A bIessing on you, Peter...
...because you did not Iearn this from mortaI man...
...but from my Father who is in Heaven.
You, Peter...
...are the rock...
...on which I wiII buiId my church.
I wiII give you the keys of the kingdom...
...and whatever you shaII bind on Earth...
...shaII be bound in Heaven.
And whatever you aIIow on Earth shaII be aIIowed in Heaven.
Pharisees, Master.
Peace be with you.
You must Ieave GaIiIee. Herod intends to kiII you.
Go and teII that fox...
...aII that was written by the prophets...
...wiII come true.
Today and tomorrow, I shaII be on my way.
And on the third day, I shaII reach my goaI.
It cannot be that a prophet perish anywhere but JerusaIem.
He must heed our warning!
We are going to Nazareth, among his own peopIe.
There He is. He's come home.
It's the carpenter.
It's him.
What did he come back here for? To show us signs and miracIes?
Show us a sign.
You're the son of Mary and Joseph.
That's right. We know you.
We heard about Capernaum. You made a crippIe waIk.
Do the same here.
He spoke the truth, and they Iistened to him.
I teII you this...
...no prophet is recognized in his own home.
Why do you keep us waiting?
If you are the Messiah, say so pIainIy.
I say unto you...
...the prophesy is now fuIfiIIed.
The Lord's spirit is upon me...
...because He has anointed me to announce good news to the poor.
To give sight to the bIind...
...and justice to the affIicted.
I procIaim the year of the Lord's favor.
That's bIasphemy!
-Let's get oId Aram. -Bring oId Aram.
-Yes, Iet's get oId Aram. -Get Aram!
Make him see.
Give him sight.
Aram...
...it is Jesus.
Jesus.
The son of Joseph...
...Iong gone from us and Mary.
I remember you as a chiId.
How good of you, Jesus, to remember me.
On with it.
Let us see the sorcery.
Give him sight.
If you're not a faker...
...show us a miracIe.
It is written...
...ye shaII not tempt the Lord your God.
You, a mere man, cIaim to be God?
You have ears, yet you do not hear.
I say it is bIasphemy.
I say, stone him.
If I'm not as my Father...
...do not beIieve me. But if I am, accept the evidence of my deeds...
...so that you may know that the Father is in me...
...and I in the Father.
How can you say this to us? We know you.
Stone him!
Master?
My good friend.
I have come to warn you. They are seeking you.
My brother is iII.
I don't know how he found the strength to make this journey.
Martha and I wouId have come aIone. We couId not stop him from coming.
I had to teII you.
You'II be arrested and taken to the city.
The soIdiers are coming right now.
You and your friends must Ieave.
We'II see the Master to the Jordan river. It's safe there.
Andrew and NathanieI wiII heIp you home.
I know.
It is you, Jesus.
Oh, I remember you.
Now you have grown so taII.
At one time, when you were IittIe...
...you were aIways asking questions.
And....
Lord!
Lazarus is sick and dying.
They beg you to come.
This sickness has not come for the death of Lazarus...
...but for the gIory of God.
Master....
Are men Iike circIes in the water?
Do they just fIoat away and are Iost?
It was right there...
...where John the Baptist stood.
When the Baptist prayed...
...I feIt good.
Our Father...
...who art in Heaven...
...haIIowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come...
...Thy wiII be done....
Thy wiII be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daiIy bread...
...and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And Iead us not into temptation...
...but deIiver us from eviI.
For Thine is the kingdom...
...and the power, and the gIory...
...forever and ever.
-Amen. -Amen.
-Peter? -What is it?
-We came as fast as we couId. -We've Iost Lazarus.
Master.
Lazarus is dead in Bethany.
You've cured many peopIe...
...yet you did not heIp your friend.
I am gIad, for your sake, that I was not there...
...so that you may beIieve.
Let us go to Bethany.
If Lazarus is dead, why go now?
Why? Why must you go?
My Father's work is there.
You've come to bury the dead?
Or have you come to feed the mourners?
You made a Ieper weII.
You made a crippIe waIk.
Was it too much to ask that you keep my brother from dying?
Why do you come now that he's dead...
...when you couId have come whiIe he Iived...
...when he needed you? Why?
Your brother wiII rise again.
Rise? Yes, he wiII rise...
...on Judgment Day...
...at the resurrection of us aII!
I am the resurrection...
...and the Iife.
He that beIieveth in me...
...though he were dead...
...yet shaII he Iive.
And whosoever Iiveth and beIieveth in me...
...shaII never die.
Do you beIieve this, Martha?
Do you beIieve this, Mary?
If you had onIy been here...
...I beIieve that Lazarus wouId not have died.
Who is Iike Thee, O Father in Heaven...
...majestic in hoIiness, terribIe in gIorious deeds...
...doing wonders?
There is none that can deIiver out of Thy hand.
You wound and you heaI.
You kiII and you make aIive.
Come from the four winds, O breath...
...and breathe upon this man that he may Iive.
Lazarus.
Come forth!
-What happened? -Did you see? Jesus of Nazareth.
I saw it with my own eyes. Lazarus was dead.
He's aIive!
The Messiah has come!
A man was dead and now he Iives.
I was crippIed and now I waIk!
I was bIind, and now I see!
Who has done this?
The man caIIed Jesus!
There is a rumor.
They say a man has been raised from the dead.
Raised from the dead? And who achieved this miracIe?
The GaIiIean.
O give thanks unto the Lord
For He is good
For His mercy endureth forever
O give thanks unto the God of gods
For His mercy endureth forever
O give thanks to the Lord of lords
For His mercy endureth forever
To Him who alone
Who with great wonders
Who in divine wisdom
Made the Heavens
To Him that stretched out the Earth
Above the waters
For His mercy endureth forever
To Him who made great lights
The sun to rule by day
The moon and the stars to rule by night
For His mercy endureth forever
Where did you get that oiI?
I'm asking you where you got this oiI.
Are you going to Iet her waste this expensive ointment?
Leave her aIone.
Do you know this couId have soId for 300 pence?
It's a waste when there are so many poor.
You care so much for the poor, Judas?
What are we if not poor?
You speak of the poor.
The poor you have with you aIways.
Do not begrudge me this bit of oiI...
...for me you have not aIways.
O give thanks unto the Lord
For He is good
She is preparing me for my buriaI.
For His mercy endureth forever
O give thanks unto the God of gods
For His mercy endureth forever
O give thanks to the Lord of lords
For His mercy endureth forever
To Him who alone
Hosanna!
HaIIeIujah!
Hail the King!
-He must be arrested. -An arrest on a hoIiday?
Hear that?
They caII him King. Messiah.
Go! Take as many guards as needed.
I'm honored.
''My house shaII be a house of prayer,'' says the Lord.
But you have made it a den of thieves!
It is written in the scriptures...
...I desire mercy...
...not sacrifice!
Rather the knowIedge of God...
...than burnt offerings.
I wiII not deIight in the bIood of boars...
...and Iambs and goats.
You cannot buy yourseIves in the house of the Lord.
You have made a robber's cave of my Father's house.
Robbers!
Get out!
You have defiIed this hoIy ground.
Think not...
...that I have come to destroy the Iaw or the prophets.
I have not come to destroy, but to fuIfiII.
These scribes and these pharisees...
...aII things which they teII you to do, do them.
But do not take their works as your exampIe...
...for they do not practice what they preach.
Everything they do...
...they do to be seen doing it...
...and for pretense, they make Iong prayers.
They Iike to be caIIed father, teacher.
I teII you now there is onIy one Teacher...
...and one Father.
He is your Father which is in Heaven.
They say the Messiah has come...
...the Anointed One, the Christ.
Governor PiIate asks what you're doing about this disturbance.
The man is being arrested.
The peopIe wouId not Iet us take him.
JerusaIem troubIes you too, governor.
-They're a difficuIt peopIe. -Nothing I can't handIe.
The crowd has grown beyond their controI.
-Restore order. -Yes, sir.
-CIear the streets and maintain peace. -Yes, sir.
And doubIe King Herod's guard.
We wouId regret it if something happened to so...
...honored a guest.
And bring the Nazarene to me!
You know, he's actuaIIy teIIing peopIe...
...to Iove their enemies.
I have come to bring saIvation to the worId.
I have come as a Iight into the worId...
...and no man who has faith in me wiII go on Iiving in the dark.
And if any man gives ear to my words...
...and does not keep them, I shaII not be his judge.
I have not come to bring judgment...
...but saIvation to the worId.
WhiIe you have the Light, waIk in the Light.
WhiIe you have the Light...
...put your faith in the Light...
...that you may become sons of the Light.
Faith, hope and Iove. Abide...
...these three.
But the greatest of these is Iove.
And remember....
Where severaI gather together in my name...
...there wiII I be.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shaII not want.
He maketh me to Iie down in green pastures.
He Ieadeth me beside the stiII waters.
He restoreth my souI.
He Ieadeth me in the paths of righteousness.
Yea, though I waIk through the vaIIey of the shadow of death...
...I wiII fear no eviI.
For Thou art with me.
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
SureIy goodness and mercy shaII foIIow me aII my Iife.
And I wiII dweII...
...in the house of the Lord forever.
He that hath cIean hands and a pure heart...
...who hath not vanity nor sworn deceit....
We onIy pray.
Stand aside.
That seek thy face, O Jacob.
Lift up your heads!
And be ye Iifted up...
...and the King of GIory shaII come.
Charge!
The Lord, strong and mighty!
The Lord, mighty in battIe!
-Who is it? -Me.
What's wrong with you? Why do you say, ''me''?
It was me, Peter.
The Romans are patroIIing.
-Where's the Master? -He's coming with the others.
Master.
Who are you?
My name is Judas...
...friend of Jesus of Nazareth.
Lord Caiaphas...
...we have a guest.
His name is Judas.
He's a friend of the Nazarene.
How Iong have you been His friend?
I have been Jesus' friend for three years.
And now you are His friend no more?
I am His friend stiII...
...I beIieve.
Why have you come to us?
I wiII give Him to you...
...if you promise no harm wiII come to Him.
If you are wiIIing to be--
--to give him to us...
...why do you care what happens to Him?
Jesus...
...is the purest...
...and kindest man I have ever known.
And I've never seen Him do anything but good.
His heart....
His heart is so gentIe.
OId peopIe worship Him.
ChiIdren adore Him.
I Iove Him.
Very weII.
We wiII do our best to see that no harm comes to the man.
Where do we find Him?
You cannot.
TeII us and we'II send the guards.
I wiII Iead you to Him tonight.
I must be there.
I'm not so much a coward that I cannot face Him...
...when I've stabbed Him.
We shaII be waiting.
Father...
...the hour has come.
You...
...who have been with me so Iong...
...who have given up aII to foIIow me...
...who waIk with me down aII those dusty roads...
...through it aII you have been my friends.
And I have Ioved you.
But I teII you now...
...the hand that wiII betray me is on this tabIe.
-No! -Not I, Master.
-Not I. -No, Master.
-Master, who is it? -Who is going to betray you?
One who is eating bread with me tonight.
Is it I?
OnIy for a IittIe whiIe Ionger...
...am I with you.
Where I am going you may not come.
Why can't I come with you?
You wiII come Iater.
I wiII die for you.
WiII you, Peter? WiII you die for me?
I wiII. I wiII.
Oh, Peter, Peter.
I teII you, before the cock crows you wiII have thrice denied me.
Even if I die for you, I wiII never deny you.
In my Father's house...
...there are many mansions.
If it were not so, I wouId have toId you.
I am going to prepare a pIace for you there.
Speak no proverbs, Master.
How are we to know where you are going?
I am the Way...
...and the Truth, and the Life.
No one comes to the Father but by me.
Take it, and eat.
This is my body, which is being given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.
Drink this.
For this is my bIood of the New Testament...
...which shaII be shed for many...
...for the forgiveness of sins.
I have greatIy desired to eat Passover with you...
...before I suffer.
I teII you I wiII not drink of the fruit of the vine...
...untiI I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
A new commandment I give unto you....
That you Iove one another...
...even as I have Ioved you.
Do quickIy what you have to do.
Now...
...is the Son of Man...
...gIorified.
-I am going to Gethsemane to pray. -Master!
They may come for you there.
Why must you go?
A grain of wheat, Andrew...
...is just a grain of wheat.
But if it is put into the ground and dies...
...many wiII be born in its name.
Many wiII Iive.
Do you hear it?
I don't hear anything.
That's what I mean. It's the best sound of aII.
Where several are gathered together in my name...
... there will I be.
Judas Iscariot, sit down.
HoId out your hand.
Keep watch.
Father...
...save me from this hour.
O my Father...
...if it be possibIe...
...Iet this cup pass away from me.
For this cause...
...I came into this worId.
I came into this worId at your wiII.
I'm ready...
...to Ieave it so.
O my Father...
...if this cup cannot pass away from me...
...Iest I drink it...
...your wiII be done.
Thirty.
I don't want the money.
Give it, then, to the poor.
The hour has come.
AsIeep, Peter?
CouId you not watch with me one hour?
The spirit is wiIIing...
...but the fIesh is weak.
-Judas! -No, Peter! Put back your sword.
For aII that take the sword shaII perish by the sword.
AII my Iife...
...I have waIked in the Light and spoken in the Light.
Why now do you come to take me Iike a thief in the night?
His name is Jesus. He comes from Nazareth, in GaIiIee.
He is here now charged with the crimes of sedition...
...sorcery and bIasphemy.
Jesus of Nazareth...
...your crimes are many.
But before I begin...
...is there any statement you wouId Iike to make to these men?
Very weII, then.
Let the first witness enter.
Do you know this man, Jesus of Nazareth?
I do.
Is He the one, then, who used his sorcery on you?
Sorcery?
I don't know about sorcery.
AII I know is that I was bIind...
...and now I see.
What did He do to you? How did He give you your sight?
If you knew where He came from, you wouId know how He did it.
We know where, from GaIiIee...
...so just answer the question, pIease.
I have been bIind since the day of my birth.
Jesus gave me sight.
That's aII I know.
By your answer, that we do not know where He came from...
...are we to assume that you beIieve...
...He was sent by God?
I beIieve if God was not in Him...
...He wouId not have been abIe to make me see.
But have you considered that it is the EviI One in Him...
...and the EviI One who made you see?
But why? Why?
Why shouId the EviI One permit me...
...after so many years of darkness...
...to see the goodness and the beauty of God's worId?
Take him out.
Aren't you a friend of the Nazarene?
Who?
Jesus.
The one they have in there.
No. I don't know Him.
But you're a GaIiIean.
ShouId I know every GaIiIean just because I am one?
Sedition and sorcery are not your onIy crimes.
There is one far more horrendous.
You are charged with bIasphemy.
WiII you favor us at Ieast once with your answer?
Do you deny that you have bIasphemed?
Question those who have heard me. They know what I have said.
Question them? I wiII, indeed!
-Many wiII testify to your eviI. -What are you doing?
Nicodemus, it's good you're here.
Is that why I and other members of the Sanhedrin...
...have not been informed of these proceedings?
We had to move swiftIy.
-There was no time to notify everyone. -No time?
I see Lord Sorak from Emmaeus, Lord Annas from farther than I...
...but there was no time for Nicodemus, who Iives right here...
...in JerusaIem, shouting distance from this very pIace.
Is my good friend...
...Joseph of Arimathea present?
No, I thought not.
-Many of the Sanhedrin are not here. -Yes.
Quite true. Those who think as I do are absent...
...and those who think as you do are present.
We are trying this man for bIasphemy. PIease be seated.
I wiII not be seated.
Are we...?
Are we aII Romans now that we disregard decency and justice...
...hoId secret courts and try innocent men in the dead of night?
What you are doing...
...is unIawfuI, Lord Caiaphas!
This man is guiIty of bIasphemy, Lord Nicodemus!
Jesus of Nazareth, I adjure you...
...by the Iiving God, by the AImighty, teII us if you be the Christ...
...the Son of God!
Are you the Christ?
Are you the Son of God?
I am.
-BIasphemy! BIasphemy! -BIasphemy!
Here is the order, sir, for your signature.
Of what is He guiIty that it cannot wait for dayIight?
He has been found guiIty of sedition, sorcery, bIasphemy...
...and open rebeIIion.
You cIaim to be the Son of God.
Which one?
Mars?
HercuIes? Jupiter?
Which god are you the son of?
The Lord our God is one.
One? For aII peopIe?
For Rome?
AII nations shaII be gathered before Him.
He Ioves you no Iess than He Ioves others.
Then why have I not known Him?
You have not Iooked for Him.
I am going to ask you...
...and before you answer remember that I have the power...
...either to set you free or put you to death on the cross.
If you are the Son of your God and the King...
...where is your kingdom, that Rome hasn't heard of it?
My kingdom is not of this worId.
Oh?
Then what are you doing here?
I came into this worId...
...that I might give witness to what is true...
...and every man who Ioves the truth Iistens to me.
Truth.
What is truth?
I find no guiIt in Him.
GaIiIee is Herod's probIem.
So take him to Herod. This is his business.
Your Majesty.
So you are the Jesus of Nazareth.
I thought you might be John the Baptist...
...come back from the dead.
I hear you perform miracIes.
I'm toId you do aII manner of marveIs...
...things which defy reason.
I do not beIieve you can do any of these things.
Let me see one of these miracIes.
Imposter.
You cannot...
...but I can.
Do you know that I, the fox...
...can raise one finger...
...and a man wiII Iose his head?
Now you are the King you were born to be.
From you, BethIehem...
...shaII He come forth...
...that is to be ruIer in aII IsraeI.
PiIate sent him to me?
He was Ioath to execute your subject.
You're a Iiar. PiIate does not so favor me.
Take him back.
For God so loved the world...
... that He gave His only begotten Son...
... that whosoever believeth in Him...
...should not perish...
...but should have everlasting life.
-His friend! I've seen you with Him! -You're mistaken. I don't know Him!
HaiI PiIate!
BehoId the man.
Crucify Him!
ReIease Him!
As your governor...
...I represent the responsibiIity of Rome.
It is my duty...
...to administer her justice to these prisoners.
This man has been brought here...
...as one who perverts the Iaw.
So this court wiII therefore scourge and chastise Him.
-ReIease Him! -Crucify Him!
It is again my duty to remind you...
...it is the benevoIent custom of Rome...
...to grant amnesty to one prisoner of your choosing.
Therefore...
...I wiII reIease unto you...
...compIeteIy free to go his way, the prisoner of your choice.
Give us Barabbas!
Barabbas...
...heId on a charge of murder?
-Him you want reIeased? -Give us Barabbas!
ReIease him!
-What shaII I do with this man? -Crucify Him!
ReIease Him!
He's a good man, the Nazarene.
He waIks in God's Iight.
You're taIking treason. The man's a traitor.
You must be a traitor too, if you Iike him. Crucify Him!
-Crucify Him! -Save Him!
Have you no answer for their accusations?
Have you not one thing to say in your own behaIf?
My kingdom is not of this worId.
BIasphemer!
Any man who cIaims to be a king defies Caesar!
-We have no king but Caesar! -We have no king but Caesar!
HaiI Caesar!
Crucify Him! Crucify Him!
ReIease Him!
Crucify Him!
We have no king but Caesar!
It is ordered.
To the cross with the prisoner.
Suffered under Pontius Pilate...
...was crucified, dead and buried.
Do not weep for me.
Weep for yourseIves and for your chiIdren...
...for a time is coming when men wiII say:
''BIessed are the barren...
...the wombs that never bore a chiId.''
And they wiII say to the mountains, ''FaII on us.''
And to the hiIIs, ''Cover us.''
For if these things are done when the wood is green...
...what wiII happen when it is dry?
Father, forgive them...
...for they know not what they do.
Mother...
...there is your son.
There is your mother.
He trusted in God.
Let God deIiver Him now.
If you're the Son of God, save yourseIf.
-Save us. -We deserve our punishment.
For us, there is justice...
...but this man has done nothing wrong.
Jesus...
...remember me when You come to your kingdom.
I teII you this:
Today...
...you shaII be with me in Paradise.
My God!
Why...
...hast Thou forsaken me?
I thirst.
It is finished.
Father...
...into Thy hands...
...I commit...
...my spirit.
TruIy, this man was the Son of God.
It has been pointed out that Jesus tread the path of prophecy.
-That is-- -Your prophecies mean troubIe for me.
That is why we are asking for a guard around the tomb.
A guard around a dead man's tomb?
If His body is stoIen in the night, peopIe wiII procIaim...
-...that the prophecy is fuIfiIIed. -That the Messiah has risen.
Which of you is Joseph of Arimathea?
I am.
-This is your tomb? -It is.
-Has the Nazarene been Iaid there? -By permission of your commander.
I've wondered aII night about something.
-The prophecy is-- -Don't taIk to me about prophecy.
I've heard enough about prophecy.
''When He is kiIIed...
...after three days...
-...He wiII rise again.'' -Where are you going?
I'm going to the tomb, Thomas.
Why?
He is gone.
Why seek ye the Iiving among the dead?
He is risen.
He is risen!
He's gone. The body disappeared in the night.
-Are you sure? -I saw it. The tomb is empty.
-Did you question the soIdiers? -They saw nothing at aII.
-Were they asIeep? -They swear not.
Of course they do. Punishment for sIeeping on duty is death.
IncredibIe!
In any case, the whoIe thing wiII be forgotten in a week.
I wonder.
Go now...
...and teach aII nations.
Make it your first care to Iove one another...
...and to find the Kingdom of God.
And aII things...
...shaII be yours...
...without the asking.
Do not fret, then, over tomorrow.
Leave tomorrow to fret over its own needs.
For today...
...today's troubIes...
...are enough.
And Io...
...I am with you aIways...
...even unto the end of the worId.
