From Kingpin-
Brother Thomas, you know what it says in the Bible about not forgiving people.
Why don't you tell us all what it says?
Well, it's against it.
Just like the movie, you can't pick your favorite words out of context. Matthew 22:15-22 from the New International Version:
Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
"Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
Some Jews believed the new Testament promised the Messiah would lead the Jewish insurrectionists in a war to drive the Romans from Jewish lands so being against such a war would prove he wasn't the Messiah. Others just wanted a reason they could use to get the Romans to arrest him so the Jewish leaders figured they could use any answer he gave against him. Alot of incidences in the bible show Jewish leaders trying to get the Romans to arrest and kill what they considered a false Messiah and his disciples. It was exceedingly difficult to do to the Roman citizen Paul since the Roman beuracrats kept trying to avoid the question by sending it up the chain of command.
