The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)

JESUS :
Did you ever see this resurrected
Jesus of Nazareth? I mean, with your
own eyes?

PAUL:
No. But I saw a blinding flash of
light and I heard his voice.

JESUS

You're a liar! I'm Jesus of Nazareth.
I was never crucified.

I never came
back from the dead. I'm a man like
everyone else.

PAUL
What are you talking about?

JESUS
I'm the son of Mary and Joseph, who
preached in Galilee. James and John,
the sons of Zebedee, were my
disciples.

We marched on Jerusalem,
they brought me before Pilate, but
God saved me.


PAUL
No he didn't!


JESUS
Now I live like a man. I have a
family. I eat, work, have children.

Do you understand what I'm saying?
Don't go around the world spreading
these lies about me.

Because, I'll tell everyone the truth.


PAUL
Look around you! Look at these people.
Do you see the suffering and
unhappiness in this world?

Their only hope is the Resurrected Jesus.

I don't care whether you're Jesus or
not. The Resurrected Jesus will save
the world -- that's what matters.

JESUS
The world can't be saved by lies.

PAUL

I created the truth out of what
people needed and what they believed.

If I have to crucify you to save the world,
then I'll crucify you.

And if I have to resurrect you,
then I'll do that, too.


JESUS

I won't let you. I'll tell everyone
the truth.

PAUL

Go ahead. Go on. Tell them now.

Who's going to believe you?

You started all this, now you can't stop it.

You don't know how
much people need God.

You don't know how happy
he can make them. Happy to do anything.

He can make them happy to die
and they'll die.

All for the sake of Christ.

Jesus of Nazareth.
The Son of God. The Messiah.

Not you.

Not for your sake.

You know, I'm glad I met you.
Because now I can forget all about you.

My Jesus is much more important
and much more powerful.
