>> he goes to see the roman procurator for judea, pontius pilate. >> get out. >> pilate is an essentialigure because only he as the roman procurator had the power to pronounce a death sentence. so it was he who ultimately is responsible for jesus' crucifixion and death. >> you've come for me, rabbi? >> pilate is famously anti-semitic. he doesn't like jews. he doesn't like being in judea. >> jesus of nazareth. i've come to ask for his body. >> we have to wonder what joseph was thinking. he's taking quite a risk. he's going to pilate and asking for the body of a convicted criminal, a criminal who is guilty of political sedition. >> i have a tomb. somewhere secure where we can prepare his body. >> by going to pilate and asking for this rather personal favor, it's almost as if he might be guilty himself. >> you can imagine it being a very tenseeeting between the two men. >> yes? >> pontius pilate gives joseph of arimathea the body, but he probably thought he was letting some jewish custom play out. so far as he was concerned, that's with going to be the end of it. >> in allowing joseph to t

people would get hurt or killed when pilate felt so moved. and perhaps for this reason, jesus was turned over to rome. >> the most difficult thing for us, after 2,000 years, is to bring our imagination down when we're looking at the passion of jesus, because we want to think the whole world was watching, or all of the roman empire were watching, or all of jerusalem was watching. i take it for granted there were standing orders between pilate and caiaphas about how to handle lower-class, especially, dissidents who cause problems at passover. >> jesus would have represented, you know, a kind of activist and resistor in... in pontius pilate's experience that he had been dealing with for years, and with varying degrees of... of success and effectiveness, obviously. but jesus would have been a blip on the screen of pontius pilate because the unrest and the uprisings were so common-- a part of daily life for the roman administration of judea-- that jesus would have been seen, i think, as very, very little out of the ordinary. >> now, i don't for a

does he see pilate condemn him to die? does he perhaps watch the flogging? to feel the reality of what he'd done. >> when it becomes clear that they're not just going to do away with jesus, but they're going to publicly shame him on a cross, judas apparently had second thoughts. after jesus was condemned, there had to have been a part of him that did feel remorse. >> judas clearly feels guilty after he's done this thing. we see a lot of his conscience. >> i have sinned! >> he takes the money and he throws it back. blood money. and he doesn't want to get his hands dirty with it. >> there's something terrifying about judas that you can be doing so well and then make a mistake from which you can never come back. >> while all four gospels of the new testament name judas as the betrayer of jesus, only one of them, the gospel of matthew, tells how judas' own story ends. >> for me the story of judas is a tragic story. it's not the story of god giving up on judas but judas giving up on himself. >> he regrets, but he doesn't repent. and he doesn't trust that he can b

. >> following his betrayal by judas, jesus is arrested, tried and sentenced by pontius pilate to beand crucified. >> the men had fled because the men could have been arrested with jesus for insurrection as he was. they could have been crucified as well. >> jesus called the disciples to follow him. and the one thing that they have failed to do, many of the disciples, is to follow jesus at the most crucial moment of all, which is to the cross. but mary has understood this and she's followed him to the cross. she succeeded where many of the male disciples have failed. >> how difficult it must have been for mary, the mother of jesus, mary magdalene, the last they saw jesus probably in the temple teaching in public, healthy, vibrant, alive. >> it says a lot about the commitment of mary and the other women and their dedication to jesus and their willingness to be with him in these tough moments. they do go to the crucifixion scene. ♪ >> i think mary and the other women demonstrated their willingness to go even unto death with jesus. they were -- they were there for him. and they weren't s

they started under pontius pilate; they say so themselves. so it's novel.f it's novel, from the roman point of view, it cannot be a religion. religion is, by definition, ancient, from roman perspective. so, if it's new and novel, it's... it's a superstition, it's not a religion; and superstition is, by definition, not a good thing. >> we have a good example of the pagan perspective on christians from a little graffiti found in rome from the palatine hill. an inscription scratched very crudely into the wall says, "alexamenos worships his god." in the picture, we see alexamenos bowing down before the man on the cross, but the man on the cross has the head of a donkey. >> christians have made themselves outlanders in their own town. and, therefore, they are used as an explanatory device whenever there are the usual natural insults of human existence-- plague, earthquake, flood. it's because christians, as gentiles who are not doing their duty to heaven, are... why should the gods do anything for the city then? >> narrator: though persecution was still mainly l
