Caiaphas:We've been sitting on the fence for far too long..
Anaias: Why let his upset us?
Caiaphas let
him be!
All those imbeciles will see
he really doesn't matter.
Caiaphas:Jesus IS important, we let him go his
way before,
and while he starts a major war. We theorize and shatter.
Anaias: He's 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 they'll stand around
cheering and
applauding?
What about our people?
If they see we've lost our nerve
don't you think
that they deserve
something more rewarding?
Anaias: They've, got what they want, they think so
anyway.
If he's what they want, why take their toy away?
He's a
craze.
Caiaphas:Put yourself in my place, I can hardly
step aside
cannot let my hands be tied. I am law and order!
What about our
priesthood?
Don't you see that we could fall
if we are to last at
all
we cannot be divided.
Anaias: Then say so to the council
but don't rely
on subtlety
frighten them or they won't see!
Caiaphas:Then we are decided?
Anaias: Then we are decided.
