Simon Peter: [Peter is drunk] Andrew. Andrew, I'm not like you. I'm not a follower of priests and prophets; I'm a fisherman. I've got my family to think of. You followed the Baptist, now follow this one...::Philip: [grabbing Peter's Arm] Peter!::Simon Peter: [wresting free] Just leave me alone! Why did you bring Him here to me? [grabbing his net] *This* is my life! My nets... my boat. [shouting] Go on! Follow Him! But leave me!::Andrew: Come on, you can't talk to him when he's like this.

This is the greatest commandment.::Jesus Christ: You have said well. You are not far from the Kingdom of God, Joseph of Arimathea. But there is another commandment, no less greater: you must love your neighbor as yourself.

Simeon: [seeing the Baby Jesus for the first time] Now I can die contented, Lord, according to Thy will. [gently, to the Virgin Mary] And a sword shall pierce your heart.

Herod Antipas: John if I set you free, what would you do with your freedom?::John the Baptist: I would follow the one whose way I have prepared, like so many others who already follow him, but you will not set me free.
