PILATE
And so the King is once again my guest
And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?

CAIAPHAS
We turn to Rome to sentence Nazareth
We have no law to put a man to death
We need him [bad word] - it's all you have to do
We need him [bad word] - it's all you have to do

PILATE
Talk to me Jesus Christ
You have been brought here - manacled, beaten
By your own people - do you have the first idea
Why you deserve it?
Listen, King of the Jews
Where is your kingdom?
Look at me - am I a Jew?

JESUS
I have got no kingdom in this world -
I'm through, through, through

MOB
Talk to me Jesus Christ

JESUS
There may be a kingdom for me somewhere -
if I only knew

PILATE
Then you're a King?

JESUS
It's you that say I am
I look for [bad word] and find that I get damned

PILATE
But what is [bad word]  Is [bad word] unchanging law?
We both have [bad word] - are mine the same as yours?

MOB [bad word] him

PILATE
What do you mean? You'd [bad word] your King?

MOB
We have no King but Ceasar!

PILATE
He's done no wrong - no not the slightest thing

MOB
We have no King but Ceasar! [bad word] him!

PILATE
He's done no wrong - no not the slightest thing

MOB
We have no King but Ceasar! [bad word] him!

PILATE
I see no reason - I find no evil
This man is harmless so why does he upset you?
He's just misguided - thinks he's important
But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him

MOB [bad word] him!

PILATE
Where are you from Jesus?
What do you want Jesus? Tell me
You've got to be careful -
You could be dead soon - could well be
Why do you not speek when I have your
life in my hands?
How can you stay quiet? I don't believe
you understand

JESUS
You have nothing in your hands
Any power you [bad word] to you from far beyond
Everything is fixed and you can't change it

PILATE
You're fool Jesus Christ - how can I help you?

MOB
Pilate! [bad word] him!
Remember Ceasar - you have a duty
To keep the peace so [bad word] him!
Remember Ceasar - you'll be denoted,
You'll be deported [bad word] him! [bad word] him!

PILATE
Don't let me stop your great [bad word] Die if you want to you misguided martyr
I wash my hands on your demolition
Die if you want to you innocent puppet!
