All language subtitles for The Day Christ Died 1

I know a rebus I shouldn't arrested him

I shouldn't have tried him I shouldn't

be sending him to the cross you're

taking the advice of Talia's Barabbas

could have been quietly strangled in the

cell and you wouldn't have to cope with

that crowd outside if I had listened to

target I would have made a mockery of

Roman law and I hate to think what.

Caesar would have made of me gratitude

to these Jews when I think of the time I

spent be the new water system to

Jerusalem and the cost you are a

brilliant engineer Pilate I suppose

that's a compliment well yes we need

your advice perhaps you could indicate

more clearly what you have in mind

something that will sit well with Caesar

as you know Caesar has ordered no

compromise with the Jewish extremists

particularly with mob heroes you'll have

to crucify Barabbas do you have an

alternative is that what you call advice

do you understand what's going on out do

you want this demonstration to turn into

another uprising if you don't crucify

him you'll have been Caesar on the other

hand if you do I'm suppose you'll have

an angry mob at your throat Thank You.

Claudia that's exactly what I need at

- this moment my wife's analysis of the
- arm.

There is of course one possibility they

know that on their Passover you perform

an annual act of mercy by commuting the

death sentence of one Jew symbolic and

probably a mistake

last year I seem to remember it was an

arsonist this year are you seriously

suggesting that I free Barabbas a Jew

who has murdered a Roman soldier no

there's got to be another way

I will not surrender to these barbarians

since this is meant to be a magnanimous

Roman gesture to a conquered people why

- not take it a stage further and allow
- them to make the choice listen they've.

Made their choice

exactly you offered them another

criminal they've choose Barabbas it's no

longer your decision

a bus

listen to it these days I can understand

you or hate leaving the piece of the

temple a piece of the temple how long

will that last

I don't envy you not the easiest time to

be high priest to Judea indeed not.

Nicodemus.

Barabbas kills one Roman soldier and the.

Romans retaliate a hundred for one it's

not the kind of arithmetic I favor do

any others pollution Resolute's there

are heroics cost precious Jewish blood.

Oh Joseph firefighter I am grateful to.

Barnabas for one thing there's nothing

else he's taking your mind off Jesus

well that depends well whether you have

made my warning to him okay you know

this heretic has been seen just outside

the city.

Helen dare enter it once again and I

will have him arrested by the temple

guard

there's the well there's the man with

the pitcher Peter how could he know the

man with the pitcher was gonna lead us

to the sin he arranged it you can't all

be miracles you know there's a practical

side to him too Peter where are you from.

Galilee I love you dad

occupation fisherman named Simon but

your journey she moaned Bayona

and yours John Hebrew name Johanna you

don't smell like fisherman we wash for

passing you fish with the sword in.

Galilee men has to protect himself is it

against the law in Jerusalem move on

hey what do they think of Barabbas in.

Galilee we don't know him of course he

will all pay for the subjects of Caesar

in Galilee we render unto Caesar what is.

Caesar's and to God what is God's

what is - well put for a fisherman who

said that our rabbi and what belongs to

Caesar tax and your God love excellent

we could do with more Jews like your

rabbi on your way

I'm Jacob Peter John come with me when

is he coming into the city in time for

the Seder I was hoping he changed his

mind it's foolish very food

he knows the danger then why I suppose

he would say the prophet Isaiah

predicted it the prophet Isaiah

didn't detect the courtyard of the

temple and drive the merchants and

moneychangers off with a whip what is

the one thing these Jews are really

passionate about their religion

what are they go to a restaurant of

their high priests there does point the

way their religious counts the Sanhedrin.

Thank You Thomas

they're against Barabbas they don't like

zealots and revolution is any more than

we do

now if we could find someone that they

dislike it was also violated Roman law

you know the same problem you just have

another Barabbas not only has no

political supporters their mob behind

him there is a rabbi the Galilean hardly

any a few days ago he started a rampage

in that temple name is Yeshua are

yourself how do you know I've seen him

well I don't care who he is laws he's

broken the law on arresting and I

provoked further demonstrations what if

he's innocent he's a Jew I'll look into

it if you like yes do before they start

- setting themselves up for their internal
- min ago ceremonies.

Well you won't be able to be arriving

later after we've seen the room I'll go

back to the well and wait to lead them

here for the Seder

do your proof Peter the rabbi will be

pleased My servants will look after you

tonight Thank You Jacob but that won't

be necessary

I want to Peter it's the least I could

do anything anything I can do our Mehta

service Jacob thank you

he challenged on the left is Philippa

properity

I've been talking to some people who

just arrived from Galilee there's been

rioting there the Roma's have killed

more than a dozen people for protesting

against Barabbas a sentence

do you think these people were sinners

above all other sinners in Galilee and

that is why this happened to the whole

course not it happened to them because

they were Jews protesting against Roman

tyranny and when the Tower of Siloam

fell in Jerusalem and killed 18 men do

you think it was because they were

sinners do you Judas no I don't they

were killed because the mortar was badly

mixed and they happened to be working on

the tower what does that have to do with

the massacre in Galilee I'm saying that

whoever does not repent will perish in

one of many ways I understand but I

don't understand it's why even though

I'm not from Galilee I said to care what

happens to Patriots similar than anyone

else

whatever happens in Galilee is small

compared to what will happen when the

day of judgement comes it is coming what

Judas is saying rabbi is that if anyone

must be killed before the day of

judgement let it be the Romans he wants

to reach God's kingdom without having to

die on the way I would die for a cause I

believe it no man wants to die then why

are you going into Jerusalem tonight

knowing that knowing what what everyone

- knows but there are men who wish him
- dead.

It is necessary but the son of man go

into Jerusalem on the Passover suffer at

the hands of the lawyers and the priests

be betrayed and crucified and then

raised on the third day why don't you

ever say directly that you are he Judas

stop asking questions and ask

I want to believe I do believe but we're

young there are many paths service ahead

and a lot to do here and now I can't

help thinking that is a Jew you could

use the powers we've all witness to help

other jurors like Barabbas who fight the.

Romans you think too much to do this and

feel too little

but that is as it should be

I have given you in the other certain

powers use that power will and I'm

asking you to help me use it to

strengthen the unity of the Jews against

the conquerors of Israel I haven't

listened Judas you seem to think that I

have come to bring what you call peace

on earth for you the earth is Israel the

only enemy Rome

you must think in broader terms Judas

you have all been with me for a long

time seeing what I have seen misery

corruption vengeance there will be no

peace yet nation shall rise against

nation Kingdom against Kingdom there

will be earthquakes famines pestilences

fearful signs from heaven.

I'm quoting you master I want to give

you an eloquence and a wisdom that your

enemies will not be able to resist will

not be easy

you must be secure in heart you will be

alone betrayed by your friends even by

your family

you are the master of the house but you

should have asked me why Ruth I've never

touched your hospitality Passover is a

family feast why take risks some people

are worth living risks well and he is

one of them what do you think will

happen if they find him here I didn't

happen if something had to happen Jacob

every child in the street knows what

Jesus did in the temple and to you among

others it's Pesach rules please what do

you think what happened they find him

here

you'll be arranged yes perhaps you'll

find humor in ruin no but something

inside me finds a certain joy in his

words every time I hear him speak it's

like an illumination what prophets a man

- to gain the whole world and lose his.
- soul.

Before I became your disciple I knew a

lot of the people who are now your

enemies when we came to Jerusalem I

didn't think they'd recognize me but

they did the first death attempt would

they tried to talk to me I know how I

saw them well why didn't you tell me why

you confuse me why do you think I've

been trying to stir up your anger over

what happening Galilee to turn me back

to Galilee now yes I've seen you angry

before

why not now of all my disciples

I've sometimes felt closest to you

because you've understood my words best

what do you expected me Judas is so much

and so little life here instead of life

eternal through my death do you think

you can change that my sick and yours

I shall neither stop you know what judge

you

what do you mean I'd rather die I know

that to come each of you will make your

way into the city so is not to attract

attention this is most important nothing

must happen until the seder is over

each of you will make your way to the

well Peter will be waiting there to take

you to the Seder go now

and be careful

the truth Nicodemus is that something

will have to be done about this

troublemaker from Galilee Joseph of.

Arimathea and I are not the only members

of the Sanhedrin who have seen their

wrong in Jesus apart from a few

departures from the Torah a few allow me

I have studied the law longer than any

of you so I begin breaking the sabbath

placing himself above family loyalties

exploiting the words of the prophets

which he knows and quotes without fault

contributing to public panic by

predicting the end of the world

vandalizing the temple and using magic

tricks to seduce gullible people who

need miracles and you see no wrong in

these things if the angel saved isaac

and the walls fell down at Joshua's

trumpet and laws has brought the plagues

on Egypt why shouldn't miracles happen

because those were ancient times and who

knows what happened this is today now

modern times in Jerusalem face reality

we're a conquered people Nicodemus the

miracle we need has nothing to do with

making wine out of water from the

miracles and you know how things get

exaggerated he's done they'd be little

more than most of us have done at one

time or another when was the last time

you claimed to be the Messiah

don't you control your son's Talent.

Aaron please I know forgive me Father

good person gentlemen there was a Roman

officer at the gate awhile ago asking

questions about what he was particularly

interested in Jesus did he say why I

thought you'd like to know so I asked

him and he answered me with a question

where is Yeshua bara Yosef imperfect.

Hebrew would you tell him the truth

what else that I don't know but no Roman

ever believes a Jew

been talking about him for the last hour

have you ever seen him I've also heard

him speak where Jesus crime is not in

his claim that he is Messiah the

prophets tell us to expect one in these

years the blasphemy is in his heresy and

that is so monstrous that even where a a

model Jew and all other respects it

would damn him

whatever see I'm aware of no heresy

because you are not a religious scholar.

Nicodemus heresy the demands the

understanding of the religious scholar

can hardly be serious the voice of the

felissa that's enough better you try to

understand on the day of judgment how

will the one and only God blessed be his

name judge us by our faith in Him no you

are as wrong as he is judgment depends

on what you do the way you conduct your

life every day God judges you for your

honesty your charity your love for your

family your obedience to his law hey

faith in itself is not enough every

every Jew believes in God you have to

work for his judgment Jesus says the

same thing he says to feed the hungry to

clothe the naked to take care of the

sick where is the heresy the heresy is

that he claims the power to forgive sin

only God has that power

he says along with the other radicals

that the Sabbath was made for man and

not man for the Sabbath and in this he

is putting himself above the law which.

God has given us and above all he says

believe in me and you will be saved

don't you understand if if you are a

thief a whore a murderer

if you dishonor your father and your

mother just repent of your sin and he

will forgive you believe in him and you

will be saved not believe in the law

I'm gonna pay the law can be saved but

him he is cutting at the very heart of.

Judaism their old manuscripts and sacred

books predict one just about now no one

really believes in it but since his

arrival signals the end of the world

aspiring messiahs like Jesus tend to

make the Jews a little nervous but is he

a criminal they're lawyers and rabbis

take a poor view of him a strange

feeling have given the proper

encouragement they might even charge him

with blasphemy I don't know

the juhi one must also have violated.

Roman law or at least appeared to answer

there's an old political device Tullius

it's called a fixed trial this report

says that he calls himself King King of

the Jews that's not bad and could be

- ready sedition it's only one King and
- that season.

But what if he is the Messiah how could

he be the Messiah he's not even a good

Jew what if he is wouldn't that put you

Joseph as the spiritual guide of the

Jewish people in a somewhat delicate

position I don't think we should do him

the honor of allowing him to spoil our.

Passover not to divide us any further we

all agree on that

I hope only it's stayed in Galilee

excuse me master a Roman soldier just

brought this he said he'd wait from.

Pilate he wants to see me at once about

the Passover pardon know about Jesus I'm

sorry I stopped to get this it's a list

of the men who traveled with Jesus Oh

what purpose they may try to help him

escape I tried to find out as much about

them as possible they're mostly

several of the others at one time or

another.

Oh Gordon now you know where to get fish

Yehuda ish carry off comes from a family

dispenses the group's money probably the

brightest of the lot I am the high

priest Joseph Caiaphas

yes rabbi I know the procurator is

expecting you come this way please

I'll wait here he'll understand

understand what that our Jew defiles

himself by entering the home of a.

Gentile I'll be back

you say you want no trouble this.

Passover no demonstrations no fighting

in the streets no we don't and why

haven't you arrested him

we can't during Passover why not I've

seen your temple guards arresting

pickpockets pickpockets yes excellency

this is not quite the same thing

I won't even read it and brought to

trial it's against our Lord to convene

the Sanhedrin for a trial on Passover

you're not obliged to call it a trial.

Thank You excellency but it's more

complicated than that

he has a highly volatile following you

mean revolutionary and dangerous besides

we don't know exactly where he is

if Jesus is what you say is you'll have

someone keeping track of things you'll

find him we have warned him to stay away

from the city have you know on pain of

what you know we Jews are not allowed to

carry out the death sentence right you

can only condemn that's an arrangement

that should suit you rabbi the Romans

take the final guilt upon ourselves

how long have you people been doing

business in the court of the temple I've

600 years hmm it's the center of their

daily life much like a forum in Rome you

don't want him to start another riot do

you of course not

he's not gonna go away rabbi I want you

to arrest him find him guilty and turn

him over to me

guilty of what whatever you wish but

find him guilty excellency I must tell

my people something it should satisfy

your people to know that I am doing this

to prevent bloodshed in their city then

why don't you have your troops arrest

him you know Joseph Caiaphas there are a

dozen men who would give anything to be

appointed high priest in Jerusalem I'm

sure there are excellency as many as

covered your office of procurator in.

Judea I will not warn you a second time

why is Jesus so important to you.

I was only thinking of what could

possibly be to our mutual benefit I

apologize but if you could instruct your

troops to do your work for you is that

it our work excellency besides your men

are so much more efficient than mine

alright I'll strike a bargain with you

you find him you arrest him and my

troops will be there to back up your

temple guards how's it hmm tell me do

you people really believe that Passover

story do you really believe that the Red.

Sea parted so that you could escape the.

Egyptian we escaped excellency

your money whose it event if you steal

it no I believe you I'll give it to me

it belongs to other people oh the

friends of mine that's what I thought

and I know the names of at least one of

course I know yours your Judas Judas

I'll carry on no you're mistaken

no I'm not it pointed you out to me the

other day at the temple what do you want

to know who else is in the city Jesus

for instance I don't know where he is I

swear I don't

the one you'll have to convince the high

priest what possible interest can pilot

have in Jesus if anything Jesus has gone

out of his way not to offend the Romans

I know Pilate he has some devious

purpose in this what you said you'd

think you'd be happy to hand Jesus over

to him Jesus is dividing us with his

fanaticism and anyone who divides us

feeds the Romans if I had not listened

to you and his other so-called friends I

would have had him arrested after the

outrage of the temple done what with him

the right thing by my conscience I would

have had him tried for heresy by a

properly convened Sanhedrin Passover

that does that of a question what will

you do measure I'll try to find him and

if you do find him I will do whatever

has to be done even to handing him over

to Pilate yes.

Nicodemus yes the survival of our people

hangs by a very thin thread and I will

- not have it threatened that much for the
- sake of any one man.

We must see the high priest I'm sorry I

can't disturb him

he has guests important guests do what

you're told and quickly

don't worry it's not you they're after

yes

good place that rabbi unto you I have

someone here I think you'd like to see

who is he

he's one of Jesus disciples we spotted

him coming into the city he was alone

yes what is your name

tell him Judas speak up

Judas of Kiriath rabbi bring him in you

say he is not in the city No

then he is outside the city I don't know

he is making his way into the city is he

not his destination Judas you must know

that I don't why do you refuse to tell

us because I love him you also have your

duty as a Jew he fears he has his duty

what he feels is dividing the Jewish

people at a time when it is desperately

important that they act in unity that

has to be stopped

Judas it's painful to betray what you

love do you think that a god-fearing Jew

be it you or any other should lie to his

spiritual leaders good Jesus love no

then do is he what will he do to him

that must be for us to decide

if his destiny is to be betrayed by one

of his own it's right it should fall

upon me I've already committed that sin

in my mind even today he was trying to

tell me and now I understand my only

concern is not to protect myself but him

until the Seder is over it is what he

wants and I have the power to do it by

striking a bargain with you a bargain is

that really what it comes down to I

assure you you will be rewarded for your

service I don't want any reward I can't

tell you where he is because I truly

don't know yet but someone is waiting to

take me to him

and if you detain me any longer that

person will go and I'll have no way of

finding him and if you release me but

insist on having me followed I shall

refuse to go and nothing you can do

before me that much for you will I still

have you're free to go
