The Last Temptation of Christ1988

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.
