: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.
:31:03
l used to wonder at that myself,
:31:06
until faith taught me the answer.
:31:09
He could have healed my body, and it would
have been natural for me to laugh and sing.
:31:14
And then l came to understand that
he had done something even better for me.
:31:19
He'd chosen me for his work.
:31:22
He'd left me as l am so that all others like me
:31:26
might know that misfortune needn't deprive
them of happiness within his kingdom.
:31:33
lt's beyond reason that
anybody should think as you do.
:31:36
lf you had only known him,
looked into his eyes, heard him speak...
:31:41
- l did.
- l don't understand.
:31:43
Please. lt's enough.
:31:48
You're in no danger from me.
:31:51
l'm leaving. Now.
:31:53
- We hoped you'd stay.
- Do you want to die?
:31:55
- Of course not.
- Then let me go.
:31:58
No one's holding you, Marcellus.
