“The feeling begins. Very tender, very loving. Then the pain starts....” – Jesus, The Last Temptation of Christ ... Movie Quotes Database

Jesus

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. And I remember. 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.

Jesus God loves me. I know he loves me. I want him to stop! I make crosses so he'll hate me so he'll find another! I want to crucify every one of his messiahs. Jesus You think God belongs only to you? He doesn't. God is an immortal spirit who belongs to everybody, to the whole world. You think you're special? God is not an Israelite. Jesus Today and tomorrow I cast out demons and work cures. On the third day, I will be perfected.
