The Last Temptation of Christ

The Last Temptation of Christ1988



Jerobeam:
God brought you here, didn't he?

Jesus:
All he brought here is my shame.

Jerobeam:
Shame is also a temptation.

Jesus:
God hunts me. He drives his nails into my heart. He wants to push me over. He wants me to speak. But he didn't touch my lips with burning coals. How can I speak? I sinned.

Jerobeam:
We all sin.

Jesus:
Not my sins. What does He want from me? Can't he see what's inside me? All my sins. I'm Lucifer.

Jerobeam:
Be quiet!

Jesus:
No! I'm a liar. A hypocrite. I'm afraid of everything. I never tell the truth. I don't have the courage. When I see a woman, I blush and look away. But inside I have lust. For God, I smother the lust, and that satisfies my pride. But my pride destroys Magdalene. I never steal or fight, or kill... not because I don't want to but because I'm afraid. I want to rebel against everything, everybody... against God!... but I'm afraid. If you look inside me you see fear, that's all. Fear is my mother, my father, my God.
