A scene from The Passion of the Christ 2004
Satan

Do you really believe that one man can bear the full burden of sin?

Jesus

Shelter me, O Lord, I trust in you. In you I take my refuge.

Satan

No one man can carry this burden, I tell you. It is far too heavy. Saving their souls is too costly. No one. Ever. No. Never.

Jesus

Father, you can do all things. If it is possible, let this chalice pass from me... But let your will be done, not mine.

Satan

Who is your father? Who are you?

Caiphas

They say you're a king. Where is this kingdom of yours? What line of kings do you descend from? Speak up! You're just the son of some obscure carpenter, no?

Annas

Some say you're Elijah, but he was carried off to Heaven in a chariot!

Caiphas

Why don't you say something? You've been brought here as a blasphemer! What do you say to that? Defend yourself.

Jesus

I have spoken openly to everyone. I've taught in the temple where we all gathered. Ask those who have heard what I have to say.

Temple Guard

Is that how you address the high Priest? With arrogance? [strikes Jesus]

Jesus

If I have spoken evil, tell me what evil I have said. But if not, why do you hit me?

Annas

Yes, we'll listen to those that have heard your blashpemies. Good! Let's hear them!

Accuser

He cures the sick by magic! With the help of devils! I've seen it. He casts out devils, with the help of devils.

Accuser

He calls himself the king of the Jews!

Accuser

No, he calls himself the Son of God! He said he would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days!

Accuser

Worse! He claims he's the Bread of Life! And if we don't eat his flesh or drink his blood, we won't inherit eternal life.

Caiphas

Silence! You're all under this man's spell. Either offer proof of his wrongdoing or be quiet!

Nicodemus

This entire proceeding is an outrage. All I've heard from these "witnesses" is mindless contradiction!
