"I feel refreshed." "I feel good." "And a beautiful day." "Oh, I'm going to be in rare form today." ""Caiaphas, how did you become so wise?"" ""Oh, I don't know." "Just naturally brilliant, I suppose."" ""Oh Caiaphas, you are such a wit!" "How lucky we are to have you!"" ""Caiaphas, is it difficult to be the judge of Israel?"" ""Not really..." "I'm used to it now."" ""Caiaphas, your honor, what is the meaning of life?"" ""Why do you bore me with such simple questions?"" "Aaagh!" "What are you doing here?" "!" "The people are beginning to gather, sir." "They're waiting for you to judge." "Very well, I shall come down!" "Is there something else?" "!" "If you don't mind me asking, sir, uh... who were you talking to?" "Talking to?" "No one!" "You're growing old and hearing voices!" "Out!" "Please, gentlemen, if you would, please?" "Nicodemus, you're not actually going to give him money are you?" "The man was born blind." "He has nothing." "It's a punishment from God for his sins." "For his sins?" "If a man is born blind, you can rest assured that either he or his parents are sinners." "You don't actually believe that, do you?" "I certainly do!" "And so does Caiaphas." "Come on, come on, let's ask him." "He'll set you straight." "Who's there?" "Father!" "Did you bring Him?" "Is Jesus with you?" "I..." "I'm sorry, son." "We looked everywhere, Aaron." "He's nowhere to be found." "Keep looking, Mother, please." "He can heal me." "Aaron, you've never even heard the man speak." "How can you be so sure?" "He can heal me, Father." "It's a feeling in my heart." "I know He can!" "We'll keep trying, son." "What do we have today?" "Oh... oh... oh, well, the usual, you know." "Questions about the law and sinners to judge and et cetera..." "Mmm." "Let us begin." "Your honor, please explain to Nicodemus why certain people are born blind." "Why, Nicodemus, you're a member of the Sanhedrin." "You can answer that." "It's because either he or his parents are sinners." "Told you." "Oh Caiaphas, you are a wiser judge than Solomon of old!" "I know." "Next!" "This woman has been... uh... well..." "disloyal to her husband, your honor." "You will find no mercy from this Council, woman." "If the Romans allow it, you will receive the full penalty of the law:" "death by stoning!" "Get her out!" "No, please, no!" "No, no, please, no, no, no, please...!" "Psst." "Jesus is back." "He's preaching at the Temple." "The people say that he healed a man of the palsy yesterday." "On the Sabbath?" "And they say..." "What?" "..." "What?" "They say that He is the righteous Judge of Israel, not you." "You two, come here!" "Jesus is at the Temple." "I want him brought to me this afternoon." "Make sure there are no mistakes." "Tonight, he shall die!" "I will show Jesus what judgment is..." "swift and final judgment!" "Joshua, Jesus is back!" "He's preaching at the temple." "Be slow to judge." "You may accuse your neighbor of great sins, and yet a greater sin may lie within you." "Step aside!" "Step aside!" "Jesus of Nazareth?" "You are charged with healing a man on the Sabbath." "Is this true?" "It is as you say." "Oh, sinner!" "It's unlawful to heal or do any work on the Sabbath." "Oh ye hypocrite, you accuse me of breaking the Sabbath, and yet a greater sin lies within your heart." "Oh, how dare you!" "What sin?" "What sin do I have in my heart?" "Have you not come to kill me?" "To kill?" "You are possessed by devils." "Be slow to judge." "But if you must judge, judge righteously." "Jesus?" "Jesus?" "Don't touch me!" "He's not here!" "It's about time!" "Bring in the accused!" "We... uh... we... well, we don't have him, sir." "You what?" "!" "Amos, what is the meaning of this?" "Caiaphas, I..." "I..." "I've never heard a man speak like him." "He knew why we had come!" "Caiaphas, I..." "I beg your pardon, but you have not heard or seen Jesus." "It's unlawful for you to judge him so quickly." "Are you also one of his followers, Nicodemus?" "I am the high priest of Israel!" "I will judge how and when I like!" "We are through for the evening." "Go home, all of you." "Amos, Eber, meet me in my quarters." "What are we afraid of?" "God is on our side!" "Quiet you imbecile!" "You've already ruined my first plan." "We can't just kill him, Amos!" "Why, there... there'll be a riot!" "The people love him!" "They actually believe that he's a righteous judge!" "Then we must make them believe that he is not." "Today, Caiaphas, you sent a woman to prison." "You told her that she must be stoned for her sins." "... if the Romans would allow it." "Quiet!" "Let Jesus judge her." "Why should I?" "I'm the High priest!" "Because if he says that she must be stoned, then the Romans will arrest him for murder." "And if he says she shouldn't be stoned, He has rejected the law of Moses." "Yeah... yes, and no righteous judge can reject the law of Moses." "It's good." "I like it." "Now the people will see what sort of judge Jesus really is." "Excuse me, excuse me, I'm looking for Jesus." "Don't know him." "Uh..." "Rabbi, this woman has broken faith with her husband." "We caught her in the very act." "We know now that you are a great judge, so we brought her to you." "The law of Moses says she should be stoned to death." "But what do you say?" "Rabbi, did you hear us?" "We must have your answer, Master." "What is it?" "Let him who has no sin cast the first stone." "Woman, where are thine accusers?" "Do none condemn you?" "None, Lord." "Then neither do I." "Go and sin no more." "Well, at least the people no longer think that Jesus is a righteous judge, now they know he is!" "Leave me." "May I suggest a new approach?" "Lord..." "Lord, what have I done to deserve this?" "Show me my sin, and I will forsake it." "I know this man;" "he's been blind since his birth." "Why, Master?" "Why does God allow him to suffer so?" "Perhaps it's punishment for some sin." "Or for the sins of his parents." "You have judged this man wrongly." "He is not blind because of sin." "Once he was filled with suffering, but now he shall be filled with the works of God." "Is it You, Jesus?" "It is." "Go." "Go and wash in the pool of Silom." "Here, I'll take you." "I..." "I can see." "I can see!" "I can see!" "I can see!" "Where is He?" "I have to find him!" "A wonderful performance, my friend." "What are you talking about?" "Let me go!" "I have to find Jesus!" "Well done, my friend." "It's perfect." "First, I will make this boy confess, and then I will have my revenge on Jesus of Nazareth!" "Answer me quickly and honestly!" "How much did Jesus pay you to pretend that you'd been healed?" "He paid me nothing." "So, you lie for free!" "No, I..." "Oh come now, we know that you were never blind!" "But I was!" "I was born blind." "Then how were you healed?" "Jesus put clay on my eyes and told me to wash." "Caiaphas sir, we have found the boy's parents." "Is this your son?" "Mother?" "Father?" "Can it be true?" "I can't believe it!" "I can actually see your face." "It's a miracle!" "Oh, stop it!" "Stop it this instant!" "Is this your son, and was he born blind?" "!" "Yes, this is our son." "And yes, he was born blind." "And now he can see!" "The punishment for lying to this council is death!" "Then kill us if you must, but we will never deny this is our son." "Alright, alright, you were healed!" "But give the glory to God, not to this sinner, Jesus!" "But Jesus healed me!" "And how can a sinner perform miracles?" "I would think that you could judge such a simple matter." "How dare you question my judgment?" "!" "Throw him out!" "I have to find Him." "I have to find Jesus." "Of course you do, son." "Oh, of course you do!" "I need rest." "I need rest." "I need rest." "( song) When, Jesus, will I meet you;" "kneel and tell you thanks for everything you've given me?" "You, Jesus, are the reason;" "where once my life was dark and hopeless, now I see." "When, Jesus, will I see you, see those healing hands that touched me with the gift of love?" "Oh, Jesus, when I see you will I know You as the Son of God sent from above?" "You are a man like me, though You're divine." "You have eyes and lips and hands, just like mine." "And yet oh Lord, You're more, You're so much more." "Help me find You, Lord. ( end song)" "I heard that you had been cast out." "Do you believe in the Son of God?" "I do." "Where can I find him?" "Do you know?" "He stands before you now and speaks with you." "Jesus!" "I am He." "Oh, thank You, Jesus." "Thank You!" "( song) Oh Jesus,will I know You?" "Help me find You!" "( end song)"
