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. The Roman soldiers in Palestine spoke Latin, while the entire Roman Empire was using Greek, which the Jews elected not to use because they believed it was a mark of secularization. In the movie, Jesus also spoke Hebrew when he was reciting the prayer called The Passion. Their original language, Hebrew, was relegated to liturgy and religious writings. The Jews that were imprisoned in Babylon adopted the language.

In the movie, Jesus and His disciples spoke Old Aramaic. Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic are the languages used in the dialogue. The production people of the movie endeavored to ensure the authenticity of the depiction of the environment and culture at that time, down to the languages spoken during the specific period in history. The movie starts with the Agony in the Gethsemane Garden to the grievance and insomnia of the Mother of Christ, the brutal scourging of Christ, and His crucifixion to His resurrection.
