Quotes 

• Jesus : Come to me, come and listen to me. Come to me!

  Tamar : [sees Jesus]  Mother!

  Rachel : Come on Tamar, I should never have brought you to the fields today.

  Tamar : It's him! The carpenter from Sepphoris!

• Rachel : We must take her to him.

  Jairus : What?

  Rachel : We must take her to Jesus.

  Jairus : Rachel...

  [Cleopas arrives] 

  Rachel : Oh Cleopas... you must tell him.

  Cleopas : How is she?

  Rachel : She's dying.

  Jairus : No! She is not dying Rachel!

  Rachel : Oh Jairus! Are you that afraid of them? They have such a hold over your life!

  Jairus : God is my life! Not man... not any man!

  Cleopas : I think we should listen to this Jesus.

  Jairus : What?

  Cleopas : No one ever lost their soul by listening to a liar. Only by believing him and following him. And if he speaks the truth...

  Simon the Pharisee : The truth?

  Cleopas : We have nothing to fear from the truth, do we?

  Simon the Pharisee : No, no. We must question Jesus, see how he defends himself.

  Rachel : Yes! We must listen.

  Simon the Pharisee : Why should the people think their leaders do not listen? I will invite Jesus and his band of followers to my home, and we'll see whether he really is God's prophet.

• Tamar : [gasping for air]  Father?

  Jairus : [taking her in his arms]  Yes, I'm here.

  Tamar : Am I going to die?

  Jairus : No.

  [holds her close] 

  Jairus : *No.*

  Rachel : She keeps saying his name. Jesus.

  Tamar : Yes. Take me to Jesus.

  Pharisee : [in Jairus' memory]  Anyone who follows Jesus is an enemy of God!

  Jairus : No.

  [Tamar and Rachel weep] 

  Jairus : No. No I will not listen to them. I will go. I will go to Jesus.

  Rachel : You will?

  Jairus : Yes.

  [points to Tamar] 

  Jairus : And you will be healed by his power.

  [Tamar smiles] 

  Jairus : By the power of God!
