Rob Gardner - Is This Not Enough? lyrics

NARRATION (Woman) When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people Took counsel against Jesus to put him to d**h: And when they had bound Him, they led him away, and delivered him to be tried of Pontius Pilate the Roman Governor. PILATE Ye have brought this man unto me, As one that perverteth the people: And behold, I have examined him before you, And I have found no fault in him, No, nothing for which d**h is worthy! I will therefore chastise him and release him. Take him to be scourged! Now, this is enough! CHOIR (In Aramaic) Ha! Ha gabra! (Behold the Man! ) Emrah dallahha! (The Lamb of God) Losapeqleh? Ha gabra! (Is this not enough?) PILATE Enough! Enough! Behold, Is this not enough? Behold, the Man, the punishment He's bourne, The cruel whip, the mocking scorn... ACCUSER Away with him! PILATE His crimes have seen enough! FALSE WITNESS Away with Him! PILATE Why? What evil hath He done? ACCUSER AND FALSE WITNESS If thou let this man go, ACCUSER Thou art no friend, but Ceasar's foe!
