The movie focuses on the Graham family – patriarch Josiah and his three adult children, Tommy, Eli, and Mary. At the conclusion of this disturbing terror tale, the family reunite after years of being apart. Their meeting does not end well. After a series of unpleasant revelations, a tree burns outside. Carved onto it are the words “sins paid in full.”
The movie, “The Passion of the Christ,” tells the story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Many people believe that Jesus’ sins were paid in full at his crucifixion, and that this is what the words “in full” mean. Others believe that Jesus’ death was only a partial payment for our sins, and that we will still have to pay for them in full at the end of time. ..

What happens in Chapter 1?
The Ghost of Willow Road is where we meet Josiah and Tommy at the family farmhouse. We learn that Josiah has visions of Miriam, his wife, who died by suicide years before and that he believes she is “burning in hellfire.” She tells him that he and his family will also burn in hell unless they correct their mistakes and make things right with God.
The movie follows Josiah and his wife as they live on a farm in the early 1800s. Things start going wrong, and it’s revealed that Josiah’s wife was witness to one sinful event that led to her suicide. ..
It is clear in this chapter that Josiah’s relationship with Tommy is unhealthy. To clear Tommy’s head of sinful thoughts, Josiah makes his son masturbate in front of him. “God is watching you right now. Finish up and get it done,” he tells the clearly disturbed Tommy who isn’t happy with his father’s request.
The representative from the oil company tells the Graham family that he is interested in buying their farmhouse. The family is excited to have a chance to meet this man and discuss their plans for the future.
What happens in Chapter 2?
In the last chapter, we learned about Eli’s father, who briefly mentioned him. In this chapter, we meet Eli and learn more about him.
Eli is living in an RV and is under scrutiny by the police after having sex with a minor sometime before. His crime was unintentional according to Eli – he thought she was older than she said – but this is dismissed by the visiting police officer who questions him about a young girl who has gone missing.
Eli visits a local bar where he owes Boon, the local town gangster, some money. To settle his debt, Eli is asked to steal gold from some visiting gypsies. He is joined by Billy and Logan, two of the men who work for Boon, who task themselves with stealing the gold while Eli distracts the gypsy women.
When the men arrive, they are greeted by the gypsies. Eli gets friendly with one of the women and is then introduced to a fortune teller who tells him he is going to die soon! ..
The gypsy men are here for the gold. A fight breaks out and Billy and Logan are killed by the gypsy men.
Eli is able to free himself from the gypsies before he is killed and makes a shocking discovery: they have the missing girl. He rescues her and makes his escape.
He then hands the gold to Boon. Boon is happy with his prize but after touching the gold, dies of a heart attack. This could be because the gypsies put a curse on the treasure. ..
Eli delivers the girl to the town sheriff and is told to “run far from here.”
Eli heads to the RV where he finds a letter detailing the proposal from the oil company to buy the farmhouse. The letter offers a generous offer for the farmhouse, but Eli is hesitant to sell. He wonders if he can keep it, and whether he should take the offer.
What happens in Chapter 3?
In the opening of this chapter, we learn about Mary May I. Mary is hoping to adopt and has previously removed her ability to have children by having a surgical procedure that involved removing her eggs. She now believes that adoption will give her the opportunity to love somebody.
We learn that Mary is mentally unwell and that she is on Ketamine for her mental disorder. We later see her stabbing herself but thankfully, this is just a nightmare.
Eli Graham shows up at her house to ask her to travel with him to the farm to speak with Tommy, one of the Graham children who needs to sign off on the deal. ..
Eli reminds Mary that they used to play a game when they were kids called “Mary May I?” In this game, Mary had to do whatever Eli asked, no matter what. Mary agreed to go back and check on the farmhouse, even though she was hesitant at first. ..
They travel to the farmhouse and it’s here where the family’s transgressions are revealed.
What are the family’s sins?
Josiah is a complicated man, but his story is simple. He was born in a small town in upstate New York, and he has always been interested in the world around him. When he was just eighteen years old, Josiah met a woman named Sarah who was also interested in the world around her. They started dating and soon realized that they had a lot in common. They were both interested in learning about the world and its people. They also both wanted to make a difference in the world. Sarah decided to move to London to pursue her dreams while Josiah stayed behind to help his family. He quickly found himself involved with many different aspects of life here, from politics to artistry. He even started his own blog which he continued to write until his death at the age of thirty-six years old. Josiah’s story is one of determination and perseverance; he never gave up on his goals no matter what obstacles came along way.
Tommy’s experience with his father is still fresh in his mind, even after all these years. Despite the interactions between Josiah and Tommy earlier in the movie, we learn that Josiah is dead. The traumatised Tommy still has visions of his father, however, although it might be that his pa is actually a ghost.
Tommy talks to his father regardless, as a way of healing the pain he feels from the abuse he experienced as a child. He is surprised by how much his father remembers from those days and how much he has shared with them since then. The two men remind Tommy of their father’s death and the abuse they suffered at his hands, which led to their deaths. Tommy is grateful that his father is still alive and able to talk about what happened to him.
The mother’s death was due to the fact that Josiah and his daughter had a baby together, according to Eli. The vision/ghost of Josiah is angry at this suggestion.
Tommy is not convinced that the baby was not Josiah’s. He believes that Mary became pregnant because of Eli, who had sex with her. He believes that this is the reason why their mom killed herself.
Tommy is still crazy as shit after all these years. Eli says it to him, but is Tommy really crazy? Or was the baby Eli’s?
Who fathered the baby?
Tommy is telling the truth and the baby was Eli’s. We can believe this because there is a flashback scene towards the end of the movie showing Eli and Mary having sex in a motel room. Presumably, Eli coaxed Mary into sex when they were younger during the game ‘Mary May I.’ This led to the pregnancy and is likely the reason why Mary had sterile surgery as this removed the possibility of another child from their sexual relationship.
According to Tommy, Eli and Mary killed the baby and buried the body outside. They then hid the remains in a trunk. ..
Eli discovers what Tommy has done and confronts him, leading to a heated argument. ..
Tommy kills Eli with an axe, and then chases Mary outside. He stabs her to death while the ghost of Josiah is seen drinking in the farmhouse.
Whose sins were paid in full?
A tree burns with holy fire in a field outside of a farmhouse. The sign on the tree reads “Eli and Mary’s sins paid in full.” ..
This further evidence supports the theory that Tommy wasn’t crazy after all. It seems that it was Eli and not Josiah who had sex with Mary, although this doesn’t rule out the possibility that Josiah was abusive to all of them.
What does ‘sins paid in full’ mean?
The Christian belief is that Jesus paid for our sins in full when He died on the cross. ..
This relates to the movie in that it is hard to say. But it could be assumed that Mary and Eli’s sins were paid in full when they faced up to the truth and died at the hands of Tommy. It can also be assumed that Miriam’s sin (of suicide) was paid in full when her children sins came to light. This might mean her soul (and possibly theirs) have now been saved and rescued from the hellfire as their mistakes have “been corrected” and things have “been put right with God.”

Josiah saw “The Conjuring 2” and thought it was great.
