Video Info

Description:

From the 1973 production:Then We Are Decided. Caiaphas and Annas early plans for Jesus demise. This scene was written specifically for and only appears in the 1973 movie. Lyrics: CAIAPHAS Weve been sitting on the fence for far too long. ANNAS Why let him upset us? Caiaphas, let him be. All those imbeciles will see, He really doesnt matter. CAIAPHAS Jesus is important, Weve let him go his way before. And while he starts a major war, We theorize and chatter. ANNAS Hes just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee. CAIAPHAS The difference is they call him King, The difference frightens me! What about the Romans? When they see King Jesus crowned, Do you think theyll stand around, Cheering, and applauding? What about our people? If they see weve lost our nerve, Dont you think that they deserve, Something more rewarding. ANNAS Theyve got what they want, They think so, anyway. If hes what they want, Why take their toy away? Hes a craze! CAIAPHAS Put yourself in my place, I can hardly step aside. Can not let my hands be tied. I am law and order. What about our priesthood? Dont you see that we could fall? If we are to last at all, We can not be divided. ANNAS Then say so to the council, But dont rely on subtlety. Frighten them, or they wont see. CAIAPHAS Then we are decided? ANNAS Then we are decided.
