00:00:00Haman, he stayed behind to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm was determined against him by the king.

00:00:11And the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, just as Haman was falling onto the couch where Esther was.

00:00:25And the king said, will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?

00:00:33This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.

00:00:46Therefore the Jews of the villages hold the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, the day for gladness and feasting as a holiday.

00:01:02Let's go!

00:01:04Let's go!

00:01:06Let's go!

00:01:08Let's go!

00:01:11Blessed are you, Lord our God,

00:01:39master of the universe,

00:01:41and perform miracles for our fathers.

00:01:45In those days, at this time, to life!

00:01:48To life!

00:01:49To life!

00:01:50To life!

00:01:51No!

00:01:52No, no, no, no, no, no, you can't eat!

00:01:57What are you doing?

00:02:00Ah!

00:02:02Oh!

00:02:03AHHHHHHHHH!

00:02:07Come on.

00:02:37Come on.

00:03:07You're dragging your feet?

00:03:25I'm not.

00:03:27Every time I look, you're a few cubits farther back than before.

00:03:30Yeah, well, I'm thinking and my thoughts are making my body heavy.

00:03:33Can you stop thinking and walk?

00:03:35After what we just saw?

00:03:36All the more reason to move.

00:03:37Don't make this difficult.

00:03:39You think the situation among the Gentiles isn't difficult?

00:03:42Of course it is.

00:03:43Walking doesn't have to be.

00:03:44Or it does.

00:03:48Oh, Hades.

00:03:58You're bleeding.

00:03:59Oh, thank you.

00:04:00I know what blood looks like.

00:04:03Oh, wow.

00:04:04Just go without me.

00:04:06I'm slowing you down anyway.

00:04:08Are you suggesting you'll stay behind and die?

00:04:11Maybe.

00:04:15We're almost home.

00:04:19Can you...

00:04:19Perfect.

00:04:38Just perfect.

00:04:39What?

00:04:39Blood.

00:04:40Carnage.

00:04:40It's a fitting end to our trip to the Decapolis.

00:04:45No one was bleeding.

00:04:46Yes, not from their skin, Andrew, but the whole place was torn apart.

00:04:49Just like this foot.

00:04:50And all because of our teaching.

00:04:52You're the one who's supposed to be made for this.

00:04:54Yes, I thought I was.

00:04:55That's what so...

00:04:56John caused controversy all the time.

00:04:58Yes, but among the Jews, Andrew,

00:05:01we caused a multinational crisis on the verge of erupting into violence.

00:05:06Maybe even war.

00:05:07We might have blood on our hands.

00:05:09People might die because of us.

00:05:11Yeah, one thing at a time.

00:05:12Yes?

00:05:12Hold here.

00:05:15Blood on our hands.

00:05:16It's a little much.

00:05:18We failed in our mission.

00:05:21Messiah gave us his words,

00:05:23and we didn't deliver.

00:05:24And if that doesn't upset you,

00:05:26then maybe it should, Andrew.

00:05:27You need a walking stick.

00:05:37Oh, welcome back.

00:05:45At least someone's happy to see us.

00:05:46He's a different Philip right now.

00:05:48Well, for good reason.

00:05:50What happened?

00:05:51What are these?

00:05:53Oh, I'm making packages of food for the homeless.

00:05:55Little James said it's a Purim tradition.

00:05:57Purim!

00:05:59Completely forgotten.

00:06:00How are we talking about holidays right now?

00:06:03Well, what do you mean?

00:06:06What happened at the Decapolis?

00:06:07Our teaching.

00:06:09We made a mess.

00:06:10We did not intentionally create a mess.

00:06:14We preached the words of our rabbi.

00:06:17And some people took issue.

00:06:20Where is the vinegar?

00:06:21Oh, it's on the bottom table to the right.

00:06:23I rearranged the bottles.

00:06:24The way you had them organized before was very inefficient.

00:06:26Decapolis is in full-scale meltdown,

00:06:28and you're over here rearranging cabinets.

00:06:30How would he know?

00:06:31Why do you need vinegar?

00:06:32To disinfect the wound.

00:06:33Why, so it doesn't spread through my mortal body and kill me?

00:06:35Actually, yes.

00:06:37Oh, ladies.

00:06:39Uh, you still haven't told me what you did to the Decapolis?

00:06:43Not what we did.

00:06:44It's what we said.

00:06:45To smooth things over?

00:06:50Sometimes people respond better to stories than to teach you.

00:06:55Oh, a parable.

00:06:56Oh, good.

00:06:57Which one?

00:06:58A banquet.

00:06:59I love a banquet.

00:07:03You might as well just tell him what happened.

00:07:05Yes, I'd love to hear it.

00:07:08Thank you, Philip.

00:07:10So, Judas, it comes directly from Jesus, so it is perfect.

00:07:16Don't misunderstand.

00:07:18Okay.

00:07:19But what?

00:07:20But, I think, perhaps, Jesus shares it when he wants a challenge.

00:07:27Were you challenged?

00:07:28Oh, yes.

00:07:28Challenged, yes.

00:07:29Challenged is fair, yeah.

00:07:30So, so it goes like this.

00:07:34One time, there was a rich man who's throwing a big party.

00:07:38It's this big banquet.

00:07:40He wants everybody to come to it.

00:07:41So, he sent his servant out to all those invited, saying, everything is ready.

00:07:45It's time.

00:07:45Come.

00:07:46Only the guests that he's inviting are making excuses.

00:07:49The first says, I've just bought a field.

00:07:51I must go out and look it over.

00:07:53Please excuse me.

00:07:54And another said, I've just bought five york of oxen, and I must examine them.

00:07:57Therefore, I cannot come.

00:07:58And another said, I've just married a wife.

00:08:00And therefore, I cannot come.

00:08:02There's perfectly legitimate reasons.

00:08:05Even our own people have come.

00:08:06Someone in the crowd said the exact same thing.

00:08:08So, the servant reported these things to the master, and the master of the house became very angry.

00:08:13And he said to the servant, go to the streets of the city and bring back the poor, and crippled, and blind, and lame.

00:08:20So, he did, and they came, only there was still room left over in the banquet.

00:08:24So, he said, go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in so that my house may be filled.

00:08:33You said this to a mixed crowd?

00:08:35We did not know the extent to which the crowd was mixed.

00:08:39So, go out and find some leftovers did not exactly play well.

00:08:43Well, it should have.

00:08:45God wants everyone to come to the party.

00:08:46The master said, I want my house filled.

00:08:50Everyone is invited.

00:08:51Okay.

00:08:52Okay, so tell me if I have this right.

00:08:55The Jews understood you to mean that Jesus was calling for Gentiles.

00:08:59And the Gentiles thought you were calling them second class.

00:09:02And then the conservatives who lived by Jeremiah would have heard you saying that the original guests who didn't want to go to the banquet would miss the party.

00:09:10And those, better versed than Isaiah, behold, I am doing a new thing, were probably emboldened, except that Gentiles were there.

00:09:21Yeah, that's about right.

00:09:22How did you know that?

00:09:22I am a businessman.

00:09:24It's my job to know people.

00:09:25And I've met all kinds.

00:09:27It was demoralizing.

00:09:28Maybe you're over-identifying your role in it.

00:09:31Would people be brawling in the streets of the Decapolis, Judas, if we hadn't gone there and preached?

00:09:36Brawling?

00:09:38Boys, it is way too early for the war.

00:09:40We have to be smarter.

00:09:42Chak put him some air.

00:09:49Or not.

00:09:51Come on.

00:09:52Come on, it's a holiday, not shiver.

00:09:54I think we may have created a crisis in the Decapolis.

00:09:58So talk to Jesus about it.

00:09:59I was just about to suggest that.

00:10:03What happened to your foot?

00:10:06We are going to go see Jesus first thing in the morning.

00:10:11How often does Philip get like this?

00:10:14About twice a year.

00:10:17Just keep my distance.

00:10:19I'm sitting right here.

00:10:21We know.

00:10:21This is very well written.

00:10:32I'll just have to trust you on that.

00:10:35You cannot read?

00:10:36That must be very limiting.

00:10:39This wasn't my choice.

00:10:40You could learn.

00:10:41You're very intelligent.

00:10:48Thomas.

00:10:49Hello, Matthew.

00:10:49Did Rama return as well?

00:10:56Hey.

00:10:57How did it go?

00:10:59Uh, it's complicated.

00:11:03Where's Rama?

00:11:04Did her dad say no or something?

00:11:06I mean, he didn't say no.

00:11:14Rama stayed behind in Teldor.

00:11:16Well, at least you're back, huh?

00:11:25Huh?

00:11:26Thomas.

00:11:29This, Rama.

00:11:33Rama stayed behind to work on Kafni.

00:11:36He's not a believer.

00:11:37In Jesus?

00:11:39Who knew that?

00:11:41In me?

00:11:41It's disappointing.

00:11:51Are you embarrassed?

00:11:54Nathaniel.

00:11:55He didn't say no.

00:11:56He just didn't say yes.

00:12:00Rama's working on him.

00:12:02We're hopeful.

00:12:03We're hopeful.

00:12:05We're hopeful.

00:12:07We're hopeful.

00:12:11We're hopeful.

00:12:19Wait.

00:12:21Thomas.

00:12:27So, the good news is, we got the ash.

00:12:32The bad news is that townspeople now think that the followers of Christ are up to some scheme.

00:12:46Did I miss something?

00:12:48Thomas was back.

00:12:50And we were just wondering how it went at the market.

00:12:53We bought more than half of the vendor's supply of sulfur.

00:12:57People are going to think that we're building weapons, preparing for war.

00:13:01Igniting spears isn't the only use for sulfur.

00:13:05It can also be used to clean stains from white linens.

00:13:08It can be used to make incense.

00:13:09It could be used to purify a room where a sick person has lain.

00:13:14Is Jesus back?

00:13:15Yes.

00:13:16He's over at our place speaking to Abba about the olive grove.

00:13:18We need to speak with him right away.

00:13:19Wait.

00:13:20Why?

00:13:20Philip, what happened to your foot?

00:13:22Were you attacked?

00:13:22Nearly.

00:13:24We have a big problem with the Decapolis.

00:13:25I thought you were sent to go fix it.

00:13:28We need Jesus to intervene.

00:13:30On behalf of Gentiles?

00:13:31Excuse me.

00:13:33I am sitting right here.

00:13:34Well, you're different.

00:13:36There are hundreds of pilgrims here in Capernaum.

00:13:38Our own people who haven't seen Jesus for weeks.

00:13:41Living in squalid conditions, waiting for one opportunity to hear more of his words.

00:13:47The words that captured them on the mount.

00:13:50You never promised them more teaching.

00:13:52They followed us to Capernaum of their own accord.

00:13:54The Gentiles are curious now.

00:13:56This was all foretold by the prophet Isaiah.

00:13:58Do we remember?

00:13:59Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.

00:14:04I will put my spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

00:14:10And in his name, the Gentiles will hope.

00:14:18I've been studying the genealogy of Jesus.

00:14:20Sounds exciting.

00:14:22And there appeared to be many Gentiles in his own ancestry.

00:14:26Rahab was a prostitute in Jericho who was married to Salmon, who fathered Boaz.

00:14:30And Boaz married Ruth, who was a Moabite.

00:14:34We could just let Jesus decide for himself.

00:14:36Exactly.

00:14:37That's...

00:14:37Thank you, Mary.

00:14:39She's all right.

00:14:40Let's go.

00:14:45Well, I should get to work.

00:14:47I'll continue looking at this.

00:14:49Smells nice over here.

00:15:02With the holy anointing oil of the first press.

00:15:07Sad news about Thomas and Rama, huh?

00:15:09It is.

00:15:10Matthew, I have something I wanted to ask you.

00:15:18You do?

00:15:22Yesterday I was upstairs, and I was moving some things around, and I came across a box with prayer tassels inside.

00:15:35What?

00:15:37Well, what are you going to ask me about them?

00:15:39Why were they hidden away?

00:15:40Why is that unimportant?

00:15:42They were hidden for a reason.

00:15:44Did that occur to you?

00:15:46I put them back, of course.

00:15:49It was an accident, I told you.

00:15:51I just wonder.

00:15:52I'm very glad that you were staying at my old house, but I would ask you to please not go through my personal belongings anymore.

00:16:03Matthew, wait.

00:16:11Sent by God.

00:16:13Those were his exact words?

00:16:15Yes.

00:16:16Parentage?

00:16:17He claimed to be of the house and lineage of David.

00:16:20No, I mean his father's house.

00:16:23Jesus, son of whom?

00:16:24Oh, he didn't say.

00:16:27Origen.

00:16:29What do you mean?

00:16:31From whence he hails Jesus of what?

00:16:34Oh, I didn't ask him.

00:16:37You just gave him the money?

00:16:40Yes.

00:16:41My sympathy for your loss is dwindling.

00:16:43His preaching was powerful, like nothing I've heard before.

00:16:48Did he perform any signs or miracles?

00:16:49I don't know.

00:16:51Was he surrounded by loyal followers?

00:16:54He was alone.

00:16:56He said he's going to build an army outside Beersheba in the Negev.

00:17:00And, oh, I'm clearly too old to fight.

00:17:03A 50 shekel donation will help his troops craft weapons.

00:17:07Thank you for your report.

00:17:10You're not going to open a formal inquiry?

00:17:12There are countless such con men swindling people all over Judea, and Jesus is a common name in our nation.

00:17:18If we started an inquiry, where would we stop?

00:17:20But you seem eager to accept an audience with me.

00:17:23This is not the swindler I'm looking for.

00:17:25Oh, now you make it sound like it is my fault.

00:17:28I was dethroned.

00:17:30I am sorry.

00:17:33You're free to go.

00:17:34You're free to go.

00:18:04I think you'll be very pleased.

00:18:21We will make our decisions.

00:18:28Look at this meager chump.

00:18:31His neck is pathetic.

00:18:32But of course you can draw spots and make it a cow then, yes?

00:18:35This is no land for sacrifice.

00:18:39You guys sure know your stuff.

00:18:41But that part on the back is called a chump?

00:18:44Who knew?

00:18:45Who are you?

00:18:47This is a gentile.

00:18:49This is.

00:18:50You are not permitted here.

00:18:52Are you eating?

00:18:53Oh, what, this?

00:18:54Yeah, well, I was going to, but the smell.

00:18:56This is outrageous.

00:18:58These are sacred grounds.

00:18:59Everything must remain kosher.

00:19:01I will have you brought before Caiaphas.

00:19:03Don't do that.

00:19:05I'm here on Pilate's business.

00:19:08I can see you're upset.

00:19:10Look, all I want to know is who is the authority around here on troublemaking?

00:19:15Rogue preachers.

00:19:17Specifically in Galilee?

00:19:18Anyone?

00:19:19Anybody talking about anything unusual?

00:19:22Give us one good reason to tell you.

00:19:31Yami!

00:19:32Yami!

00:19:33Ask Rabbi Yami.

00:19:34Rabbi Yami.

00:19:35Great.

00:19:36Thank you, men.

00:19:38Good things.

00:19:42Listen.

00:19:43If they don't want it, I'm starving.

00:20:16What are you doing here, Jew?

00:20:25I was just walking, and I ended up...

00:20:27You don't just end up in the Roman quarter.

00:20:29How did you get past the guard?

00:20:32I didn't see it.

00:20:33They're coming with me.

00:20:34Canius!

00:20:36What's going on?

00:20:37This Jew somehow got past the gate.

00:20:41I'll handle it.

00:20:43I'd like to interrogate him myself.

00:20:45Are you sure?

00:20:46He's nobody.

00:20:48Go to the entrance and make sure Antius is supposed to be.

00:20:51This never should have happened.

00:20:53I want to know where he was.

00:20:54Yes, bring it.

00:21:00I don't talk.

00:21:01The ask questions do not make a sound until they get inside.

00:21:14You could have been arrested.

00:21:16What possessed you to cross into our quarter?

00:21:19I'd gone everywhere else.

00:21:21This was the last part of town I thought could distract me, you know?

00:21:25The novelty of it.

00:21:26You couldn't drink yourself into distraction at the hammer?

00:21:29What is this?

00:21:33It's nothing to worry about, Livia.

00:21:35But it's not yet the end of the day.

00:21:36I needed a private place to interrogate this Jew who was trespassing.

00:21:42I mean no harm.

00:21:43Are you the doctor?

00:21:47Go out.

00:21:47Gaius said there was a Jewish doctor or something that might be able to-

00:21:50Livia, please furnish this man with one of my cloaks.

00:21:55I don't want any more trouble while I see him out of the quarter.

00:21:57Do you know the Jewish doctor?

00:22:06Can he help Ivo?

00:22:07Um, Simon, this is my son, Marius, and Ivo is our-

00:22:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you mentioned, um, the son of your servant.

00:22:16He's my best friend.

00:22:19He's really sick.

00:22:20All right, Marius, that's enough.

00:22:21Let's go to your room.

00:22:22Jewishness isn't contagious, Livia.

00:22:38So he already knows our whole story?

00:22:42Not all of it.

00:22:45We'll take the back door into the alley and sneak you out of the side entrance.

00:22:49This way.

00:22:52Mary.

00:23:19Matthew, I'm-

00:23:20Please forgive me, it was none of my business.

00:23:23You aren't the one who needs to apologize.

00:23:25I'm very sorry for my outburst.

00:23:30Your feet, they've covered in mud.

00:23:33Oh, well, um, Jesus is always going away to his lonely places, and I thought I would try it.

00:23:41Oh, how was it?

00:23:47Barely stepped out into the fields before I found myself trudging through mud.

00:23:52I took it as a sign to come back and apologize.

00:24:01I explained.

00:24:02I read.

00:24:12I didn't know.

00:24:16Ah, just as I planned, late in the afternoon on the sixth day,

00:24:46no line.

00:24:49You arranged for there to be no line at this time?

00:24:52Someone else did. Long time ago.

00:24:56Who?

00:24:57Never mind. You really never noticed. You seem like someone who notices things.

00:25:03Thank you. Traffic does slow down late on the sixth day.

00:25:08Because everyone is at home preparing for Shabbat.

00:25:12Shouldn't you be doing that?

00:25:14Shouldn't you?

00:25:16Are you here to satisfy your tax requirement? Why didn't you want there to be a line?

00:25:24Maybe I wanted all your attention for myself. Besides, who wants to wait in a line?

00:25:31I am Matthew, son of Hassan from the tribe of Benjamin.

00:25:36We only require one name and one ancestor.

00:25:38I know that. Maybe being from the tribe of Benjamin is the last thing I have to be proud of.

00:25:45What tribe are you from?

00:25:50I don't discuss those things.

00:25:52He was the favorite of Jacob's twelve sons.

00:25:56I thought Joseph was the favorite.

00:25:58Ah, you do discuss these things, huh?

00:26:02If he wasn't the favorite, at least he was the baby of the family and the only other son born of Jacob's true beloved, Rachel.

00:26:11Something's not right.

00:26:16You might say that.

00:26:17Your adjusted income from last year is not commensurate with the amount you owe.

00:26:22Did you come into a large sum of money?

00:26:25No.

00:26:26Your tax liability is the highest in Capernaum.

00:26:28I don't even think it's possible to have incurred this much debt, even in a sudden change of fortune.

00:26:36Wait a minute. What are all these reassigned figures and transfers?

00:26:40Son.

00:26:41I do not have many more days left on this earth.

00:26:46I can't believe what I'm seeing.

00:26:47Oh, that.

00:26:48I bought all the debt of my children and my family and put it under my name.

00:27:00I've just never seen this.

00:27:05This is such a staggering achievement of financial acumen.

00:27:09I must say I'm impressed.

00:27:12I have seen everything I need to see.

00:27:21And I am ready to meet my maker.

00:27:24Again.

00:27:28Surely with your brilliance, you have also prepared the way to pay this.

00:27:31You know, Benjamin was not his original name.

00:27:36Rachel died moments after giving birth to him.

00:27:39And as her soul was departing, she called him Ben-Ahani, son of my son.

00:27:48Later on, Jacob changed it to Ben-Yamin, son of my right hand.

00:27:55That was kind of him.

00:27:56Do you have any land?

00:27:58Assets?

00:27:59Savings?

00:28:00Anything you can sell out to fulfill this unthinkable son?

00:28:03In thinking back of it, I think old Emma Rachel was correct.

00:28:09Son of my sorrow.

00:28:11Why would you do this?

00:28:13You will be arrested and placed in a Roman labor camp.

00:28:16But they will not be able to touch my children.

00:28:21I did all this legally, mind you.

00:28:23I know.

00:28:24I am astonished.

00:28:27And it would be very unpleasant for you.

00:28:30Honestly.

00:28:31How long do you think I will last in a labor camp?

00:28:36You are shrewd.

00:28:40To answer your question, no.

00:28:43I have no assets.

00:28:48I could have kept what little money I had and let others pay their share.

00:28:53But to what end?

00:28:54To watch them struggle as I have struggled my entire life as a shepherd?

00:29:00I thought human sacrifice was against our religion.

00:29:02But symbolic self-sacrifice is not.

00:29:08Besides, I will not be the one running the sword through, huh?

00:29:14Though I take no pleasure in doing this, I have no choice but to place you under arrest.

00:29:21I understand.

00:29:26May I gift you?

00:29:29Gift?

00:29:29Gratuity for your wonderful service and kindness in listening to me go on.

00:29:36It is not customary.

00:29:37In truth, these are the most valuable things I own.

00:29:43An asset?

00:29:43More valuable than gold, more precious than rubies.

00:29:46I may be able to help you liquidate it.

00:29:49We could work together.

00:29:50A ledger coming up this short on a balance this big reflects very poorly on my performance.

00:29:59These are one of a kind.

00:30:04They date back to the first exile.

00:30:09Made from the world's most exquisite takia.

00:30:14Well, there must be a buyer for it.

00:30:16If the amount settles the debt, you will be spared.

00:30:18I encourage you to consider keeping them for yourself, myself.

00:30:23Please.

00:30:24We are not relatives.

00:30:25Don't use that word.

00:30:26No.

00:30:27I have made up my mind.

00:30:31I want you to have them.

00:30:35You chose this occupation.

00:30:39I know you have no use for these now.

00:30:43But someday, you might need them.

00:30:46That is very unlikely.

00:30:52I will put these on the market and see what we can do.

00:30:59Officer.

00:31:02I confess.

00:31:12Don't worry, old man.

00:31:14Someone will come to collect you.

00:31:16I would look for a buyer.

00:31:24When you know the true value of these,

00:31:29no man will be able to meet their price.

00:31:38Shabbat shalom, young man.

00:31:46More valuable than gold.

00:31:54More precious than rubies, he said.

00:32:11I kept them to respect the genius of that man.

00:32:18I also kept them as a reminder of the sins against my people.

00:32:25Why?

00:32:26I want to understand things, Maddie.

00:32:34Especially inscrutable things that unsettle me.

00:32:38And this was the most mysterious of them all.

00:32:40I have so many regrets.

00:32:43If I were to get those tassels praised and sold,

00:32:49I would only incur more regret.

00:32:50And I couldn't bear it.

00:32:51It wasn't about the tassels.

00:32:57They're just a symbol.

00:33:01That man wanted you to have his faith.

00:33:04That was the last thing he had,

00:33:08his most valuable thing in the world.

00:33:11And you have it.

00:33:14That man wanted you to be Jewish again, and you are.

00:33:19It was his dying wish.

00:33:21Why would he want that for someone like me?

00:33:30Because sometimes God sends a dove.

00:33:36A dove?

00:33:41I never told anyone this before,

00:33:43but the day I met Jesus was the same day

00:33:47I was ready to end my life.

00:33:50What?

00:33:51I was going to leap from a great height

00:33:57when a dove caught my eye.

00:34:04I couldn't resist following it.

00:34:08And it led me to the place where I met Jesus.

00:34:14That old man was your dove.

00:34:16Our lives have often been painful, yes?

00:34:27So we think life is full of scarcity

00:34:34and not abundance.

00:34:38But then there are those times when

00:34:41out of nowhere,

00:34:45somehow the world expresses its longing to be whole.

00:34:49and suddenly God steps in.

00:34:57And we are pulled out of our blindness.

00:35:02And we are invited into redemption.

00:35:04I know I was.

00:35:10I know I was.

00:35:14I know you were.

00:35:15I don't know what to say.

00:35:26I don't know what to say.

00:35:27I know I don't.

00:35:30People maybe don't say anything here.

00:35:36I know you have felt unworthy.

00:35:40Matthew.

00:35:41So, I know you felt it worthy, but it's time to add a new accessory to your clothes, or

00:35:58rather an old one.

00:35:59Shalom, shalom, Matthew.

00:36:11Shalom, shalom, buddy.

00:36:21Yes.

00:36:29Put your hood up.

00:36:47The next time you need to change your scenery, try a new food.

00:36:51Teach yourself discus throwing.

00:36:55Discus?

00:36:56Really?

00:36:57You know, it seems like you might be the one who needs the distraction.

00:37:00Listen, I am going out of my way to help you.

00:37:04Oh.

00:37:05I'm a fisherman.

00:37:06I can tell when a ship has run aground.

00:37:08How long has it been like this?

00:37:11I don't know what you're talking about.

00:37:12Yes, you do.

00:37:13That boy.

00:37:14It's none of your business.

00:37:15Your wife asked if I was the Jewish doctor you told her about.

00:37:18What?

00:37:19You told her about Jesus?

00:37:22I mean, the boy's been sick for almost a month and he's getting worse every day.

00:37:33None of your doctors can hurt?

00:37:34You saw the color of his skin.

00:37:35They think less of him because he's a servant.

00:37:37What?

00:37:40It's wonderful you kept in one when his mother died.

00:37:46He's not just a servant.

00:37:48Yeah, your son said they were best friends.

00:37:50It's like having a brother, I understand.

00:37:53They are.

00:37:56Half-brothers.

00:38:05Does she know?

00:38:06Uh, we don't talk about it.

00:38:08Um, you know, for Roman men it is a more common thing.

00:38:12It's common for lots of men.

00:38:14It's just more accepted in your culture.

00:38:17Yeah, just spare me the sermon, okay?

00:38:19I'm not judging.

00:38:21I-I did not feel guilty about it at the time, but lately I do regret my actions.

00:38:31And now he's sick and I, um, I can no longer pretend that he's not my son.

00:38:42And neither can she, you know?

00:38:44Silence between a husband and wife.

00:38:47It's poison, right?

00:38:48The longer you don't say something, the worse it gets, trust me.

00:38:51No, I do not.

00:38:52You trust me enough?

00:38:54Just stick to your side of the street, Simon.

00:38:59Fine.

00:39:01Shalom, shalom, guys.

00:39:06Why do you say it twice?

00:39:08Well, once means peace.

00:39:10Twice means perfect peace.

00:39:14Complete wholeness.

00:39:19Plitonus.

00:39:20Well, that'll be the day.

00:39:24Yeah.

00:39:25I think it's a great idea, especially to have them on before Rabbi arrives.

00:39:40Yes, yes.

00:39:41Just tell me how to tie them.

00:39:42I'll be faster if I just do it for you.

00:39:44Oh, I-I don't like to be touched.

00:39:47No problem.

00:39:49So, uh, first you have to pull your, uh, that's easiest if you take your outer tunic off first.

00:40:00Off?

00:40:01Yeah, I mean, you have your talic catan on underneath, right?

00:40:04That's where you attach them.

00:40:06Could you please turn around?

00:40:09Oh, si.

00:40:13Sure thing.

00:40:19Why do we wear these anyway?

00:40:22God commanded it in the law of Moses.

00:40:25But what do tassels have to do with Torah?

00:40:28Well, the Hebrew letters that spell the word are the numerical value of 600.

00:40:32Plus there are 13 knots and threads used to make the tassels.

00:40:35Oh, and-and there are 613 commandments in the law.

00:40:38See?

00:40:39Got it.

00:40:40613.

00:40:41You know, we wear them on the four corners of our garments.

00:40:44It's like-

00:40:45It's like being surrounded by God's word all day.

00:40:47See?

00:40:48You-you're practically a rabbi already.

00:40:50Oh, sorry.

00:40:51Sorry.

00:40:52Okay.

00:40:53So, uh, on the bottom right corner of the tally, there should be a hole there.

00:40:58Oh, yes.

00:40:59I see it.

00:41:00Okay.

00:41:01You take three short strings and one long string.

00:41:03The-the blue one?

00:41:04Yes, the blue one is longest.

00:41:05Okay.

00:41:09He's here.

00:41:10Nathaniel, we will be there in a moment.

00:41:17Thaddeus, what are you looking at?

00:41:20I-I promise we'll be in shortly.

00:41:22You okay?

00:41:23Just, you know, he's just so rude sometimes.

00:41:26Aha.

00:41:27And what was your strategy to clarify it?

00:41:29Well, we, uh, we told, uh, we-we tried to, uh, to tell one of your parables.

00:41:41Parables?

00:41:42Good.

00:41:43That's what I would have done.

00:41:44Which parable?

00:41:45The-the banquet?

00:41:46No, the one where the guests give excuses not to come, and so everyone else gets invited.

00:41:54You chose the banquet?

00:41:55People get upset by that one.

00:41:56Of course they do.

00:41:57Well, if it makes you feel any better, we first considered the wheat and the tares, but we thought

00:42:00better of it.

00:42:01I already told you.

00:42:02Some people wouldn't understand that parable.

00:42:03I'm not even sure I understand the wheat and the tares.

00:42:04Ha.

00:42:05Give it time.

00:42:06The parables.

00:42:07The parables.

00:42:08Good.

00:42:09That's what I would have done.

00:42:10The parables.

00:42:11Good.

00:42:12That's what I would have done.

00:42:13Which parable?

00:42:14The-the banquet?

00:42:15No, the one where the guests give excuses not to come, and so everyone else gets invited.

00:42:19You chose the banquet?

00:42:20People get upset by that one.

00:42:21Of course they do.

00:42:22Well, if it makes you feel any better, we first consider the wheat and the tares, but we thought better

00:42:24give it time.

00:42:25The problem is that they did understand the parable, and it caused fights in the street.

00:42:29Writing.

00:42:30Between Jews and Gentiles.

00:42:33Hmm.

00:42:34Leander's told us it's getting worse every day.

00:42:37The prominent Hellenistic priest has changed his ways, which is good, but when he abdicated

00:42:43his duties as priest and leader, others tried to fill the void, and so projects are going

00:42:49undone, and people are just angry and blaming each other for everything.

00:42:53Led to stealing.

00:42:54Fights.

00:42:55In the streets.

00:42:56Many people are actually leaving their homes to escape the violence.

00:43:00That's the environment you suggest sending us into?

00:43:05What part of the parable caused this fight to break out?

00:43:08The people outside the city, the ones on the highways and the hedges, the last to be invited

00:43:15and the last to accept the invitation.

00:43:17That's what I suspected.

00:43:19Speaking of which, the highways and hedges, does that actually refer to Gentiles?

00:43:23He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

00:43:30We leave in the morning.

00:43:32Everyone go home, gather your things.

00:43:34We take to the highways and the hedges before dawn.

00:43:44Boys, this is part of it.

00:43:48You try and carry heavy things, sometimes one gets dropped, but we pick it up and keep

00:43:55going forward.

00:43:57We're with you.

00:43:58You're with me.

00:43:59Yes.

00:44:00I see you again.

00:44:01Okay.

00:44:02Okay.

00:44:03You're in one.

00:44:04Mm-hmm.

00:44:05I know.

00:44:06John, may I have a word?

00:44:07John, may I have a word?

00:44:16Yes, Rabbi.

00:44:22I can do that.

00:44:23This isn't going to be easy.

00:44:26I'm sorry.

00:44:28The Decapolis will be perilous.

00:44:31The hearts I must reach there are hard.

00:44:34Jew and Gentile alike.

00:44:36Our time will be fraught.

00:44:39We are ready for anything, Master.

00:44:41We have Z.

00:44:42I can ask my father to come along for extra help.

00:44:44He's good with crowds.

00:44:45I want you to stay behind.

00:44:49The rest of us will leave in the morning.

00:44:50You will stay and wait.

00:44:56You just said the situation was fraught,

00:44:58which means I should be there more than ever.

00:45:00For what?

00:45:01Strength in numbers?

00:45:02Our challenges there are not based on how many followers are surrounding me.

00:45:08This is not about the lack of resources.

00:45:10Well, then what?

00:45:11Hard hearts, John.

00:45:13Cold, unyielding granite.

00:45:16I don't understand.

00:45:23You seem to think that we needed a full group for this trip, hmm?

00:45:28Who was missing at today's meeting?

00:45:33Oh.

00:45:36You will stay and wait for him.

00:45:37The success of this trip depends on Simon.

00:45:46Master, whatever it is you need, I can provide.

00:45:52Waiting for Simon is what I'm asking you to provide.

00:45:57Simon is distracted.

00:45:59He's not himself.

00:45:59Something is off.

00:46:01Maybe...

00:46:03Maybe it's better if he stays behind.

00:46:07John.

00:46:08I love you.

00:46:10But that's not the approach I take to people in pain.

00:46:13You should know that by now.

00:46:14What about one of the others?

00:46:16Wouldn't it be better if one of them...

00:46:17You've known Simon since childhood.

00:46:20But what about Matthew?

00:46:22They were able to work together to find Mary in Jericho.

00:46:24Did you think that pairing them up for that task was a good idea at the time?

00:46:28John, it has to be you.

00:46:41No more questions.

00:46:59No more questions.

00:47:26Where's your brother?

00:47:27Is he okay?

00:47:29You've got the hands full without worrying about it now.

00:47:51Shalom, Simon.

00:47:52What are you doing here?

00:47:53Did you sleep in?

00:47:54I didn't sleep at all.

00:47:57Why?

00:47:59Where's everyone?

00:48:00They left before Danforth at the Decapolis.

00:48:03No one told you?

00:48:04If you run, you could probably catch up with them.

00:48:06I'm not much of a runner.

00:48:14Simon!

00:48:16What are you doing here?

00:48:19I'm having a cup of water. I'm thirsty.

00:48:21Why aren't you on your way with the others?

00:48:23Did they tell you to stay behind and look after the women?

00:48:26I didn't know about the trip.

00:48:27I thought Andrew and Philip went and sorted it out.

00:48:34You're disconnected, Simon.

00:48:37You have no clue what's going on?

00:48:39You rebuke me, Sabadeen?

00:48:41Abba?

00:48:42Don't play games with me, kid.

00:48:45Salome and I were at your bris.

00:48:47Abba!

00:48:48Abba!

00:48:57What's gotten into him?

00:48:59What's gotten into...

00:49:01Just go get your things.

00:49:05Hi.

00:49:07I travel light.

00:49:09What are you doing here anyway?

00:49:10I came here to wait for you.

00:49:11Really?

00:49:12Oh, believe me.

00:49:13It was not my choice.

00:49:14If it were up to me, I would have left you behind.

00:49:17Did someone eat your breakfast, John?

00:49:18What have I ever done to you?

00:49:19It's what you haven't done.

00:49:22This again?

00:49:23You miss meetings?

00:49:25You hang around all night with a Roman official?

00:49:26Your wife doesn't even know where you are?

00:49:28So leave me behind like chaff in the wind.

00:49:31I can't!

00:49:40Jesus said the success of this trip to the Decapolis depends on you.

00:49:44You.

00:49:45Of all people.

00:49:47I don't understand it.

00:49:48And frankly, I feel disrespected by it.

00:49:49What am I going to say to Jesus, huh?

00:49:51No?

00:49:52Yeah, you could.

00:49:54You know I can't do that.

00:49:55Let's go.

00:50:25Andrew, Philip.

00:50:26I knew you'd return.

00:50:27Why are you acting like this?

00:50:28There's so much unrest and anger.

00:50:29I don't want to draw attention to.

00:50:30You.

00:50:31You.

00:50:32You.

00:50:33You.

00:50:34You.

00:50:35You.

00:50:36You.

00:50:37You.

00:50:38You.

00:50:39You.

00:50:40You.

00:50:41You.

00:50:42You.

00:50:43You.

00:50:44You.

00:50:45You.

00:50:46You.

00:50:47You.

00:50:48You.

00:50:49You.

00:50:50You.

00:50:51You.

00:50:52You.

00:50:53You must be the Rabbi we've heard so much about.

00:50:57More than heard about, as I understand.

00:51:00Rise, I'm sorry for the trouble.

00:51:03No.

00:51:04The strife between Jew and Gentile was there all along and a beller just simmering beneath the

00:51:08surface.

00:51:09If simply out in the open now, it is bound to happen sooner or later.

00:51:13It was bound to happen now.

00:51:14Rabbi!

00:51:15Telemarkus!

00:51:16Jesus of Nazareth.

00:51:17Your teachings have reached us.

00:51:19So I have heard.

00:51:20He has not.

00:51:22What do you mean?

00:51:24He's deaf.

00:51:26I, Abba, cannot hear and can barely speak.

00:51:28Telemachus, you are out of line.

00:51:30This is not why we need Jesus.

00:51:32Why shouldn't it be?

00:51:34Because, Rabbi, there are far greater problems right now than one man's ear.

00:51:36I can think of no better place to start.

00:51:38Didn't mean to spring this on you, I promise.

00:51:40I really didn't know.

00:51:42Please, Rabbi. I don't mean to disrespect them.

00:51:44I understand, son.

00:51:50It's okay.

00:52:20It's okay.

00:52:26Epatha.

00:52:28Be opened.

00:52:36Don't be afraid.

00:52:38That's what birds sound like.

00:52:40They sing.

00:52:44I don't even hear them.

00:52:50Abba, can you hear me?

00:52:52The sound of your voice.

00:52:54The sound of my voice.

00:52:56The market.

00:53:06The name Marcus.

00:53:08Am I saying that right?

00:53:10Yes, it's perfect.

00:53:12How do I know?

00:53:14How can we ever repay you?

00:53:16You have no money in the way to compensate.

00:53:17Actually, you can.

00:53:18How?

00:53:20By telling no one what happened.

00:53:22I strictly charge you to keep this quiet.

00:53:24Which should be easy for you.

00:53:26You've had quite a lot of practice.

00:53:30Now is not the time for this word to spread.

00:53:32Do you hear me?

00:53:34Now I hear you.

00:53:40You brought friends.

00:53:42I thought we'd seen the last of you.

00:53:44I'm consulting with Greeks, I see.

00:53:46Nishan, they're here to bring peace.

00:53:48Nishan is a healer.

00:53:49Argo never had enough money for Nishan to heal him though.

00:53:51Here to bring peace?

00:53:52That's what they said the last time.

00:53:54You must be the rabbi.

00:53:56The one everyone's been talking so much about.

00:53:58Tell me, what sort of respectable rabbi

00:54:01would be speaking amicably with a man

00:54:03who corrupts our Hebrew children

00:54:05by teaching them Greek philosophy?

00:54:07If this corruptor of children were to raise money for your fee,

00:54:11would you speak to him then?

00:54:13He will never raise the money, I know that.

00:54:16You want to dilute our fate!

00:54:18How do you know what he wants?

00:54:19Argo.

00:54:20What did you just say?

00:54:22The town deaf-mute?

00:54:24He's not the town deaf-mute anymore, Nishan.

00:54:27Go on your way.

00:54:28Who did it?

00:54:31I want to know who healed you!

00:54:35Your deafness was no doubt punishment

00:54:37for some ghastly sin committed by you or your parents.

00:54:40And I want to know who...

00:54:41It doesn't work that way.

00:54:43Oh!

00:54:44Then how does it work?

00:54:59What is it?

00:55:00Ho, ho!

00:55:14What have we here?

00:55:17The Galileans return.

00:55:19This time in droves.

00:55:21A drove is a flock or herd of animals.

00:55:23Oh, I know.

00:55:25They're Syrophoenicians.

00:55:27My friends, you seem upset.

00:55:32How can I help you?

00:55:33Are you the one they call Jesus of Nazareth?

00:55:35I am.

00:55:36They say you do miracles.

00:55:38All we've heard is rumors and heresy

00:55:41from the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

00:55:43Show us proof of who you are.

00:55:46Give us a sign.

00:55:49Or at least some food and supplies

00:55:51for other people displaced from their homes.

00:55:54Otherwise,

00:55:55take yourself,

00:55:58your followers,

00:56:00and your monotheism

00:56:01back west

00:56:02where you belong!

00:56:04I mean, aw,

00:56:05the Jews and their long-awaited messiah

00:56:08finally arrived to cause even more trouble

00:56:10and this is his army.

00:56:12Nabateans.

00:56:14How many is that?

00:56:15Nine?

00:56:16I have more children than them.

00:56:19Could I be your messiah?

00:56:22Blasphemy.

00:56:23Anyone else think we should move to higher realm?

00:56:25I agree, Rabbi.

00:56:26Tell us what to do.

00:56:28Wow.

00:56:29Are your followers always this strong and intimidating?

00:56:33Everyone calm down and settle in.

00:56:35Looks like we're going to be here for a while.

00:56:37I will.

00:57:00Just one trip, one errand out of a thousand, and this is the time I can't miss.

00:57:04You said you'd go with him to the ends of the earth.

00:57:06Yeah, that doesn't mean every time he goes somewhere.

00:57:08The Decapolis is hardly the ends of the earth.

00:57:11He didn't say it was.

00:57:13You know, I'm remembering something you told me in Samaria.

00:57:16I prefer not to talk about Samaria, if that's okay with you.

00:57:18That field he tricked you into cultivating for a Samaritan to correct your prejudice.

00:57:22It was not a trick.

00:57:23I'm not exactly fond of that memory, Simon.

00:57:25Melech, with a broken leg.

00:57:27You said in the morning he was healed, but you were already at Fatina's house.

00:57:32Jesus didn't have to be present to perform the miracle.

00:57:34What's your point?

00:57:36Why can't he perform a miracle in the Decapolis from Capernaum,

00:57:39instead of dragging us all into mostly gentile territory that already has it out for us?

00:57:44Ask him.

00:57:45I'm sure he'd be more than willing to answer your question since success depends on you being there.

00:57:49Afet is nicer with you than with me. I don't hold that against you, do I?

00:57:53Oh, how very generous of you.

00:57:55Any other virtues you'd like to lord over me?

00:57:57Simon the exceptional? Simon the distinct?

00:58:00And also, yes, maybe he calls me beloved sometimes,

00:58:03but that's only because you have Eden.

00:58:05I don't know what you're whining about when you have found someone like her.

00:58:19Look, I'm sorry, I... I went too far.

00:58:30I know I wouldn't want anybody to resent me for having a wife.

00:58:35Simon?

00:58:37Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, Simon.

00:58:40Hey, I didn't mean anything by it.

00:58:43Simon, what's going... What did I say? Simon?

00:58:47I trusted Jesus.

00:58:49Of course you do.

00:58:50Wait, wait, wait, wait. Trusted?

00:58:53I trusted that Eden would be okay.

00:58:56Safe while we were gone.

00:59:01I didn't know it, John.

00:59:03But before we all left on our two-by-two mission, we conceived a child.

00:59:08And while we were gone...

00:59:12No, no, no, no, no.

00:59:15I'm... I'm so sorry, brother.

00:59:21What happened? She almost died at home with the baby.

00:59:25There was so much damage, the doctor said she might never be able...

00:59:28But...

00:59:30Don't lie in heaven.

00:59:32Why didn't you tell us?

00:59:35Because I'm furious, John. I'm so angry.

00:59:39Look, he is who he says he is.

00:59:41I don't believe it. I know it.

00:59:43He's the first and the last. He can do anything.

00:59:45How could he let something like this...

00:59:47Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not the right way to think about it.

00:59:49Happened to Eden! Happened to me!

00:59:53Let's... Let's keep going.

00:59:56You're not exempt, Simon.

00:59:58Remember, he said that in this world, bones will still break.

01:00:02Hearts will still break.

01:00:04But he's making a way for people to access a better kingdom.

01:00:06He heals total strangers while I gave up everything for him.

01:00:10But that does not mean that your life will now be perfect.

01:00:12In fact, he said the complete opposite.

01:00:14I don't want to talk about this anymore.

01:00:24Life was a whole lot easier when we fished.

01:00:26She still could have lost a baby while you were a fisherman, Simon.

01:00:32We just wouldn't have anybody to turn to.

01:00:34He could have prevented it and he did not.

01:00:40Sounds like we're close.

01:00:44He said, it all depends on you.

01:00:50He said, it all depends on you.
