"What are you doing?" "Thomas!" "THOMAS" "Thomas!" "Thomas!" "Wait!" "Where are you going?" "It's dangerous!" "Thomas!" "Stop!" "Let go of me!" "Stop!" "Thomas!" "It's over!" "There's nothing you can do for Him!" "It's too late!" "I have to see Him, Let go of me!" "Thomas!" "May God forgive us all!" "What did they do to You?" "What did they do to You?" "What did they do to You?" "Come on!" "Keep moving!" "Jesus!" "Hurry up!" "We haven't got all day" "Come on!" "Come one!" "Move, We must be gone by nightfall." "slow down, Jew." "What is this?" "What's going on?" "Thomas!" "What have they done to You?" "You're here at last!" "Joanna... at last...." "Where are the others?" "I don't know..." "Jesus." "What have we done to You?" "What have we done to You?" "What have we done to You?" "Hurry, I said!" "No!" "No." "Come on!" "No!" "Don't touch Him." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "You don't know what you've done!" "Get on with it!" "Go!" "Where do we go?" "This way!" "There's a new tomb for my family." "But we don't have much time," "The Sabbath is about to begin," "quickly!" "Take Him inside." "They've killed the Master!" "They killed Jesus!" "The Romans killed Jesus." "Keep them away." "They killed Him!" "They killed a just man." "It's time to join forces." "The time for liberation has come!" "follow me!" "Fight at my side." "What are you waiting for?" "Arrest him, Caius." "follow me!" "It's time to act!" "Death to Romans." "Mary." "please, Thomas." "We have to close the tomb and leave." "No." "We can't just leave Him here." "We couldn't save Him." "We have to give Him a proper burial at Ieast." "I know, but not now." "Come on, please." "We must go, Thomas!" "Come on." "Let's go!" "quickly, close the tomb!" "Veturius!" "PiIate's men are coming." "Go!" "Take the women away." "We have to leave!" "Now." "I don't know who you are, but..." "I'm not leaving the Master here." "Don't think only of yourself." "Dying is the easiest way out." "Come one!" "Go!" "Look at his mother." "Look at the others." "They need your help." "Take them somewhere safe, please." "What are you waiting for?" "Are you mad?" "Get him out of here before I change my mind." "Come on!" "I'm not leaving you, Master." "Thank you." " Idiot!" "call yourself a Roman soldier?" "AII in order, sir." "AII in order?" "Where's that damned zeaIot Barabbas?" "Maybe the wrong man was crucified." "PiIate is the judge of that." "You'II come with us." "And the dead man's followers?" "Gone." "They left among the crowd." "You let them escape." "You must arrest them all!" "Whoever is to blame for this revolt." "Search for them." "You'II camp here over night." "Some of them may be foolish enough to come back." "At your orders." "I said you have to come with me." "Where can we go?" "We don't know the city." "I don't know." "We'II find a place." "Let's go to the house where we last had supper with the Master." "It's that way." " Come on, Iet's go!" "John." "Come one, Mary" "Come here!" "Come and entertain a poor lonely soul." "Leave her alone." "This way." "You're here!" "John!" "James!" "Thank God, you're alive, my brother." "Where were you all?" "Where were you all?" "We were here, Thomas." "Are you hurt, Thomas?" "No, it's not my blood." "This is His." "Roman beasts!" "What did they do to Him?" "How did we let it happen?" "Thomas, we're all as pained as you are." "He called us friends." "We ate at his table." "This is the bread he broke for us." "We are the beasts." "What did we do for Him?" "We ran." "We lied." "I denied him three times, just like he said I would." "I was scared." "Peter, brother." "Brother." "Peter." "What about you?" "I was there too late." "This is all that was left." "Are we all here?" "AII of us, but Judas." "Judas hanged himself." "Why did he do that?" "How could he do that?" "Judas!" "What has he done?" "He handed Him over to our enemies." "With a kiss." "And somebody is going to betray us too." "They know our names." "They're on this list that pilate has put up all over the city." "We are wanted for sedition and treason." "We have to get out!" "Now." "We must go back to GaIiIee." "You're right." "In GaIiIee we can leave in peace." "Peace?" "Peace?" "How can you say that... after all that happened here?" "Have you forgotten that Jesus lies in a stranger's tomb?" "Nome of us has forgotten, Thomas!" "We are here because we followed Him." "well then, we can't abandon Him now, can we?" "We can't let a few Romans stand in our way." "We have to give Him a proper burial." "I don't think Jesus would want any of us to die." "Is that what you think, Peter?" "Fine." "I'II go by myself." "Master, I shall never abandon you." "I swear I won't" "Wash yourself, Thomas." "You believed in Him." "He knew that." "Yes and now He lies on a cold slab of stone." "I know how much you miss Him." "There's nothing you can do." "You have to accept it." "No." "I have to go to his tomb." "Thomas, you can't!" "It's a sin!" "I have to find a way to get Him out of there." "Thomas, it's dangerous." "Don't go by yourself." "Ask the others." "Maybe some of them will come with you." "I will." "No, Joanna... this is my task." "It was in their plans." "An excuse for insurrection against the power of Rome." "I should have let Him rot on His cross." "A Jewish prophet... a Passover." "Before the eyes of thousands from the city walls?" "We simply removed the body to pacify the crowd." "Pacify the crowd?" "There was practically a revolt here." "Now, Joseph, you gave them your family sepuIcher." "Why would you to that?" "You are a Jew." "Yes, and I'm proud to be a Roman citizen as well." "He was with them at the Nazarene's cross." "Why?" "What was He to you?" "He's a stranger." "But the Iaw of the Jews prescribes mercy." "So, you have seen these men." "You will recognize them." "Where are they now?" "." "I don't know." "I don't know them." "I've never seen them before." "Your name is on the list, Joseph of Arimathea." "The list of Jesus' followers." "They are wanted for sedition and treason." "I don't see it here." "well..." "shoud it be?" "Of course not." "They abandon their leader in your care." "They vanish without a word." "Are you protecting them?" "I told you." "I don't know them." "Oh, but you will." "You gave them your tomb." "They will come to you." "And when they do, you will tell me, will you not?" "But I must warn you... if anything else happens at the tomb, I will... hold you personally responsible." "Nothing must happen to the body of the Nazarene." "You can go now." "I knew you'd be a fool enough to come back here." "Arrest me then." "They don't want you alive." "What are you waiting for, Longinus?" "You want to die, don't you?" "But don't think I'm going to grant it to you." "killing a fool brings bad luck." "Get out of here." "You're helping us, Longinus." "Today you let us escape." "This is none of your concern." "And I wouldn't count on it a third time." "Go!" "I'm sick of you damn GaIiIeans... your wizards and prophets." "You're afraid." "Who are you scared of?" "The man you crucified?" "Or is it remorse?" "Come one!" "You struck him." "You can strike me." "Centurion!" "Who goes there?" "It was just an animal, Caius." "Go back to sleep." "If you're not going to kill me, you're going to help me." "I'm not moving from here until you let me take His body." "You're mad!" "I can't help you." "Go to your priests at the temple." "Caiaphas?" "I'd rather cut my arm off than ask him for help." "He opposed my Master from the beginning." "But..." "Joseph of Arimathea might help you." "Who's he?" "Who gave you this tomb." "Few have more influence over the Sanhedrin than he does." "He won't be hard to find." "He has a big house in the upper part of the city." "An animal?" "What kind of animal, Longinus?" "And does it have a name?" "You heard me... an animal." "But since you're here." "You keep guard." "I'm going to sleep" "A two-Iegged animal." "But it's time to harvest your lies, Longinus." "My friend?" "I'm looking for Joseph of Arimathe's house?" "That way." "Thank you." "One of those followers is going to Joseph of Areathea's house." "Right." "What do you want?" "I'm looking for Joseph." "welcome." "Do come in." "Can I offer you something to eat or to drink?" "Can I be of any help?" "I'm a wanted man." "As are all the Nazarene's disciples." "Come." "Did anyone follow you?" "Was anyone outside when you arrived?" "Just a poor beggar." "So, what can I do for you?" "We have to move the Master's body tonight." "But the tomb is guarded." "You know that." "Yes, but you're a member." "of the Sanhedrin." "tell them you have PiIate's order." "They'II believe you." "That is not a good idea." "First you offer to help..." "then you back off." "It's not that." "No." "I understand." "You have a Iot to lose." "You're rich." "Quite rich, yes." "The Master said..." ""It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle... than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven", I heard him." "I still find it hard to believe, that you could be one of us." "But you ask for His body." "Why?" "That's of little importance now." "You must save your own lives." "No." "We're not leaving until we can take the Master's body." "You're stubborn." "They'II arrest us and I won't be able to help you." "You don't have to help us." "help Him." "I'II talk to Caiaphas." "He'II never agree to this." "He will, if he finds it convenient." "I'II come with you." "No, it's too risky." "I know." "For you too." "I don't know your name." "Thomas." "Thomas of Capernaum." "Caiaphas!" "And remember, no matter what I say, don't say a word." "Joseph, what is it?" "One of the Nazarene's followers came to my house." "Crossing out one of the names on pilates list will appease him." "I've not come here to be made a fool of." "We want the Master!" "He's ours!" "Joseph, how dare he speak to me like this?" "This man's insolence is no great matter... as long as the Nazarene's body remains in jerusalem... no one can assure us there won't be a revolt." "You could be right." "The body can't stay where it is." "Another place must be found." "And the further... the better." "GaIiIee!" "GaIiIee was our Master's house." "That's where He should be buried." "And JerusaIem would be left in peace." "Listen... if you were to leave this city and disband." "We could well be tempted to forget all about you." "No, we cannot forget the word of Jesus." "The Master lives on." "He was anointed by the Lord." "Of course he was a king." "Greater than David himself." "But tell me, did he free israel from the yoke of Rome?" "Did he bring in his kingdom?" "No he failed on every count." "An impostor." "It's over now." "Jesus is dead." "But an act of clemency confirms your reputation among the people." "True." "And I'm sure that pilate would be grateful to see his problem solved." "You want the body... and I can see to it that you have it." "But first I must speak to Pontius PiIate." "You're a good liar." "a true merchant." "You should learn how to hold your tongue." "We're lucky we're walking out of the temple on our own two feet." "Who are you, Joseph?" "A disciple in disguise?" "A friend of Jesus and of his enemies?" "Whose side are you on?" "Does it matter?" "You're still alive and you got what you wanted." "I found Joseph, the owner of the tomb." "We went to Caiaphas and..." "Caiaphas?" "Thomas!" "Don't you know that Caiaphas paid witnesses to lie about the Master." "Maybe he bought him too." "What did you say?" "That you're a traitor." "Like Judas was." "Simon!" "Thomas!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Simon!" "Simon!" "Thomas is no traitor." "He's just stubborn." "Thomas, none of us should be drawing attention." "You know that!" "Yes, I took my risk, but it was..." "You put our lives in danger." "Everyone's." "What should we do, Peter?" "We should leave." "immediately." " We should wait." "Wait?" "Wait for what, John?" "Don't be so impulsive." "The Master said: "Let not your hearts be troubled... in my father's house, there are many rooms."" "Did the Master tell you secretly?" "Did He leave you a map... so you could find Him in the kingdom to come?" "You must seek inside yourself." "Where?" "Where?" "Why don't you stop considering only what you can touch?" "Like this?" "should I forget what Jesus suffered?" "No!" "No!" "Stop it!" "Thomas!" "Thomas!" "Brother, listen to me!" "I know how much you've suffered, brother!" "But torturing ourselves will not put an end to our suffering." "We must learn to feel His presence... which is inside each of us... the Spirit of the Son of God." "What God would allow that to happen to his only son?" "Thomas!" "Mary." "Why don't you understand me?" "I Ioved our Master as much as you did." "We have to honor His memory." "That's why I went to Caiaphas." "Caiaphas is willing to let us take the body back to GaIiIee." "We're going to get him back home!" "How can this be?" "It's a trap!" "To bring us out into the open." "They'II arrest us at the tomb." "The women... the women have already gone to the tomb, to embalm him." "Are we cowards?" "Leaving the women go." "calm down!" "!" "Nothing can happen to them." "They're not on the list." "Mary!" "What's happened?" "Where are the others?" "Were you attacked?" "The Master..." "Speak Mary!" "Speak!" "He's gone!" "What go you mean He's gone?" "He's gone." "His body is no Ionger there." "They've stolen our Master's body?" "Who has?" "I don't know." "The tomb was forced open." "What about the guards?" "There was no sign of them." "You see how much their word was worth?" "You've been tricked!" "Where are the others?" "They're still there." "Let's go!" "Wait here." "If we don't come back leave tonight!" "Don't look for us." "Thomas!" "You can't stop me from going with them." "Joanna!" "Joanna, are you all right?" "Did you see anyone?" "No one." "Are you sure?" "You must have seen someone." "The priests?" "The Romans?" "The zealots?" "No one Thomas." "No one." "Come on." "It's true." "He's not here." "Can't you feel the peace?" "It is as if death was gone from this place." "It took some strength to do this." "They wanted to humiliate Him... to destroy Him, even in death." "There's no blood." "No sign of a struggle." "Nothing." "And the guards?" "They just run off." "So it seems." "They take His body, but leave the shroud." "Graves-robbers!" "No!" "There was nothing to steal." "The Master was here." "He was worth more than anything." "Yes." "That's why we must look for Him." "AII that trouble, Thomas..." "At least I'm trying to do something, John!" "Maybe we should just remember His words." "He never lied to us." "I'm not doubting His word." "Are you sure, Thomas?" "The Romans might come back." "We should go." "He thinks he always knows everything." "Each of us will remember the Master in his own way." "They could be watching us now!" "." "Let's go!" "Let's go, John!" "Let's go!" "The Sanhedrin and the Romans are afraid that He will be remembered." "Without His body, who can say He ever existed?" "When we speak of Him who's going to believe us?" ""foolish, but determined"." "That's what Joseph of Arimathea said of us." "Did you tell him where we are hiding?" "No." "I'm sorry, Thomas." "You trusted a friend of the Romans." "Where's Joseph?" "Joseph is not here." "He's been called to the palace by Pontius PiIate." "A traitor." "help me, sir." "please!" "I've nothing to eat." "Here." "Thank you." "You're a generous man." "So you still haven't had enough?" "The light..." "I've never seen so much..." "Iight." "You're keeping us waiting!" "Everywhere." "Take him away." "Make sure he speaks to no one." "He's mad." "And dangerous." "You say you had no contact with the group of followers." "And no knowledge of last night." "I already told you I know nothing about it." "You've lying." "We had you followed." "And you?" "Are you willing to tell me the truth?" "Yes." "Procurator." "Yes!" "Good." "We shall go to the tomb." "Take them both." "Woman." "Master." "Why are you crying?" "Who are you looking for?" "Master." "Mary." "Did you break your leg?" "Go away!" "Leave me alone." "I'm sure I was followed." "So they know we are here?" "I managed to loose him." "Mary!" "What's happened to you?" "I've seen him." "Who did you see?" "The Master." "You saw His body?" "He's alive, and spoke to me." "He spoke to you?" "Are you sure?" "Where was it?" "I went back to the tomb." "I was desperate." "It was Him..." "He asked me to bring back the news to His brother." "He has risen." "Come back from the kingdom of death." "Like Lazarus." "He could be?" "Did you touch Him?" "I embraced His feet." "But He told me to come back to you." "Peter, this can't be true." "Wait, Simon, wait!" "You don't believe me?" "It wasn't a dream!" "I saw Him." "He called my name!" "Maybe it was a man who knew you and... wanted to make a fool out of you." "It was the Master." "You know He promise to return." "Yes." "I also know how much we all long for it." "But Mary, if He came back He would come back... to Peter or to John, or Simon, or to His mother." "Or even to me." "Mary, why would the Master come back to you first?" "Brother, where is your heart?" "Has it left with your faith?" "AII of this, has been prophesied." "Master!" "Master!" "Is that you?" "Speak to me!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "please don't leave me again!" "Joanna!" "Why were you following me?" "You were listening." "Yes." "But now I know... you believe." "You believe He's still with us." "I wish it was so easy." "But I can't." "I can't until He answers me." "Then you should confide in Him." "You don't know how much I miss Him." "You can't imagine how much I miss Him, Joanna." "He'II comfort you, Thomas I know He will." "This way." "It's just here." "Come on!" "Move!" "It's Joseph." "Come on, Caius, speak up!" "What happened?" "He ordered us, to rest." "while he stood, first guard." "We were sleeping by the fire when we were overwhelmed by a band." "Who were they?" "well, the dead man's foIIIowers." "Us?" "could you recognize them?" "It was dark, but I saw Longinus speaking to one of them." "And I recognized him as a follower." "Then when they took the Nazarene's body out of the tomb." "I heard them shout His name like a war cry" ""Jesus!" "Jesus!"" "That's outrageous!" "You fell asleep on duty!" "You'II be lucky if we won't have you crucified." "Get out of my sight!" "Move!" "Are you read to talk to talk to me now?" "." "I've answered your questions." "It's all I know." "You dare speak to the Procurator of Rome like that, Jew?" "." "If you acted out of compassion, you made a big mistake." "These people haven't rapaid your trust." "Why would they steal the body?" "A call for rebellion." "They want to create a martyr here." "And you are one of them." "I am not." "This is absurd!" "really?" "Why does Caiapahas tell me that you came to him with one of them... and asked him for permission to remove the body?" "That is true." "It's important to know what's on these people's minds." "You haven't understood their purpose yet yourself." "apparently you have very well." "tell me where they are and what they've done with the body." "I have no idea." "When we left the temple, the man ran away and I've never seen him." "You are still lying to me." "A few more days in a Roman dungeon and you'II beg us to hear you out." "Right." "Come on!" "It's all lies." "Why?" "That's what I'm going to find out." "Come!" "Why would they invent all that?" "First they hide the body, then they give us the blame." "To make us look like bandits, Iike zealots." "The others were right." "We've been fool." "Caiaphas laid a trap." "I have to speak with Joseph of Arimathea..." "I'm sure he knows much more than he admits." "But he's locked in PiIate's dungeons." "You work in the palace, don't you?" "You can help me." "What's the matter Joanna?" "I have been thinking about what Mary said..." "I believe her." "As you Iike, It doesn't matter." "I'II get in there with or without you." "Thomas, all right, I'II help you." "Come tonight." "No." "Tomorrow morning." "I'm going to the temple to pray... tell my brothers I won't let them down." "And believe me I'm going to bring back the Master... or I'II die looking for him." "And what if He risen?" "Then I'II have no fear of dying." "Give thanks israel... for our liberation from heresy... from the heresy of the Nazarene." "And pray... pray israel!" "That His followers be judged." "They stole His body." "They wish to perpetuate His memory." "His infamous memory.... for generations to come." "That's a lie Caiaphas!" "We didn't take Him." "He was our Master." "You know who took Him." "You sold Him to the Romans." "How much did PiIate give you?" "How many insults can you take JerusaIem?" "How many curses can you put up with?" "We loved our Master." "Look!" "Look!" "This is the shroud we laid Him in." "We didn't take His body!" "You don't have to take my word for it." "You can come and see for yourselves." "Come and have a look!" "The tomb was violated last night by vandals." "No!" "Stop him!" "Stop him!" "Come on!" "Come to with me!" "Stop him!" "Stop him!" "Where are you going?" "Attack them?" "Brave talk, friend!" "almost as rousing as ours." "Barabbas." "So, you remember me?" "How could I forget?" "I have nothing to do with you." "If you'd fought at our side, your Master would still be alive." "My Master could have saved himself." "He dind't want to." "He chose to die, you say?" "Maybe He chose well." "He's certainly more useful to cause dead than alive." "You don't know it yet, but you're dead too as dead as your Master." "My Master was a prophet." "You refused to listen to the word." "israel has too many prophets!" "We need warriors!" "Your Nazarene said he was preparing a new kingdom." "We were armed and ready for the oppressor but..." "He dind't want to fight." "And that's why He died." "You should have been crucified instead is Him." "A brave man!" "I respect you!" "You'd better than Him!" "You're one of us!" "The struggle continues and the time is ripe." "His body is gone and the people are up in arms." "You took His body, dind't you?" "We're warriors, not vultures." "Who did it then?" "The crows, the worms, who cares?" "I do!" "I've lost many friends, I know how you fell." "But the dream is over." "It's time to act." "The people love me." "jerusalem will soon be ours." "Join us!" "You and the others." "It's your only chance to survive." "Jesus, please!" "Give me a sign!" "Give me a sign!" "I need a sign." "Thomas, here you are!" "Take this!" "What about the guards?" "Don't you worry, they don't pay any attention to the servants." "We must keep our eyes open!" "Be vigilant!" "Bejamin?" "Yes?" "Thomas this is Benjamin." "He's a friend." "He can help you get into the prison." "Come!" "This way." "Quiet!" "This is the place." "He's in here." "Joseph!" "Thomas!" "What are you doing here?" "That doesn't matter!" "I know why you're here." "I've come to ask you something." "Why did you take me to Caiaphas?" "You still don't trust me, do you?" "If I were on their side I wouldn't be here, would I?" "I thought Caiaphas had some degree of independence." "I was wrong." "You took us straight into a trap." "I didn't." "Caiaphas was with us at first." "Are you trying to tell me they fooled you too?" "Yes." "Do you believe what the soldiers said at the tomb?" "How do you know about that?" " I was there, I heard." "They were just saying what they'd been told to say." "By whom?" "PiIatos is concealing something." "The story of the centurion..." "Longinus didn't please him." "Do you think Romans took Jesus's body?" "I don't think so." "Why would they flog their own men?" "But it wasn't Barabbas, I spoke to him." "You have to come with us!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "well, Caiaphas?" "Another provocation from the disciple... of the Nazarene and Barabbas." "And what do your men do?" "noble PiIate!" "They wait for us to arrive." "It's a delicate moment, and at the temple I..." "I should have crucified Barabbas along with the Nazarene." "Hasty action in jerusalem would have gone up in flames!" "Give me peace, Caiaphas!" "Or this city may still burn to the ground." "The body's gone and the people are restless." "We'II soon have another insurrection on our hands." "Now... where is the body?" "I think you know where." "Vetutius." "I had nothing to do with it, nor did His disciples." "So you are one of them." "You admit it?" "Yes." "I'm one of them." "well... and we've got you right where you belong, haven't we?" "Back to his cell, where he may rot." "Go!" "But I should warn you that Nazarene's followers have... begun to spread a rumor." "That we stole the body ourselves?" "No." "That their so-caIIed Messiah has risen from the dead." "Risen from the dead!" "These people will believe anything." "We advise you to send your centurion away from jerusalem." "If these stories should spread, we'II see no end of them." "You deal with your own people, Caiaphas!" "Longinus is in no position to harm anyone." "I've done my duty." "Forgive me, Joseph!" "It's all my fault." "I'm going to get you out of here." "Don't think about me." "They're going to torture you." "Be patient, Thomas." "A little while longer, and all will be clear." "will it?" "Jesus is dead." "We've lost." "We can't wait for a miracle." "You don't believe in miracles?" "I believe Jesus could have conquered the world..." "I don't believe He can conquer death." "Conquer death...?" "A woman says... she saw Him by His tomb." "Is she telling the truth?" "We're all distraught." "I think she thinks she saw Him." "Trust me Thomas, this isn't over." "There's more to come." "quickly!" "This way!" "No." "There he is!" "That's him!" "Don't let him scape!" "The soldiers are coming." "Get out of the way!" "Don't let him get away!" "This way." "Did you speak with Joseph?" "Yes." "I have to get to Longinus, before he gets killed." "Be careful, Thomas." "Don't let them catch you." "I'II do my best." "May the Lord help you find yourself." "Do you want to come with me?" "I'II give you a good price." "No one wants me anymore." "AII they ask is girls of 1 2 or 1 3." "Keep it." "Listen, what's this strange story... about a disappearing body?" "Are you joking?" "It's all they are talking about in the city." "Now they say they've tortured Longinus, PiIate's centurion." "Longinus." "Do you know him?" "Of course I know him." "The Romans say he's gone out of his mind, but I don't believe it." "And where is the centurion now?" "." "No one knows, friend." "No one knows." "What about the other soldiers that were there at the tomb?" "There's Caius,he's first officer." "They've flogged him too." "I bet you could find him in the baths after that." "By the gods!" "I swear I'II kill someone if I'm not seen to now." "Easy." "Easy." "Bastard." "Pontius pighead PiIate!" "Twenty-five years service and what did he get me?" "The bastards could have killed me." "AII right, Caius is going to look out for his own interests now." "There's no justice in this world." "Jesus of Nazareth..." "They tire you out whipping Him, two hours flogging." "That's work, hard labor, you know?" "." "And then they put you on crucifixion detail." "With no food in your belly." "I'm not lying." "Look at me, I'm skin and bones." "And then they make you guard His tomb all night." "And if you doze off... then they whip you just for good measure!" "It's not fair!" "Why me?" "The Gods must have an end for poor old Caius." "Maybe it was His God." "You whipped Him?" "I'm a Roman soldier he's a Jewish criminal." "A criminal." "Even worse than the rest of them... one who wants to be pitied." "Like Longinus... he got his... for being a sympathizer." "Longinus." "What happened to Longinus?" "Curious, aren't we?" "It's just that... everybody says that he knows where Jesus's body disappeared to." "Too curious for this not to be personal." "You!" "I saw you at the tomb." "You're one of the Nazarene's followers." "Don't!" "It's just a matter of business." "There's a Iot in it for you if... you give me the right information." "well, I'II even sell you the body, if that's what you want." "I'II give you whatever you ask for." "well, don't exaggerate." "It's just a corpse." "This evening in front of the catacombs... bring gold!" "Fresh vegetables!" "Look at these." "Let me see those." "My price is generous!" "Brothers!" "Thomas!" "You're back!" "Where have you been?" "Mary, I've found Him." "I'm going to get Him tonight." "Thomas!" "Joanna!" "I've found Him!" "I'm going to get Him tonight." "Thomas... we've seen Him." "Right here..." "He's alive." "He's returned." "The master has risen as He promised." "He's truly the Son of God." "No, wait!" "I was..." "We all saw him!" "And He spoke to us." "Why?" "Where?" "When?" "In this room, at dusk, just after you left as we were... breaking bread, exactly as we did on the night before He died." "He came to us, Thomas... as He said He would." "And why did He come... after I'd gone?" "Joanna, you saw Him too?" "I was with you." "I was searching for Him, risking my Iife to find Him." "And when I'm gone He appears to you." "He said, "Go in peace." "As my Father sent me..." "I shall send you to baptize and to spread the word."" ""In my name you shall cast out devils... and heal the sick."" ""The sins you forgive... shall be forgiven."" "And who are you, Simon... to forgive what they did to our Master?" "You're allowed to speak in Jesus' name, just because... you waited?" "Does searching mean nothing?" "Thomas, you need to rest." "Be merciful to yourself." "You wish to forgive me too, Peter?" "So you can do the same for others." "You're such a kind man." "AII right." "I accept it." "You saw Him." "Yes!" "He stood before you, but I didn't see Him!" "I was in the wrong place." "I always seem to be in the wrong place." "Then take our word for it!" "I can't." "You're just dreamers... or cowards." "I believe them." "Why won't you?" "You're looking for something that does not exist." "Why don't you see that?" "I can't" "I won't believe until I put my finger... into the nail holes in His hands and put my hand into His side." "Then I will believe." "Tonight I'm going to bring back His body." "Then you'II see." "Thomas!" "Thomas!" "Why are you searching elsewhere... for what you have already?" "Fine, put him with the others." "Caius?" "At your service." "No, the body first." "First the truth." "Who's paying you?" "The owner of the tomb." "If you're lying, I'II kill you." "Show me the way." "Who brought Him here?" "You ask too many questions!" "Why?" "Why here?" "He's dead, isn't He?" "They're all dead!" "New arrivals!" "Barrabbas!" "You finally got yours, my friend." "You look better dead!" "This is hell." "A weak stomach?" "Here He is." "It's not Him!" "You're mistaken!" "This is not the Master's body!" "This the man!" "Now you pay me!" "Take his body or you'II wind up in PiIate's hands!" "help!" "help me!" "help!" "help me!" "Come!" "Why did you saved my Iife?" "You know I would have returned you in to PiIate anyway, don't you?" "Jesus taught me to love my enemies." "Wait!" "What can I do for you?" "help me find Longinus." "He's been exiled across the desert where they send the mad people." "Hurry if you want to find him alive." "Now go!" "Go!" "Master!" "Master!" "Get away from there!" "Get back there!" "I suppose you don't want to spend the day with these animals." "Why don't you come over with us to have some wine?" "What about the prisoner?" "He's a beast like the others!" "Come on!" "He's not going anywhere!" "AII right, we'II come." "Here!" "Give me some too!" "Over here!" "I want some bread too!" "I'm starving!" "Bread?" "Bread?" "You know Longinus?" "Longinus." "Longinus?" "Do you know Longinus?" "Who's looking for me?" "Longinus!" "Longinus!" "Look at me!" "You know me?" "Who stole the Nazarene's body?" "I know..." "I was there... no... body." "Come on." "Come with me." "It's you... the mad Jew who wanted to take the body." "Yes." "Who took him?" "The light." "What do you mean by the light?" "Light." "Sky." "AbIaze" "At midnight." "The stone over the tomb, it rolled away." "Then what happened?" "I went to the tomb... on my knees." "And?" "He..." "was gone." "Gone?" "The tomb was empty." "Water please!" "Water!" "Here." "So much light... the searing..." "light." "blind." "Where am I?" "With the Essenes." "They'd hide a Roman soldier?" "Jesus said that all men are brothers." "But I nailed him to the cross... with my own hands..." "The way,he cried..." ""Father... into Your hands..." "I commit my spirit."" "truly this man was... the son of God." "And I... pierced him with my spear" "His blood went all over me!" "I kept spear head..." "at the tomb." "Yes." "You asked me If I knew." "I found Him." "I haven't..." "I'm still searching." "We'II take care of him." "Don't worry." "Across the desert... to find a blind man." "Why?" "Why?" "I don't understand you Lord." "Why?" "Why?" "I know you feel sorrow now, but I will see you again, and our hearts will rejoice, and no one will take our joy from us," "What do you want from me, Lord?" "help me to accept it." "help me!" "help!" "Thomas." "Thomas." "Thomas." "I prayed for you!" "How I prayed that the Lord would bring you back safely!" "Come inside!" "The others will be so happy see you!" "No I can't!" "I can't." "Joanna, I'm leaving JerusaIem." "please, come with me." "The disciple must stay together now." "You know that." "Yes." "Why won't you see your friends?" "Friends?" "What have they done to you?" "Friends?" "My friends?" "What have I done to my friends?" "My friends." "Thomas." "I can't face them." "I can't!" "Thomas,I don't understand." "What happened to you?" "What happened to you down there?" "Did you find Longinus?" "Longinus. he told me... how he nailed our Master to the cross... how he whipped Him... killed Him." "But he's not the one who caused our Master... the most suffering, I'm the one." "I'm the one." "Longinus believes in Jesus... but I doubt." "I doubt Him." "I doubt myself." "I doubt you." "I doubt everyone." "Even my brothers." "That's why you won't see them?" "I don't deserve... their forgiveness." "How con they forgive me?" "There's no place for me amonstg Jesus' friends!" "That's not true." "Thomas." "Who are you to say that?" "You're only ashamed... about what you did." "You know what you have to do now." "Come." "Don't be afraid." "Come." "Peter!" "Thomas!" "Thomas!" "You're back!" "Forgive me." "Forgive me, Peter." "Forgive me." "You're back!" "Forgive me, brothers!" "I was filled with doubt." "We all were." "Yes, but..." "I was without faith." "I was searching for something..." "I couId never find... because there was nothing to be found..." "We must look for him amongst the living." "Thomas!" "Joseph!" "You're free!" "The prison gates suddenly burst open." "He was there." "You've seen Him too?" "You trust us now?" "." "tell me what to do." "You're all I have left now." "please, help me!" "please, help me!" "please, help me!" "please, help me!" "help me!" "Peace be with you!" "Thomas." "Thomas!" "You've been calling me for so long... and now I'm here you won't speak with me?" "My Lord... please forgive me." "My faith had left me." "Forgive me." "Then I shall give you proof." "Come closer." "No, Master!" "I need no proof!" "I need no proof!" "Come!" "I believe!" "Touch my wounds." "I believe!" "I believe !" "fell my hands... feel my side." "Do you have faith now?" "." "My Lord." "My God." "Thomas, come." "Look at me." "Because you have seen you believe." "blessed are those... who not having seen believe." "My Lord." "Go in peace." "God bless you, Peter." "God bless you too, Joseph." "Joseph." "Be careful." "May God be with you." "And with you, my friend." "I hope to see you again soon." "Goodbye, James." "Joseph." "Thomas." "You keep these." "No, they're yours." "You keep them." "No, I don't need them anymore." "Have a safe journey." "May God be with you." "God bless you." "We should be going." "Joanna... thank you." "Mother Mary... give me your blessing." "Go!" "Thomas, go... go and tell the word what you have seen..." "Jesus has risen." "And now our hope... is greater than our fear..." "Take a small grain of wheat... when it dies into the soil... a newer wheat is to be born... and it grows and ripens." "Therefore we must not lay our eyes only on what we can see... but have faith instead in what we're not yet able to see... because visible things last just for one moment... while what we are yet to behold will last forever."
