Quotes
-
Rachel : We must take her to him.
Jairus : What?
Rachel : We must take her to Jesus.
Jairus : Rachel...
[Cleopas arrives]
Rachel : Oh Cleopas... you must tell him.
Cleopas : How is she?
Rachel : She's dying.
Jairus : No! She is not dying Rachel!
Rachel : Oh Jairus! Are you that afraid of them? They have such a hold over your life!
Jairus : God is my life! Not man... not any man!
Cleopas : I think we should listen to this Jesus.
Jairus : What?
Cleopas : No one ever lost their soul by listening to a liar. Only by believing him and following him. And if he speaks the truth...
Simon the Pharisee : The truth?
Cleopas : We have nothing to fear from the truth, do we?
Simon the Pharisee : No, no. We must question Jesus, see how he defends himself.
Rachel : Yes! We must listen.
Simon the Pharisee : Why should the people think their leaders do not listen? I will invite Jesus and his band of followers to my home, and we'll see whether he really is God's prophet.
