[ Man Narrating ] Previously on The Bible.
[ Man ] ln the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
And God said,
''Let there be light. ''
Adam and Eve dlsobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit.
Since then, since Cain killed Abel,
God has seen too much evil in human hearts.
God warned me. He told me to build a boat.
[ Abraham ] God has spoken to me.
He will lead us to a new home.
He has promised descendents as numerous as the stars.
- [ Groaning ] - Aah!
- Who are you? - My name is Moses.
[ Moses ] God has sent me to set you free.
[ Joshua ] The Lord brought us out from Egypt.
He promised us this land!
Soon it will be ours!
[ David ] Jerusalem, our new home.
[ Man ] David, you have forged God's natlon on earth.
[ Shouts ]
[ Samuel ] God has forsaken you.
He wants a man after his own heart.
[ Crying ]
[ Man ] l believe your son is the promised king of his people.
What is his name?
Jesus.
His name is Jesus.
[ John The Baptist ] There is one to come, greater than me.
i'm just a voice in the wiiderness preparing the way for the-
Lord.
- Soon we go to Jerusalem. - lt's too dangerous.
[ Caiaphas ] This agltator from Gaklkee,
he's trouble.
- Where is he headed? - Towards the temple, High Priest.
God will bring his wrath down upon all of us,
and who knows what Pllate will do?
Sir, a Jew has been causing trouble in the temple.
You cannot serve God and money.
lf the disturbances that took place today are repeated tomorrow,
i wili shut the tempie immediately.
Destroy this temple, and l wiil buiid it again in three days.
[ Man ] He threatens to destroy the temple.
We remove this man, or the Romans destroy everything.
- Execute? - Yes.
The life of one peasant...
for the future of God's nation.
l will not fall away.
Peter, you wili deny me three times.
- No! - Run. Jesus!
Run!
Tell Caiaphas we have Jesus.
Jesus has been arrested. Arrested?
- Are you the Son of God? - l am.
Blasphemer!
[ Door Clangs ]
[ Footsteps Approaching ]
Your Passover robes, High Priest.
The sentence is death, but it cannot be by stoning.
it's the penalty for blasphemy.
The crowds-
He has thousands of supporters.
lt could be disastrous. l dare not risk it.
Pilate.
Pilate can do it. He has the authority.
Why wouid the Romans execute Jesus?
Pilate is charged with keeping peace in Judaea.
lt's in our common interest.
l must make him see that.
[ Crowd Chattering ]
Let it be known Jesus of Nazareth has been tried...
by the supreme court of elders.
And he has been found guilty of blasphemy...
and of threatening to destroy the temple.
What do you want with him?
Just to talk.
[ Coins Jingle ]
The sentence...
is death.
[ Crowd Exclaiming ]
You! Take back your money!
You.
l've seen you before. You know him.
No.
l don't know him.
You called him Rabbi.
He has nothing to do with me.
[ Woman ] You know him. l've seen you with him.
l don't know him.
[ Grunts, Groans ]
[ Jesus ] Peter,
you wiIl deny me three times.
[ Crying ]
Don't be afrakd.
[ Maichus ] Take him to Pilate.
[ Cock Crowing ]
Where's my wife? lt's late.
[ Woman ] Piease, Master. Come quickly.
[ Woman Sobbing ]
Claudia, what?
[ Sobbing ] l-
l saw a man...
in a dream.
A man being beaten...
and killed.
An innocent man!
A holy man.
A good man.
Heip your iady back to bed. No!
lt was you who killed him.
[ Sobbing ]
[ Crowd Chattering ]
[ Jesus ] One of you here...
will betray me.
[ Branch Creaks ] [ Groaning ]
Sir. the High Priest Caiaphas and his elders are here to see you.
[ Sighs ]
[ Caiaphas ] prefect, good morning.
Prefect, we need your help.
We have convicted a dangerous criminal.
His sentence must be death.
So? Execute him.
We cannot.
This close to Passover,
it would make us impure.
So do it after passover.
He is an immediate threat...
not only to us, but to you.
This is a tense time...
when my peopie celebrate...
their deliverance from past oppressors.
He claims to be our king...
and is whipping up the crowds into a rebellion,
a rebellion that could tear Jerusalem apart.
Caesar would not be pleased.
- His name. - Jesus of Nazareth.
You better not be wasting my time.
l'll see the prisoner.
[ Crowd Chattering ]
[ Children Exclaiming ]
You! Stop, please.
Please wait! Please!
You know Jesus. You spoke to him.
Please, where's my son?
He's gone. Gone? Where?
[ Mary Magdaiene ] No. Please.
The Romans have him, The Romans?
He's never said anything against Rome.
[ Chains Jagling ]
So,
tell me who you are.
Are you the kig of the Jews?
Are you asking,
or is it a question coming from others?
Are you a king?
That's what your own people and chief priest...
tell me you claim to be.
My kingdom...
is not of this world.
lf it were,
my servants wouid fight my arrest.
My kingdom is from another place.
[ Cup Splashes ln Water ]
You are a king then.
You say that l am a king.
l have been born...
and come into the world...
to testify to the truth.
Everyone on the side of truth...
listens to me.
Truth?
What is truth?
[ Door Slams ]
That's him.
The man i saw in the dream. That's him!
They want him crucified.
You can't.
They say he couid start a revolution.
You mustn't!
lf l don't. Caiaphas will blame any rebellion on me.
Caesar will see it as my failure.
He's warned me once. He's not going to warn me again.
l'll be finished.
We'll be finished.
[ Crowd Murmuring ]
He's guilty of nothing more than being deluded.
He has broken the law.
Your law, not Caesar's.
Get him out and teach him some respect.
Forty lashes.
[ Caiaphas ] Forty lashes?
Nothing more?
Prefect,
we cannot be held responsible...
for what the people may do today...
with their eyes on God...
if you release a man...
who has broken our sacred laws.
The people?
Caesar decrees...
l can reiease a prisoner at Passover.
Let the people decide which of the prisoners l hold...
will be crucified.
