The Bible (2013) s01e09 Episode Script

Passion

Previously on The Bible.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
And God said, "Let there be light.
" Adam and Eve disobeyed 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.
God has spoken to me.
He will lead us to a new home.
He has promised descendents as numerous as the stars.
- Aah! - Who are you? - My name is Moses.
God has sent me to set you free.
The Lord brought us out from Egypt.
He promised us this land! Soon it will be ours! Jerusalem, our new home.
David, you have forged God's nation on earth.
God has forsaken you.
He wants a man after his own heart.
I believe your son is the promised king of his people.
What is his name? Jesus.
His name is Jesus.
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.
- It's too dangerous.
This agitator from Gakikee, 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 Pilate will do? Sir, a Jew has been causing trouble in the temple.
You cannot serve God and money.
If the disturbances that took place today are repeated tomorrow, i will shut the tempie immediately.
Destroy this temple, and i will build it again in three days.
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.
I will not fall away.
Peter, you will deny me three times.
- No! - Run.
Jesus! Run! Tell Caiaphas we have Jesus.
Jesus has been arrested.
Arrested? - Are you the Son of God? - I am.
Blasphemer! 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.
It could be disastrous.
I 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.
It's in our common interest.
I must make him see that.
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.
The sentence is death.
You! Take back your money! You.
I've seen you before.
You know him.
No.
I don't know him.
You called him Rabbi.
He has nothing to do with me.
You know him.
I've seen you with him.
I don't know him.
Peter, you will deny me three times.
Don't be afrakd.
Take him to Pilate.
Where's my wife? It's late.
Piease, Master.
Come quickly.
Claudia, what? I- I saw a man in a dream.
A man being beaten and killed.
An innocent man! A holy man.
A good man.
Help your lady back to bed.
No! It was you who killed him.
One of you here will betray me.
Sir.
the High Priest Caiaphas and his elders are here to see you.
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.
I'll see the prisoner.
You! Stop, please.
Please wait! Please! You know Jesus.
You spoke to him.
Please, where's my son? He's gone.
Gone? Where? No.
Please.
The Romans have him, The Romans? He's never said anything against Rome.
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.
If it were, my servants wouid fight my arrest.
My kingdom is from another place.
You are a king then.
You say that i am a king.
I 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? 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! If i 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.
I'll be finished.
We'll be finished.
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.
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 I can reiease a prisoner at Passover.
Let the people decide which of the prisoners i hold will be crucified.
Come on! Move your feet! Come on! Come on! Here! Quickly! What have they doe to him? They're going to kill him! It's as if he knows this must happen.
So you're a king.
Every king needs a crown.
Get up! Let them in.
Yes.
You.
You and you.
You.
Go on.
Yes.
You.
- Wait there.
- No, not you.
Back.
Back.
No! Step back! Not you.
Back.
No pushing! Let us through.
- Let me through! Back! No.
No.
Yes.
No.
Close the gates! Hey! Mary! Mary.
Move.
Move.
Let's go.
Today, passover begins.
And your emperor, Tiberius Caesar, makes you a gesture of good will- the release of a prisoner- Chosen by you.
I give you a choice.
Barabbas- a dangerous agitator, a common murderer.
Or this preacher, who ciaims to be your king.
He is not our king! We have no king but Caesar.
You must decide.
We choose Barabbas.
- Free Barabbas.
- Barabbas.
Free Barabbas.
Barabbas.
He's one of us.
Give us Barabbas! Release Barabbas! Free Barabbas! Barabbas! Barabbas! Jesus! Barabbas! Barabbas! You choose a murderer? Give us Barabbas! Do it! Let's go.
And the prophet? How could this blasphemer be our king? He's not our king! Crucify him! Crucify him! Kill him! Crucify him! - Spare him! - Save him! - Kill him! - Crucify him! Put him out of his misery! - Crucify him! - Crucify him! Crucify him! How can you condemn this man and spare a murderer? Crucify him! Blasphemer! Crucify him! Crucify him! Very well.
Crucify him! Crucify the blasphemer! Let him die! No! You! Get back! Get back, you! Release him! - Move! Roman scum! How can they treat him like this? John, i need to see him.
I need to see my son.
Get Back! Get back! Move away! Get back! Move them back! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Move on! This is so wrong, How can they treat him that way? Get back there! Roman murderers! No! Jesus! Somebody help him! Show him mercy! No! Get back! Stay back! My son.
Don't be afraid.
Everything is possibie with God.
Move forward! Jesus! Jesus! Piease, she's his mother! Hey! Get back! Further back! Get back! Somebody help him! Release him! Please! You! Heip him carry the cross.
Move! My Lord.
What will the sign on his cross say, Prefect? Put in Aramaic, Latin and Greek- "Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews.
" He was never our king.
It must read.
"This man said 'I am the king of the Jews.
' It stays as i've commanded.
The king of the Jews.
Cowards! Get away! Get away! My lord.
Bless you.
- Thank you.
Come on! Come on! Move! Move it! Move! Come on! Hey, come on! Faster! Move! Come on! You! Leave! Leave! Move! Come on, king.
Come on! Come on.
Come on! Come on.
Get him up on the cross! Come on! No further.
Secure the ropes.
Faster! You'll live to regret this.
Hardly the first Jew we've killed.
He was different.
He was chosen by the gods.
He thought he was.
He'll be forgotten in a week.
Get him up there! Steady! Come o! Steady! My son.
King of the Jews! Can you see the temple from there? Leave him! Father! Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
You first.
Bad luck.
Aren't you the Messiah? Why don't you save yourself and us? Our punishment is just, but this man has done nothing wrong.
Remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Truly i say to you, today, you will be with me in paradise.
Mother, this is your son.
John, this is your mother.
My God.
My God.
Why have you forsaken me? I thirst.
It's finished.
Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
Claudia! This is a omen! Take the body away.
Wait! i have an order from Potius Pilate.
This body is ours.
Give it to them.
Where were you? You were supposed to be his rock.
I failed him.
Now i can't ask him to forgive me.
Come back if you need anything.
I will.
Have a safe journey back to Galilee.
Bless you.
Who are you lookig for? If you've taken him, tell me where he is.
Mary.
Teacher? Go and tell our brothers I am here.
Next time on The Bible.
The tomb is open.
I saw him! Peter? He hasn't gone.
He's back.
Because you see me, you believe.
No, this isn't reai.
Thomas, stop doubting.
It is you.
- When the Holy Spirit comes to you, you will receive power.
In the name of Jesus Christ, rise up and walk.
Jesus did this! They're shouting that wretched man's name again! You will be siient, or you will be silenced.
Blasphemer! We are not afraid of death.
Paul of Tarsus.
I could flush this scum out for you.
Tell all your friends that! Paul of Tarsus, will find you! - Whoa! Whoa! Who are you? Tell me who you are! Forgive me.
I've wronged God.
Shh.
Shh, shh.
The door is open to everyone.
You must come with us.
We rejoice in our suffering.
James! No! There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
Something must survive.
If not me, then my words at least.
Hmm? I am coming soon.
