Messala: By what magic do you bear the name of a Consul of Rome?Judah Ben-Hur: You were the magician, Messala. When my ship was sunk, I saved the Consul's life.
It's a strange destiny that brought me to a new life... a new home... a new father. It brought me here. It may take me away. But wherever I may be... I shall always try to wear this ring as a son of Arrius should. With gratitude and affection... and with honor.
Persuade your people that their resistance to Rome is stupid. It is worse than stupid, futile!
In his eagerness to save you, your God has also saved the Roman fleet.
