The film was released on Blu - ray in North America as a two - disc Definitive Edition set on February 17, 2009 . It was also released on Blu - ray in Australia a week before Easter . </P> <P> Although the original DVD release sold well, it contained no extra materials other than soundtrack language selections . The no - frills edition provoked speculation about when a special edition would be released . On January 30, 2007, a two - disc Definitive Edition was released in the North American markets, and March 26 elsewhere . It contains several documentaries, soundtrack commentaries, deleted scenes, outtakes, the 2005 unrated version, and the original 2004 theatrical version . </P> <P> The British version of the two - disc DVD contains two additional deleted scenes . In the first, Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem (at the eighth station of the cross) and falls to the ground as the women wail around him, and Simon of Cyrene attempts to hold up the cross and help up Jesus simultaneously . Afterwards, while both are holding up the cross, Jesus says to the women weeping for him, "Do not weep for me, but for yourselves and for your children". In the second, Pilate washes his hands, turns to Caiaphas, and says: "Look you to it" (i.e., the Pharisees wish to have Jesus crucified). Pilate then turns to Abanader and says: "Do as they wish". The scene next shows Pilate calling to his servant, who is carrying a wooden board on which Pilate writes, "Jesus of Nazareth king of the Jews", in Latin and Hebrew . He then holds the board above his head in full view of Caiaphas, who after reading it challenges Pilate on its content . Pilate replies angrily to Caiaphas in non-subtitled Hebrew . The disc contains only two deleted scenes in total . No other scenes from the movie are shown on disc 2 . </P> <P> On February 7, 2017, 20th Century Fox re-released the film on Blu - Ray and DVD featuring both cuts .
