Pilate: Listen King of the Jews,
Pilate: Where is your kingdom?
Pilate: Look at me. Am I a Jew?
Jesus: I have no kingdom in this world.
Jesus: I'm through.
Jesus: There may be a kingdom for me somewhere.
Jesus: If you only knew.
Pilate: Then you are a king?
Jesus: It's you that say I am.
Jesus: I look for truth and find that I get damned.
Pilate: But what is truth?
Pilate: Is truth a changing law?
Pilate: We both have truths.
Pilate: Are mine the same as yours?
Mob: Crucify him! Crucify him!

Mob: Crucify him!
Pilate: Behold a man,
Pilate: Behold your shattered King.
Mob: We have no King but Caesar.
Pilate: You hypocrites,
Pilate: You hate us more than him.
Mob: We have no King but Caesar,
Mob: Crucify him!
Pilate: I see no reason. I find no evil.
Pilate: This man is harmless, so why does he upset you?
Pilate: He's just misguided, thinks he's important,
Pilate: But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him.
Mob: Crucify him! Crucify him!
