<br>

CAIAPHAS<br>

<br>

We've been sitting on the fence for far too long.<br>

<br>

ANNAS<br>

<br>

Why let him upset us?<br>

Caiaphas, let him be.<br>

All those imbeciles will see,<br>

He really doesn't matter.<br>

<br>

CAIAPHAS<br>

<br>

Jesus is important,<br>

We've let him go his way before.<br>

And while he starts a major war,<br>

We theorize and chatter.<br>

<br>

ANNAS<br>

<br>

He's just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee.<br>

<br>

CAIAPHAS<br>

<br>

The difference is they call him King,<br>

The difference frightens me!<br>

What about the Romans?<br>

When they see King Jesus crowned,<br>

Do you think they'll stand around,<br>

Cheering, and applauding?<br>

What about our people?<br>

If they see we've lost our nerve,<br>

Don't you think that they deserve,<br>

Something more rewarding.<br>

<br>

ANNAS<br>

<br>

They've got what they want,<br>

They think so, anyway.<br>

If he's what they want,<br>

Why take their toy away?<br>

He's a craze!<br>

<br>

CAIAPHAS<br>

<br>

Put yourself in my place,<br>

I can hardly step aside.<br>

Can not let my hands be tied.<br>

I am law and order.<br>

What about our priesthood?<br>

Don't you see that we could fall?<br>

If we are to last at all,<br>

We can not be divided.<br>

<br>

ANNAS<br>

<br>

Then say so to the council,<br>

But don't rely on subtlety.<br>

Frighten them, or they won't see.<br>

<br>

CAIAPHAS<br>

<br>

Then we are decided?<br>

<br>

ANNAS<br>

<br>

Then we are decided.<br>

<br>
