The most moving scene for me in the 1977 film was Jesus telling the centurion, “Go your way; your servant lives.”
The centurion’s other servants come to tell him the miraculous news and have to drag him away while he gazes upon Jesus with rapt awe & gratitude. Ernest Borgnine was the centurion.
Yes, the betrayal scene was so emotional. I was in high school when this came out and it had a very powerful impact on me and my faith at that time.
