Pharisee 1: What are we accomplishing? Here is this man performing many miracles.
If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him--
(they all stop and gasp!)
--And the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
(they all stop and gasp again)
All: If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him--
And the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
All: What are we going to do? We're the leading party, the voice of law before the people.
But this one man, leading a rebellion, bringing us to doom!
Caiaphas stands up, all others sit and are quiet suddenly.
C: You know nothing at all!
You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.
(sudden gasp again)
C: Here's what we're going to do. From this day on we plot to take his life. 'Cause we're the leading party, the voice of the law, before the people. But this one man, leading a rebellion, bringing us to doom. here's what we're going to do:
C: The Feast is near. And he's sure to appear. Spread the word around. If he's found out. They should report. And we will arrest him. Then we will kill him.
All: We won't let him go on like this, and everyone believe in him.
This one man, leading a rebellion, bringing us to doom!
We will find, then arrest him, then kill him!
