A scene from The Passion of the Christ 2004
Pilate

Drink?

Pilate

[Jesus does not receive the cup and said no word. Pilate observes Jesus with curiosity] [in Hebrew]

Are you the king of the Jews?

Jesus

[in Latin, surprising Pilate and all the Romans around Jesus]

Does that question come from you, or do you ask me this because others have told you what I am?

Pilate

[continues in Latin]

How can I come up with such a question myself? Am I a Jew? Your priests have delivered you to me and they want me to have you executed. Why? What did you do? Are you a king?

Jesus

[looks at Pilate]

My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, do you think my servants would have allowed those men to deliver me to you in this manner?

Pilate

You are a king then?

Jesus

That is why I was born, to give testimony to the truth. Everyone who hears my voice hears the truth.

Pilate

Truth? What is truth?
[Jesus gives no reply as he gazes at Pilate]
