:19:01
. . .who drowns people in water.
:19:03
And a carpenter's son who does magic
tricks. "Miracles" they call them.
:19:07
There's always a rabble-rouser
stirring up trouble.
:19:09
No, no, no. This man is different.
:19:12
He teaches that God is near,
in every man.
:19:17
It's actually quite profound,
some of it.
:19:22
You've been too long away from Rome.
:19:24
Go back, Sextus.
:19:26
Go to Capri.
Bathe, rest, lie by the sea. . .
:19:28
. . .and forget that
God is in every man.
:19:32
-There is divinity in only one man.
-Yes, I know.
:19:36
The emperor is displeased.
:19:39
He wishes Judea made into a more
obedient and disciplined province.
:19:42
He's ordered me to restore order.
I shall carry out his wishes.
:19:45
How? You can break a man's skull,
arrest him, throw him into a dungeon.
:19:50
But how do you control this?
How do you fight an idea?
:19:53
Especially a new idea.
:19:59
There's a Jew outside.
He wants to see the tribune Messala.
:20:03
I assume he has a name.
:20:05
-He says he's a prince, Judah Ben-Hur.
-Then treat him like one!
:20:12
Tell him I will join him.
:20:14
Yes, tribune.
:20:16
Centurion!
:20:24
This was his country
before it was ours.
:20:27
Don't forget that.
:20:30
Yes, tribune.
:20:34
Very wise. This Ben-Hur is
the richest man in Jerusalem.
:20:40
And the head of one
of the greatest families in Judea.
:20:43
We were friends as boys.
:20:46
We were like brothers.
:20:50
Sextus. . .
:20:52
. . .you ask how to fight an idea.
:20:55
Well, I'll tell you how.
:20:58
With another idea.
