Trial Before Pilate (Including the 39 Lashes) [Ben Daniels, John Legend, Jin Ha & Norm Lewis]

And so, the king is once again my guest And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed? We turned to Rome to sentence Nazareth We have no law to put a man to death We need him crucified - it's all you have to do We need him crucified - it's all you have to do Talk to me, Jesus Christ You have been brought here, manacled, beaten By your own people; do you have the first idea Why you deserve it? Listen, king of the Jews Where is your kingdom? Look at me, am I a Jew? I have got no kingdom in this world I'm through, through, through (Talk to me, Jesus Christ) There may be a kingdom for me somewhere if I only knew Then you're a king? It's you that say I am I look for truth And I get damned But what is truth? Not easy to define We both have truths; are yours the same as mine? (Crucify him!) (Crucify him!) What do you mean? You'd crucify your king? (We have no king but Caesar!) He's done no wrong, no, not the slightest thing! (We have no king but Caesar! Crucify him!) Well, this is new respect for Caesar 'Til now this has been noticeably lacking Who is this Jesus? Why is he different? You Jews produce Messiahs by the sackful (We need him crucified; it's all you have to do) (We need him crucified; it's all you have to do) Look at your Jesus Christ I'll agree he's mad Ought to be locked up But that is not a reason to destroy him He's a sad little man, not a king or God Not a thief, I need a crime (Kill him!) (He says he's God!) (He's a blasphemer) (He'll conquer you and us and even Caesar!) (Crucify him! Crucify him!) Behold the man Behold your shattered king (We have no king but Caesar) You hypocrites! You hate us more than him (We have no king but Caesar! Crucify him!) I see no reason - I find no evil This man is harmless so why does he upset you? He's just misguided, thinks he's important But to keep you vultures happy, I shall flog him! (Crucify him!) (Crucify him!) (Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!) (Crucify him! Crucify him!) (Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!) (Crucify him! Crucify him!) (Crucify! Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39! Where are you from Jesus? What do you want Jesus? Tell me You've got to be careful, you could be dead soon Could well be Why do you not speak when I have your life in my hands? How can you stay quiet? I don't believe you understand You have nothing in your hands Any power you have comes to you from far beyond Everything is fixed, and you can't change it You're a fool, Jesus Christ, how can I help you? (Pilate! Crucify him! Crucify him!) (Remember Caesar, you have a duty) (To keep the peace, so crucify him!) (Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted, you'll be deported) (Crucify him!) (Remember Caesar, you have a duty) (To keep the peace, so crucify him!) (Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted, you'll be deported) (Crucify him!) (Remember Caesar, you have a duty) (To keep the peace, so crucify him!) (Remember Caesar, you'll be demoted, you'll be deported) (Crucify him!) Don't let me stop your great self-destruction Die if you want to, you misguided martyr! I wash my hands of your demolition Die if you want to, you innocent puppet!
