«BEN: You lucky, lucky bastard. BRIAN: What? BEN: Proper little jailer's pet, aren't we? BRIAN: What do you mean? BEN: You must have slipped him a few shekels, eh? BRIAN: Slipped him a few shekels? You saw him spit in my face! BEN: Ohh! What wouldn't I give to be spat at in the face! I sometimes hang awake at night dreaming of being spat at in the face. BRIAN: Well, it's not exactly friendly, is it? They had me in manacles! BEN: Manacles! Ooh oooh oh oh. My idea of heaven is to be allowed to be put in manacles... just for a few hours.

BEN: Oh, yeah. If we didn't have crucifixion, this country would be in a right bloody mess. BRIAN: Guards! BEN: Nail him up, I say!»

«(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) / Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: / But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, / In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; / By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, / By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, / By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; / As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; / As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.»
