3:08:00
Peace?
3:08:02
Love and peace.
3:08:04
Do you think I don't long for them
as much as you do?

3:08:07
Where do you see them?
3:08:10
If you had heard this man
from Nazareth.

3:08:12
Balthasar's word.
3:08:15
He is more than Balthasar's word.
3:08:18
His voiced traveled
with such a still purpose.

3:08:22
It was more than a voice.
3:08:25
A man more than a man.
3:08:31
He said, "Blessed are the merciful. . .
3:08:35
. . .for they shall obtain mercy.
3:08:38
Blessed are the peacemakers. . .
3:08:40
. . .for they shall be called
the children of God. "

3:08:44
Children of God?
3:08:46
In that dead valley
where we left them?

3:08:49
I tell you every man of Judea is
unclean and will stay unclean. . .

3:08:53
. . .until we have scoured off
our bodies the crust and filth. . .

3:08:56
. . .of being at the mercy of tyranny.
3:08:59
No other life is possible
except to wash this land clean.

3:09:02
-In blood?
-Yes, in blood!

3:09:06
I know there is a law in life.
3:09:08
That blood begets more blood
as dog begets dog.

3:09:12
Death generates death. . .
3:09:14
. . .as the vulture breeds the vulture.
3:09:17
But the voice I heard today
on the hill said:

3:09:20
"Love your enemy.
3:09:22
Do good to those who
despitefully use you. "

3:09:26
All who are born in this land
hereafter can suffer as we have done.

3:09:29
As you make us do now.
3:09:35
Are we to bear nothing together?
3:09:39
Even love?
3:09:44
I can hardly draw breath. . .
3:09:47
. . .without feeling you in my heart.
3:09:50
But I know. . .
3:09:53
. . .that everything I do
from this moment. . .

3:09:56
. . .bears greater pain
than you have ever suffered.
