Caiaphas is hot.

"..his half-witted fans will get out of control." How prophetic or 20/20 hindsight

Though this movie doesn't correspon with the New Testament account perfectly, I still think this portrays the Pharisees SPOT ON. They are so threatened and threatening -- jealous ("Jesus is cool" , "He's top of the pole"). But they still think they see blood and destruction because of one Man on the rise. It kind of captures their thought process in justifying a plot against Jesus's life.... Plus the music is excellent :)

@Lucky466 You are correct! (and don't forget Herodutus!) All of my atheist friends are kinda embarrassed when people say things like,"God's not real, so Jesus isn't real. Duh" Educated people know He was an actual historical figure!

Thank you so for posting! It encourages me to know other people know these things, regardless of your religious affiliation (or lack there of) :)

(Btw, I am a follower of J.C. in case I made that murky)

@doisettep Very few scholars hold the position that Jesus never existed. There are some non-Christian sources that make reference to him; for example, there are writings of a Roman official called Cornelius Tacticus, who makes passing reference to Jesus having been executed in the reign of Tiberius under Pontius Pilate when discussing Christians. Whether he's divine is another issue, but most serious scholars, Christian or not, say that the man existed.

@Galastel Yes , Christians started out as a sect of Judaism and later branched off into their own separate religion because of differing beliefs , practices and interpretations of The Bible as well as Christians trying to fit in with The Romans which The Jews clearly did not at the time. However , there are even to this day , Messianic Jews and despite The Early Church`s best efforts Judaizing Christians !

@1993MovieMan It was common for tales of miracles to surround leaders of religious sects, and there were many sects branching out from Judaism at the time - people who believed in God, but did not like the Priesthood. It makes sense for Jesus to be a leader of one such sect. Indeed, Talmud mentions early Christians praying in Synagogues together with the Jews, suggesting they did not regard themselves as a different religion, but merely a different view of the same beliefs.

@LankyGeorge Also a very good point !

@1993MovieMan It's worth remembering that tales of miracle workers would have been ten a penny in those days. Until his remaining disciples started preaching he would have been unknown outside of Judea.
