Rabbi

That is blasphemy.

Jesus

Didn't they tell you? I am the saint of blasphemy. Don't make any mistakes, I didn't come here to bring peace, I came to bring a sword!

Rabbi

Talking like that will get you killed.

Jesus

Me, killed? Listen to me. This temple will be torn down in three days, torn down to the ground!

Jesus I wish there was another way, but there isn't. I have to die on the cross. Judas I won't let you die. Jesus You don't have a choice. Neither do I. Remember, we're bringing God and man together. They'll never be together unless I die. I'm the sacrifice... Forget everything else, understand that. Judas How will you ever pay for your sins? Jesus With my life, Judas. With my life. I don't have anything else. Jesus You're here to trick me. The Cobra/Satan Trick you? To love and care for a woman, to have a family? This is a trick? Why are you trying to save the world? Aren't your own sins enough for you? What arrogance to think you can save the world. The world doesn't have to be saved: save yourself. Find love Jesus I have love.
