Caiaphas Quotes in The Miracle Maker (2000)

Ben Azra: Pilate will destroy the temple and all that we have!

Caiaphas: You know nothing! Nothing at all. Don't you realise that all the might and anger of Caesar can be aimed at one man. At this magician from Nazareth. Let one man die, and all the people will be saved.

Pontius Pilate: Don't you want your King?

Caiaphas: The only King we want is Caesar, and if you do nothing about this, then you are no friend of Caesar.

Pontius Pilate: ...I'm washing my hands of this... of all of you.

[sighs]

Pontius Pilate: Deal with their King according to Roman law.

Caiaphas: Jesus of Nazareth, your crimes are so many I scarcely know where to begin.

Caiaphas: Tax collectors and harlots!

Annas: He's just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee.

Caiaphas: The difference is they call him king, the difference frightens me.

Caiaphas: Fools! You have no perception! The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high. We must crush him completely! So like John before him, this Jesus must die!

Caiaphas: We turn to Rome to sentence Nazareth. We have no law to put a man to death. We need him crucified! It's all you have to do! We need him crucified, it's all you have to do!

Caiaphas: One thing I'll say for him, Jesus is cool.

Caiaphas: We need a more permanent solution to our problem...

Caiaphas: We've been sitting on the fence for far too long.

Judas: You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame; and I know who everybody's gonna blame! I don't believe he knows I acted for our good! I'd save him all this suffering if I could! Don't believe... our good... and I'd save him if I could!

Annas: Cut the confessions! Cut out the dramatics! I don't understand why you're filled with remorse! All that you've said has come true with avengeance! The mob turned against him, you backed the right horse!

Caiaphas: What you have done will mean the saving of Israel, you'll be remembered forever for this! Not only that, you've been paid for your efforts. Pretty good wages for one little kiss!
