Plot
The film begins with a prisoner watching from the prison bars as Jesus gets flogged in Pilate's courtyard. He remembers Jesus' teaching about "giving to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's." and wonders why they are hurting an innocent man. Saddened, he remembers his own crime: he cornered a rich man in an alley and attempted to rob him. Holding him up with a knife, the thief tries to take a box of coins and belongings. The thief is nervous so when he tries to go after the man, he fumbles. The man fights him with the box, sending coins across the ground. The thief stabs the man in the struggle. He steals the coins and runs off. The flashback ends. He then breaks down in tears, aggrieved at seeing someone innocent suffer an even more brutal punishment as a criminal than himself.
