Trial before Pilate.
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 crucified – it's all you have to do
We need him crucified – 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 truth and find that I get damned
PILATE
But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths – are mine the same as yours?
MOB
Crucify him!
PILATE
What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?
MOB
We have no king but Caesar!
PILATE
He's done no wrong – no not the slightest thing
MOB
We have no king but Caesar! Crucify him!
PILATE
He's done no wrong – no not the slightest thing
MOB
We have no king but Caesar! Crucify 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
Crucify him!
(Thirty nine lashes)
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 speak 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 have comes to you from far beyond
Everything is fixed and you can't change it
PILATE
You're a fool Jesus Christ – how can I help you?
MOB
Pilate? Crucify him!
Remember Caesar – you have a duty
To keep the peace so crucify him!
Remember Caesar – you'll be demoted, you'll be deported
Crucify him!
PILATE
Don't let me stop your great self-destruction
Die if you want to you misguided martyr
I wash my hands of your demolition
Die if you want to you innocent puppet!
Superstar.
VOICE OF JUDAS
Everytime I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?
If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
Don't you get me wrong – I only want to know
CHOIR
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
VOICE OF JUDAS
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top
Who d'you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?
Buddah was he where it's at? Is he where you are?
Could Mahomet move a mountain or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death would be a record-breaker?
Don't you get me wrong – I only want to know
CHOIR
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Crucifixion.
JESUS
God forgive them – they don't know what they're doing
Who is my mother? Where is my mother?
My God My Cod why have you forgotten me?
I am thirsty
It is finished
Father into your hands I commend my spirit
