HERE'S A REPORT on the four-minute clip of The Passion which was shown at the Christian "Harvest Crusade" in Anaheim on Friday night. It says that the offensive passage in Matthew 27:25 is left out. The writer of the article also thinks that Aramaic is a "dead language," which would be news to the Chaldean and Assyrian Christians. The Mandeans also use Aramaic in their religious rites, although I'm not sure that any of them speak it as a main language any more.
