Trial Before Pilate |
| Pilate |
| And so the king |
| Is once again my guest |
| And why is this? |
| Was Herod unimpressed? |
| Caiaphas |
| We turned 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 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 |
| There may be a kingdom for me Somewhere if I only knew |
| Pilate |
| You’re a king |
| Jesus |
| Yes you can see I am |
| I look for truth |
| And find that I get damned |
| Pilate |
| What is truth? |
| Is truth unchanging law? |
| We both have truths |
| Are mine the same as yours? |
| Crowd |
| Crucify him, crucify him! |
| Pilate |
| What do you mean |
| You’d crucify your king? |
| Crowd |
| We have no king but Caesar |
| Pilate |
| He’s done no wrong |
| No, not the slightest thing |
| Crowd |
| 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 |
| Crowd |
| Crucify! |
| Crucify! |

| 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 |
