@@IgnatzKolisch No but middle English did and the two are close enough to be able to understand each other. Now olde English, as in Anglo Saxon, gets really difficult.
I love how the knight was so quiet and chill - he just saw a dude age 100 years, turn into a skeleton and dissolve into dust - all in 10 seconds - and didn’t even flinch. Clearly they weren’t the first people to go in there and pick the wrong chalice and die
This is such a fantastic scene. The knight watches Indiana's facial expressions when the other two walk in. He realizes something is wrong. Even though they are centuries apart, he can tell those two are bad news. That's why he gave Indy hints at the correct cup. This scene shows that if you pay close enough attention, you can read people in any time period.
Excellent detail. Something I hadn't picked up, even after watching it countless times for decades. I just rewatched it and you're 100% right. He looks at Indy when talking about the puzzle and the mindset to solve it, but then looks at the Nazis when talking about the doom.
I always love that when Indy points out the real Grail, it pans over to it, but it's almost fades into the background because of the false grails in front of it.
It also helps that at first, the rack focus is on the bejeweled one, giving a general person the false impression of wait, that's not right, only for the focus to shift to the actual cup and were left humbled
"I was chosen because I was the bravest,the most worthy.thee Honor was mine,till another came to challenge me to single combat.i pass it to you.. who vanquished me." This part always gets me in the feels
He sounds very relieved about it as well. He had been guarding the grail for centuries, holding to his duty all that time, and now he could finally retire from it and receive his reward, to reunite with his brothers in the kingdom of god.
I was maybe 6 when this movie came out.This was the first movie I ever watched in theater. I vividly remember this scene because when the knight said "he chose.....poorly" the audience erupted in crazy laughter. What a classic line.
I like how when he holds up the false grail, you can see the stainless steel washer on the bottom holding the stem on. That would've been a clue it wasn't the real one lol
Well, most people don't consider to look at the entire view of an object (only the top, and sides, and whatever will not be touch a surface, particularly the wall and floor). Guess we should do that when shopping next time.
Something Ive never noticed before, the 2 characters after Indy never really stop to realise who the knight is .. their first dialogue to him is 'Which is it?', whereas Indy is amazed that there is anyone there.

I must point out one thing. If she had given him the right cup, it would not have made him immortal. The knight said, "The grail cannot pass beyond the great seal. That is the boundary. And the price of immortality." So, you're immortal, but only while you're in the cave. Which means the Grail would not have done the Nazis any good even if they had managed to get it out of the cave. As proof, consider that his father had died in "Crystal Skull".

The Nazis didn't really understand much about Jesus unsurprisingly, considering he was a Jew. The leadership, generally, were atheists or ariosophists (basically racist astrology larping as paganism).
Even though the grail couldn't leave the temple, The fact that the area could have been converted into a hospital and people the world over could have come there to be healed, maybe not immortal, but healed of their injuries and sickness, cancers and deformities. This I feel would have been a worthy legacy of the cup and Christ.
@@Rikrik1138 maybe the cave was a sort of tomb or THE TOMB (of the rich) back when Christ walk the land. And his blessing only confined to that general area because he is no longer on the earth to spread it out
IMHO this is the best of the Indiana Jones series. It has so many memorable lines AND Faith is woven into it. I love how the Knight bids them farewell as they are leaving to return home.
@CapitalNick I know. I'm just saying. Let her leave with The Grail and then when she goes to use it for nefarious purposes(i.e. making Hitler immortal), she learns (and gets killed for it) that The Grail doesn't work and, too late, understands what the Knight meant when he said the price of immortality is that The Grail had to stay within the established limits and now, it is useless for all time
This was a great Movie! I loved watching it!! I loved the treasure hunt and the traveling to places and how one place leads to another in a race to get the grail !! Such a timeless Movie!! One of my favorite Movies for sure!!
She did, obviously... she told Indy that it would not be made out of gold. I mean it makes sense Jesus was a Carpenter I don't think he would be using a gold cup at the last supper.
@@2a4me96 Yup. And it's not like she's loyal to him, a rich guy who cares nothing about archaeology itself, just wants to exploit it, just like the rich guy exploiting the Nazis. While Indy is there purely to save his father. Ironic, since he's the archaeologist.
2:49.......these years later and I am still impressed by his body's ability to keep growing hair even as it disintegrates to dust! Excellent genes, simply flawless!
The knight was humble enough to know that he was too old to fight and gave Indie his sword as a gesture of honor and respect, THEN the others came into the room and he realized that some shady stuff was up with them.
After my disastrous first marriage member of my family (when talking about my horrible ex), would always say "she chose poorly". Of course that got it from this move but they were unfortunately right.
So, by this sequence, Indiana Jones should be granted extended life. He should be feasibly able to live until he's 100 or more due to drinking from the holy grail.
Cant imagine how indy goes on to become a miserable old man knowing he saw the arc of the covenant and drank from the cup of Christ. You would think he would be happy knowing their's an afterlife awaiting him. And this life is just a test.
He picked the wrong chalice. For some reason the producer assumes that as Jesus was a carpenter, He made his own Chalice. But if you read the Bible, you will find that He had been given or hired out a room, the upstairs room for Passover, as such the chalice was provided by the inn owner. To add to that As Jesus is King the inn owner could well have provided the best chalice that he had available, just as Jesus had been anointed with expensive oil.
The outside of the chalice was clay. The inside of the chalice was gold. Therefore, Jesus didn't make it, since he could not have afforded gold when he was a carpenter.
@@travismiller5548 There are no fairies in the Bible, and I doubt they would have tales anyway. Reproducing historical fact incorrectly, and then attempting to correct it isn't "trying to make it make sense".
@@travismiller5548 You're actually correct because while there was a cup that caught Jesus' blood in the New Testament of the bible, the whole Holy Grail thing is Arthurian tales, when King Arthur is ill and the three knights of the Round Table go out to find the Grail and it's Sir Galahad that find it. That part I'm pretty sure is not in the Bible.
I don't think so. Otherwise how would Joseph have it to catch Jesus blood...they wouldn't steal it from the inn? And since when do you use gold cups in a room...not even the Pilate was using a gold cup I bet.
@@khabbad Humbly noted. I assumed Crusade area English would have some common words shared with todays English. Or maybe French would have been more realistic?
@@BABBASTICKY yea maybe. I remember reading years ago about how different “old English” was basically unrecognizable….night of been cooler if the Knight spoke Latin. Either way I love this film, they don’t make adventures like this anymore
Indiana could have chosen any of the cups. It was his attitude and reason for choosing that made the difference. All he wanted was to heal his father, not rule the world.
He’s known for his search for fortune and glory, but this time it was more about rekindling his relationship with his father and having enough faith in God to complete the quest.
They didn't speak modern English back in the crusader period. A well educated English knight templar would speak Latin and certain varieties of French and probably middle English. Of course, many were uneducated too. Indiana should know some Latin at least.
I always thought Indy should have been an immortal paladin at this point, waiting for the end of time and guarding the covenant. I really wanted Nazi zombies, too. Since the knight aged they could have used an older Harrison Ford and gave him a truly heroic ending where he passes the Ark on to the next chosen people. I know people aren't religious like they were but ancient science and ET doesn't really cut it for an Indiana Jones movie. Might as well embrace the theme.
@esportsacademy8749That would have been cool as well, I thought after watching the 3rd film he'd do a dig for it. I really wanted Sean Connery for another film but they waited too long.
I like how the movie explains how Henry Sr was able to be saved and yet became mortal again. As the knight said, "pass the seal with the grail, and that is the price of immortality."
4:30 God the music is so heavenly precious and glorious, I come from a catholic family and I became a non-believer at the age of 13, but that music and this scene still gives me chills, thanks John Williams. God how I love the Indiana Jones movies, even if they're not from my time.
Watching this film with my grandma: Me: If he drank from the chalice of eternal life, why is he so old? My grandma: He was already pretty old when he found it. Expanded universe lore: Though drinking from the Grail had extended the Grail Knight's life beyond any normal mortals, the centuries spent in isolation had sapped his strength. Every time the Knight's spirit wavered, he physically aged a year I liked my grandma's explanation better 😅
Beatiful scene, yet a bit unprecise regarding the appearance of the Holy Grail. Let me shine a little light on how it reall looked like. This fragment was taken from the vision of blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich - german mystic whom God allowed to see the past and all the things that occured - especially the life and death of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Let me cite the fragment about the Holy Grail (Anne Catherine saw the whole preparatins towards the Last Supper with the apostles, and this is the depiction of the holy chalice she saw): "The apostles received various vessels here, some of which the disciples carried to the Cenacle in covered baskets; they also took from here the chalice that Jesus used to institute the Blessed Sacrament. The chalice in question was a strange vessel of mysterious origin. For a long time it rested in the temple among other ancient and valuable vessels, the purpose and origin of which had long been forgotten, just as now many ancient, sacred gems have been forgotten with the passage of centuries and changes in circumstances. From time to time, obsolete, unused vessels and jewels were selected in the temple, sold, or allowed to be processed differently, as needed. And there were many attempts to remake this most holy vessel, but the chalice, made of some unknown metal, could not be melted in the fire, so it was abandoned. By God's will, young priests once found it in the temple treasury, abandoned it along with some junk in a chest, and offered it for sale to lovers of antiquity as old, forgotten equipment. The entire suit, i.e. the chalice with all the accessories, was then bought by St. Veronica and it was already served by Jesus at Christmas feasts more than once, and from the Last Supper it became the permanent possession of the community of Christ's followers. The chalice included an entire portable suit, prepared according to the purpose it was to fulfill, i.e. to institute the Blessed Sacrament. Of course, it wasn't there in the past, but I don't remember when, and whether it was not at the request of the Lord himself that this addition was made. The whole device looked like this: There was a large goblet on a flat plate and six small cups around it. There was a kind of pull-out drawer in this plate, but I don't remember whether it contained the sacred or not. In the chalice itself there was a second, smaller vessel, and on the chalice there was a plate covered with a vaulted dome. There was a deliberate compartment in the base of the cup for a small spoon. All the vessels were covered with a thin fabric and usually covered with a large hollow hemisphere, like an umbrella, apparently made of leather, with a knob at the top. The chalice consisted of a proper wine cup and a saucer, probably added later; the stand was made of a different material, and the cup itself was made of some brown mass, as smooth as the glass of a mirror. It was pear-shaped, with two lifting eyes on the sides, because it was quite heavy. It was all gilded or lined with gold. The base was made artificially from dark golden ore. It was surrounded by a snake and a vine made of the same material, and was also set with precious stones. In the base, as I already mentioned, there was a compartment for a small spoon. The chalice was later kept by James the Younger in the Jerusalem church. I know that until now it is safely hidden somewhere and one day it will come to light again in due time, as it does now until the last supper. Smaller cups came into the possession of other churches, and so one was in Antioch, another in Ephesus; In total, these vessels fell into seven churches. These cups once belonged to the Patriarchs, who drank from them a mysterious drink when receiving or giving a blessing, as I have seen and told in my time. The beginning of the great cup is lost in the mists of time. Noah already had it and placed it on the top of the ark during the flood. Melchizedek brought it with him from the land of Semiramis, where it had been abandoned, to Canaan, when he established settlements in Jerusalem; in it he offered bread and wine to Abraham, and left it to him. Later I saw him at Moses' place. The mass from which it was made was as dense as the mass of a bell. It did not seem to have been forged by human hands, but as if nature itself had shaped it and had emerged from the womb of the earth. When it was created and from what was known only to Jesus himself. I predicted it. It is not known whether the saintly Catherine meant to say that the cup was transparent, or whether she had foreseen it or guessed it in her spirit.".
Grail Knight : You're strangely dressed for a knight. Indiana Jones : What exactly? A knight? What do you mean? Grail Knight : I was chosen because I was the bravest, the most worthy. The honor was mine until another came to challenge me to single combat... [offering his sword to Indiana Jones] Grail Knight : I pass to you who'll vanquish me. Indiana Jones : Listen, I don't have time to explain, but... [footsteps approaching] Walter Donovan : Which one is it? Grail Knight : You must choose, But choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you. Walter Donovan : I'm not a historian. I have no idea what it looks like. Which one is it? Elsa Schneider : Let me choose. Walter Donovan : Thank you, Doctor. Oh, yes. It's more beautiful than I'd ever imagined. This certainly is the cup of the King of Kings. Eternal life. [sighs] [groans] What is happening to me? Elsa Schneider : Oh! [screaming] Walter Donovan : Tell me, what is happening? Elsa Schneider : [screaming] Walter Donovan : [groaning] [wind whistling] Grail Knight : He chose... poorly. Elsa Schneider : It would not be made out of gold. Indiana Jones : That's the cup of a carpenter. There's only one way to find out. Grail Knight : You have chosen wisely. But the Grail cannot pass beyond the Great Seal. That is the boundary and the price of immortality. [sizzling] Henry Jones Sr. : [groans] [sighs]
Interesting to note that the word Carpenter is different in Hebrew. The Greek translation means woodworker (or something like that) but Hebrew means architect, which in the context considering most of the buildings are made of clay and stone at the time makes a bit of sense of the Grail's clay-like appearance.

100 years? More like a thousand years.
More like he had unbelievable faith in God, knowing that a power that kept him alive for that long would certainly also provide certain death
My man clearly knew what was going to happen. He also knew Indy was a good man and, judging by Indy's reaction to Donovan, that Donovan was evil.
I would say the reaction would be more a case of "Bugger! Where did I leave the broom and dust pan!"
The floor there has quite a lot of dust, doesn't it?
'That's the cup of a carpenter.' So badass, yet so humble. I love this scene.
Elsa knew as well. "It cannot be made out of gold" is a clear testament of it
Harrison Ford was a carpenter before he became an actor. That’s actually how he met George Lucas
What’s weird is that the real grail appears to be coated in gold on the inside when it should have been just wood or maybe clay.
I think it is symbolic, "common on the outside, divine on tge inside", like Jesus was.@@larryo6874
I also love the camera placement. Everyone looks at the golden cup, but the lords is hidden in the background

Even though the grail couldn't leave the temple, The fact that the area could have been converted into a hospital and people the world over could have come there to be healed, maybe not immortal, but healed of their injuries and sickness, cancers and deformities. This I feel would have been a worthy legacy of the cup and Christ.
Indeed, I think He would have been proud of that.
I’ve always wondered about that. If the grail couldn’t leave the temple, where did it come from before it got there?
Because then people would put their faith in a cup and not God. It would have become an idol of sorts at some point.
@@Rikrik1138 maybe the cave was a sort of tomb or THE TOMB (of the rich) back when Christ walk the land. And his blessing only confined to that general area because he is no longer on the earth to spread it out
IMHO this is the best of the Indiana Jones series. It has so many memorable lines AND Faith is woven into it. I love how the Knight bids them farewell as they are leaving to return home.
I like to think that had she successfully gotten the Grail past the Seal, then it would be just any other cup.
Well it would still be Christ's cup. Just with no powers.
@CapitalNick I know. I'm just saying. Let her leave with The Grail and then when she goes to use it for nefarious purposes(i.e. making Hitler immortal), she learns (and gets killed for it) that The Grail doesn't work and, too late, understands what the Knight meant when he said the price of immortality is that The Grail had to stay within the established limits and now, it is useless for all time
There’s something so special about the Grail Knight I can’t describe but each time I see him raise his hand to Indy at the end of the movie I tear up
We can mourn that cinematic masterpieces such as these will never come again, or we can celebrate that they came at all.
I like how he nudges the sword down and says "listen I don't have time to explain" 😆 LOOK MAN. I GOTTA GO.
He chose poorly..😂
Dude didn't choose, she did.😂
He chose to trust her to pick the grail for him; in that, he chose poorly.
2:54 Great Scott!

This was a great Movie! I loved watching it!! I loved the treasure hunt and the traveling to places and how one place leads to another in a race to get the grail !! Such a timeless Movie!! One of my favorite Movies for sure!!
First time I saw this in the theater I spotted the grail before the bad guy got the wrong one. As Indy said, 'a cup of a carpenter'.
‘I was chosen…. Because I was the most annoying and the others hated me’
3:15 - the knight is clearly thinking "Yea that's not the creepiest thing I've seen in the last 700 years."
He's a veteran of the Crusades. He's definitely seen horrific shit.
@@andrewhernandez2987 Yep
Funny how everything he had asked Indy to go first, but the last part he took the initiative 🤣
Who else here thinks she purposely chose the wrong chalice? 😅
OK, if you are so smart and know what the grail looks like, YOU drink from it first.
I think she did also
Yeah she totally chose the wrong one for him on purpose. She smirked victoriously when he drank from it. She wanted it for herself.
She did, obviously... she told Indy that it would not be made out of gold. I mean it makes sense Jesus was a Carpenter I don't think he would be using a gold cup at the last supper.
@@2a4me96 Yup. And it's not like she's loyal to him, a rich guy who cares nothing about archaeology itself, just wants to exploit it, just like the rich guy exploiting the Nazis. While Indy is there purely to save his father. Ironic, since he's the archaeologist.
Great acting is when no words are needed to communicate...outstanding sequence of scenes.
2:49.......these years later and I am still impressed by his body's ability to keep growing hair even as it disintegrates to dust! Excellent genes, simply flawless!
The knight was humble enough to know that he was too old to fight and gave Indie his sword as a gesture of honor and respect, THEN the others came into the room and he realized that some shady stuff was up with them.
After my disastrous first marriage member of my family (when talking about my horrible ex), would always say "she chose poorly". Of course that got it from this move but they were unfortunately right.
So, by this sequence, Indiana Jones should be granted extended life. He should be feasibly able to live until he's 100 or more due to drinking from the holy grail.
Maybe the effects wane beyond the cave...
@@majas4922 the other knight lived almost 200 years
Cant imagine how indy goes on to become a miserable old man knowing he saw the arc of the covenant and drank from the cup of Christ. You would think he would be happy knowing their's an afterlife awaiting him. And this life is just a test.
Yeah but Woke Disney despises all good things so...all the good stuff is just "cancelled". Including their profits.
Life can beat you down. Remember he lost his one and only son.
@@StopNuclearBallisticMissle and drank from a fake grail ultimately if he aged after all
Because his son was killed in Vietnam.
"Where did dad go? Heaven?"
"No... to the space between spaces."
Always loved the way Indy chose correctly
"That's the cup of a carpenter"
I love the knights impeccable English even though he’s been isolated for centuries
Rip delthom and Sean we miss you both
That cup is so simply made, and yet I find it so beautiful.
1:45 I think she knew she tricked him and made Indiana know, like the plan was to get rid of him.
She knew. She said, that the cup would not be made out of gold, before Indy mentions Jesus' trait.
He picked the wrong chalice.
For some reason the producer assumes that as Jesus was a carpenter, He made his own Chalice. But if you read the Bible, you will find that He had been given or hired out a room, the upstairs room for Passover, as such the chalice was provided by the inn owner. To add to that As Jesus is King the inn owner could well have provided the best chalice that he had available, just as Jesus had been anointed with expensive oil.
The outside of the chalice was clay. The inside of the chalice was gold. Therefore, Jesus didn't make it, since he could not have afforded gold when he was a carpenter.
It's all fairy tales anyway, quit trying to make it make sense.
@@travismiller5548
There are no fairies in the Bible, and I doubt they would have tales anyway.
Reproducing historical fact incorrectly, and then attempting to correct it isn't "trying to make it make sense".
@@travismiller5548 You're actually correct because while there was a cup that caught Jesus' blood in the New Testament of the bible, the whole Holy Grail thing is Arthurian tales, when King Arthur is ill and the three knights of the Round Table go out to find the Grail and it's Sir Galahad that find it. That part I'm pretty sure is not in the Bible.
I don't think so. Otherwise how would Joseph have it to catch Jesus blood...they wouldn't steal it from the inn? And since when do you use gold cups in a room...not even the Pilate was using a gold cup I bet.
A nice callback when Donovan warned Jones never to trust anyone
Waited 700 years to tell that line to someone and it paid off lol
Here we go..he chose the one that wasn't flashy ✔️ Have a blessed day everyone🙌🙌🏾🙌🏼🙌🏿🙌🏻
Breaks the heart watching this after what Disney and KK has done to the franchise.
Disney's *en$h!ttificaton"
Why not have her drink after choosing it😂😂😂😂
Always wondered how the Knight could speak and understand them but still great
Because the all speak English maybe…?
@@BABBASTICKY Back then the knight would not speak English in the way we know it, it would be almost entirely foreign for any English speaker
@@khabbad Humbly noted. I assumed Crusade area English would have some common words shared with todays English. Or maybe French would have been more realistic?
@@BABBASTICKY yea maybe. I remember reading years ago about how different “old English” was basically unrecognizable….night of been cooler if the Knight spoke Latin. Either way I love this film, they don’t make adventures like this anymore
Indiana could have chosen any of the cups. It was his attitude and reason for choosing that made the difference. All he wanted was to heal his father, not rule the world.
He’s known for his search for fortune and glory, but this time it was more about rekindling his relationship with his father and having enough faith in God to complete the quest.
2:53 - "RUN MARTY!"

- as is my family tradition to yell at this moment.

😂😂😂😂
I love how Donovan holds Elsa at arm's length before he dies, he's like, "Look what you've done to me!"
They didn't speak modern English back in the crusader period.
A well educated English knight templar would speak Latin and certain varieties of French and probably middle English.
Of course, many were uneducated too.
Indiana should know some Latin at least.
The best way understatement of all time: ‘he chose poorly’
I’ve been watching every single Indiana Jones movie (except dial of destiny) over and over and don’t regret!
I always thought Indy should have been an immortal paladin at this point, waiting for the end of time and guarding the covenant. I really wanted Nazi zombies, too. Since the knight aged they could have used an older Harrison Ford and gave him a truly heroic ending where he passes the Ark on to the next chosen people. I know people aren't religious like they were but ancient science and ET doesn't really cut it for an Indiana Jones movie. Might as well embrace the theme.
Some people in the USA are still religious. Unfortunately, they aren't Hollywood's target audience anymore.
@esportsacademy8749That would have been cool as well, I thought after watching the 3rd film he'd do a dig for it. I really wanted Sean Connery for another film but they waited too long.
I like how the movie explains how Henry Sr was able to be saved and yet became mortal again. As the knight said, "pass the seal with the grail, and that is the price of immortality."
My brother and I will still comment on a choice as ‘poorly or wisely’ using this accent.
Love this movie
I always thought this was a clever test.
🤣This scene is so over-the-top I can't resist re-watching.
Ok…
I was waiting for Sean Connery to say, Junior...lol.
I just love this movie…they truly don’t make them like they used to. 😞
4:30 God the music is so heavenly precious and glorious, I come from a catholic family and I became a non-believer at the age of 13, but that music and this scene still gives me chills, thanks John Williams. God how I love the Indiana Jones movies, even if they're not from my time.
3:10: The knight has a talent for understatement.
I've loved this movie since i was a kid. I was about 2-3 yrs old when this movie came out!
Me too! I was born in 1986
"It wouldn't be made of gold."
"That's the cup of a carpenter."
Yea, so it's a clay/wood cup, but the inside of the basin is made of/painted gold?
The finish, probably by varnish or gold coating
Funny how Donovan looked like Doc Brown for a second or two.
The final Indiana Jones movie.
NO!
2:10 I only just noticed that Donovan is SLURPING while he's drinking from what he believes is the Holy Grail.
bro just made himself immortal, why'd he need to hide in a fridge
4:06 is your answer
@@ReiseLukas oh ok thank u
Watching this film with my grandma:
Me: If he drank from the chalice of eternal life, why is he so old?
My grandma: He was already pretty old when he found it.
Expanded universe lore: Though drinking from the Grail had extended the Grail Knight's life beyond any normal mortals, the centuries spent in isolation had sapped his strength.
Every time the Knight's spirit wavered, he physically aged a year
I liked my grandma's explanation better 😅
2:10 as Donovan turns around, the knight puts his head down knowing the outcome!
"Made In China" on the bottom of the first cup if you look closely.
Beatiful scene, yet a bit unprecise regarding the appearance of the Holy Grail. Let me shine a little light on how it reall looked like. This fragment was taken from the vision of blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich - german mystic whom God allowed to see the past and all the things that occured - especially the life and death of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Let me cite the fragment about the Holy Grail (Anne Catherine saw the whole preparatins towards the Last Supper with the apostles, and this is the depiction of the holy chalice she saw):
"The apostles received various vessels here, some of which the disciples carried to the Cenacle in covered baskets; they also took from here the chalice that Jesus used to institute the Blessed Sacrament. The chalice in question was a strange vessel of mysterious origin. For a long time it rested in the temple among other ancient and valuable vessels, the purpose and origin of which had long been forgotten, just as now many ancient, sacred gems have been forgotten with the passage of centuries and changes in circumstances. From time to time, obsolete, unused vessels and jewels were selected in the temple, sold, or allowed to be processed differently, as needed. And there were many attempts to remake this most holy vessel, but the chalice, made of some unknown metal, could not be melted in the fire, so it was abandoned. By God's will, young priests once found it in the temple treasury, abandoned it along with some junk in a chest, and offered it for sale to lovers of antiquity as old, forgotten equipment. The entire suit, i.e. the chalice with all the accessories, was then bought by St. Veronica and it was already served by Jesus at Christmas feasts more than once, and from the Last Supper it became the permanent possession of the community of Christ's followers. The chalice included an entire portable suit, prepared according to the purpose it was to fulfill, i.e. to institute the Blessed Sacrament. Of course, it wasn't there in the past, but I don't remember when, and whether it was not at the request of the Lord himself that this addition was made. The whole device looked like this: There was a large goblet on a flat plate and six small cups around it. There was a kind of pull-out drawer in this plate, but I don't remember whether it contained the sacred or not. In the chalice itself there was a second, smaller vessel, and on the chalice there was a plate covered with a vaulted dome. There was a deliberate compartment in the base of the cup for a small spoon. All the vessels were covered with a thin fabric and usually covered with a large hollow hemisphere, like an umbrella, apparently made of leather, with a knob at the top. The chalice consisted of a proper wine cup and a saucer, probably added later; the stand was made of a different material, and the cup itself was made of some brown mass, as smooth as the glass of a mirror. It was pear-shaped, with two lifting eyes on the sides, because it was quite heavy. It was all gilded or lined with gold. The base was made artificially from dark golden ore. It was surrounded by a snake and a vine made of the same material, and was also set with precious stones. In the base, as I already mentioned, there was a compartment for a small spoon. The chalice was later kept by James the Younger in the Jerusalem church. I know that until now it is safely hidden somewhere and one day it will come to light again in due time, as it does now until the last supper. Smaller cups came into the possession of other churches, and so one was in Antioch, another in Ephesus; In total, these vessels fell into seven churches. These cups once belonged to the Patriarchs, who drank from them a mysterious drink when receiving or giving a blessing, as I have seen and told in my time. The beginning of the great cup is lost in the mists of time. Noah already had it and placed it on the top of the ark during the flood. Melchizedek brought it with him from the land of Semiramis, where it had been abandoned, to Canaan, when he established settlements in Jerusalem; in it he offered bread and wine to Abraham, and left it to him. Later I saw him at Moses' place. The mass from which it was made was as dense as the mass of a bell. It did not seem to have been forged by human hands, but as if nature itself had shaped it and had emerged from the womb of the earth. When it was created and from what was known only to Jesus himself. I predicted it. It is not known whether the saintly Catherine meant to say that the cup was transparent, or whether she had foreseen it or guessed it in her spirit.".
He poured all the water out then gave the chalice to his father, when HE held it, it had water in it. Tut tut tut.
Gracias por compartir hermosa fascinante película una obra de arte 💯💚🌹💜🎊👍🌈🌈🌈
Best indy film by far ❤❤❤ ✝️ xxxx
Damn. 1:42 look at Schneider !!! In the background . I have spotted this for the very first time !!!
2:53 he looked like Christopher Loyd there for a second.
He chose poorly has been used for years in our family to make a point. Great line.
"He chose...... poorly."
Oh thank God! I was worried that's what happened when you picked the right one!
Lucas and Speilberg. Genius.
Love Steven as a Jew appropriating this message of the wonderment of Christ. Very profound stuff❤
That music change when the commander picks up water out of the wrong cup is always spooky
“That’s the cup of a carpenter” hits different when you know not only was Jesus Christ a carpenter…
But Harrison ford aswell
For a second there he looked like Doc Brown. Zemeckis' lawyer on the line.
lol, Spielberg did produce 'Back to the Future' so maybe there was influence.

Interesting to note that the word Carpenter is different in Hebrew. The Greek translation means woodworker (or something like that) but Hebrew means architect, which in the context considering most of the buildings are made of clay and stone at the time makes a bit of sense of the Grail's clay-like appearance.
I’ve seen material on the Internet that suggests Jesus was likely a stonemason, based on the region where he lived.
