On the way down, Jesus has picked up a couple of lepers and they follow him into the cathedral. The cathedral custodian spots them and reports this to Sheen. Sheen goes to Spellman,

Sheen: "They're here!"

Spellman: "Who's here" Get back to your blackboard."

Sheen: "Jesus is here and he's got some nice Jewish boy with him."

Sheen (Aside to the lepers) "Don't touch anything, fellas."

The command from the Gospels is clear. There is no excuse.

I can't find one.
