Pilate and Christ.
Friday
PILATE
Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway?
Who is this unfortunate?
SOLDIER
Someone Christ – King of the Jews
PILATE
Oh so this is Jesus Christ, I am really quite surprised
You look so small – not a king at all
We all know that you are news – but are you king?
King of the Jews?
JESUS
That's what you say
PILATE
What do you mean by that?
That is not an answer
You're deep in trouble friend -
Someone Christ – King of the Jews
How can someone in your state be so cool about your fate?
An amazing thing – this silent king
Since you come from Galilee then you need not come to me
You're Herod's race! You're Herod's case!
MOB
Ho-ho Sanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho and how
Hey JC, JC please explain to me
You had everything where is it now?
King Herod's song (Try It And See).
HEROD
Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, raising from the dead
And now I understand you're God at least that's what you've said
So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine – change my water into wine
That's all you need do end I'll know it's all true
C'mon King of the Jews
Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made round here
You are all we talk about the wonder of the year
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie
Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool walk across my swimming pool
If you do that for me then I'll let you go free
C'man King of the Jews
I only ask things I'd ask any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
I am waiting yes I'm a captive fan
I am dying to be shown that you are not just any man
So if you are the Christ yes the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread – you can do it on your head
Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
C'mon King of the Jews
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ!
You're a joke you're not the Lord – you're nothing but a fraud
Take him away – he's got nothing to say!
Get out you King of the Jews! Get out of my life!
Judas' death.
JUDAS
My God! I saw him – he looked three-quarters dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame
And I know who everybody's gonna blame
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good
I'd save him all this suffering if I could
Don't believe ... our good ... save him ... if I could
PRIEST 3
Cut the confessions forget the excuses
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance
The mob turned against him – you backed the right horse
CAIAPHAS
What you have done will be the saving of Israel
You'll be remembered forever for this
And not only that you've been paid for your efforts
Pretty good wages for one little kiss
JUDAS
Christ! I know you can't hear me
But I only did what you wanted me to
Christ! I'd sell out the nation
For I have been saddled with the murder of you
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!
I don't know how to love him.
I don't know why he moves me
He's a man – he's just a man
He's not a king – he's just the same
As anyone I know
He scares me so
When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is darkness now – My God I am sick I've been used
And you knew all the time
God! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime
For your foul bloody crime
You have murdered me! You have murdered me!
CHOIR
Poor old Judas
So long Judas
