- Caiaphas: What will the sign say on his cross, Prefect?
- Pontius Pilate: Put in Aramaic, Latin and Greek: "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
- Caiaphas: He was never our king. It must read: "This man *said*, 'I am the King of the Jews.'"
- Pontius Pilate: It stays as I've commanded! "The King of the Jews"!
- Jesus: Pray to Him, and He will listen!
- Mary Magdalene: How shall we pray?
- Jesus: Like this: Our father who is in heaven/Hallowed be your name/Your kingdom come/Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven/Give us this day our daily bread/And forgive us our trespassers/As we forgive those who trespass against us/And lead us not into temptation/But deliver us from evil/Amen.
- Pontius Pilate: Since I've been prefect, you Jews have tested my patience to breaking point. Now I'm beyond it.
- Caiaphas: Yes, but, Prefect...
- Pontius Pilate: I'm speaking! If the disturbances that took place today are repeated tomorrow, I will shut the temple immediately. There will be no Passover, I will put this city under curfew, I will crush *any* rebellion! Do I make myself absolutely clear?
