The script for The Passion of Christ not only adds things that didn't occur in the Bible, it cuts out other things that did. The most widely known example of this being the important declaration, "His blood be on us and on our children." (Matthew 27:25)

Actually the line is still in the movie, it just isn't translated into the subtitles. You have to understand Aramaic to hear it.

BTW that line by the Jews is an example of biblical irony. Those who cried "his blood be upon us" were essentially asking for a curse to come upon them (if he was who he said he was), but the fact is that IF Christ's blood is upon you and your children, then (and only then) will you be blessed.

My cry is that Christ's blood will truly be upon me and my children... and my children's children.
