In order to make the dialogue clear for every moviegoer, Mel Gibson sought the help of Rev. William Fulco. He is a Jesuit priest who received his doctorate from Yale University. He used to teach Aramaic at Yale before transferring to Loyola Marymount University (in Los Angeles) where he teaches ancient Mediterranean studies.
Rev. Fulco deliberately left out Greek and used Latin in the script, creating a distinction between the crude Latin spoken by the soldiers and the elegant Latin enunciated by Pontius Pilate. He said that he took the liberty to insert some linguistic playfulness in the script, which served to illustrate the communication gap between the Roman soldiers who were speaking in Aramaic and the Jewish people who were speaking in Latin. He said he intentionally created dialogue errors through the use of wrong endings for several words as well as wrong pronunciations to highlight the difficulty in communication.
In some of the verbal exchanges between Jesus and Pilate, the latter spoke to Jesus in Aramaic, which was supposed to be the mother tongue of Jesus. But to show that Jesus will not be beaten by Pilate, Jesus answered him in Latin.
Aramaic is a language of the Northwestern or Northern Central Semitic language group belonging to the family of Afroasiatic languages. It was one of the languages originally used by the Aramaeans, a group of ancient people in the Middle East. Plus, it is closely related to Phoenician, Syriac and Hebrew languages.
It was first used by the Aramaeans around the latter part of the 11th century BC and became the second language of the Assyrians in 8th century BC. The spread of the language was attributed to the huge deportations of its speakers caused by the Assyrians. Likewise, it was the lingua franca of the Babylonian merchants, thus, Aramaic became the lingua franca in the Middle East around the 7th and 6th centuries BC, replacing Akkadian. When the Achaemenian Persian dynasty ruled the region, Aramaic became the official language.
At its height, the Aramaic language had many variants. They spoke the dialects in different locations. Today, we know these areas as Northern Arabia, Eastern Arabia, Kuwait, Palestine, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. Speakers also live in some areas in northwest Iran as well as in south central and southeast Turkey.
The language has a long history. They used Biblical or Classical Hebrew in writing most of the Old Testament. During its Rabbinic or Mishnaic period, they used it for Jewish traditions or Mishna. In the Medieval Hebrew phase, they enriched its lexicon with words borrowed from various languages, including Arabic, Spanish and Greek. The fourth phase is Modern Hebrew, which they use today in Israel.
Latin is part of the Indo-European language family and is the root of the Romance languages of modern times. Small communities of the lower part of the Tiber River spoke the language. The rise of the political power of the Romans throughout Europe and central regions of the Mediterranean coast of Africa increased the popularity of this language.
As one of the oldest languages in the world, Latin has undergone many phases and evolutions. It spawned the Romance languages. Originally an oratorical and literary language, aside from being the language of the Catholic Church. It was the language of international communication, science and scholarship and influenced the development of the languages they use in the West.

The Passion of the Christ is a 2004 American epic biblical drama film co-written, co-produced, and directed by Mel Gibson. It stars Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth, Maia Morgenstern as Mary, mother of Jesus, and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene. It depicts the Passion of Jesus largely according to the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It also draws on pious accounts such as the Friday of Sorrows, along with other devotional writings, such as the reputed visions attributed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich.[4][5][6][7]
As per the title, the film primarily covers the final 12 hours before Jesus Christ's death, known as "the Passion". It begins with the Agony in the Garden of Olives (i.e., Gethsemane), continues with the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, the brutal Scourging at the Pillar, the suffering of Mary as prophesied by Simeon, the crucifixion and death of Jesus, and ends with a brief depiction of his resurrection. The narrative is interspersed with moments in Jesus's life, such as The Last Supper and The Sermon on the Mount, and moments of Jesus' early life. The film was mostly shot in Italy.[8] The dialogue is entirely in reconstructed Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. Although Gibson was initially against it, the film is subtitled.
The film was controversial and received polarized reviews from critics; some regarded the film a religious and holy experience, praising the performances of the cast, production values, and John Debney's musical score, while some found it to be antisemitic and the graphic violence to be extreme and emotionally draining. The film grossed over $612 million worldwide[9] and became the fifth highest-grossing film of 2004 internationally at the end of its theatrical run.[3] It is the highest-grossing (inflation unadjusted) Christian film of all time, as well as being the highest-grossing independent film of all time.[10][11] As of 2023, it is the highest-grossing R-rated film in the USA, with $370.8 million.[12] It received three nominations at the 77th Academy Awards in 2005, for Best Makeup, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.[13] A sequel centered on the resurrection of Jesus is in development.[14][15]
On the night of Passover in Gethsemane, Jesus prays with his disciples Peter, James and John beside him. Satan tries to tempt Jesus as his sweat turns into blood and a serpent emerges from Satan's guise. Jesus then rebukes Satan by crushing the serpent's head. Meanwhile, Judas Iscariot, another of Jesus's disciples, is bribed by Caiaphas and the Pharisees with thirty pieces of silver, and leads a group of temple guards to the forest where he betrays Jesus' identity. As the guards arrest Jesus, a fight erupts wherein Peter draws his dagger and slashes the ear of Malchus, the commander of the guards. Jesus heals Malchus' injury while reprimanding Peter. As the disciples flee, the guards secure Jesus and beat him on the way to the Sanhedrin.
Awoken from her sleep, Jesus' mother Mary senses something is wrong and speaks with Magdalene. John barges into their room and informs them of the arrest, and they reunite with Peter who has followed Jesus and his captors. Caiaphas holds trial during which false accusations are made against Jesus. Some priests, who object to the trial and secretly support Jesus, are expelled from the court. When Jesus claims he is the Son of God, Caiaphas angrily tears his robes and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. As Jesus is brutally beaten, Peter is confronted by the mob and he denies being a follower of Jesus. After cursing them during the third denial, Peter remembers Jesus' forewarning, then weeps bitterly and flees. Meanwhile, a guilt-ridden Judas attempts to return the money to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. Haunted by demons, Judas uses a rope from a donkey's rotting corpse to hang himself.
