Trial before Pilate (including the 39 Lashes)

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

Crowd:
Talk to me, Jesus Christ

Jesus:
There maybe a kingdom for me somewhere -
If you only knew

Pilate:
Then you are 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 truth -
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! Crucify!
( ... 39 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 hold 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
Everthing is fixed
And you can't change it

Pilate:
You're a fool, Jesus Christ -
How can I help you?

Crowd:
Pilate! Crucify him! Crusify!
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!
