l didn't mean to eavesdrop.
:29:05
l sit here so that l can watch people pass.
:29:07
Well, wouldn't you be angry?
l gave him the donkey for himself.

:29:11
Then it doesn't matter what he does with it.
:29:15
l suppose not.
:29:17
ls it that you resent
what our master taught us?

:29:19
Why should l resent it?
He means nothing to me.

:29:22
Then why do you consider him your enemy?
:29:27
You see, we know
why you're here, Marcellus.

:29:31
lt's simple, really. No merchant, even
a stupid one, would have paid those prices.

:29:36
And the look of you, those shoulders.
:29:39
We guessed at once what you were.
:29:44
Sit down, please, here in
the shade. The sun's hot.

:29:51
Why must you do this, Marcellus?
ls it for Rome?

:29:57
Yes.
:30:00
And for myself, to save my reason.
:30:05
Justus said you were ill.
:30:07
- There's one who can help.
- No.

:30:09
- He was crucified. That was the end of him.
- That was the beginning.

:30:13
He's with his Father, but he left his word
with us and taught us how to use it.

:30:17
Don't confess to sorcery.
You'll make things worse.

:30:19
He was no sorcerer, Marcellus.
He cast no spells.

:30:23
He only asked two things of us: ''Love God'',
he said, ''and love ye one another.''

:30:29
And he meant not only the Jews, but
Romans and Greeks, slaves and soldiers,

:30:34
the strong and the weak, everyone.
:30:37
He asked us to build our lives
on this love, this charity.

:30:42
- To build a new world.
- Worlds are built on force, not charity.

:30:46
Power is all that counts.
:30:48
Perhaps we have something
better than power. We have hope.

:30:54
That you of all people should say that.
:30:57
What do you mean, Marcellus?
:30:59
You say he could work miracles,
but he left you as he found you.
