Barabbas, I'm Judas,
one of Jesus' disciples.

We need to talk.

Listen to me, Barabbas.

The moment has come.

What are you talking about?

God wants us to take up arms.

The messiah chose to die
rather than do that.

You must tell everyone.

You must tell
everyone the truth.

What truth?

That God guided my hand,
that through me he led Jesus to

his death and he did it because
you were the man with the sword.

You, Barabbas.

You are the messiah.

You must tell them.

Shut up.

You must tell them the truth.

Get out of here.

Tell them all.

You must tell him about God,
the God of weapons.

Tell him that he has chosen you,
that Jesus was needed

just to prove that peace
is impossible without violence.

That's why you were there,
why you were saved,

to show the world that
you are the chosen one,

that he wants your sword,
Barabbas.

You're the reason God had me
hand Jesus over

to the priests of the temple.

Because you are the chosen one.

You will be the one to lead
Israel to victory.

Tell him.

Tell who?

Peter.

Come with me.

Go now. Tell him everything.

Peter?

Huh? Oh.

Have you come to kill me?

Kill you? No.

Three times I was afraid,
and I denied him three times.

I was a coward,
just as he predicted.

I offered him my sword
and he refused it

and then he took my
place on the cross.

I am Barabbas.

Barabbas.

His kingdom
is not of this world.

A dead king has no kingdom.

Everything has been
fulfilled as it was written.

Why did he not save himself?

Why was I spared?

Uh...only faith
can answer your question.

Faith? Faith in what?

What faith?

We are still under
the thumb of Rome.

You must have faith in him.

He is a dead man, Peter.

He is not dead
and he is not a man.

God's will has been done.

Father...

...into your hands I
command my spirit.

My son,
what have they done to you?

You must go now.

Please let me stay.

Our orders are to keep
people away.

But what are they afraid of?

I don't know.

I'm following orders.

What do you want?

Isn't what happened
enough for you?

Go away and leave us.

I said go away!

Wait.

What do you want, Barabbas?

Just to talk...to you.

Why did you come to me?

Why did he die in my place?

Because he wanted it
this way.

I don't understand that.

Only faith can answer
your question.

Faith in what?

In him.

If he wanted me to have
faith in him, he would have

taken up the sword against
the Romans.

It's not the sword, Barabbas.

He'll forgive you.

Forgive me for what?

It's not my fault that
they killed your son.

I'm sorry.

I'm just sorry.

You should have died
on the cross.

Not Jesus.

The cross is a symbol
of suffering.

Suffering? Yes.

I can't think of anything
other than his suffering.

Don't touch me, please.

It's over, Claudia.

Over?

He is dead.

He isn't dead.

I wish that were so.

I wish I could tell you
he was alive,

but it's pointless
to deny the truth.

He will return.

What are you saying?

Exactly what he said.

He will.

Esther?

Barabbas!

I'm so happy you're alive.

Let's leave this place,
you and me, right now.

I can't leave.

Why not?

You really don't understand.

You don't understand
why you're still alive?

Nothing will be as it was
before, Barabbas.

Your place is with me.

No.

My life is here with them.

They need me.

But I...I need you.

I need you.

I'll be here
whenever you wish to see me.

Esther, these people
are almost dead.

You staying here makes no sense.

Jesus taught me blessed are
the poor in spirit for theirs

is the kingdom of heaven.

What about our child?

You don't care about him either?

I come to visit him
every evening to pray with him.

What happened?

The day they arrested you,
I fell.

Our son was lost.

Then I understood that the Lord
doesn't want me to have

children, that he wants me
to help the sick and the dying.

He doesn't exist, Esther.

You exist, I exist.

Even our child existed.

I wish I'd protected him
and loved him the way

I can you now, so come
away with me, please.

Gheena is my home now
and then I want to take care

of those who suffer.

Come away with me.

You're the only man
I've ever loved...

but now I owe my life
to Jesus.

This is the house of Lazarus?

I don't know who you're
talking about.

I met Jesus of Nazareth.

My name is Barabbas.

Wait a moment, Barabbas.

I knew you would come.

Well, thank you
for seeing me.

To be honest, I hope
you can help me understand.

What do you need
to understand?

Jesus was condemned to death
for raising me from the dead.

And in dying, he wanted your
life to be saved instead of his.

Why were you and I chosen
so that he could find death?

In the village where
I was born, there was a man,

a doctor, who kept herbs that
were capable of inducing sleep

similar to death.

Perhaps there's nothing
to understand, Lazarus.

That is why I decided not to
meet with any of those

who come here to see me,
to ask me questions,

because I can't
demonstrate anything.

Yet you believe.

I was dead and he
brought me back to life.

If you really were dead,
then I beg you, tell me,

what is this death from which
you say Jesus saved you?

I don't know.

It was like waking up
from a dreamless sleep.

When I opened my eyes,
I was alive.

It was as though I'd come back
from nothing.

That's it?

Nothing?

I ask myself every day
how can I be so sure,

so incredibly sure
that it's all true,

that Jesus really came
and freed me

from the grip of death.

And have you found your answer?

Nothing can convince someone
who doesn't want to believe.

Because there's nothing
to believe.

He will return, Barabbas.

I know he will.

He is dead.

He does not exist.

And the fact
that you're alive,

the fact that I'm alive,
that means nothing

in your opinion?

I am nothing.

I live the life of a thief.

I should have died like a thief.

Why that changed,
I have no idea.

But what I do know is that you,
like so many others who idolize

him, are either deceived
or insane.

I'm sorry.

Jesus was
condemned to death

for raising me from the dead.

And in dying, he wanted your
life to be saved instead of his.

Why were you and I chosen
so that he could find death?

You must tell everyone.

You must tell everyone
the truth.

That God guided my hand, that
through me he led Jesus to his

death and he did it because
you were the man with the sword.

You, Barabbas,
you are the messiah.

That's why you were there,
why you were saved,

to show the world that
you are the chosen one,

that he wants your sword,
Barabbas.

You're the reason
God had me hand Jesus

over to the priests
of the temple.

My kingdom
is not of this earth.

He is not dead
and he is not a man.

You don't understand
why you're still alive?

Nothing will be as it was
before, Barabbas.

Because you are
the chosen one.

You will be the one to lead
Israel to victory.

Barabbas! The Romans
are looking for you again

to put you back in prison.

Gather the men.

I want to talk to them now.

God wanted me to live
instead of Jesus.

Well, from this moment on,
my sword will be at His service

until all of our people
meet their final victory.

The time of false prophecies
has passed.

Soon no one will remember
the name of the Nazarene,

but they will remember--

I have heard that Jesus'
followers have remembered his

sermons and mean to spread his
every word to the four winds.

God wanted Jesus to die,
which is why--

They say he will rise again.

I'm alive here, now.

If God wanted me to live,
it's because

He wants me to
continue the struggle.

Are you saying that you are
the messiah?

I'm ready to do anything
in my power to be worthy

of the task at hand.

Now Rome must know that we are
willing to strike at the heart

of its power at any moment.

What do you want to do?

Kill Pontius Pilate.

This is madness, Barabbas.

Well, those of you who don't
want to, you can pull out now.

Jesus! Jesus!

What is it?

Jesus, his body,
it's gone from the sepulcher!

What do you mean it's gone?

Barabbas, it's happened.

Look.

What's happened?

They say an angel descended
from heaven and he was wearing

a cloak of fire and that he
thrust his spear between

the stone and the rock
and opened the sepulcher.

Jesus has risen from the dead.

What have you done with him?

What do you mean?

You honestly think
that I would believe this?

He is risen.

Jesus has risen from the dead
just as he promised.

Why won't you believe it?

What about the men
guarding the sepulcher?

I've had them locked up
in solitary confinement.

You can see them when you want.

First I want to go there
and see what happened myself.

Pontius! I must go.

I want to see.

Jesus has risen.

You can't stop me.

It's too dangerous, Claudia.

I will not let you risk your
life to follow this madness.

See that my wife
is sent back to her rooms.

Why is it dangerous?

What are you going to do?

I will find those
who violated the tomb

and stole the body.

Nothing can oppose
the will of God.

I will not allow anyone
to threaten the power of Rome.

A body stolen
from right under our noses.

How is that possible?

I have sent the best men
to find and arrest those

guilty of this outrage.

They found him here
this morning.

Did he say he believed that
Jesus came back from the dead?

He was convinced that
Jesus had returned

to seek vengeance against him.

Did he say anything to you?

He said that God told him
to betray Jesus.

God told him?

That is what you get
when you believe in Jesus.

Upstairs.

He is not alone.

How many of them are there?

Three.

You sure he's the right man?

He keeps boasting about
how he arrested the soldiers

guarding the sepulcher.

Try and keep your mouth shut.

I told her my name,
but she forgot.

I can't believe
she forgot my name.

You sent those melons?

I paid for three.

They need names.

Betty, Rosanna, and--

What is all this noise?

Tell us what you know
about the Nazarene's body.

Do you know where
they've hidden it?

No.

Well, what do you know?

I know the soldiers guarding
the sepulcher weren't drunk.

The wine is just
the official story.

Where are they?

They've been isolated
to stop them

from talking to anyone.

Maybe I want to talk to them.

That's impossible.

And next time,
be more careful

about what you tell the whores.

What do you want?

Take off your clothes.

You have to go.

I forgot my sword.

You're lucky
we're not at war.

You. What do you want?

I want to see men
in custody, the ones who were

guarding the sepulcher.

Pontius Pilate's orders.

I've never seen you before.

I'm from Jaffa.

I'm to command an escort
charged with putting them

on a ship to Rome.

Since when is a centurion
allowed to wear a beard?

I'm mourning the death
of my father.

He was killed in an ambush
by zealots.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Hey, I know you.

You're Barabbas--

Come here. Get up.

You're not going to scream
and I'm not going to gut you.

Do we understand each other?

Who are you?

I want to know what happened.

Are you one of them?

One of Jesus' followers?

Were you drunk that night?

No, none of us were drinking.

So what happened?

Did you fall asleep?

Were you attacked?

No.

Then what?

We were blinded.

Blinded?

Suddenly there was a light,
a powerful light,

and we couldn't see a thing.

When I woke up,
the sepulcher was empty.

And that's it? That's it?

Maybe he really was
the messiah the Jews talk about.

They are going to kill them.

Kill who?

All of them,
all who follow him.

Pilate's orders.

Kill the followers
of the Nazarene.

Thank you.

Esther? Esther?

Esther? Esther?

You're Barabbas, aren't you?

Esther told me
so much about you.

Then you know her.

Can you take me to her?

There are so many of us
here now,

Esther has gone to Jerusalem
to bring comfort to the beggars

at the Ghicon springs.

What happened?

Why do you ask?

You must leave this place.

Why? What is it?

They will persecute you.

I don't understand.

The Romans, they fear you.

The scribes and the priests,
they hate you and they will

Now you must hide
and you must stay hidden

till we succeed
in stopping them.

You mustn't be afraid.

Jesus has risen from the dead
and will soon come among us

to free us from death.

Her! For days now,
she's been preaching nonsense,

spreading lies,
idolatry, and blasphemy,

the worst of evils.

I know this woman.

She killed her newborn baby.

It's not true.

I didn't kill my baby.

I didn't kill anyone.

Aah!

Stop it!

Stop!

My Lord God...

You're here.

So this is what
you wanted for me.

This is my testimony.

No.

What curse?

What madness?

What have you done for him?

Is everyone ready?

We're ready.

Then what's wrong?

I don't see Valerio Flacco.

Why isn't he leading the escort?

Well, good.

It'll be easier then.

Are you sure?

As sure as the people
of Jerusalem

who chose me over Jesus.

And I'm also sure that I'm not
going to shrink from my destiny.

I'm with you.

Then in the name of the people
of Judea...

It's over, Barabbas.

You've no idea how much
I'd like to cut your throat,

but one of your gods
must really love you.

Pontius Pilate wants you alive.

If the law made any sense,
he would be crucified

this very day.

But your religious customs
do not allow a man who was

pardoned during Passover
to be executed and the current

political climate in Rome
cannot afford to offend

the religious customs
of the Jewish population.

You will spend the rest
of your life in prison.

You will be given bread
and water every two days.

You will sleep on the bare
stone floor and you will never

see the light of day.

You will know nothing other
than solitude and silence.

You will regret
not being executed.

What do you want?

I know Esther.

Esther's dead.

When? How?

She died for him.

She wanted to bear witness
to him.

The priests, they found her
preaching and they stoned her.

This is the price
she had to pay.

Yes, this is the price
she had to pay.

Can you tell me why
she had to die for him?

Because he overcame death.

His words bring peace.

I don't know such words.

I don't know these words.

Peace? Peace?

I don't know these words
you speak of.

When I was with him--
I was there when he died--

he said nothing to me.

He didn't speak.

Do you know why he didn't speak?

Because he had nothing to say.

Where is she buried?

With our son.

I will pray for you.

Don't you dare say
those words to me.

Get out, please. Just...

Oh, Lord, welcome her
into your kingdom.

Watch over us, dear Esther,
and protect us always.

Can't you leave us in peace?

Claudia!

My love,
who did this to you?

We were praying
at her grave...

Esther.

Esther?

Barabbas's woman.

Barabbas did this?

Not Barabbas.

Promise me you won't hurt him.

I'll never forgive
who did this to you.

Listen to Jesus, Pontius.

His words bring me peace.

No more hate, I beg you.

Promise me.

I promise you.

Barabbas.

What do you want?

Come out.

What do you want with me?

I was hoping
to find you dead.

I couldn't die
until I kill you.

Pilate's been ordered
back to Rome.

How nice for him.

He's ordered you
to the mines of Cypress.

Why?

You're taking
too long to die.

So why don't you
just kill me?

We want you to suffer.

Were it up to me, you'd
have been dead a long time.

I don't understand
all this mercy shown to you.

I never understood it.

Neither have I, believe me.

Good-bye.

Him. Get him.

What?

What did I do?

You see this?

It bears the image
of the emperor.

Whoever wears it
is the emperor's property.

It means you all belong
to the emperor.

But this bears the signs of the
followers of that fool Jesus.

Didn't you know
it belongs to the emperor?

Aah!

This is what happens to those
who betray the emperor of Rome

and swear obedience
to the Jewish God.

Aah!

And this is what happens
to those who fail

to inform me in time.

What happened
to your last partner?

He died.

How?

In the end, they kill us all.

Leave me alone.

What's your name?

Barabbas.

My name is Sahak.

I'm from Pompeii. And you?

Jerusalem.

Jerusalem?

It's the city of Jesus.

What do you know about him?

Did you know him?

Did you hear him speak?

Who told you about him?

Lots of people talk about
him, that he has risen,

that he will return to
deliver us from death.

No one comes back
from the dead.

He was seen by many
after his resurrection.

Jesus asked them to
preach in his name.

He said that those who
believe will be saved.

Give me your disc.

You want to get us both killed?

I'm not afraid.

Jesus is with me.

If they find this on you,
they're gonna kill you and me.

You have to scratch this off.

I can't do that.

It's my faith.

What's this writing?

Greek.

Each letter signifies a word.

It says Jesus, son of God,
our savior.

If you are afraid,
I won't let you risk your life.

Tomorrow morning,
I will report to the overseer.

I will be punished,
but you will be safe.

It's what Jesus
would want me to do.

To himself: It's what Jesus
would want me to do.

It all seems so new.

What is your name?

Esther.

You're a slave
to the violence within you.

Only fools die for gold.

I know what you could become.

You don't understand
why you're still alive?

You do have a destiny.

Nothing will be as it was
before, Barabbas.

You must tell us
how to proceed.

I was dead and he brought me
back to life.

Maybe he really was
the messiah the Jews talk about.

You're the only man
I've ever loved.

Nothing can convince someone
who doesn't want to believe.

I want to talk
to the head overseer.

What do you wanna tell the
head overseer you can't tell me?

I have something to report.

So talk.

Food.

Food? What's wrong
with the food?

They don't get enough of it.

Hear that? He's dissatisfied
with the food.

You want us to work more,
you gotta feed us more.

Eat? Eat? You wanna eat?

Eat!

Eat! Eat! Eat!

Scratch your sign on that.

Why? Do you believe in Jesus?

No.

Then why?

To show them.

You risk your life for that?

Just do it.

This is a sign of peace.

Not for me.

I'm over here.

I'm very disappointed.

You're all so stupid,
scratching your Jesus signs

right where I could find them.

You're stupid,
but there's just so many of you

that to kill all of you
would create

a severe shortage in manpower.

Because I am responsible
for a constant supply of metal

to the emperor that Rome so
desperately needs, I've decided

to be generous and grant you
a chance to redeem yourselves.

All those who renounces Jesus
and renew their oath

in the emperor will be spared.

No.

Aren't you afraid to die?

It isn't fear that matters.

What matters is my faith
in the Lord Jesus.

I renounce Jesus.

You renounce this Jesus
in the name of the emperor?

The emperor's always been
my enemy, but I do not believe

that Jesus is the messiah.

So do you renounce
your faith?

I renounce anyone
who watches his brothers die

without putting up a fight,
who refuses to take up the sword

in defense of what they only
claim to believe in.

That is what I like to hear.

That is what makes a
man worthy of belonging

to the emperor of Rome.

He will live.

Did you hear that?

This is the first time
I've ever heard of a prisoner

surviving the mines of Cypress.

What makes you so special?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Come on!

Make an effort
to deserve your good fortune.

I am seriously beginning to
believe that you are protected

by some god who has very
ambitious plans for you.

Pilate?

When they told me that a
certain Barabbas from Jerusalem

had renounced the Nazarene
for Rome, I wondered

if it really could be you.

I never even dreamed of seeing
you again, Barabbas,

not alive anyway.

Why did you bring me to Rome?

I wanted to satisfy my
curiosity, and if it turned out

to be you, take advantage
of your mysterious good fortune.

I need your help, Barabbas.

You need my help?

There is an ever-growing
community here in Rome.

The words of that man, the
Nazarene, seem to enjoy great

success amongst Romans, too.

Does that include your wife?

Claudia died in Jerusalem.

I'm sorry.

Remove those.

Leave.

I have a niece, Cecilia.

She's at the age when one
is prone to believe

in stupid ideals.

She has decided to follow Jesus.

What does this
have to do with me?

I will give you a new name
and a shop

in the Jewish quarter.

You should have no trouble
finding them.

I want nothing to do
with them.

That's not true.

You too are obsessed by them,
by the need to understand.

Don't you want to know
why you were saved?

Help me find Cecilia, please,
before it's too late.

Bring her back to me and you
will be rewarded, set free.

Free?

Completely free.

A medallion of a free man
and a bag of gold,

enough for you
to start a new life.

You have my word.

The power of Rome is with you,
Barabbas.

Lot? Lot?

Master Achab of Damascus.

He produces the most elegant
fabrics.

No woman would be caught
without his

feather light silks adorning...

What are you drawing there?

A fish. Can't you see?

That doesn't look like
a fish.

Yes, it is.

I've never seen a fish
like that.

I have.

Really? Where?

At my home and also
someplace my mother takes me.

Oh, I don't think
you're telling the truth.

It's true.

Can you tell me
where this place is?

Oh, now you see?

It doesn't exist, and that
is not how you draw a fish.

It exists.

We always go there to pray.

Do you remember
where this place is?

Because I would like
to go there and pray.

Lot. Where have you been?

I've been looking
everywhere for you.

Come.

It's a good price.

No, thank you, my friend.

Do I know you?

I saw you in the marketplace.

What can I do for you?

Actually, it's about the boy.

Did he do something wrong?

No, absolutely not.

So what?

I saw him draw a symbol
on the ground.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I'm from Jerusalem and I was
wondering if anyone here in Rome

heard the talk of Jesus.

I've never heard
of this Jesus.

Well, he says you go
to a place to pray.

The boy?

He might have overheard
something from a friend.

He says he goes there
with you.

You don't have children,
do you?

No.

That's what I thought.

You don't know them.

Actually, I'm looking
for my brothers.

I've no idea what you're
talking about. Good-bye.

If you could just
give me one--

Hello. May I help you?

Sara?

Barabbas?

How are you?

It's very good to see you.

I'm fine.

It's incredible.

The years have not passed
for you.

Oh, yes, they have.

Your memory isn't
what it used to be.

Please, come, sit down.

This is my shop.

I can't.

I'm sorry. I must go.

Even for a moment?

You're very kind,
but I can't.

I'll come again, I promise.

Sara, have you been living
in Rome long?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Well, I'm alone here
and I would like to meet others

who remember his words.

I don't know any of his
believers here in Rome.

Well, as you can see,
I'm doing quite well now.

Perhaps I could donate money
or be of some assistance.

I would like to help.

Mark is one of the
community's busiest disciples.

Peter treats him like a son.

We've all pinned our hopes
on him for the future.

Mark, we have a new brother
with us this evening.

With Peter's help, Mark
is writing the story of Jesus,

his works, his words.

We can never dedicate too
much time to studying his words

and putting his teachings
into action.

Come.

Peter?

Ah, Mark.

My brother.

Peter, we have a new brother
who would like to join

our community.

In the name of Jesus,
I welcome you.

Thank you.

I hope you'll want to be
a guest in our house.

Let's go.

Do you know him?

Jesus sent him.

Are there any Romans here?

Yes, especially the young.

More and more, they're asking
to join our community.

Why do you ask?

Just curious.

Peter lives here?

The curse of the needy.

Night fell and our boat
was in the middle of the lake.

Jesus was ashore alone.

Barabbas, come in.

Come in, please. Sit with us.

I don't want to disturb
your work.

What are you working on?

We're writing of Jesus.

So many people talk about him
and tell so many stories

about him that aren't true.

The important thing is that
everybody knows the truth,

the real truth.

Well, I'm just happy
to be here and listen.

But you were in Jerusalem.

You have seen him,
heard things about him.

Well, I wasn't his friend
nor his follower.

Tell me, Barabbas,
why did you come to Rome?

What do you seek here?

All my life, I had to fight.

Now I seek peace.

It's time you rested.

I found some delicious fruit.

My name is Samira.

I must apologize.

I wasn't polite the other day.

You don't have to apologize.

So difficult to distinguish
friends from those

who wish us harm.

What do you want?

We have orders
to take you with us.

Whose orders?

Pilate wants to see you.

Not now.

Now.

I'll give him a
report tomorrow.

Do you think Pilate
wants to wait?

You'd better come
without a fuss, believe me.

You'd better not force me.

Believe me.

Did you really think
you could fool me?

You made contact with
the followers of the Nazarene.

I know this.

I did what
you asked me to do.

But you agreed
to keep me informed.

You should have come here
and reported to me immediately.

I found out nothing
about your niece.

There is nothing to report.

We are in Rome now, Barabbas.

Your life is in my hands now.

Don't forget that.

And there's nothing,
absolutely nothing,

to stop me from ending it.

So do it.

What are you waiting for?

I lost my wife, Barabbas.

The only family I have left
is my niece Cecilia.

She's the daughter I never had.

I must know she is safe.

I will keep my word.

You will be free.

And when I find out
something, I will tell you.

Tell me where they are,
where they live.

Beyond the walls of Rome
along the Appian Way, there are

caves and that is where Peter
meets his people.

Peter? The disciple?

Yes. That's why so many
Romans attend his meetings,

especially the young
like your niece.

Tell me where Peter lives.

Answer me!

You don't have a niece.

I asked you
where Peter lives.

And I don't know.

You're lying.

Tell your men to find her,
you son of a bitch.

Get out.

What are you gonna do,
arrest them all?

Arresting them just seems
to make them multiply.

Something far more radical
is needed.

The emperor has decided
to burn down the entire quarter

and blame it on them.

The population will hate them
and they will be forced out.

The emperor can be
quite brilliant

in those sort of things.

You're gonna kill them.

You're gonna kill them all.

We may have to kill some
and make sure we give an example

the world will remember
for a very long time.

You bastard!

I promised my wife
I wouldn't kill you.

Get out.

Leave Rome now, Barabbas,
before the Christians

find out what you've done.

Barabbas.

Lot, where's your mother?

Samira.

What's wrong?

Take your son
and leave Rome now.

Why? What?

You are in danger.

All of the followers
of the Nazarene are in danger.

I don't understand.

They're going to
persecute you for the fire.

What fire?

You must believe me.

Please save your son.

So, you...

What have you done?

Barabbas, what is it?

The Romans, they're coming

and they will blame
you for the fire.

We were expecting that.

We've already taken steps.

We convinced Peter to leave
with a group of women and

children and we've already sent
out a warning to the others

to meet us at the caves.

Caves?

No. You must stop them.

Don't worry,
we'll be safe there.

No, you won't be safe.

You won't be safe here.

You won't be safe anywhere.

Now please come with me. Now.

You...you told them
where we hide.

It was the greatest
mistake of my life.

You're gonna kill my son.

You'll kill my son.

You. I knew it the
first time I saw you.

Stop. It's God's will.

God doesn't want
to kill my son.

He doesn't understand.

Hurry. We've no time to lose.

I didn't know
what they were going to do.

We must warn the others.

I'm sorry. I didn't know
what they were going to do.

Lord, where are you going?

To Rome, to die once again
on the cross.

Barabbas, look.

Look at what you've done.

You're killing all of us.

You're killing my son.

How can you live with it?

Peter, I don't understand.

What are you doing here?

Jesus came to me.

He wants me to bear witness to
his life, to his resurrection.

Let me go in your place.

I can't bear the weight.

Please let me go in your place.

Take the life that he gave me
when he died on the cross.

That's not what
he wants from me.

Well, what does
he want from me?

Please tell me.

If you're so sure you know
his will, tell me.

I do not know.

Well, who does if you don't?

Stop asking yourself that,
Barabbas.

Open your heart to faith.

There is only shadows
in my heart.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Open your heart and
don't be afraid,

so you'll find the light.

Light?

Die. Go die for him.

Take every trace of Jesus
and his words with you.

Oh, out of my way.

Out of my way.

Now what do you want
from me, Barabbas?

I was saved that day
by the sacrifice of Christ.

I want to repay that sacrifice,
my life for another.

Get out before I regret
not having you killed.

Listen to me, Pilate.

You can't negotiate
with Rome.

I'm not negotiating
with Rome.

I'm talking to you.

Do you think
that makes a difference?

Yes, I do.

your heart is still that
of a man no less so than mine.

But here in this room,
I can kill you.

You don't have that freedom.

You gave me freedom when you
gave the people

of Jerusalem a choice.

Don't you remember?

That was a long time ago.

Rome will never defeat
the Christians by killing them.

I know this.

You know it, too.

I only ask you to finish
what you had started.

I ask you in the name
of your wife Claudia.

Don't you dare say her name.

I ask you in the name
of everything she believed in.

Claudia wanted to be
a mother.

It was her failure to have
a child that threw her into such

depths of pain and madness.

His words bring peace.

That is what she said to me
when she visited me in prison.

In the name of the woman
you loved, Pilate,

let me help others find
peace in those words.

Let me help them find a cure
for their unhappiness.

And who do you want me
to free in your place, Barabbas?

Which one is Peter?

Do what I tell you.

It's God's will.

You are young.

Tell the world.

Come on!

No! No!

You can't do this.

That's him.

Why?

It's God's will,
your destiny.

Go in peace, Barabbas.

My destiny is fulfilled.

Oh, Lord...

receive my soul.
