Commentary: The dialogue aligns with Mark 14:1-2, Matthew 26:3-5, and John 11:47-53, reflecting the Pharisees’ covert plan to arrest Jesus. Directors took creative liberties with lines like “Only I can save this now” absent from scripture, to heighten drama. References to “Pilate” and “Malchus” add narrative depth, loosely tied to John 11:48 and John 18:10.
