Source: Many movie details relating to Satan are drawn from Sister Anne Emmerich's visions, recorded in "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ." In "The Dolorous Passion," Satan says to Jesus, "Takest thou even this sin upon thyself? Art thou willing to bear its penalty? Art thou prepared to satisfy for all these sins?" Emmerich also envisioned "the serpent. saving their souls is too costly " Satan sends a snake to bite Jesus Jesus crushes the snake's head in an allusion to Genesis 3:15. In the movie but not the Bible: Satan watches as Jesus prays (Jesus' prayers are drawn from the Psalms) Satan tempts Jesus, saying "Do you really believe one man can carry this burden?. Still others just seem to make for a more dramatic narrative.īelow are both Bible citations and nonbiblical sources for selected movie scenes.īible references: Mt 26:36-46 Mk 14:32-42 Lk 22:39-46 Other added scenes seem to make Caiaphas more villainous and Pontius Pilate more sympathetic. Sensing Jesus' pain, she says, in Hebrew, "Why is this night unlike any other night?" This is a famous part of the Jewish liturgy for Passover, the season during which Jesus was crucified. For example, at one point when Jesus is first being beaten, Mary awakens, as if from a nightmare. Some seem to highlight the Jewishness of Jesus and his family. It's hard to divine a pattern from the portions that were added. And a few scenes, apparently, are inventions-often artistically daring ones. Some came from other religious sources, like the visions of the mystic nuns Sister Anne Emmerich and Mary of Agreda. Many of Gibson's additions are quite plausible embellishments of brief biblical mentions. "I wanted to be true to the Gospels," Gibson has said of his goals in creating "The Passion of the Christ." In an introduction to a book about his movie, he wrote, "Holy Scripture and accepted visions of the Passion were the only possible texts I could draw from to fashion a dramatic film."īut because scripture is silent on certain details of the Passion, several scenes in the movie aren't found in the Bible.
