Quotes:

Judas: I struggle, you collaborate.

Judas: What's good for man isn't good for God!

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.

[after Lazarus has been resurrected]::Saul: How do you feel?::Lazarus: I like the light.::Saul: What was it like? Which is better: Death, or life?::Lazarus: I was a little surprised... wasn't that much difference.::[pause]::Saul: Give me your hand.::[stabs him]

Jesus: Brothers, my old friends! Listen to me! It's me the prophets preached about. God talked to me in the desert; he gave me a secret and told me to bring it to you. Didn't you hear me coming? I ran here to Nazareth, where I grew up, to bring you the news. The word of God is here now.::Voice in Crowd: You work miracles. Make a miracle for us. Make us believe in you. Otherwise, go away.::Jesus: The Messiah doesn't need miracles. He is the miracle. Now he's here. Are you ready for me? I'm here to tear down everything around you, and you know what I'm going to replace it with? Something new: God. The World of God. So take your bread and give it to the poor. What difference does it matter what you own? You have gold and silver? It's going to rot, and that rot is going to eat away your heart. All of you! There will be a flood, and there will be a fire. Everything will be destroyed. But there will be a new ark riding on that fire, and I hold the keys and I open the door, and I decide who goes in and who doesn't. You're my brothers from Nazareth, and you're the first I invite on the ark. Don't wait. Don't waste your life. Come with me.

Jesus: If I could touch every stone, if I could breathe on every branch, they'd get up and follow me. So what's wrong with you?

Jesus: Today and tomorrow I cast out demons and work cures. On the third day, I will be perfected.

Jesus: Judas, my brother, I have something to tell you. I have a terrible secret from God. You know why I came to Jerusalem?::Judas: Yes. This is where the revolution is going to begin.::Jesus: Last night, Isaiah came to me. He had a prophecy, I saw it written. It said, "He has borne our faults; he was wounded for our transgressions, yet he opened now his mouth. Despised and rejected by all, he went forward without resisting, like a lamb led to the slaughter."::Judas: I don't understand.::Jesus: Judas, I am the lamb. I'm the one who's going to do.::Judas: Die? You mean you're not the Messiah?::Jesus: I Am.::Judas: That can't be. If you're the Messiah, why do you have to die?::Jesus: Listen, at first, I didn't understand myself...::Judas: No, *you* listen. Every day, you have a different plan. First it's love, then the ax, and now you have to die. What good could that do?::Jesus: God only talks to me a little at a time and tells me as much as I need to know.::Judas: We need you alive!::Jesus: Now I finally understand! All my life-all my life, I've been followed by voices, by footsteps, by shadows. And do you know what that shadow is? The cross. I have to die on the cross, and I have to die willingly. We have to go back to the temple.::Judas: And after you die on the cross, what happens then?::Jesus: I come back to judge the living and the dead.

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.

Quotes:

Caligula: Enough for now. He's no use to us dead.

Emperor Tiberius: After forty years with Julia, my approaching death holds few terrors for me.

Pontius Pilate: Give me water to wash my hands.

Judas: Why must men doubt? Tell them they must keep faith! They must keep faith! [walking away]::Demetrius: Wait, tell who? Who are you?::Judas: My name is Judas.

Caligula: They're going into a better kingdom! They're going into a better kingdom! They're going to meet their king! They're going to meet their king!

[repeated line]::Marcellus Gallio: Were you... out there?

Demetrius: [to Marcellus] You crucified him. You, my master. Yet you freed me. I'll never serve you again, you Roman pig. Masters of the world, you call yourselves. Thieves! Murderers! Jungle animals! A curse on you! A curse on your empire!

Emperor Tiberius: When it comes, this is how it will start. Some obscure martyr in some forgotten province, then madness. Infecting the legions, rocking the empire, then the finish of Rome.

Diana: [Marcellus has just been sentenced to execution; Diana leaves the podium to stand at his side] Sire, Marcellus is my chosen husband. I wish to go with him.::Caligula: Stand back! You're not on trial! There's no evidence against you!::Diana: Then if it please you, sire, I'll provide evidence. I have no wish to live another hour in an empire ruled by *you*! You dare to call yourself a Caesar. Once the Caesars of Rome were noble, but in you, noble blood has turned to poison. You corrupt Rome with your spite and malice.::Caligula: Stop! Stop it!::Diana: That *you* should be Caesar, vicious, treacherous, drunk with power, an evil, insane monster posing as emperor.::Caligula: STOP IT!::Diana: As for me, I have found another king. I want to go with my husband into his kingdom.::Caligula: Then, by the gods, you shall! Go, both of you, into your kingdom!

Jesus Christ: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
