Quotes from
Caiaphas:
Jesus of Nazareth, your crimes are so many I scarcely know where to begin.
Jesus: Go now, and teach all nations. Make it your first care to love one another and to find the kingdom of God, and all things shall be yours without me asking. Do not fret then for tomorrow; leave tomorrow to fret over its own needs, for today... today's troubles are enough. And lo, I am with you always, even onto the end of the world...
John the Baptist: REPENT!
