

Take him away!

Move!

Judas, What have yiu done!? Judas! what have you done!?

Judas, look at me! What have you done!?

Judas!

Lord, don't abandon us.

Noble Pilate, we have kept our side of the bargain.

We brought you Jesus.

I trust that you'll keep your side of it too.

Condemn Jesus to death.

Noble Otoniel, you and Caiaphas will interrogate Jesus, according to your custom first.

But afterwards, I want to talk to him.

And then

I'll decide what to do. Now, pay the man.

Thirty pieces of silver, wasn't that the price we agreed upon?

Veturius, let him go!

Now, come here!

Your master's a strange man. He still called you his friend.

Now, tell me, Judas. We realy want to understand

why do you want this man dead.

Jesus allowed himself to be captured. Don't you realize that?

He will destroy you

Just wait!

Laugh. idolater, while you still can!

Soon you will see the rage of the Son of God!

The Son of God whom you betrayed

I didn't betrayed him. I just acted on his behalf!

So son of god! Son of God! Will I hear nob end to his blasphemy!?

But, can't you see this man is crazy!? What he says makes no sense.

But it doesn't really matter, does it?

Now we have the Nazarene just as we planned.

The Kingdpm will come. and you cann't stop it!

I have no further use for him! Let him go! Let him go!

I tell you, Romans, you will be reduced to dust!

Get out of my sight!

_ The Kindom has come! - Get out of my sight!

Jesus is the messiah!

Let him go! He's a free man!

His followers will get rid of him for us!

Pilate, please remember our bargain,

the hostages for Jesus of Nazareth,

Don't tell me that to do!

!We are excused, both of you. Go!

Shall I put our garrisons in Jerudalem on the alert?

When the news spreads that we've captured the Nazarene,

there could be a revolt.

No. the people of Jerusalem are afraid

They won't lift a finger as long as we have the hostages.

Our king! that's what you called him just a few days ago!

Our king!

Jesus is the Messiah! He's the Son of God!

If he is the son of god, let him free himself!

Then we'll all believe him!

Do you know, Jesus of Nazareth, that it is the Empire of Rome who decides who shall be King of Jews?

And that proclaiming oneself King of Jews is against the wishes of Ceasar?

You are refusing to speak to me?

Surely you know that I have the power to release you. and have the power to crucify you!

You would no power at all, had it not been given from above

the language of true leader!

Might you be the Messiah so long awaited by your people?

I said it. and I was not believed.

If you were the Messiah, you would also be the king of the Jews.

My Kingdom is not of tjis world.

Not of this world?

If my Kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought.

Are you the king of Jews or are you not?

I was born for this.

I came into this world for this.

To bear witness to the truth.

and all who are on the side of truth, listen to my voice.

Truth? What is that?

Well done, Jesus!

The People are with you again!

Jesus!

The Nazarene is lying to save his life.

Perhaps, But he has done nothing to be incriminated under the law of Rome.

A hoard of witnesses saw him preaching the advent of the kingdom!

You heard him, didn't you?

He claims that his kingdom is not of this world!

The Sanhedrin holds him guilty of blasphemy. for claiming to be the son of their god!

- What am I to do of their accusation!? - Nothing!

I can not send this man to his death!

If we don't rid of ourselves of him now, they will be hailing him again in no time!

Don't you see they've already begun to waver!?

- His followers will come back! - Stop!

There might be a way to eliminate the Nazarene.

and let the blame fall upon, the Jews themselves

How?

Judas!

Judas!

- Peter! - Judas!

Now Jesus will use his strength! The city will be shocked!

The News qill even reach Rome!

That's why I did it!

I betrayed him too.

What?

They asked me if I was one of the his followers.

and I denied it! Three times!

I swore I wouldn't do it!

It's not a problem. but I was afraid!

He will forgive you.

They'll kill him!

He won't let it happen?

I know he won't

Don't you understand that? Now he has to act!

You were wrong, Judas!

No. I'm not! so wrong! I was not...

Peter!

Pride is a sin!

He has to act now! He has to act now! Do not tempt the Lord your God!

You mean I acted out of pride? What about you then?

You denied him! That's cowardice!

But that's not a problem, Peter.

Look at you! And I was eure that you were better than us!

You even convinced me that you were humble!

It was a sham! A farce!

I am ready to die for him!

Maybe you are, but you haven't realized your mistake, Judas!

You have to ask Jesus forgiveness!,

- Judas! - Forgiveness?

- Yes - Forgiveness, Peter? Forgiveness for what?

For having forced them to take on the Romans? Forgiveness for what?

For forcing him to win!? Forgiveness for what, Peter?

Huh!? Forgivess for what?

For not having loved him enough.

We must ask his forgiveness?

I loved him. I loved him.

Peter. Peter. Peter!

Behold him!

Does he look like a king to you!?

He doesn't look like much to me!

You might have chosen a better one!

On account of this man, Jesus of Nazareth, many lives were endangered!

These people are still in prison!

But we shall soon give the order for them for them to be released. when peace is restored to this city

I Rome demands of you!

_ It is to preserve that peace, - Judas!

- that two bundles of Jerusalem, - Judas!

- who have committed crimes against our security _ Judas!

will be cricified today!

Their names are Disma and Jesta!

No! No!

Poeple of Jerusalem! According to your custom,

I should release one prisoner to you today at Passover.

And Rome will respect that custom.

Many of you know this man, Barabbas.

a brigant found guilty of many crimes!

And this is Jesus!

I have no case against him.

But remember that the lives of many people depend on him.

This is totally cynical!

He's using you for his own ends!

Now! People of Jerusalem whish of the two would you like me to release to you?

Barabbas

or Jesus?

This is insane! Insane

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus!

Stop! Stop!

What's that!? Do you want me to cricify your King!?

Free him! Free him!

Free Jesus! Free him, Jesus!

I am not responsible for his blood!

Stop!

The Son of God!

We crown you King of the Jews!

The King's pruple robe!

Hosanna! The King of the Jews!

Hosanna! The King of the Jews!

Father! My son!

We're going home!

Jesus! Jesus!

If yow knew how much blood I've spilt!

I'd kill you too if I could!

You call yourself the Son of God, but look at you!

You can't even help yourself!

It's been long enough, Jesus! free yourself now!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Why won't you answer me, Jesus?

What's your plan?

What are you waiting for ?

Ask God to send a angel to free you.

Son!

Mother!

Son!

Where is your father, Jesus! Huh!?

Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do!

You're calling your father!? Son of god!?

You're no man! You're a beast! A beast!

And you're dying up here alongside me!

Silence!

Have you no fear of God at all?

We are paying for what we did.

but this man has done nothing at all!

Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!

In truth I tell you today you shall be with me in Paradise.

Have pity on me, Lord. Forgive me.

!Forgive me.

Judas! Judas! Whatever happened go to him and ask his forgiveness! Judas!

Here you are, Sarah.

Now you shall you will see him perform a miracle.

He will save your brother as well I know he will.

Go to him now! Before it's too late! Please! P;ease!

Jesus can't die. He's the Sn of God!

Ne can't let them kill him!

Don't you understand!? Go to him! Go to him please!

Jesus won't die! Why don't you believe me!?

You are mad. You are mad!

Come back to your senses! Are you too proud to admit you were wrong!?

I was not wrong! I swear to you. I swear to you!

- Jesus is dying, Judas! he's dying! - No! No! No!

If you don't ask him for forgive you now, you will blame yourself for the rest of your life

How can you talk about pride!? About blame!? You...

you planned to kill a man! You took yourself for God!

You're worse than...!

You are the one who is takung himslf for God!

Look at him. he's suffering. but now, he'll free his son.

He'll make a sign

And everything will be changed!

And all this happened. because...
