The Passion of the Christ (2004)
In Gethsemane, Jesus Christ prays in the night while his disciples Peter, James, and John sleep. Satan appears to Jesus in a hooded ghost-like androgynous, albino form, and tempts him. Jesus’ sweat turns into blood and drips to the ground while a serpent emerges from Satan’s guise. Jesus hears his disciples call for him, and rebukes Satan by crushing the snake’s head. Bribed disciple Judas Iscariot leads a group of temple guards to the forest and betrays Jesus’ identity. As the guards arrest Jesus, a fight erupts wherein Peter draws his dagger and slashes the ear of Malchus, one of the guards and a servant of the high priest Caiaphas. Jesus heals Malchus’ injury while reprimanding Peter. As the disciples flee, the guards secure Jesus, and beat him during the journey to the Sanhedrin.
John informs Mary, mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene of the arrest, while Peter follows Jesus and his captors. Magdalene begs a passing Roman patrol to intervene but a temple guard claims she is unbalanced. Caiaphas holds trial over the objection of some priests who are expelled from the court. False accusations and witnesses are brought against Jesus. When asked by Caiaphas whether he is the Son of God, Jesus replies, “I am”. Caiaphas tears his robes in outrage and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. Peter is confronted by the surrounding mob for being a follower of Jesus. After cursing at the mob during the third denial, Peter flees when he recalls Jesus’s forewarning of his defense. A guilt-ridden Judas attempts to return the money he was paid in order to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. Tormented by demons, he hangs himself.
