my father's name, your head bends and your body drags.

LUZBEL: Well then, if you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.

JESUS: It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by the word of God.

Luzbel: Don't bore me!

JESUS: No! I pity you, because I see you humiliated.

LUCIFER: Everything that is under the sky belongs to the earth, and it belongs to me, the fire springs up beneath my
plants; no one resists my power; my breath infiltrates the race, the poison of pride; The men

GALILEO, PEOPLE THAT THE SAMARITANS LOOK AT WITH DEEP DISDAIN. SARAÍ FULL
His Aunt Forá and Jesus said to him with a sweet accent:

JESUS Woman! Give me something to drink!

SARAI: How can you...A Jew, ask a woman from Samaria for water? When has it been
Did your town deal with mine?
JESUS: If you knew the gift of God and who it is that says to you, "-Give me of
drink-”, you would have asked her yourself, and he would give you living water.

SARAI: You don't have what it takes to draw it out, and the well is deep; so where are you going to draw from?
Is this water that you offer me? Are you by chance... greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this?

with you is not your husband, in this you have spoken the truth.

SARAI: Sir, I see that you are a prophet! Our fathers worshiped on this mountain,
but you say that it is Jerusalem where one must worship.

JESUS: Believe me woman, the hour is coming when you will neither worship on this mountain nor in Jerusalem,
father. You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know, for
salvation comes from the Jews? But the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true
worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for those are, precisely, the
worshipers that the Father desires! God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in
spirit and truth.

SARAI: I know that the Messiah, the so-called Christ, is about to come; when he arrives, we will...
will announce everything.

JESUS: I am the Messiah!, the one who speaks with you.

to the impious Jerusalem, is that true?

orders, my death is decreed in the heavens from where I joyfully descended to die for him

Let me die by your side.

JESUS: You, my mother, must outlive me, but do not fear, it will be for short moments.
At the summit of Golgotha, solitary and sorrowful dove, you will coo with your sad moans the
bitterness of my death. Everyone will leave me; you alone kneeling at the foot of the log, will confuse your
tears with my blood; because your humble violet of Nazareth, you were born to suffer very deeply
pains on the earth of man, and to perfume from the sky the painful agony of the human race;
because you will eternally lend your benevolent shade to the unfortunate because you, ark
sealed where the infinite mercy of God is contained, you will be the lighthouse of the lost navigator, the light
reviver that guides the steps of the weary pilgrim; your glorious name will be invoked in the
moments of bitterness, and your purity will shine forever like the luminous rays of
sol.

Don't cry, woman! We will soon reunite in the eternal dwelling.

I have already said, our separation will be short, because I am your essence! and you my
breath, for my life is deposited in your very life! In the immortal book this is written in

MARIA: Oh! Lord revoke your sentence, have mercy on my pain and my bitterness; remember
that as a child I fed you with the juice of my breasts, that sheltered in my bosom I took you to
Egypt; my greatest pleasure in my hours of agony was to kiss your forehead, white as the peaks
of the Sabino, pure like the dew drop that shelters under the perfumed Calyx of the lilies of
valley. So!, in your rosy mouth like the roses of Jericho wandered a smile that was my
charm, all my happiness. If you leave!, if you abandon me!, what will become of this poor mother?
abandoned?

JESUS: Shut up, mother and lady! From the sacred heavens, I descended to die for the good of the
humanity; your womb was the perfumed cup that received the divine word. Do not plead
more!, My hour is approaching!. Goodbye, the cross awaits me!.

JUDAS: Of course! Why wouldn't I come?

ANAS: Where is it?

JUDAS: Very close to this house, it is only about two hundred steps away from
you all.

He follows a new path that is beneficial to us, and they try to get rid of him; I believe it.
Exactly, and that's why I'm here to meet with you.

ANAS: Explain your plan, the soldiers you requested are waiting for you.

JUDAS: There is no hurry, this matter must be handled with discretion, otherwise
it could be fatal for us.

ANAS: Do you think that Jesus and his disciples will defend themselves?

Judas: Jesus is not a man of war, he is a man of peace. He himself will present the
hands to attend to him. As for his disciples, except for Peter! the others quite
they will make the fortune of their teacher cry.

PRIESTS: So what are we waiting for?

JUDAS: Let Jesus leave Jerusalem. The city is full of outsiders, a cry of
Jesus would assemble a thousand arms to defend him. Believe me: in this matter, it is not wise to rush.

ANAS: But if he leaves Jerusalem, he will escape from our hands!

JUDAS: José, where he sleeps tonight, and there we will catch him off guard.

ANAS: The soldiers do not know him.

JUDAS: What does it matter? I know him; and to avoid any doubt, I will go ahead of them.
And he to whom I give a kiss on the cheek, it is Jesus!

ANAS: What time do you plan to leave with the soldiers?

Judas: When the night is halfway through its course.

ANAS: How many people do you need?

JUDAS: Twenty men are enough for me.

PRIESTS: We will also accompany you.

THEY HAVE TAKEN.

JUDAS: Let me warm up, my friends, because the cold cuts like a knife.

Painful tears run from his eyes.
THE SERVANTS OF THE PONTIFF ARE PREPARING TO DRAG THE PRISONER TO THE HOUSE OF
PILATE THE ROMAN PROCURATOR, WHO MUST SIGN THE SENTENCE; AS THE ONLY JUDGE WHO
HE HAS THE RIGHT OF LIFE OR DEATH OVER THE PRISONERS. A CENTURION STOPS THE RETINUE,
SAYING:

CAYO-APPIO: Stop!!! It's still too early to bother Pilate: Wait for the sun
may it illuminate the face of the prisoner and the judge!

NARRATOR: GRUMPY CAIAPHAS RETURNS WITH THE RETINUE TO THE SANHEDRIN, HE APPROACHES

CAIFAS: Soldiers, I hand over this King to you! Treat him as he deserves! As for

in the dungeons of the city.

NARRATOR: THEN JESUS IS LOCKED IN A ROOM THAT RECEIVES LIGHT THROUGH THE GRATE.
SOME CURIOUS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CONTEMPLATE HIM THROUGH THE IRONS OF THE GRATE, FROM
WHERE THEY BESTOW ALL KINDS OF INSULTS. JUAN HAS MET WITH THE VIRGIN AND
MAGDALENA, WHO HAVE SPENT THE NIGHT SITTING.

MARIA: Juan, what is with my son?

NARRATOR: JUAN CANNOT ANSWER, THE SOBBING PREVENTS HIM. THE DEEP
THE DISCIPLE'S BITTERNESS IS A PAINFUL REVELATION FOR THAT MOTHER.
MARIA, ABOUT TO FAINT IN MAGDALENA'S ARMS, BEGS JUAN TO GIVE HER
DRIVE WHERE YOUR CHILD IS.

MARIA: I want to go, I want to see him Juan!

JUAN: Oh mother full of bitterness! Why increase your pain with the presence of her
cruel martyrdom?

MARIA: Take me to where he/she is.

NARRATOR: A FEW STEPS FROM THE HOUSE, THEY SEE A GROUP OF PEOPLE SURROUNDING A
MAN, WHO SHOUTS WITH ALL THE STRENGTH OF HIS LUNGS; SAYING:
PEDRO: Yes!, Yes!, I am Pedro, before SIMON! I am Galileo, disciple of Jesus, the
true prophet!, I am one more of your apostles!, I am the most loving of your doctrines!
Tear my garments, shred my flesh!!! What holds you back? If just recently, for a
cowardly scruple, I could have denied my master; now I recognize him, I admire him, and I adore him!

PEOPLE: This man is crazy!!!

NARRATOR: And the people leave Pedro all alone, in whose eyes the tears have not yet dried.
THE TEARS.
MARIA, JUAN, AND MAGDALENA MET WITH PEDRO. MAGDALENA HASTILY APPROACHES
Pedro tells him

MAGDALENA: Pedro, why did you deny the teacher!

PEDRO: I had to do it. Don't you see that they were going to kill me?

MAGDALENA: He had already said that you would deny it; how did he know?

PEDRO: Magdalena, I have sinned greatly; the master will never forgive me!

MAGDALENA: My lord has been captured. We will not move from here for a single moment. To the
they will take him to Pilate at dawn

PEDRO: The master is lost, but perhaps Pilate will save him, if Jesus is absent, what will become of us?
us?

MAGDALENA: Tonight we will pray for him!

PEDRO: Tonight! After... after... what will we do?

MAGDALENA: Wait!

NARRATOR: BOTH CRYING HUG EACH OTHER WANTING TO COMFORT ONE ANOTHER.

PEDRO: Madam!

MARIA: Pedro, what happened? Tell me! Where is my son?

PEDRO: It would have been better not to have been born with a tongue when it must pronounce such
things.

MARIA: Do not increase my anguish any further, Speak!

PEDRO: Madam, last night; while we were praying with the master, in the garden of the
olives, a traitor has delivered him to the judges of the Sanhedrin and ...

MARIA: Speak, for God's sake!

PEDRO: ... they want to sentence you to death!

MARIA : Oh, son of my soul!

PEDRO: The teacher has said that everything was written.

MARIA: And where is he?

PEDRO: Soon they will bring you before Pilate so that he will sentence you.

MAGDALENA: Pilate is a just man, perhaps he will save him by finding him innocent.

MARIA: Pilate is a just man but weak, the crowd will force him to condemn him!

PEDRO: Well, it would be a good idea for you to rest, ma'am! The anguish of not knowing your fate
son, it has kept you awake all night.

MARIA: ¡Quiero verle!, ¡Quiero verle, Pedro!

PEDRO: ¡Vayamos pues!

NARRATOR: THE PRESENCE OF THE AFFLICTED MOTHER IN THAT PLACE MAKES EVERYONE FALL SILENT
CURIOUS.
THE VIRGIN FALLS TO HER KNEES NEXT TO HER SON EXCLAIMING!

MARIA: Son of my soul!

JESUS: I have not stopped seeing you, my mother... since the moment of our
separation... I know what you have suffered... but you will be blessed among all women... as blessed
it will be the fruit of your womb... that today... that today is the object of mockery and scorn.

MARIA: Son!, Son of my soul!

SOLDIERS: They hurry the way to bring him to Pilate.

NARRATOR: PONTIUS PILATE WALKS IN HIS DRESSING ROOM WITH A JEALOUS AIR, FOR HE
THE NOISE THAT SPREADS THROUGH JERUSALEM, DISTURBS HIM, HE GETS CLOSER TO THE WINDOW TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENS.
A great murmur can be heard below. At this moment, a door opens and Claudia enters.
WIFE:

PONTIUS PILATE: Ah! Are you Claudia? What do I owe to the fortune of seeing you so early?...
But... you are moved... pale! What's wrong with you?

CLAUDIA: Ah, Pontius! I had a horrible, frightening dream, but the most particular, the most...
it's strange that I have dreamed while awake.

PONTIUS PILATE: Dismiss your fears, my wife! I know well that this sad city of...

CLAUDIA: It is not that, not Poncio! What startles me at this moment, what afflicts me. It is
a sacrilege that the priests are going to commit! and that I do not want You to sanction with your
approval.

PONTIUS PILATE: My Claudia! Your words amaze me, I beg you to explain yourself!

CLAUDIA: Do you know Jesus of Nazareth?

PONTIUS PILATE: (Thoughtful)... Ah yes!, that Galilean who travels through the tribes healing the sick, that
an extraordinary man who preaches a new law, The one who says that men are
Brothers!, for the last will be the first in the kingdom of his father... and who knows how many things

CLAUDIA: Well, Jesus has been captured tonight by your soldiers and never has a man...

PONTIUS PILATE: How do you know that? Have you perhaps left the citadel?

CLAUDIA: No! I already told you that I had a horrible dream.

NARRATOR: PILATE SMILES

CLAUDIA: Do you doubt my words?

PONTIUS PILATE: I do not believe in dreams, dear Claudia.

CLAUDIA: Well, I have seen through the walls of my bedroom, a horde of men
fierce, among them were your soldiers, elders, and priests of the council. They arrived at the mountain of
the olives. There was Jesus praying as usual. Upon seeing him, they threw themselves upon him like
hungry wolves. Jesus, with his meekness, allowed his hands to be tied behind his back; then he

about your name tarnishing it forever.
You are a Roman judge, you alone have the right of life and death over the Jews.
I come to beg you, to implore you not to be an accomplice to such a dreadful crime.

NARRATOR: SOMEWHAT CONCERNED WITH HIS WIFE'S NARRATION PILATE RESPONDED:

PONTIUS PILATE: "Discard vain fears, you have said it!, all that is nothing more than a
I dream, but if that dream were a reality: I swear that I would defend Jesus!, as long as
Jesus did not conspire against Tiberius

CLAUDIA: Don't forget, that I have your word!

PONCIUS PILATE: "Trust!, the sentence of Jesus, if it does not prove to be an enemy of the empire, does not...
I sign... Ah, and in proof of this!... I give you my ring!... Are you happy with me!

CLAUDIA: Oh! Yes, my Pontius. I am happy because I am going to avoid an infamy.

NARRATOR: CLAUDIA, NOTICING THAT HER HUSBAND SMILES, CONTINUES

CLAUDIA: Do you still doubt the reality of my dream?

PONTIUS PILATE: You have always had a dreamy imagination!

NARRATOR: JUST AS PONTIUS PILATE HAS JUST SAID THESE WORDS, WHEN "FELL-APPIO",
A CENTURION OF THE PRAETORIAN GUARD ENTERS THE DRESSING ROOM. CAYO-APPIO IS SPANISH.
LIKE PILATE AND THE TWO SONS OF TARRAGONA. THE GOVERNOR HAS A FRIEND IN CAYO.
LOyal and a faithful subject.

PONTIUS PILATE: What is happening, Gaius?

CAYO-APPIO: Sir, the priests bring you a prisoner for you to judge!

CLAUDIA: That one coming over there is Jesus of Nazareth, my dream, my dream was a revelation!

NARRATOR: AT THIS MOMENT, THE CONFUSED VOICES OF THE GOVERNOR REACH

TOWN, WHICH ASKS FOR JUSTICE FROM THE SQUARE.

PHARISEES: Pilate, Pilate! Justice! We want justice! Let the governor come out and sentence.
To the Nazarene!

PONTIUS PILATE: Cayo, open all the palace doors! Let those hyenas in!

CLAUDIA: Don't forget that you promised me to respect the life of Jesus!

CAYO-APPIO: Sir, the judges of the Sanhedrin, the priests, and the Pharisees refuse to
enter the palace. Because they do not want to stain their conscience by entering on the day of Easter, in
the house of a man who adores the gods of Olympus!

PONTIUS PILATE: Miserable Hypocrites! Despicable and vile race!

PHARISEES: Justice! We want Justice! Let the governor come out, let Pontius Pilate show himself!

PONTIUS PILATE: People! You come to interrupt the sweet morning dreams of your judge. What
do you want?

PHARISEES: Justice! We want Justice! The cross for the Nazarene!

PONTIUS PILATE: What crime do they accuse this man of!, but I warn you, that I do not want you to
Everyone speak at once, let one of you take the floor and the others remain silent.

SAMUEL BELIBETH: Roman judge, the people ask for justice and wait for you, because you alone have
right of life and death, over the subjects of the illustrious emperor Tiberius. This man is the son

of Judah; son of God and what other sacrileges that are not fitting to remember.
For three years now, he has been wandering through the tribes deceiving simple people, he does not respect the law of
our elders and heal on Saturday the ailments of others.
This, as you see, deserves death and that is what the people filling this square expect from you. I have spoken!

PONTIUS PILATE: If Jesus has committed no more crimes than the ones you just mentioned! I...
I represent Rome, I find no sufficient fault to punish him!

CAIFAS: If you weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have brought you here!

PONTIUS PILATE: If that man has sinned against your law, judge him yourselves!
CAIFAS: The death penalty, you know well Pilate, you have reserved it as a right of
conquest. We cannot sentence Jesus and his crime deserves death.

PILATE: Well then, accuse him of crimes worthy of the cross!

CAIFAS Pilate, with what we have told you, you have enough to condemn Jesus.
Remember that Tiberius has sentenced to death on the disgraceful cross all the sorcerers and this
man heals the possessed and performs a thousand other sorceries! Does he not fall short of what your lord prescribes?

CAYO-APPIO: Pilate is waiting for you, follow my steps!

PONTIUS PILATE: (In a Low Voice) "This man does not seem like a criminal, for it is written on him.

PONTIUS PILATE: Are you the 'King of the Jews'?

JESUS: Do you say that for yourself, or have others told you that about me?

PONTIUS PILATE: Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have delivered you into my hands.
What have you done to make them wish for your death with such tenacious effort?

JESUS: My kingdom is not of this world, it should not inspire fear in your lord.
In this world, my subjects would fight so that I would not be delivered to the Jews.

PONTIUS PILATE: So, you are a king?

JESUS: You judge that I am, I was born for that, but I come to reign in the hearts of
the just; to transmit the divine light of grace and truth. Anyone who loves the truth, that
listen to my voice.

PONTIUS PILATE: But what truth is that which you speak of!

PONTIUS PILATE: No crime, I find in this man!!!

Caiaphas Meditate on what you say, Jesus has committed all kinds of sacrilege in Galilee!

PONTIUS PILATE: It's Jesus from Galilee!

WOMAN: Yes, he is from Galilee, stirring up the people, he is a liar, fake.

PONTIUS PILATE: Well then, take him to Herod, the tetrarch of Galilee, let him judge him, tell him.

NARRATOR: Claudia is already waiting for Poncio in the Chamber.

PONTIUS PILATE: Are you happy with me?

CLAUDIA: Poncio, I think you have been very weak this time, you should have taken away
Jesus from the hands of his executioners.

NARRATOR: MEANWHILE JESUS IS LED TO HEROD'S PALACE. THE ONE WHO MOST
ABUSE JESUS IS SAMUEL BELIBETH, WHO SCREAMS LIKE A MADMAN.
SAMUEL BELIBETH: Wizard sorcerer, if you are God as you say, perform a miracle by granting me
my immortality and my mother who is mute, the use of the word.

NARRATOR: JESUS TURNS HIS HEAD ONCE AGAIN NEAR THE PALACE OF HEROD AND
DIRECTING TO SAMUEL, BELIBETH SAYS:

JESUS: The Son of Man is going, but you will wait for his return.

ACCUSERS. THE GALILEE, AS SOON AS HE SAW HIMSELF IN FRONT OF THE BAPTIST'S KILLER,
HE FIXED HIS GAZE ON HIM. HEROD HELD THAT LOOK FOR A MOMENT AND THEN SAID:

HEROD: You could not think, respectable priests. What I thank you for is that you...
Present him; this man; the fame of his miracles has been echoing in my ears for a long time and
I fervently wish to see with my own eyes one of those wonders that excite the
simple inhabitants of Sabulon. Approach, prophet, and do not be afraid, since the wonders are in
your hands, show me your skills, confuse my little faith. Come on, make a miracle.

NARRATOR: JESUS GIVES A COMPASSIONATE LOOK TO THE TETRARCH AND REMAINS SILENT.

HEROD: Are you mute by chance? Why don't you speak? Why don't you confuse me? Step forward
to that window, from where the cylindrical tower of David is seen, and tell him to greet you.

NARRATOR: JESUS REMAINS SILENT, DISREGARDING HEROD'S DEMANDS.

HEROD: Do you forget that I am the Tetrarch of Galilee and that your silence could cost you dearly?

NARRATOR: THE NAZARENE SMILES SWEETLY

HEROD: Miserable! You scorn my threats. Are you mad? Perform a miracle or...
On the contrary, the rigor of my anger will fall upon your head.

NARRATOR: HEROD BRINGS A CUP OF WATER AND THEN SAYS TO HIM

HEROD: Turn this water into wine!

WITH DISGUST AND ANGER HE SEES THAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN WINE, HEROD, SPITS OUT THE WATER AND THEN
Throwing herself at Jesus, she says.

HEROD: This is water!

NARRATOR: JESUS DOES NOT RESPOND, CAIFAS ADVANCES A FEW STEPS AND EXCLAIMS:

PILATE: BEHOLD THE MAN!

PONCIUS PILATE: Behold, Israelites! Ecce homo! Here is the man! Even the figure of a man.

man live or die, after the punishment he has just received?

TOWN: To Golgotha, to Golgotha! Crucify him! Death for him, the cross!

NARRATOR: CAIAPHAS, WHOSE RESENTFUL HEART FEARS THAT JESUS WILL ESCAPE DEATH,

CAIFAS: Pilate, your duty is to uphold our law and punish the enemies of Caesar.
