As you can see I have adjusted my previous post after looking the thing up.

The line is, Caiaphas : "His blood [is] on us and on our children!" and it is actually in Mathew (27:25) ergo my alteration (though it is spoken by the crowd some of whom presumably were not Jews and not by Caiaphas himself).

This has traditionally been used in the anti-semitic description of the Jews as "Christ Killers" and the Catholic church has gone out it's way to avoid this interpretation.

It has published guidelines for Catholics who wish to depict the Passion most of which Gibson failed to comply with.

He was urged by a cast member who's father suffered during the Holocaust to drop the line.

The subtitle was removed but the sound is still there.

You'd have to be an Aramaic speaker to notice it though.
