[Birds Squawking]
[Man] The feeling begins.
Very tender, very loving.
Then the pain starts.
Claws slip underneath the skin and tear their way up.
Just before they reach my eyes, they dig in.
Then I remember.
[Pounding]
First, I fasted for three months.
I even whipped myself before I went to sleep.
At first it worked.
Then the pain came back.
And the voices.
They call me by name,
Jesus.
[Sighs]
[Jesus] Who is it? Who are you? Why are you following me?
Are you ready?
No, no. No more crosses. We're ready
Do you hear? Where's your mind? Do you hear what I'm saying?
The Messiah won't come that way
What do you mean by that? Who told you?
[Spits]
You're a disgrace!
The Romans can't find anybody to make crosses except for you!
You do it! You're worse than them!
You're a jew killing jews! You're a coward!
How will you ever pay for your sins?
With my life, Judas. I don't have anything else.
Don't turn away. Look at me. Look at me
With your life? What do you mean?
Please, judas. I don't know. I don't know
- Are you still taking the cross? - Yes, I am
No, you're not. [Mutters]
[Groaning]
I won't let you! No! I won't let you!
Please, I beg you, don't get in the way
What way? What's happened to you?
I'm struggling
- With who? - I don't know. I'm struggling
No. No
I struggle. You collaborate

[Chattering Continues]
[Indistinct Shouting]
[Man] Leave him alone. Are you ready?
[Man] Stop him! Stop him!
[Taunting, Shouting Continues]
[Man] Traitor!
You are the people of Israel. Your children are watching
You are the people of God. He is judging us. He's watching you. Please
- There he is. - Kill him.
Don't touch him! Get away from him!
- Don't defend him. - He's my son!
[Shouting Continues]
God is with us. He's judging us.
Fight! Fight!
[Man] God help us! God give us strength!
Give us strength now!
[Quiet Chattering]
[Children Giggling]
[Prisoner Muttering] You are His children
[Dog Howling]
Come. Come with me
[Centurion] This man naked before you now is condemned for sedition��
for lifting his hand against Rome
He rallied the people to revolution.
He promised that a Messiah would come from among the people��
to rise up and destroy Rome.
- Rome is nothing. - Murder.
- It's small. - Betrayal, looting, and so on.
And so, therefore, he is condemned to die.
Rome condemns him.
And all the gods of Rome condemn him.
[Woman Wailing]
The shield is�� He is our heart
He is our heart. He is our heart
He is our�� He is our shield
- Lazarus. - He is our shield
He is our shield. He will not abandon us
He will not abandon you. He will not abandon you
He will not abandon you. He will not abandon you.
[Hammering, Lazarus Screaming]
- [Gasps] - [Screaming Continues]
[Gasps]
[Man Chanting] Mercy on him. Mercy on him.
[Woman Wailing]
[Lazarus Screaming, Groaning]
[Groaning] Ahhh! No!
- [Screaming] - No
[Jesus] God loves me. I know He loves me.
I want him to stop. I can't take the pain.
The voices and the pain.
- [Groaning Continues] - I want Him to hate me.
I fight Him and make crosses so He'll hate me.
I want Him to find somebody else.
I want to crucify every one of his Messiahs.
You're sure it's God? You're sure it's not the devil?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure of anything
If it's the devil, the devil can be cast out
But what if it's God? You can't cast out God, can you?
[Loud Footsteps]
[Footsteps Stop]
[Footsteps Continue]
Who's that? Who's Following me? Is that you?

[Jesus] Thank you, Lord, for bringing me where I did not want to go.
He must be one of God's angels��
who came down to show me the way.

[Indistinct]
Who's out there?
Who is it?
What are you doing here?
I want you to forgive me
I've done too many bad things
I'm going to the desert
and I need you to forgive me�� before I go
Please.
Oh, I see
You sit out there all day with the others
And then you come in here with your head down, saying
��Forgive me. Forgive me.��
It's not that easy
Just because you need forgiveness, don't ask me to do it
- I'm sorry, Mary. - Now get out! Go away!
Look, Mary. Look at this.
God can change this. God can save your soul
He already broke my heart. He took you away from me.
And I hate both of you!
Hate me. Blame me. It's all my fault.
But not God's. Don't say that about God
Who made me feel this way about God?
I know. That's why I'm here
That's why I want you to forgive me
I'll pay my debt.
I know��
the worst things I've done have been to you
Pay or go away. [Sobbing]
Mary��
don't you remember?
No, I don't remember. Why should I?
Nothing's changed
Save the truth.
You want to save my soul?
This is where you'll find it.
You know that.
You're the same as all the others, only you can't admit it.
You're pitiful.
I hate you.
Here's my body
Save it
Oh! Is that the way you show you're a man?
Turn away. Don't look at me
You never had the courage to be a man. Don't look at me.
If you weren't hanging onto your mother, you were hanging onto me
Now you're hanging onto God
Going to the desert to hide because you're scared.
Well, go. Whenever I see you, my heart breaks
I do remember when we were children
Never have I felt so much tenderness toward anyone��
as I felt toward you then
All I ever wanted was you
Nothing else
What do you think I wanted?
Please�� stay.
Is it so bad sharing a prostitute's room?
I won't touch you. You'll still be a virgin
Mary, I'm sorry. I can't stay
Welcome. This way
Do you always pray this late at night?
It's a funeral. The master of the monastery died
Shall I pray with you?
No. Sleep. You must be tired
I know who you are
[Chanting In Distance]
That was the man who brought me here last night
Last night? He was dead last night.
[Chanting Continues]
The master's soul is gone to heaven
His body's work is completed
It walked under the sun and the moon��
over sand and stone��
sinned, felt pain��
yearned for heaven
We commend his remains to our god
Flesh, the master no longer needs you.
Melt away.
First came the wings, then the angel.
His spirit actually appeared to you.
He treated you like a royal visitor
He recognized you for something
No, he couldn't have recognized me for anything
I only came here to serve God. That's all
That's all God wants from me. I'm sure of it
But think of how you're blessed
God actually makes himself known to you
I don't know what God wants from me
All my life I've wanted to hear God's voice
I've dedicated my life to Him
Sometimes�� I think I feel Him
but I'm never really sure
But you always know
God took you by the hand and brought you here
[Laughs] You think it's a blessing to know what God wants?
I'll tell you what He wants. He wants to push me over!
Can't He see what's inside of me?
All my sins?
- We all sin. - Not my sins
I'm a liar, a hypocrite. I'm afraid of everything
I don't ever tell the truth. I don't have the courage
When I see a woman, I blush and look away
I want her, but I don't take her�� for God
And that makes me proud. And then my pride ruins Magdalene
I don't steal, I don't fight and I don't kill
Not because I don't want to, but because I'm afraid
I want to rebel against you, against everything, again��
against God, but�� I'm afraid
You want to know who my mother and father are?
Uou want to know who my god is?
Fear
You look inside me, and that's all you'll find
But the more devils that we have inside of us
the more of a chance we have to repent
Lucifer is inside me
He says to me, You're not the son of King David
You're not a man. You're the son of man
And more. The Son of God. And more than that. God
[Chuckles] Do you want to ask me anything else?
[Rattling]
[Magdalene Laughing]
[Jesus] Everything is from God.
Everything has two meanings.
[Magdalene's Voice] Jesus, oh, my sweet jesus
I forgive you
Leave me! Leave me
They're gone
You have to leave too
No. I have to stay
No, you've been purified
God has just blessed you. The snakes came from inside you
Now you have to leave too. You have to go back and speak to people��
- and share your heart. - Speak to who?
- To anyone who will listen. - And say what?
Just open your mouth. Do you love mankind?
I see men, and I feel sorry for them. That's all
[Sighs] That's enough
[Rustling]
[Grunts]
I've got orders to kill you.
Go ahead. Tonight I was purified.
I can't fight with God anymore. Here. Here's my neck. Cut it
I'm ready.
[Gasps]
[Imitates Knife Slicing]
What are you? What kind of a man are you?
What you want, I want.
That's why He brought us together
I come to kill you and you help me, that's God's plan?
These voices you hear, it's God's voice? Only you understand it?
Well, you better make me understand it too
I'll tell you as much as I know
The fainting spells, the voices, the visions
Power, magic
Is there some secret?
- Tell me your secret. - Pity
- Pity for who? Yourself? - Pity for men
- Our enemies are men. - I feel pity for everything
Donkeys, asses, sparrows
What about ants? Feel pity for them too?
Yes. Everything's a part of God
When I see an ant, when I look at his shiny black eye��
you know what I see?
I see the face of God
You're not afraid of dying?
Why should I be?
Death isn't a door that closes; it opens
It opens, and you go through it
If I don't kill you, what happens?
I'll speak to people
What are you going to say?
I'll just open my mouth, and God will do the talking
Maybe God didn't send you here to kill me
Maybe He sent you here to follow me
Just so there's no mistake
I'll go with you until I understand
But if you stray this much��
from the path, I'll kill you
[Shouting, Screaming]
[Screaming] Stop!
[Screaming Continues]
It's Magdalene. She deserves it
[Sobbing, Whimpering]
- [Men Shouting] Stone her! - [Screaming]
[Man] Get out of there! Get out of the way!
This is not your business! Do you want to get hurt?
Didn't you hear, idiot? Move!
No. I don't want this
Listen to him. He doesn't want this. Well, we want it
- Why? - We don't have to tell you!
Bad enough we live in a whorehouse.
But she's a jew! She works on the sabbath
She goes with Romans. She broke Moses' law. She dies!
Who has never sinned? Who?
Which one of you people has never sinned?
Whoever that is�� come up here!
And throw these!
I have nothing to hide
Good. Take this. It's bigger
[Whimpers]
Be careful, Zebedee
There is a god
He's seen you cheat your workers
He's seen you with that widow. What's her name?
- [Woman] Judith. - Judith
Aren't you afraid God will paralyze you if you lift that stone?
That your arm will wither?
That you'll lose all strength?
[Sobbing]
[Whimpering]
[Jesus] God has so many miracles.
What if I say the wrong thing?
What if I say the right thing?
Come closer
Come closer! We're all a family
Come closer so you can hear
I have something to tell you
Who is he?
It's jesus from Nazareth
Nothing good can come out of Nazareth. The scriptures say so
Uh��
I'm�� I'm sorry, but��
the easiest way to make myself clear��
is to tell you a story
A farmer was planting in his field
Some seed fell on the ground, and the birds ate it
Some seed fell on rocks and dried up
But some seed��
Some seed fell on rich soil��
and grew into enough wheat to feed a whole nation
- Can you hear me? - Oh, we can hear you fine
I'm the farmer! The farmer is me
And two and two makes four. Another lunatic!
Rabbi�� tell me. If you're the farmer��
and we're the stones
what's the seed?
What's the seed?
Love
Love one another
That's easy to say. Maybe that's good advice, but for some other world.
These people are starving. First feed them, then talk
I used to think God was angry too, but not anymore!
He used to jump on me like a wild bird��
and dig His claws into my head
But then one morning, He came to me
He blew over me like a cool breeze��
and said, ��Stand up.��
And here I am
- And you will go to hell. - These are children's stories
- How can they help? - What are you hungry for? What are you thirsty for?
- Justice! - And bread
Bread? Bread too. You're thirsty for justice
for people to treat you fairly
for people to treat you with respect.
Whoever's hungry for justice
they're the ones who'll be blessed
They'll be filled with bread. They'll never be hungry again
They'll have the real value, the value of love�� to love, share and comfort
They'll have the courage to do the good
And you�� you're mourning
Mourners will be blessed
You'll have God to comfort you. You won't need men to do it
And the meek, they're the ones who will be blessed
And the suffering, they'll be blessed too
And the peacemakers and the merciful��
and the sick and the poor and the outcast
You'll all be blessed, because heaven is yours!
[Man Laughing]
And believe me��
[Laughing Continues]
Believe me, those who are laughing now��
will be crying later
Those whose stomachs are filled will be hungry later.
And the rich will be poor forever!
- Kill the rich! - Kill them!
[Shouting]
No! L-l-I didn't�� I didn't say death!
[Shouting Continues]
I said love!
- Enough. Come. - No, Father, I'm staying
We have to work. I need you!
John!
- Come. - I'm sorry, Father. I'm staying too
Oh, no, no, no. Not the two of you!
Let me come with you. I can help
[Sighs] No. Stay here
You'll know when
Tell people about me
[Quiet Chattering]
James
Andrew
Move over, john
Move over, james
What? I was just comfortable
- Peter wants to lie down. - There's no more room
I'm cold. I want to be by the fire
[James] Go over by Phillip. We're all cold.
[Peter] Ah, shut up.
Rabbi, can I talk to you?
[Sighs]
I'm not like these other men
I mean, they're good enough. They're good men
But they're weak. One's worse than the other
Where'd you find them?
Look at me
If I love somebody, I would die for them
If I hate somebody, I kill them
I could even kill somebody I loved if they did the wrong thing
Did you hear me? Do you understand what I said?
Yes, I understand
The other day you said if a man hits you, you turn the other cheek
I didn't like that. Only an angel could do that
Or a dog. I'm sorry, but I'm neither
I'm a free man. I don't turn my cheek to anyone
We both want the same thing
We do? You want freedom for Israel?
No. I want freedom for the soul
No. That's what I can't accept
That's not the same thing. It's not the same thing!
First you free the body, then free the spirit. The Romans come first
You don't build a house from the roof down; you build it from the foundation up
The foundation is the soul
The foundation is the body! That's where you must begin
No. If you don't change the spirit first
then you're only gonna replace the Romans with somebody else, and nothing ever changes
Even if you're victorious, you'll still be filled with the poison
You've got to break the chain of evil
How do you change, then?
- With love. - [Footsteps]
Who's there?
It's me, Andrew. Is everything all right?
It's all right. Go back to sleep. Judas and I are talking
There's an example
You know, the zealots ordered me to kill you
Why did you change your mind?
I decided to wait
For what?
I thought maybe you were the one�� to unite us
I didn't want to destroy that
How do we know? How could I be the Messiah?
When those people were torturing Magdalene, I wanted to kill them
And then I opened my mouth�� and out comes the word ��love.��
Why? I don't understand
You can't look to the others for answers; all they can do is follow you
We'll go to judaea and see john the Baptist
Every day he tells hundreds of people the Messiah is coming
He'll know. He'll know
Judas�� I'm afraid
Stay with me
[Chanting In Arabic]
[Man Preaching] Behold! I will raise up evil against you out of your house.
And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor.
And he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
You may listen and listen again, but you will never understand.
You may look and look, but you will never know.
[Voice Echoing] These people's wits are dulled!
Their ears are deafened and their eyes blinded��
so they cannot see with their eyes nor hear with their ears��
so that they may turn and be healed!
The Lord of Hosts says, ��On this day����
- He sounds like the Messiah. - No
I will crush the horns of the new moon��
And I will spill darkness over the world
I will reverse your laughter, turn it into tears��
Go in front. Let him see you
Hands, feet, noses, ears will fall to the ground.
Listen. It is the thunder of many people.
[Jesus] Even from behind, I knew I had seen him before.
- [Continues Preaching] - Where? Was it a dream?
Yes, it was!
But in the dream, he was dressed in white.
You will have the smell of decay and branding��
instead of beauty.
Your men shall fall by the sword
and your women shall sit on the ground, stripped bare!
Who are you?
Do you recognize me?
Who are you?
Do you know the prophets? What does Isaiah say?
He says, ��Prepare the way of the Lord.��
Are you telling me that's you?
I don't know. Tell me
Why are you here?
To be baptized
No, no. I don't dare
If you're the master, then you have to baptize me
Baptize me
[Continues]
[Chanting Continues]
[Quiet Talking]
Love. What does it mean?
Love is sweet as honey, but it's also blood
Love is action. You want a new crop, you burn the earth
- But isn't love enough? - No, no! Look at the world
Plague, war, corruption, false prophets
False idols, worship of gold
Nothing is of value. The tree is rotten
You have to take the ax and cut it down
If I was a woodcutter, I'd cut. If I was a fire, I'd burn
But I'm a heart and I love. That's all I can do
I'm a heart, also, but I can't love what's unjust
What I can't love, I attack. God demands it
- Anger? - Yes, God demands anger
Anger? But we're all brothers
You think love is God's only way?
Go to the Dead Sea. Look in the bottom
You'll see two whores, Sodom and Gomorrah
That's God's way
On the day of the Lord, blood will flow from wood
The stones of the houses will come alive and kill their owners
That day is here
He gave me the ax; now I give it to you
That's not the answer
Then, what is the answer?
I don't know
Well, if you won't listen to me, who will you listen to?
God
The God of Israel is a god of the desert
If you want to speak to Him, then you'll have to go to the desert
I'll go to Idumaea
Thank you, Baptist
Be careful. God isn't alone out there
I'm not going to leave this circle
I'm not going to leave here until You speak to me
No signs. No pain
Just speak to me in human words
Whatever path You want, I'll take
Love�� or the ax��
or anything else
Or if You want me to stay here and die, I'll do that too
But You have to tell me
[Rattling]
[Magdalene's Voice] I feel sorry for you. You were lonely
You cried. So I came
I didn't call for you. Who are you?
Your spirit
My spirit?
You're afraid of being alone
[Chuckles] You're just like Adam
He called me, and I took one of his ribs��
and made it into a woman
You're here to trick me
[Chuckles] Trick you?
To love and care for a woman
to have a family�� this is a trick?
Why are you trying to save the world?
Aren't your own sins enough for you?
What arrogance to think you can save the world.
The world doesn't have to be saved.
Save yourself.
Find love.
I have love
Look�� in my eyes
Look at my breasts
Do you recognize them?
Just nod your head��
and we'll be in my bed together.
Oh�� Jesus!
[Shuddering]
[Sobbing]
[Jesus] After ten days��
the hunger went away.
[Growling]
[Low Roar]
[Judas' Voice] Welcome, jesus. Congratulations
You're past the small temptations of a woman and a family
- We're both bigger than that. - Who are you?
You don't recognize me?
[Judas's Voice] I'm you. I'm your heart
Your heart is so greedy
It pretends to be humble
but it really wants to conquer the world.
I never wanted a kingdom on earth
- The kingdom of heaven is enough. - You're a liar!
When you were making crosses for the Romans in Nazareth,
your head was exploding with dreams of power!
Power over everyone!
You said it was God, but you really wanted power.
Now you can have what you want.
Any country you want.
All of them.
- You could even have Rome. - Liar
Step into my circle so I can pull your tongue out!
[Moaning]
Archangel, move back
Move back, you're blinding me
Jesus
I'm the one you've been waiting for
Remember�� when you were a little boy?
You cried, Make me a god!
God, God, make me a god!
But I was just a child then
You are God.
The Baptist knew it. Now it's time you admit it.
You are His Son
The only Son of God. [Echoes]
Join me. Join me
Together, we'll rule the living and the dead
You'll give life, and you'll take life
You'll sit in judgment, and I'll sit next to you
Imagine how strong we could be together
Satan?
We'll see each other again
Don't be afraid. You are the one
My work is done
Now I can die
The Lord wants me to tell you to stand up
His day is here. Take this ax
Take this message to everyone
[Sheep Bleating]
Please
[Gasps] What do you want?
I'm a foreigner�� from Galilee
I'm tired
You don't know how good this tastes
Some more wine, please?
Mary
Martha.
I want to say that you're both blessed
I came here, you didn't know me
You took me in, fed me, restored me
and God came down and went into my heart
- Go on. - No.
I've talked too much already. Silence is better
No, it's not. [Chuckles]
Do you have a wife?
- No. - How can you live like that in the desert?
Tell me the truth. Don't you miss all this: Having a home;
- a real life? - Admit it
- I'd like it, but I'll never have it. - Listen.
If you really want God, don't spend your time in the desert
He's not there. He's right here
Read your scriptures. God doesn't want you to fast and pray.
He wants you to make children
Mary, you're making him uncomfortable. He's a guest
- He knows what I'm talking about. - [Chuckles]
[Martha] Come and help me.
- It's not right to tease these men. - I wasn't teasing
Remember the Baptist? It's nothing to tease about
- The Baptist? What? - He's dead.
He was killed by Herod. You didn't know?
[Martha] They say the king was drunk.
They say he cut off his head to satisfy a girl.
- It happened in Jerusalem. - No, at his palace in Tiberius.
[Flute, Drum Playing]
Now they say they're gonna kill everyone who was baptized
- No one forced you to be baptized. - You were baptized too
You begged for it, so be quiet
[James] I can just imagine in Galilee right now.
The sea
They say the fishing's so good you just touch the nets and the fish jump in
Don't talk about fish. Reminds me of my sheep. I don't know what's happened to them
Maybe we should wait for him in Galilee
[James] No, we promised the master we'd wait here.
That was over a month ago. There are thousands of people waiting to see him.
They're waiting to hear him, and he's gone. The whole movement, we look like fools
- Nathaniel's right. He makes sense. - [All Arguing]
- Go back to Galilee like Peter says�� - Brothers!
I don't understand you
Think of the last words the Baptist said
He said, jesus of Nazareth, leave the desert
I am finished. And return to mankind
- How do we know the Baptist really said that? - Everybody says he did
- But how do we know? - Well, even if he didn't, the words are still important
Why?
Because people believe them
[Sighs] And what if our master's��
Well, what if he's the one?
- What one? - The one
What do you mean? The Messiah?
We don't know the Baptist said that!
- Nobody knows what they talked about. - [All Arguing]
He's saying that the world of God is here now
What if he just meant�� continue my work?
Continue to do the same work that I've been doing
It was right here at the jordan River Elijah ascended to heaven
Doesn't that mean something to you?
- We're waiting here! - [All Quiet]
We're waiting here
I don't think we should go back to Galilee. I think we should wait here
[Chuckles] That's what I love about you, Peter
You're as steady and as solid as a rock
Nobody can change your mind. What good are you?
Master
Rabbi
John heard your footsteps in his heart�� in a way
And we were preparing to welcome you
Were you baptized?
Yes.
John baptized with water and they killed him
Now, I baptize with fire
Is that what the Baptist told you?
I have an invitation for you
- Is there a celebration? - No
I'm not inviting you to a celebration
I'm inviting you to a war
This is my heart. Take it
God is inside of us
The devil is outside us in the world all around us
We'll pick up an ax and cut the devil's throat
We'll fight him wherever he is
In the sick, in the rich
even in the temple
I'll lead you
If you have sheep, give them away
If you have a family, leave them.
I believed in love
Now I believe in this
Who's with me?
Adonai.
Today and tomorrow I cast out devils and work cures.
On the third day,
I shall be�� perfected.
[Moaning]
Out!
Satan! Leave him!
- Satan, out! - [Moaning]
Leave him!
Moses, Elijah, Isaiah
Touch my mouth
touch my lips
Go the temple. Let the high priests see you

You! You don't belong at a wedding. We're here to celebrate purity
- I'm sorry, but these people are my guests. - Please
Let me explain something to you
What do you think heaven's like?
It's like a wedding
God's the bridegroom, and man's spirit's the bride
The wedding takes place in heaven��
and everyone's invited
God's world is big enough for everybody
Nazarene, that's against the law
Then the law is against my heart
Don't touch me
You are now sacred to me through this ring
[Bridegroom] You are now sacred to me through this ring.
According to the law of Moses and Israel
According to the laws of Moses and Israel
[Women Chanting]
My cousins are very upset
They only bought enough wine for three days, and another day's gone past and it's gone.
What's in those?
- Water. - No. It's wine
- No, no, it's water. I put it there myself. - It's wine
- It's water. - Go over there and make sure
Do it
[Continues]
You're right. It is wine

[Jesus] Brothers!
My old friends! Listen to me!
It's me the prophets preached about
God talked to me in the desert.
He gave me a secret and told me to bring it to you.
[Chuckles] Didn't you hear me coming?
I ran here to Nazareth, where I grew up, to bring you the news
- The World of God is here now. - You work miracles.
Make a miracle for us. Make us believe in you. Otherwise, go away
The Messiah doesn't need miracles. He is the miracle
Now he's here. Are you ready for me?
I'm here to tear down everything around you
And you know what I'm going to replace it with? Something new
God. The World of God
So take your bread and give it to the poor
What difference does it matter what you own?
You have gold and silver? It's going to rot
And that rot is going to eat away your heart
All of you. There will be a flood, and there will be a fire
Everything will be destroyed. But there will be a new ark riding on that fire!
And I hold the keys and I open the door��
and I decide who goes in and who doesn't!
You're my brothers from Nazareth, and you're the first I invite on the ark
Don't wait. Don't waste your life
- Come with me. - You're the son of Mary?
Who are you to tell us about God?
- He made better crosses than speeches. - [Laughter]
Go get somebody from his family to take him away. He's insane
- [People Laughing] - What are you laughing at?
Everything you have is going to burn�� soon. Get out now. Come with me to jerusalem
See? This is what happens when a man doesn't get married.
The semen backs up into his brain
- [Laughter] - Go home!
You're a demon! You're possessed! You're a lunatic!
- This is my home! - You should be ashamed
- He's a magician. - Don't touch him. The Word of God is for the poor!
[Shouting]
If I could touch every stone, if I could breathe on every branch, they'd get up and follow me
- So what's wrong with you? - [Shouting Continues]
Come with me to Jerusalem!
Jerusalem is falling!
I feel it. I know it
[Jesus] You see these people?
They're poor, they're blind, they're crippled.
They're going to be our army
We're going to need better men than this
God will give them to me. We're going to build a new jerusalem
Son. Come back with me, please
Who are you?
- Your mother. - I don't have a mother
I don't have any family
I have a father�� in heaven
Don't say that to me
Who are you?
I mean, really
Who are you?
- [Kisses Head] - [Sobbing]
Mary�� why are you crying?
Didn't you see them?
[Sobbing Continues] What?
When he spoke to you, there were thousands of blue wings behind him
- I swear to you, Mary, there were armies of angels. - [Shudders]
- There were? - Thousands
I'd be happier if there weren't
[Chanting, Wailing]
When was he buried?
Three days ago
Roll away the stone

We came here to pray. Look at this
The moneychangers? It's for the temple tax, for the feast
I know
- How's the exchange today? - Fair. At this stall, it's always fair
- Making a good profit? - Fair
[People Shouting]
[Shouting]
This is my father's house!
It's a place of worship! Not a market!
Nazarene, what are you doing?
- [Shouting Stops] - What are you doing?
God doesn't need a palace!
He doesn't need cypress trees or dead animals! He doesn't need shekles!
You expect people to pay the tax with Roman coins?
They have images of false gods on them
You want pagan gods in the temple?
All foreign coins have to be exchanged for shekles
- That is the law. - I'm throwing away the law
- I have a new law and a new hope. - What?
Has God changed his mind about the old law?
No. No, He just thinks our hearts are ready to hold more, that's all
This chaos is your new law. How can you presume��
How can I presume? Because I'm the end of the old law and the beginning of the new one!
- Watch what you're saying. - Maybe we should go
When I say ��l��, rabbi, I'm saying God
That's blasphemy
Didn't they tell you?
I'm the saint of blasphemy
Don't make any mistakes!
I didn't come here to bring peace. I came to bring a sword
- Talking like that will get you killed. - Me killed?
Listen to me. This temple will be destroyed in three days
Torn down to the ground! There won't be one stone left to build with!
You think God belongs only to you? He doesn't
