Yes, i think The same, that was head hung in shame, because he couldn’t, or just decide to do nothing to help Jesus. So many sytuations, in our daily life, that we just hung our heads in shame. Jesus please, forgive us..
I also think that fellow was intended to be someone who understood who He was but refused to do anything but go along with the "cool kids" in the room. But he knew it was the Lord and was ashamed he wouldn't do anything to stand with him. And that describes pretty much all of us.
@@eddarby469 It wasn't because he wanted to go along to get along. It was because he was too weak to go against the crowd. He looked like a servant or someone lower in rank to the rest of them. If he had been wealthier or had more power, he might've been able to stand against them. And that is the reason why most people are willing to be sheep (incl. me).
Ugly truth is that *ALL* of us were once like those mockers in the room, before God decided to save us from ourselves. Sometimes even as believers, we still can act like the mockers.
And many “believers” continue to ignore His commandments, focusing instead on the forgiveness He offers instead of the Spirit who enables us to obedience of His Instructions (Torah). Sin is Torahlessness. 1 John 3:4
@@rmp7400 This is not Biblical. The worship (veneration) of saints is Roman syncretism. Worship of anyone other than Yeshua is forbidden. Miryam (Mary) was born a sinner, and learned via the Spirit, to live righteously, that is keeping Torah. Come out of her My people.
The first Christians did not believe that Jesus was God; in fact, they did not believe that he existed before his conception and they did not believe that he was born of a virgin. The first Christians believed that he was just a man who was destined to be a messiah in the way that David and all other previous kings of Israel were; they believed that he would restore the independence of Israel from the Romans, reestablish its status as a kingdom, and usher in an era in which all peoples would worship Yahweh, the god of Israel.
@Moon Shoes Far from what it means, but at the same time, you made a perfect example of why it's better to not waste your time on some people which is the point of the parable
@@cowel8734 The point of the parable is to dehumanize people who don’t agree, and give you an out from critical thinking. You’re a perfect example of that. Notice I didn’t have to dehumanize you to express disagreement. Another likely difference between us….I just think you’re wrong. Where you probably believe I am deserving of eternal torment. Am I wrong? Do your beliefs include the idea that people who don’t believe will be judged and end up in a place like hell?
@@moonshoes11 The biggest flaw of Christianity: "If you dont believe what I believe, you will suffer your entire life, and then burn for all eternity after you die. Even if you never even heard of Christ". I know Catholics and many other denominations are little more lenient on this front, the Catholic concept of "pre - Christ righteous pagans" comes to mind, but still, most Christians believe that someone being tortured forever is an acceptable thing to do to someone. If you torture people, your evil, so if god is fine with "bad" (no such thing, people are a product of their environment, genetics and experiences) people going to hell, then he is by my standards, an evil god. But in reality, the very concept of omnipotence is a human creation. NO one really knows the truth, and claiming certainty is for con men and fools. Claiming certainty destroys discovery, imagination and the scientific processes that have led to our lives improving. Claiming certainty stunts growth and innovation. Why claim to be certain when you can live a life of intriguing and mind expanding thought experiments regarding the true nature of the universe? Christians are kings of claiming certainty, instead of maintaining an open mind that is open to skepticism and alternative theories. Im a big nerd, so being religious OR being an athiest seems like a boring existence, Im an agnostic athiest, I believe the "truth" will probably never be known, and that is a beautiful thing because it allows us to use out imagination. I like religion for its story telling i guess, but I look at it the same way I look at that show "Ancient Aliens": its just fun speculation based not on evidence but very human ideas.
Herod and others in this scene didn't frame, torture and kill Christ. It was the very godly - in fact, 'too godly'/judgmental type - who framed, tortured and killed him. We should be more like Jesus and not look down on and judge others. The most abominable, un-christlike actions today come from those who claim to act in the name of god.
I love how in this scene Jesus was knowing to trust the will of the father when he was surrounded by chaos and abandonment you can see how calm he is when he’s questioned and is silent
Think of all the righteous men that God chose to lead the Isrealites throughout the ages, and then here you have God in the flesh faced with this thing, seeing for himself how far his chosen people fell.
Same, but we all have. I don't think we intend to cast pearls before swine, but to see the hard hearted come to the truth. That's our heart. We think we can win the mockers over with our many words and skills in debate. However we end up finding out the hard way it doesn't work. We regret it when it's too late - when the words have been spoken but resound back in our faces. Only God can soften our hearts to bring us to a place of repentance.
@@CrypticHowlbut it’s still important to spread the word thou because as soon as you plant those seeds into people God will do the rest I can testify to that
@@KentrellJones1017 oh, absolutely, we should spread the truth even to the scoffing for it is a witness to them. Based on those accounts they will have no excuse and knowing that God is real. However, we should not waste extensive time on mockers sharing pearls. The pearls are for those who want the truth.
watching this movie, Jim Caviezel's performance becomes much more meaningful knowing that while filming, he prayed to God to not let the audience see him but Jesus through him. I think thats why Passion of The Christ stands out among Jesus movies.
I always thought that when I look at pictures of the actor Jim, he literally appears to be a different man than the man in this movie. Quite interesting to think about that given what you’re saying.
Yes an atheist came to the faith thru this film, his name is Paul a missionary in England, his channel is called „closer to God“ here on this platform, just watch his testimony ,
An interesting subtext to this scene is that there are two sets of villains in the room: Herod and the pharisees. Neither likes the other. The pharisees are rightly disgusted by Herod's hedonism, while Herod sees through their pretensions.
Well, in order to have ALL power and ALL glory, he had to be the most humble man to EVER walk the face of the earth. God didn't give him everything for no reason.....
This is, you know, an actor. In a movie. Based on the writings of men, that only used those writings to gain power and commit massive atrocities in their name.. So uh.. yeah, okay.
it's very funny that most of the people says that Luca De Dominicis (the name of the italian actor who play Herod), was a great actor, because he's never be an actor, he's a founder of a videogame magazine in italy. He never played in another movie. Never anymore.
@@Mark-in1imsin ser Gran crítico de cine 🎥, esta película 🎞️ se desvía por completo de las historias de Jesús escritas en los evangelios para centrarse solo en las escenas de la flagelación y de la crucifixión; cargadas de violencia extrema y cruda.

Well, Jesus didn't look like a God, he was just a human, maybe that's your answer. I doubt it if you recognized a God in him if you met him face to face.
Its "Do NOT throw your pearls BEFORE swine" NOT "Give pearls to swine" basically "Do NOT Place words of wisdom in the Ears of Fools"! As Fools will NOT understand and will react aggressively towards you,because you have shown them up for the Fools that they are! Very common today!
I don't think it specifically means to never place words of wisdom in the ears of fools. After all, we are all fools, and we all need wisdom. Jesus commands us fools to go out and spread the Gospel to other fools. However if you know that someone is antagonistic, emotional, will never listen to a single thing you've said (like the pharisees) don't waste your pearls of wisdom on them. Jesus could have uttered the most wise and eloquent speech a human being has ever heard when questioned and attacked by the Pharisees. However, it would be as much of a waste as throwing pearls before swine, the swine does not appreciate the pearl for it's true value. The Pharisees were like hounds, and would have attacked and doubted the Son of Man no matter what He said. At least that is how I understand it.
@@LukeLovesRose yes I have seen that before there are a few other similar ways too. God knows the intentions of our hearts and that we are confessing and praising his name.
Each one of us is Herod when we keep asking Him to work miracles in our lives for us to believe in Him .Thank you Lord for my Cross, and thank you for sharing my burden.
@@EQOAnostalgia youre actually wrong about that. Jesus lived this life as a man, so it was discernment. He put off his God abilities and put on corruptible flesh. If he had not lived this life as a man then he could not have been the sacrifice for mankind. The Bible says that he received his instructions from the Father, he did not act on his own accord.
@@RichWeigel this is kinda funny, because I read somewhere that monkeys oftentimes do some kinda prayer ritual type thing, but who knows if monkeys also know God, just in a different way!
Amen. Thank you so much Lord Jesus Christ for what you went through. I believe you died for our sins, was buried and rose again the 3rd day. Thank you for saving me, 1 Corinthians 15 1-4kjv.
Jesus Christ was so faithful to the very end of his life here on earth...just to save us to obtain everlasting life... That's WHY satan try to break CRIST fidelity by putting tentations in front of Jesus Registered in Matteus chapter 4. We should be eternally thankful for his HUGE painful sacrifice.. But soon CRIST will be back to finish all forms of corroption around us and start his 1.000 years messianic kingdom Revelation 20: 1-4.
The guy who plays Herod is an Italian actor called Luca De Dominicis. I have a friend who speaks Hebrew, Latin and Aramaic, and he said that Luca’s pronunciations are pretty much perfect. His eye movements, his facial expressions. Absolutely wonderful - a brilliant performance.
I know this movie is anointed by God. I cry every time I watch it. It's such a beautiful depiction of the life of the Lord Jesus. To this day, I think it's still the best movie about the Lord Jesus that I've ever seen.
This scene is just unbelievably good. So many amazing nuances, like the part where Herod asks Jesus “How about me. Will you work a little miracle for me?” And the woman quickly sits up, genuinely shocked and curious about what could possibly happen. Just an incredible combination of simplicity and high drama, well done!
I disagree, it was a caricature of what likely happened. It reminded me of Star Wars where the whole bar is looking at Luke. It just paints them as an entirely "other" so that we feel a more clear sense of right and wrong and who to apply it to. Mel Gibson makes very black and white movies, he rarely displays nuance.

Sometimes it's like this between a follower of Christ and a non-believer. I had someone recently mock my beliefs and ask me to provide proof that God exists. I asked them to specify the type of proof that would transform them from a non-believer to a believer. This caught them by surprise, because they did not desire to believe, but simply debate and defend their position. Someone who is not ready to believe will not no matter what you put before them. Jesus said "He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying." But many don't, and we have to be willing to move on rather than toiling in unproductive soil.
This movie is awesome Mel did an awesome job. His direction shows me that he understood the Gospel and the meaning of the story. Can't wait for the resurrection
The power of silence. Jesus completely disregards Herod by not answering his questions. “Answer me” Herod says. The Christ ignores Herod and without saying a single word, Christ says “I don’t answer to you”
Truth? There is no truth in your Bible, only claims. That's why you believe on Faith, because there is no evidence. If you had evidence , then you wouldn't need faith.
0:47 reminds me of the scene in Ben Hur (the version with Charles Heston), at the watering well, when the Centurion is browbeating all the slaves then comes face to face with Jesus...and is just stopped in his tracks...in his very soul...sensing Something powerful, and not knowing how to react to it. Without a word, that actor conveyed so much in just a few seconds. Best scene in the film, to me.
Totally agree with you. That was another amazingly brilliant scene. So much conveyed without a single word. The Centurion’s face, stopped dead in his tracks, not understanding who exactly was in front of him but knowing that he was standing in the presence of someone beyond his comprehension. And Jesus…you don’t even see his face in that film, it is never shown….but the power that this conveys hits hard right in my soul
Thank you, my king, for going through all of the pain, all of the mocking, and Ridicule. For the miserable and painful death that I and all other sinners deserve. Thank you for taking my place, Lord. So that I and whosoever else That believes and follows you, and has a relationship with you and loves you has a chance at everlasting life with you. Thank you for freeing me from the chains meth.

Those who say Christianity is a dumb religion have never experienced the demonic and are in fact very ignorant to the darkness of this world. When you truly experience hell on earth and encounter the demonic then you’ll see the power and spiritual safety in Christianity!
*The only man who felt SHAME for the company that was around him and could not look Christ in the eye because of it. Perhaps the only man there who knew the trial for the sham that it was!* (O:44)
It wasn't really a trial, more like an informal examination. The formal trial was before the Sanhedrin, but they lacked the authority to pass a death sentence on their own, so they went to Pilate, and he in turn sent Jesus to Herod hoping Herod would take the problem off his hands, but Herod sent him back mostly because he feared a backlash from the people if he was the one who had Jesus executed. None of them really cared whether Jesus was innocent or guilty, what to do with him was a political decision, and Pilate's waffling was because he needed the cooperation of the Temple priests to rule Judea but was also afraid of popular unrest if he killed a popular religious leader. Don't think any of them had the slightest qualms about executing a man they knew to be innocent.
Except for very very few, the world values nothing of importance. Only what evil has blinded them too. I'm ready to die for Christ, as He took MY sins on that cross.
Reminds me of the book of Ecclesiastes. Everything we have in the material world-our wealth, possessions, family, friends, us will eventually be gone. Erased from existence, leaving nothing but ash and dust. Our entire lives is not even a spec of sand in a seashore. We can choose to chase the pleasures of this world, with all it's falsehoods, or the one truth we have in this life, Jesus Christ.
I love how only one in the entire room... 0:48 ...knew He is King, and acknowledged Him by bowing. I sometimes feel when I go to adoration, and kneel on the floor, bowing down to my Lord and my God, that some think I'm a bit 'over the top'. He IS King of the universe, of this world, of Everything and we should enter His sanctuary on our knees, on our bellies! We are arrogant and prideful - 2 things that will send one to hell if they do not overcome them, by His grace and by His mercy. Learn to bow, and learn how to kneel and give the Creator and Son the honor They deserve. We Are Nothing compared to them. Nothing. And yet the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit work for our good, knowing we can't make it out of this world without Them. If you haven't known God, now is especially a urgent time too... for soon Christ will return, and when He does, it is as Judge... and your sins will be judged. Give your heart and life to Christ while there' still time!!!
Thank you. My parents would fall on the floor and bow in prayer and I have done it before. God answered my deepest prayers when I did. We need to start doing this.
@@Hoi4o Bowing and prostrations mean nothing if your heart is not that which "bows" by loving one another and being steadfast in faith. unconditional love for your bothers and sisters and an undying faith and obedience to his every word is how you show your devotion to the lord. Those who are this and do this..only they are his children and marked in the book of life.
I have finally learned the power of the right to remain silent! When no matter what you say it will be used against you! Wish that I would have understood this principal from a young age - it would have saved a lot of needless pain.
Jesus looked at the black guy as if he knew what he was thinking. It’s almost as if the man was looking at him as the one true God and Jesus looked at him as he thought that at that moment to confirm it. I loved that tiny attention to detail!

@rockwellrhodes7703 God doesn't roast anyone you're right. YOU get to choose where you will or will not go by living for Jesus or not. The choice is YOURS and yours alone.
Watching this after the 2024 Olympics games and their display of disrespect. The people mocking Christ in this scene are identical to the swine at the Olympics. It's honestly poetic. Demons don't even hide anymore. They're displayed on international television.
I was 18 at the time I watched this movie. I was doing all sorts of drugs, driving fast, watching " 👀 " movies... but when I saw this, all I could think was LEAVE HIM ALONE! I was sincerely heartbroken by this movie. Still heartbroken to this day.
Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved❤ God is not slow to His promise. It is not His desire for anyone to perish but for all to come to repentance. The cross is not the end of the event, HE IS RISEN and coming back!
You're spirit you soul knows its the truth maybe not you're flesh. I was on hormones (ftm) im a Christian now off the poison. Bible is the truth if wasnt for him I dont know where I would be. Addictions too hes help me. All the best hope you'll see the truth. Were in serious biblical times especially this decade. No joke. Powers that be want a world leader army and religion.
I love this scene because it’s a message for us all. Jesus was so humble and silent that he would not look Herod in the eye because he knew he was swine. They spat on him and mocked him. This is what Hell looks like. Whether you’re a believer or not, there’s going to be a day when you’re going to be judged. Jesus will be your only ticket out of Hell. If you deny him, he will deny you in front of God. If you accept him, he will accept you. The choice is yours.
@@mjkim5998Worry not. Accept Jesus and seek a Bible-believing church, but as you do so, read The Word and pray that The Lord warms your heart. Considering your comment, you haven’t rejected The Messiah, but do not build fear, also another thing I want to tell you is that you should examine yourself for anything that could be holding you back from having a relationship and growing with The Father. A great place to start is the Gospel of Matthew
@@mjkim5998 You aren't. You are showing a humble and contrite spirit just by expressing yourself like this. Sincerely ask Him to come into your heart, and He will. Jesus ignored Herod because he knew there was no real sincerity in anything he was asking him, he was just mocking him all along. I don't think you are. And I will pray for you.
Crying watching this.i was bullied at school,the girls in my class are always making fun of me and trying to make me upset.but my reaction is stay calm just like what He did🤍✝️
The Herodes palace It is the best reflection of society these days. Mel Gibson was a visionary in this: everything that surrounds Herod, every effeminate courtier, every prostitute and strange characters are a perfect allusion to the 2030 agenda, to the end of the times in which we live. Satan's work is what reigns today: lust, depravity, wars, arrogance, ignorance, misery, cruelty. Up to this point we have arrived... that the followers of Christ have it more difficult every day and we are even persecuted.
Herod wasn’t looking for the truth or salvation he was looking for entertainment looking to Jesus as if he is some cheap magician doing tricks. And this is truly sad today people still think Jesus is an genie granting wishes or answering requests like God Almighty is our slave. No he become an servant lowering himself to take all of our punishment that we rightfully deserve to free us from our foolishness and sins. 😢
Not just the mere door to Heaven, but raised their finger to the King of Heaven. Heaven is about being with Christ, not Christ is about being in heaven.
Ephesians 6:12 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
My teacher once said, You know why Jesus never answers Herod when he asks those questions. It's not because he knows he is the son of God, but because Herod is sitting on the throne of the once great King DAVID!!! That should have been Jesus's throne but he did not take it. He could have taken it when he wanted at that time, but he didnt. That shows you the strength and power and self-control that God instilled in his son. Herod was not an idiot and knew alll about the foretold "Messiah". That which makes this scene so powerful!!!👑
I feel that way some days speaking of Him, trying to correct others, but He has asked us to. I shall be a fool only for God and for Christ and the Holy Spirit. I am beginning to care not for what others think.... Judgement is coming and we must be prepared. Jesus, I trust in You, lead me when the fires strike and keep me focused only on you.
Look at how pitiful Herod's court was, nothing in comparison to the nobility and greatness displayed by David and Solomon's court during the golden ages of the kingdom of Israel, it's no wonder Jesus kept his mouth shut, this fool of a king was an insult to his royal lineage.
@@dhlhthriwdhskissos9606 Not only was he not from the line of David, he wasn't even Jewish. His father (Herod the Great) was the son of an Edomite, descendants of Jacob's brother Esau (neither Israelite nor Jewish.) and a Nabatean. Herod Antipas here was born to one of his father's wives who was a Samaritan.
Really puts into perspective how much God Loved The Davídic dynasty long past in the old covenant with the abundant blessings and greatness that Israel obtained during David and Solomon’s kingship. Nothing ever topped it since, less this foreign rule of Herods’. I Can only imagine that Jesus was thinking of how fallen the earthly kingship that his own Father gave them was not a mere resemblance to what it once was so long ago.
The fact that Jesus is standing there being hated by so many and he doesn't say a word when he too was being judged makes this scene all too powerful Slience can say alot more... Jesus was no fool he knew the whole story from day 1 and he told his followers he would die and be rejected and hated. "Remember if the world hates you they hated me first!" Jesus died for me I will die for him. Jesus can sense a believer in the room he was in too. He was alpha male and he spoke the truth. Some people got it and some didn't Yeshua is the KING.
Amen to that. Praise! Jesus! One time I was driving home and I felt the presence of Jesus come down and he got right by me. I started getting chills and I felt so comfortable with him. I knew if I asked him to play any song he would. So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are by nirvana... I turned on my radio and the song began right on the spot, perfectly. I started getting flooded on the inside like a waterfall of chills by the Holy Spirit and started crying. I got home and he stayed with me for 10 minutes til I got out of the car. After that my faith got strong enough that I didn't doubt anymore and I've been getting answered prayers for nearly 5 years. Many involving other people. Just praying in Jesus name and following the Biblical instructions.
@@macavalli2619 Here are some tips. God can still answer your prayers without all this kind of, but if you really want to pull things down and make it happen... A. Keep the commandments best you can. John 15 for reference. B. Forgive everyone. It's obeying God. I forgive as soon as I feel unforgivness. This doesn't mean not getting some people out of your life. It's good for your soul and one of the most important things to do for yourself too. C. Be an actual believer Christian who has the Holy Spirit and wants to serve Him where it counts at least. D. Pray to the Father in Jesus name. I do talk to Jesus a ton though. Either way though, He hears us really. E. Pray without doubting. To get rid of doubt I recommend reading the Word when you wake up. Dedicate that 5 to 20 minutes to God. I only read 1 chapter anymore. Don't watch things that make you doubt too often. Amass as much non-doubt as you can. Watch good sermons from reliable preachers. Spend time in His presence. Cleaner television. Etc... F. Pray with authority of who you truly are. You're a child of God. He is infinite and has given us authority over many things. G. I say "I place a demand and I decree in Jesus name, amen It's not like a spoiled brat making demands. It's like a demand being placed on a package you ordered. With authority. H. Fasting can give you a very powerful edge. Even a meal a day or only eating veggies. I don't ever do this anymore, because I don't doubt. I. Praying from under the Shadow of of His wings, that it speaks about in Psalms 91. It gives you an edge and much more. You can speak from that place too. I don't have to do this anymore either unless I want to or it's a harder prayer. J. The more you pray the stronger they get. It goes up and down though as it developes. K. A prayer closet gives you an edge and is a great place to spend time with Him. L. Don't let pride get a hold of you once you do get answered prayers, because it leads to shame, and can destroy your life until you deal with it.

The ugly truth is that so many people hated Jesus for what he stood for and what he was all about. Yeshua was his real name which means he who helps. Jesus was slient when he was being mocked and hated. That's basically smart b/c slience can say alot more. Nobody knew or understood what he was saying and trying to do. He was the messiah and he came to save the world. Jesus died for me I will die for him! He was hated and Jesus knew what he was up against and in the end he won.
Fact: majority of the interior shots were realized at cinecitta studios in Rome Italy, most of the actors in this movie are italians including the actor portraying Herod, the calvary scene was filmed outside of the city of Matera also in Italy.
Jesus does not even bother to acknowledge Herrod for he knows it will not prevent his coming sacrifice to redeem our sins. This was very powerful and profound scene

Ugly truth is that *ALL* of us were once like those mockers in the room, before God decided to save us from ourselves. Sometimes even as believers, we still can act like the mockers.
Its true
His mother, the Most Holy Virgin, was preserved from all original sin....just as Adam & Eve were.
Only Holy Mary did not betray our Creator+
And many “believers” continue to ignore His commandments, focusing instead on the forgiveness He offers instead of the Spirit who enables us to obedience of His Instructions (Torah). Sin is Torahlessness. 1 John 3:4
I was once like that myself
@@rmp7400 This is not Biblical. The worship (veneration) of saints is Roman syncretism. Worship of anyone other than Yeshua is forbidden. Miryam (Mary) was born a sinner, and learned via the Spirit, to live righteously, that is keeping Torah. Come out of her My people.

Spoken like a true brainwashed religious zealot..
The first Christians did not believe that Jesus was God; in fact, they did not believe that he existed before his conception and they did not believe that he was born of a virgin. The first Christians believed that he was just a man who was destined to be a messiah in the way that David and all other previous kings of Israel were; they believed that he would restore the independence of Israel from the Romans, reestablish its status as a kingdom, and usher in an era in which all peoples would worship Yahweh, the god of Israel.

The point of the parable is to dehumanize people who don’t agree, and give you an out from critical thinking.
You’re a perfect example of that.
Notice I didn’t have to dehumanize you to express disagreement.
Another likely difference between us….I just think you’re wrong. Where you probably believe I am deserving of eternal torment.
Am I wrong? Do your beliefs include the idea that people who don’t believe will be judged and end up in a place like hell?
@@moonshoes11 The biggest flaw of Christianity: "If you dont believe what I believe, you will suffer your entire life, and then burn for all eternity after you die. Even if you never even heard of Christ". I know Catholics and many other denominations are little more lenient on this front, the Catholic concept of "pre - Christ righteous pagans" comes to mind, but still, most Christians believe that someone being tortured forever is an acceptable thing to do to someone. If you torture people, your evil, so if god is fine with "bad" (no such thing, people are a product of their environment, genetics and experiences) people going to hell, then he is by my standards, an evil god. But in reality, the very concept of omnipotence is a human creation. NO one really knows the truth, and claiming certainty is for con men and fools. Claiming certainty destroys discovery, imagination and the scientific processes that have led to our lives improving. Claiming certainty stunts growth and innovation. Why claim to be certain when you can live a life of intriguing and mind expanding thought experiments regarding the true nature of the universe? Christians are kings of claiming certainty, instead of maintaining an open mind that is open to skepticism and alternative theories. Im a big nerd, so being religious OR being an athiest seems like a boring existence, Im an agnostic athiest, I believe the "truth" will probably never be known, and that is a beautiful thing because it allows us to use out imagination. I like religion for its story telling i guess, but I look at it the same way I look at that show "Ancient Aliens": its just fun speculation based not on evidence but very human ideas.

This scene kinda sum up where our society is at right now, Godless and drowning in our self indulgence.
Herod and others in this scene didn't frame, torture and kill Christ. It was the very godly - in fact, 'too godly'/judgmental type - who framed, tortured and killed him. We should be more like Jesus and not look down on and judge others. The most abominable, un-christlike actions today come from those who claim to act in the name of god.

I think he was in a lot of pain as well. Hard to be calm 😢
As we are to trust the Father and obey.
He was able to discern the true thoughts of men.
This was a perfect example of "don't cast pearls before swine". It's better to be silent
Think of all the righteous men that God chose to lead the Isrealites throughout the ages, and then here you have God in the flesh faced with this thing, seeing for himself how far his chosen people fell.
I have thrown pearls to swines many times in my life….I am hard at learning.
But I do learn…Thanks Jesus ❤
Seriously. Casting pearls to one swine can ruin your life.
Same, but we all have. I don't think we intend to cast pearls before swine, but to see the hard hearted come to the truth. That's our heart. We think we can win the mockers over with our many words and skills in debate. However we end up finding out the hard way it doesn't work. We regret it when it's too late - when the words have been spoken but resound back in our faces. Only God can soften our hearts to bring us to a place of repentance.

watching this movie, Jim Caviezel's performance becomes much more meaningful knowing that while filming, he prayed to God to not let the audience see him but Jesus through him. I think thats why Passion of The Christ stands out among Jesus movies.

That man felt compassion from Jesus
First time to see that. Thanks.
He saw the Human of Jesus & not the God!! Not saying that as a Bad thing, he just saw a Human being Mockes
the man he looked at was a slave thats why he looked at him
An interesting subtext to this scene is that there are two sets of villains in the room: Herod and the pharisees. Neither likes the other. The pharisees are rightly disgusted by Herod's hedonism, while Herod sees through their pretensions.
The Herods, who were Idumæans, lived like pagans.
Even Herod was like "bruh he is no criminal just an old crazy man" that make the Pharisies mad not sence him to death but give him a home instead.
Those were the Sadducees not the Pharisees, but you're absolutely right.
Lots of ppl act like Herod in todays world
So Herod is the hero bc he's honest
The humility and self control that Jesus has is amazing. Hallelujah!
Well, in order to have ALL power and ALL glory, he had to be the most humble man to EVER walk the face of the earth. God didn't give him everything for no reason.....
Yea. I wish I had that self control. It would really help with my wanking problem.

This is, you know, an actor. In a movie. Based on the writings of men, that only used those writings to gain power and commit massive atrocities in their name.. So uh.. yeah, okay.
The guy playing Herod is a stellar actor. His body language and eye movements. Absolutely fantastic.
His Aramaic accent is also spot on.
You knew him?
@@littleblackduck3134 No. Whatever gave you that idea?
it's very funny that most of the people says that Luca De Dominicis (the name of the italian actor who play Herod), was a great actor, because he's never be an actor, he's a founder of a videogame magazine in italy. He never played in another movie. Never anymore.
Costumes are really beautiful. Very hellenistic.
That brief, silent eye contact exchange with the African slave was so powerful.
It gets me every time. The small glance of Jim's eye is genius.
Without saying a word, the slave says: "Lord, I'm not part of this".
One of the most powerful parts of the entire film & it only lasts a few seconds.

You my brother are guilty of the same thing…All of us have been at one point
Well, Jesus didn't look like a God, he was just a human, maybe that's your answer. I doubt it if you recognized a God in him if you met him face to face.
That’s what the Pharisees did
WOW
how could anyone know? there is no god.
Its "Do NOT throw your pearls BEFORE swine" NOT "Give pearls to swine" basically "Do NOT Place words of wisdom in the Ears of Fools"! As Fools will NOT understand and will react aggressively towards you,because you have shown them up for the Fools that they are! Very common today!
I don't think it specifically means to never place words of wisdom in the ears of fools. After all, we are all fools, and we all need wisdom. Jesus commands us fools to go out and spread the Gospel to other fools. However if you know that someone is antagonistic, emotional, will never listen to a single thing you've said (like the pharisees) don't waste your pearls of wisdom on them. Jesus could have uttered the most wise and eloquent speech a human being has ever heard when questioned and attacked by the Pharisees. However, it would be as much of a waste as throwing pearls before swine, the swine does not appreciate the pearl for it's true value. The Pharisees were like hounds, and would have attacked and doubted the Son of Man no matter what He said. At least that is how I understand it.

I disagree, it was a caricature of what likely happened. It reminded me of Star Wars where the whole bar is looking at Luke.

He was a wicked man and Jesus knew his heart. There was no redemption in him whatsoever. He already was on the wide path.
Sometimes it's like this between a follower of Christ and a non-believer. I had someone recently mock my beliefs and ask me to provide proof that God exists. I asked them to specify the type of proof that would transform them from a non-believer to a believer. This caught them by surprise, because they did not desire to believe, but simply debate and defend their position. Someone who is not ready to believe will not no matter what you put before them. Jesus said "He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying." But many don't, and we have to be willing to move on rather than toiling in unproductive soil.

*The only man who felt SHAME for the company that was around him and could not look Christ in the eye because of it. Perhaps the only man there who knew the trial for the sham that it was!* (O:44)
@Christus Veritas. Just like Simon of Cyrene......
It wasn't really a trial, more like an informal examination. The formal trial was before the Sanhedrin, but they lacked the authority to pass a death sentence on their own, so they went to Pilate, and he in turn sent Jesus to Herod hoping Herod would take the problem off his hands, but Herod sent him back mostly because he feared a backlash from the people if he was the one who had Jesus executed. None of them really cared whether Jesus was innocent or guilty, what to do with him was a political decision, and Pilate's waffling was because he needed the cooperation of the Temple priests to rule Judea but was also afraid of popular unrest if he killed a popular religious leader. Don't think any of them had the slightest qualms about executing a man they knew to be innocent.
The little details in this movie are the reason why it has transcended time
Herod wouldn't have valued the words Jesus would have spoken....what does that tell you about us....what do we value
Incredibly profound comment. I really spent a few minutes pondering it and how true it is
*Herod Antipas
Except for very very few, the world values nothing of importance. Only what evil has blinded them too. I'm ready to die for Christ, as He took MY sins on that cross.
No he was mocking him. I would say Jesus showed them great mercy as he had the power to annihilate everyone in that room on the spot.
Reminds me of the book of Ecclesiastes. Everything we have in the material world-our wealth, possessions, family, friends, us will eventually be gone. Erased from existence, leaving nothing but ash and dust. Our entire lives is not even a spec of sand in a seashore. We can choose to chase the pleasures of this world, with all it's falsehoods, or the one truth we have in this life, Jesus Christ.
I love how only one in the entire room... 0:48 ...knew He is King, and acknowledged Him by bowing. I sometimes feel when I go to adoration, and kneel on the floor, bowing down to my Lord and my God, that some think I'm a bit 'over the top'. He IS King of the universe, of this world, of Everything and we should enter His sanctuary on our knees, on our bellies! We are arrogant and prideful - 2 things that will send one to hell if they do not overcome them, by His grace and by His mercy. Learn to bow, and learn how to kneel and give the Creator and Son the honor They deserve. We Are Nothing compared to them. Nothing. And yet the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit work for our good, knowing we can't make it out of this world without Them. If you haven't known God, now is especially a urgent time too... for soon Christ will return, and when He does, it is as Judge... and your sins will be judged. Give your heart and life to Christ while there' still time!!!
Bowed in shame at the knowing even though he was just a toy or slave of Herod he was still part of that festering puss pool.
Never let anyone question your adoration to the Lord. Those who question you will question the Lord, and questions lead to doubt
Thank you. My parents would fall on the floor and bow in prayer and I have done it before. God answered my deepest prayers when I did. We need to start doing this.
Bowing and prostrations is the right way to worship and honor our Lord and creator of everything.
@@Hoi4o Bowing and prostrations mean nothing if your heart is not that which "bows" by loving one another and being steadfast in faith. unconditional love for your bothers and sisters and an undying faith and obedience to his every word is how you show your devotion to the lord.

I love this scene because it’s a message for us all. Jesus was so humble and silent that he would not look Herod in the eye because he knew he was swine. They spat on him and mocked him. This is what Hell looks like. Whether you’re a believer or not, there’s going to be a day when you’re going to be judged. Jesus will be your only ticket out of Hell.

This is a reference to Jesus' teaching about "not giving pearls to swine". He perfectly demonstrate that particular teaching of his on this scene.
The Herodes palace It is the best reflection of society these days. Mel Gibson was a visionary in this: everything that surrounds Herod, every effeminate courtier, every prostitute and strange characters are a perfect allusion to the 2030 agenda, to the end of the times in which we live. Satan's work is what reigns today: lust, depravity, wars, arrogance, ignorance, misery, cruelty.
Up to this point we have arrived... that the followers of Christ have it more difficult every day and we are even persecuted.
Herod wasn’t looking for the truth or salvation he was looking for entertainment looking to Jesus as if he is some cheap magician doing tricks. And this is truly sad today people still think Jesus is an genie granting wishes or answering requests like God Almighty is our slave. No he become an servant lowering himself to take all of our punishment that we rightfully deserve to free us from our foolishness and sins. 😢
those people laughing were disgusting
Laughter of demons
the silence of Christ teaches us so much...
I TRULY weep for those who mocked him that day!
They were raising their middle finger to the DOOR to Heaven!
Same
Not just the mere door to Heaven, but raised their finger to the King of Heaven. Heaven is about being with Christ, not Christ is about being in heaven.
Ephesians 6:12
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
You do realize none of you are going to heaven right lol?
@@AudioJeep how do you figure?
The black guy was the only one who knew he was the son of god
He loved that impudent man as much as he loved anyone. That's the kind of heart God demands.
Evidence?
@@mcake1234 Read His word and get to know Him!Bless
He's now in hell facing the full holy hatred of God burning .

The greatest Way to win arguments is to say nothing
Silence Is Golden
Don't ever mock Jesus
Mel Gibson is the best of this
They had Christ in the flesh and still did this to him. God hardened their hearts. Thank you for allowing me to believe. Glory be to God 🙌🏽
It's just a movie
god hardened their hearts? So... god actively prevented them from getting saved?
Interesting god you have there
@@AudioJeep sounds more like a sadistical dictator
Lol there is no god!
@@ccptube3468 theres no gay people either lol
Our colleges are full of these mockers, just like the ones shown in this clip, and they will be our next generation of business leaders.
My teacher once said, You know why Jesus never answers Herod when he asks those questions. It's not because he knows he is the son of God, but because Herod is sitting on the throne of the once great King DAVID!!! That should have been Jesus's throne but he did not take it. He could have taken it when he wanted at that time, but he didnt. That shows you the strength and power and self-control that God instilled in his son. Herod was not an idiot and knew alll about the foretold "Messiah". That which makes this scene so powerful!!!👑
He gave attention to the believer. Its crazy how powerful even the small thing are when it comes to Him.
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Exodus 14 14
Imagine GOD seeing this and the angles in heaven must have been crying.
Becoming a Fool for Christ! -King YHWH
I feel that way some days speaking of Him, trying to correct others, but He has asked us to. I shall be a fool only for God and for Christ and the Holy Spirit. I am beginning to care not for what others think.... Judgement is coming and we must be prepared. Jesus, I trust in You, lead me when the fires strike and keep me focused only on you.
Leopard is like ‘I’m so sick of these cants’.
Guy played Herod nailed his role, genius.
Who else appreciates how soft and squishy the King actor is ( lazy life of hedonism) and Jesus ( carpenter) is angular and strong? Good casting.
Look at how pitiful Herod's court was, nothing in comparison to the nobility and greatness displayed by David and Solomon's court during the golden ages of the kingdom of Israel, it's no wonder Jesus kept his mouth shut, this fool of a king was an insult to his royal lineage.
Was Herod even from David's lineage? Wasn't he from Nabataea ?
Ya jesus was actually from davids blood line not herod
@@dhlhthriwdhskissos9606 Not only was he not from the line of David, he wasn't even Jewish. His father (Herod the Great) was the son of an Edomite, descendants of Jacob's brother Esau (neither Israelite nor Jewish.) and a Nabatean. Herod Antipas here was born to one of his father's wives who was a Samaritan.
Really puts into perspective how much God Loved The Davídic dynasty long past in the old covenant with the abundant blessings and greatness that Israel obtained during David and Solomon’s kingship. Nothing ever topped it since, less this foreign rule of Herods’. I Can only imagine that Jesus was thinking of how fallen the earthly kingship that his own Father gave them was not a mere resemblance to what it once was so long ago.
The fact that Jesus is standing there being hated by so many and he doesn't say a word when he too was being judged makes this scene all too powerful Slience can say alot more... Jesus was no fool he knew the whole story from day 1 and he told his followers he would die and be rejected and hated. "Remember if the world hates you they hated me first!" Jesus died for me I will die for him. Jesus can sense a believer in the room he was in too. He was alpha male and he spoke the truth. Some people got it and some didn't Yeshua is the KING.
Amen to that. Praise! Jesus!
One time I was driving home and I felt the presence of Jesus come down and he got right by me. I started getting chills and I felt so comfortable with him.
I knew if I asked him to play any song he would. So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are by nirvana...
I turned on my radio and the song began right on the spot, perfectly.
I started getting flooded on the inside like a waterfall of chills by the Holy Spirit and started crying. I got home and he stayed with me for 10 minutes til I got out of the car.
After that my faith got strong enough that I didn't doubt anymore and I've been getting answered prayers for nearly 5 years. Many involving other people. Just praying in Jesus name and following the Biblical instructions.
What biblical instructions
Sure, that happened. I'm unconvinced, to say the least.
@@macavalli2619 Here are some tips. God can still answer your prayers without all this kind of, but if you really want to pull things down and make it happen...
A. Keep the commandments best you can. John 15 for reference.
B. Forgive everyone. It's obeying God. I forgive as soon as I feel unforgivness. This doesn't mean not getting some people out of your life. It's good for your soul and one of the most important things to do for yourself too.
C. Be an actual believer Christian who has the Holy Spirit and wants to serve Him where it counts at least.
D. Pray to the Father in Jesus name. I do talk to Jesus a ton though. Either way though, He hears us really.
E. Pray without doubting. To get rid of doubt I recommend reading the Word when you wake up. Dedicate that 5 to 20 minutes to God. I only read 1 chapter anymore. Don't watch things that make you doubt too often. Amass as much non-doubt as you can. Watch good sermons from reliable preachers. Spend time in His presence. Cleaner television. Etc...
F. Pray with authority of who you truly are. You're a child of God. He is infinite and has given us authority over many things.
G. I say "I place a demand and I decree in Jesus name, amen It's not like a spoiled brat making demands. It's like a demand being placed on a package you ordered. With authority.
H. Fasting can give you a very powerful edge. Even a meal a day or only eating veggies. I don't ever do this anymore, because I don't doubt.
I. Praying from under the Shadow of of His wings, that it speaks about in Psalms 91. It gives you an edge and much more. You can speak from that place too. I don't have to do this anymore either unless I want to or it's a harder prayer.
J. The more you pray the stronger they get. It goes up and down though as it developes.
K. A prayer closet gives you an edge and is a great place to spend time with Him.
L. Don't let pride get a hold of you once you do get answered prayers, because it leads to shame, and can destroy your life until you deal with it.
@@nonprogrediestregredi1711 Well I am telling the truth. It is written that there are 7 things God especially detests. Two of them are "hands that shed innocent blood" and another is a "false witness." If I was lying about these things, it would be as evil to God as murdering an innocent. satan is the father of all lies.
Other people have been a part of my prayers many times.
There have been 3 people at my church who had stage 4 cancer and the church prays for them and they've been healed over night.
I had a woman call me not too long ago and she told me she was healed from schizophrenia after I prayed for her a long time ago. Which according to scientists is impossible to heal from, I hear.
We had a deaf woman at my other church who was healed by church prayer and can hear.
Not too long ago, I told a co-worker 2 stories and asked if I could pray for him and he said yeah. I grabbed his hands and prayed for his family, finances, and things. I came to work 4 days later. He said he had gotten promoted to GM Manager over a bunch of different stores. Getting paid from 900 to 1600, max tips on reg, and his wife was getting insane overtime money. I mentioned that we prayed and he looked at me like he saw a ghost.
@@dc_latername9064 i appreciate you taking the time to write this out. See GOD answered one of my prayers instantly--this was the 1st time I prayed in over 2 decades... I then got arrogant/prideful and he immediately took away what He gave...
I was shook as it was a substantial sum of money
I don't care too much about what I lost because now I know GOD is real and He loves us and I can make do with less when He's by my side
Stay blessed brother 🙏
The ugly truth is that so many people hated Jesus for what he stood for and what he was all about. Yeshua was his real name which means he who helps. Jesus was slient when he was being mocked and hated. That's basically smart b/c slience can say alot more. Nobody knew or understood what he was saying and trying to do. He was the messiah and he came to save the world. Jesus died for me I will die for him! He was hated and Jesus knew what he was up against and in the end he won.
I have to remember my Lord and be silent as I am being persecuted by my own family because of him. Thank you Lord for your strength ❤
One of the greatest scenes in a great movie.
Thank you for dying for me Lord ❤️
No problem
This scene reminds a lot of the opeing scenes of return of the jedi
Fact: majority of the interior shots were realized at cinecitta studios in Rome Italy, most of the actors in this movie are italians including the actor portraying Herod, the calvary scene was filmed outside of the city of Matera also in Italy.
The best version of Jesus! Mel Gibson and Jim C did an amazing job !!!
Jesus does not even bother to acknowledge Herrod for he knows it will not prevent his coming sacrifice to redeem our sins. This was very powerful and profound scene
0:46 I swear, everytime I see this guy’s eyes, mouth, and his headgear, I always think he’s some of snake. 🐍
I feel like such a swine, I’ve continually failed over and again at sobriety. I feel like God has given me so many chances yet I proverbially spit in Gods face whenever I sin.
Lord help me.
Take it day by day 🧘♂️🙏♎️
Sobriety from what? Alcohol in moderation isn't a sin. Jesus Himself drank wine.
@@nicknickson3650 oh trust me I know. I used to justify that to my self all the time. It’s become sinful for me because I have not been able to do it in moderation. And when it’s sin best to cut it out.
It may not be a sin for you but drinking is definitely an occasion of sin for me.
@@cleocatra9324 I know exactly what you mean. Stay away from the booze, brother!

The guy that plays King Herod is a great actor
And Herod here seems like a total fruitcake.
@Matt Klubeck more than likely accurate.
@@gwwashambecause historically he most likely was..according to that culture
@@mattklubeck9092 you can't trust Mel Gibson to be impartial about it. The character is definitely coded as gay. Conservative media also has an agenda.
@@mattklubeck9092 Probably not too far off. Herod Antipas was not as cruel as his father, but he was quite 'hellenised' and enjoyed things in life that the devout jews would have seen as 'decadent'. Like wine drinking parties and the theatre.
Jesus Christ ✝️ is Amazing ❤ he is greatest man who ever Lived he is the one true Lord and Master
At any single moment he could have said one word and the ground Would have opened up and swallowed them all yet. He stayed silent and submitted to the will of the father
Just one look and the man recognizes the Son of God.
I'm coming
lol jon tron really nailed it as king harod
Holy crap, is he really?
The similarities are insane! Please tell me it's true!
He knew whatever he'd said would go right over their heads or they would find a way and turn it into mockery.
They have him in chains, lol, why would Jesus ever entertain them. Or anyone for that matter?
The black servant, that's me, ashamed, embarrassed for the lord looked upon me, and I unworthy to be in his presence, have mercy on me, lord, for I know what I do.
The King of King!
The Lord of Lord!!
The Saviour of the world!!!
Humanity don't deserve such Love and Mercy you've bestow us with. You will forever be praised ❤️🙏💐
It's too much
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 2:16).
I love you, Jesus!!!!!
Christ simply knows He doesn't need to prove Himself.. He knows the right time to talk and display His power. ..in total obedience to His Father
