The comparison between HIV and leprosy is a proper framework for this examination. Today, HIV is still a stigmatized disease in many communities, but the predominate view is that its sufferers should not be outcasts of society, though the once were. Foundations have arisen to find a cure, and charities often donate to those with HIV in many countries, so that sufferers can obtain their medication. Today, HIV and AIDS, as well as other diseases like cancer, are prime issues in politics, as leaders try to fund scientific efforts to cure them. In Jesus' time, however, lepers, or those with contagious diseases, were seen as outcasts by society. They, too, were political issues, but the issue was how to contain the sufferers, not how to help them. Thus, with this contemporary view of Jesus' political...

There is only a small moment of this doubt in the Gospels, when Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemene wishing that he did not have to die. However, in this movie it is more than that.
