00:00:24A
00:00:26A
00:00:28A
00:00:29Galilean Jews
00:00:39Twelve
00:00:41And two women
00:00:43I was told there may be as many as four women in your company
00:00:48You are followers of Jesus in Nazarene
00:00:51Who's asking?
00:00:52I have a package
00:00:53For Andrew and Simon
00:00:56Sons of Jonah
00:00:57You didn't answer his question
00:00:58What's in the box?
00:01:00I'm the messenger, not the sender
00:01:02I was only giving delivery instructions
00:01:04Whomever of you is Andrew
00:01:08Step forth
00:01:09Me
00:01:10Tell us who sent you
00:01:16And maybe we'll explain
00:01:17Easy
00:01:28Two meets again, boys
00:01:38I don't go by salmon anymore
00:01:50Whoever sent this is working with outdated information
00:01:52They didn't know Reymah died
00:01:54And why'd they put your name first?
00:01:58Found the older brother
00:01:59Maybe it was someone who knew Andrew better
00:02:01Could it be from the baptizer?
00:02:03Dead people can't send packages
00:02:04See how they got here?
00:02:07Yeah, that makes sense
00:02:08We could get a week's worth of rations for selling the box alone
00:02:20John definitely couldn't have afforded anything like this
00:02:23Remember the bag of gold that someone left for us before Samaria?
00:02:26I also remember the bag of dead crows that Amalka tent sent in Teldor
00:02:30People have sent letters asking for healings and signs in the towns
00:02:34Maybe from someone who really needs help
00:02:36They're trying to buy a miracle from Jesus
00:02:39We did receive a gift of gratitude from Fatia
00:02:41The Nabatian leader in Decapolis after defeating
00:02:45And why was Andrew's name first?
00:02:47Maybe there's a rabid animal inside sent to attack and kill us
00:02:49Okay
00:02:55Smells safe to me
00:02:56Just open it
00:02:58From Joanna
00:03:21For the uninterrupted continuity of the teachings and deeds of Jesus of Nazareth
00:03:28We're going to need to split up the work of selling this in order to liquidate quickly
00:03:34It'll take one person far too long
00:03:36So split it up
00:03:37Oh, these right now, yes
00:03:42Silver cooking blades
00:03:47Uh, Zee?
00:03:50I have someone for these
00:03:52Oh, wow, silk from the Far East
00:03:55No, I don't think that's a good idea
00:03:59But you know the value, Matthew
00:04:00You know how to get a good price for it
00:04:02I thought we all agreed that Judas would handle the money
00:04:04I have
00:04:05Just bring me back whatever you can get for it
00:04:07We trust you, Matthew
00:04:09Indefinitely
00:04:10Lapis, Lasuli, Amethyst, Carnelian, Jasper
00:04:24Valuable beyond rubies
00:04:26This will do nicely
00:04:28I can promise you that
00:04:29Big James
00:04:33You go with Tamar and Mary to market
00:04:35Make sure no one bothers them
00:04:36Hmm
00:04:36Uh, all that stuff are coins
00:04:39And the box itself
00:04:41You go in and sell the box, Nathaniel
00:04:43I'll come with you
00:04:45Hmm?
00:04:45And the coins?
00:04:47Judas, take the coins and put them in the purse
00:04:49Hmm, I can do
00:04:50What are you all waiting for?
00:04:54Go
00:04:54Let's make these gifts on Johanna
00:05:00Go a long way
00:05:01A little thing
00:05:03Go
00:05:04Go
00:05:07Go to the mouth
00:05:09You got this?
00:05:11Is this too?
00:05:12Oh, child
00:05:30Come on in
00:05:32Jump in the water
00:05:35Not more trouble
00:05:36With a mess you've been
00:05:38Walk on the water
00:05:40Walk on the water
00:05:46Walk on the water
00:05:52Oh, child
00:05:54Walk on the water
00:05:58I'm not more trouble
00:06:00Walk on the water
00:06:04Walk on the water
00:06:10You, Gadara of the Sadducean Persuasion
00:06:18Insist there is no resurrection of the dead
00:06:21The holy law of Adonai makes no mention of an afterlife
00:06:26It's right there in the Psalms of David
00:06:27David is not Torah
00:06:30According to the dough of the dawn
00:06:32My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
00:06:35Yes, yes, yes, but further down near the end
00:06:37All the prosperous of the earth
00:06:39Eat and worship
00:06:40Before him shall bow
00:06:42All who go down to the dust
00:06:43He's so tired of this line of reasoning
00:06:45And then here
00:06:46In the prophet Daniel
00:06:47And many of those who sleep
00:06:50In the dust of the earth
00:06:52Shall awake
00:06:53Some to eternal life
00:06:56And some to shame
00:06:57And everlasting content
00:06:59I don't know how anyone can refute that
00:07:02The metaphorical language
00:07:03It's about Israel's national resurrection
00:07:06From being muddled amid the dust of the Gentiles
00:07:09Awakening refers to the coming of Messiah
00:07:12When Jews who love God's law will arise
00:07:16From the spiritual slumber
00:07:17While those who reject the Messiah
00:07:20Will be put to shame
00:07:21And contract
00:07:22How do you interpret the words
00:07:24Eternal life?
00:07:26Haye Olam
00:07:27God's immutable law is eternal
00:07:29A life committed to studying Torah
00:07:32Is a life centered on matters of eternal importance
00:07:36That's Haye Olam
00:07:38How does the Sadducees' rejection of an afterlife
00:07:41Lead to more faithful adherence to Torah
00:07:43In practical terms?
00:07:44Practicality is our entire
00:07:46I would direct your attention
00:07:49To the words of the fifth book of Torah
00:07:51You shall therefore be careful
00:07:54To do the commandment
00:07:56And the statutes
00:07:57And the rules that I command you
00:07:59Today
00:08:00God's will is that we carry out
00:08:03His decrees here today
00:08:05Not in some imagined next world
00:08:07But this one
00:08:08The Pharisees' hyper-literal reading
00:08:12Of the prophet Daniel
00:08:13Is both dangerous
00:08:14And distracting
00:08:15If all your work
00:08:17Is only to receive a reward
00:08:19In the afterlife
00:08:20It makes you blind
00:08:21To the realities
00:08:22Of the one you're living in right now
00:08:24How would you respond to the accusation
00:08:26That the Sadducees' wealth
00:08:28And social status
00:08:29Make your interpretation
00:08:30All too convenient?
00:08:31Your class is so comfortable in this life
00:08:33Why should you worry about the next one?
00:08:36Ordinary Jews live lives of such discomfort
00:08:41That the hope of a better life in the resurrection
00:08:45Is what they have to cling to
00:08:47And you, Rabbi Zebediah
00:08:48You decline the daily Sanhedrin feasts?
00:08:52Zebediah
00:08:52You ought to address his interpretation
00:08:54Not his status
00:08:55Hypocrites
00:08:55Both of you accused my supposed affluence
00:08:58Of distorting my interpretation
00:09:00We are both provided for
00:09:02The point remains as much as you'd like to ignore it
00:09:05Yannick, please
00:09:06Take over
00:09:07Rabbi Gaddafi
00:09:09Yusuf?
00:09:11What are you doing here?
00:09:13This one
00:09:13Come
00:09:14Come
00:09:14Tell me
00:09:14I saw your name
00:09:17In the attendance for Sanhedrin
00:09:19And I thought it was a mistake
00:09:20So did I, honestly
00:09:22You finally did it
00:09:24Leaned into your Abba's wealth and connections
00:09:26I never thought I'd see the day
00:09:27Well, it's here
00:09:29You could have used your inheritance years ago
00:09:32To do what?
00:09:34I knew nothing but scholarship
00:09:36I had to minister to our people first
00:09:39Setting aside my own jealousy
00:09:41I imagine your Abba was upset
00:09:43Yes
00:09:45But his recent contribution
00:09:48Indicates he's gotten over it
00:09:50That was something in there
00:09:53Do you think the Sadducees have a valid point?
00:09:57The only thing I agreed with him on
00:09:59Was that you ought not to have brought his
00:10:01Fortunes into the argument
00:10:03Let the interpretation stand on its own merits
00:10:06Sensitive about money, are we, Yusuf?
00:10:08We both used whatever means necessary
00:10:11To lay hold of our seats
00:10:12You used bureaucratic triangulation
00:10:15I used my Abba
00:10:17Does my way sound worse?
00:10:19What matters now is that we are both here
00:10:21The only question that remains is
00:10:23What we will do with our new positions
00:10:25Fair point
00:10:27Although, I thought I did know
00:10:31What I came here to do
00:10:32But lately
00:10:34I'm not so sure
00:10:37What has changed?
00:10:43Let me show you around
00:10:44Well, we'll reach the Holy City by nightfall
00:10:53Well before night
00:10:55If we keep a steady pace
00:10:56Should we plan to set up camp in the same spot
00:10:58That we did for the Feast of Dabblenac?
00:11:00It's not a holiday
00:11:01And the camp would draw attention
00:11:02People are on the lookout for him
00:11:04What then?
00:11:05Are they in?
00:11:07Same problem
00:11:08There's eyes everywhere
00:11:09And documentation
00:11:10And records for visitors
00:11:11After Joanna's gift
00:11:12We do have enough to stay at an inn
00:11:14Perhaps several
00:11:16To spread us out
00:11:17And avoid suspicion
00:11:18We could put him in a disguise
00:11:21Use fake names
00:11:22Fake names?
00:11:24And violate the Eighth Commandment?
00:11:25Ninth
00:11:26He's right, John
00:11:30Lying is the ninth
00:11:31The order does not matter
00:11:33Lying is lying
00:11:34Zip
00:11:35You have a brother in Jerusalem?
00:11:37Yes, Jesse
00:11:38The last time I saw him
00:11:39He was homeless
00:11:40That could have changed
00:11:42He certainly did
00:11:43But I don't think his lodging
00:11:46Would accommodate us all
00:11:47So, does anyone have a rich uncle
00:11:50In the upper city or something?
00:11:51Judas says we have enough
00:11:52To stay under a roof
00:11:53If we can just find a way
00:11:55To keep Rabbi Zedendi's secret
00:11:57And hide his presence from Jerusalem
00:11:59Has anyone tried to contact Nicodemus?
00:12:01We do not know his heart
00:12:02Or his intentions
00:12:03I spoke with him, John
00:12:04He had an open heart
00:12:05Good morning, my friends
00:12:08Shalom
00:12:09Shalom
00:12:10Master, where would you like to stay tonight?
00:12:13The property of my friend Lazarus
00:12:14I thought he was in Bethany
00:12:15Correct
00:12:16So, we will not go directly
00:12:18Into Jerusalem tonight
00:12:19But we will stay over
00:12:20With Lazarus and his sisters
00:12:21And I'm eager to see my Ima
00:12:24So, let's get to the road quickly, huh?
00:12:28How can I help?
00:12:29Okay
00:12:29So, let's just look down the stairs
00:12:31Together over there
00:12:33Yeah, that's awesome
00:12:35I love you
00:12:43I love you
00:12:43I love you
00:12:44Halt!
00:13:04Halt! Jewish citizens!
00:13:15Everyone remain calm.
00:13:20Disarm yourselves and leave your bags. You're carrying ours now.
00:13:25Under Roman law, a soldier can force a Jew to carry his things.
00:13:30At random.
00:13:30There is a legal limit, a maximum of one mile and no foot alert.
00:13:36Master, this is humiliating.
00:13:38We will comply with dignity.
00:13:42Here.
00:13:55What must it be like walking around all day with old metal weighing your head down?
00:14:01Ever have helmet hair?
00:14:05You too.
00:14:07I'm roaming the tree.
00:14:08That's right.
00:14:09You.
00:14:10Take that.
00:14:11I'm not made of straw, Matthew. I can carry it.
00:14:13I'm roaming the tree.
00:14:14I'm roaming the tree.
00:14:15That's right.
00:14:16You.
00:14:17Take that.
00:14:18But...
00:14:19I'm not made of straw, Matthew. I can carry it.
00:14:26Hurry along, rats!
00:14:28Rats!
00:14:29With nice hats.
00:14:36Master, let me take that. You should not have to.
00:14:38No.
00:14:39It is no more unsuitable on my head than any of yours.
00:14:44We both know that is not true.
00:14:45Thank you for your concern, Judith.
00:14:47In the months since I last saw you in Capernaum, how have you grown in wisdom and stature other than coming to your senses that you can leverage your family's wealth?
00:15:12Will you stop with that?
00:15:13Fine. But you're not the same impressionable Yusuf that I knew in Galilee, always struggling with your tallit.
00:15:20I have become more committed, discerning, and observant, Shmuel.
00:15:24Who are the men we walked past at the entrance?
00:15:27Oh.
00:15:29I thought you said you were observant.
00:15:32But I meant in worship.
00:15:33Okay, so you're observant.
00:15:35Now let's find out if you make observations.
00:15:39I know what scribes are.
00:15:41Hmm?
00:15:42We also call them lawyers, in the sense that they are chief authorities under the sacred law of Moses, interpreters and arbiters of God's covenant with Israel.
00:15:51They're not dressed as nicely as most lawyers I know.
00:15:55It's an unpaid position.
00:15:57They have a second job to support what they do here, free of charge.
00:16:00Why work for no compensation?
00:16:03In hopes of finding favor with someone influential in here, and securing a seat if one opens up.
00:16:09Whatever means necessary.
00:16:11Exactly.
00:16:13What about them?
00:16:15Amethyst and topaz rings, popular in Greece.
00:16:20Athenian blue headdresses.
00:16:22Hellenized Jews visiting from Decapolis?
00:16:26Hellenized, yes, but not visitors.
00:16:29Herodians.
00:16:30Of course.
00:16:31Supporters of the client king, Herod Antipas, and by extension, Rome.
00:16:35They hope to secure greater political influence for themselves at the expense of the rest of Israel.
00:16:41Very morally compromised, selfish, misguided. The Zealots hate them.
00:16:44Oh, they hate us too.
00:16:46True. Everyone who isn't a Zealot. Even them.
00:16:50Heliod.
00:16:52Seeing those less and less...
00:16:55Following to the letter, we shall not round off the hair of your temple or mar the edges of your beard.
00:17:00Devotees of the House of Shammai?
00:17:02They're probably complaining about the Hillel Acolytes right now.
00:17:05They both are committed to Torah equally, only Shammai is more literal, while Hillel focuses on the broader principle.
00:17:11The latest dispute.
00:17:13Whether you should tell a bride on her wedding day that she is beautiful, even if it is not true.
00:17:19I'm guessing Shammai says no, because it would be a lie.
00:17:22Correct. And Hillel maintains that a bride is always beautiful on her wedding day.
00:17:26A bigger story of God and his people.
00:17:29Be careful who you say that around.
00:17:33I have a feeling about you, Yusuf. You weren't lying when you said you are observant. Dishanning.
00:17:40I have a feeling about you.
00:17:43I have a feeling about you.
00:17:45You've touched me well.
00:17:47Is something wrong?
00:17:49Wrong?
00:17:52Throughout history, men have called their age.
00:17:56Confusing times. Troubled times. Ours is no different, I suppose.
00:18:01I can honestly say I'm glad you're here.
00:18:05You've done well.
00:18:07Thank you, Rabbi.
00:18:12Everyone!
00:18:14Attention everyone, please.
00:18:17I have an entreaty to me.
00:18:18I got you. I got you. I got you.
00:18:32It's not that I'm humiliated. I am.
00:18:36It's that I'm so murderously angry that doing this to him.
00:18:39Hmm.
00:18:42I've done this plenty.
00:18:45It doesn't get any easier the next time.
00:18:56Which one of you does this belong to?
00:18:58Come on.
00:19:00I never could have imagined a moment like this.
00:19:06He said to submit, so we submit.
00:19:11The painful irony of some of his teaching.
00:19:14You know what the holy men who performed the circumcision say?
00:19:25What?
00:19:27The pay is lousy, but we get to keep the tips!
00:19:30Iconis.
00:19:32The sign is the mile marker.
00:19:36Your entire lives, I bet you've never been so grateful for the enshrined Roman law.
00:19:44We know this has been an honor for all of you.
00:19:47Stop here!
00:19:48Stop here!
00:19:57I said stop!
00:20:03The destination is that outpost a mile ahead, yes?
00:20:07It is, but we're only permitted one mile.
00:20:11By coercion.
00:20:13There's no law against citizens assisting you the rest of the way of their own volition.
00:20:19Come, my friends.
00:20:21If anyone says anything, say that we offered.
00:20:45Rabbi, what are we doing?
00:20:46Why would we just help Romans?
00:20:49Judas.
00:20:51Where did we meet?
00:20:54At the Sermon on the Chorazin Plain.
00:20:56Good.
00:20:58Whenever you are troubled, think back on my message.
00:21:02Maybe, uh, let us take back the helmets.
00:21:15So there's no confusion at the outpost.
00:21:18If you like.
00:21:19If you like.
00:21:35Give me that.
00:21:37Give me that.
00:21:39I'll take it.
00:21:41I've got it.
00:21:43Hey.
00:21:45If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him too.
00:21:50Go with him too.
00:21:58But we have gained new insight, which calls for revisiting.
00:22:01We all still mourn when we recall how the governor, Pontius Pilate, did so barbariously appropriate funds from the Temple Treasury for the construction of the Bayer Aqueduct to bring water into Jerusalem.
00:22:15And worse yet, we all still grieve for the lives lost of those who rose in protest to resist this provocation and were crushed, dismembered, disemboweled, and impaled on poles.
00:22:34Made an example of, for all, that none should defy Pilate's designs for this city, nor the means by which he deigns to carry them out.
00:22:45Hidera, you do us harm by reviving this abominable anecdote. We are still trying to hear.
00:22:51It would be irresponsible to ignore the ways in which this cataclysmic bloodbath may now prove instructive.
00:22:59Instructive?
00:23:01Credible intelligence has reached our ears that the event was a source of pain not only to us, but to Pilate himself.
00:23:10This sniveling child has proven incapable of remorse.
00:23:13Not when his job is threatened.
00:23:14Emperor Tiberius was appalled both by Pilate stealing from the funds, inexcusable even by Roman standards, and abundantly more so by the brutality with which he struck down our response.
00:23:30What are you saying?
00:23:31It would appear, however improbable, that we now want the same thing as Pilate.
00:23:44Peace.
00:23:46Pilate wants peace.
00:23:48Or at least Caesar does.
00:23:50Emperor Tiberius Caesar Augustus is not fond of Pontius Pilate.
00:23:54Exactly.
00:23:56Pilate's position as the procurator of Judea is on the line.
00:24:00He was reprimanded and warned when he sent out troops to kill Galileans while they were offering sacrifices in our temples, and then given a second warning for the Aqueduct massacre.
00:24:13He was already too young and in over his head for this position, and now he is officially on notice.
00:24:20Then let's make something happen so we can get rid of him.
00:24:24You're short-sighted, Sevadaya, as usual.
00:24:27I suppose we take advantage of his tenure situation.
00:24:31Take care of some things we've been putting off.
00:24:34Such as?
00:24:36That's for this governing body and its committees to decide.
00:24:39We could suggest to Pilate, a revolutionary leader is fomenting an overthrow for, say, removing the Roman votive shields from the palace.
00:24:52He does not take kindly to bribery.
00:24:54What are his other options?
00:24:55Listen!
00:24:56Hold your tongue.
00:24:57I have a seat.
00:24:58I will use my voice.
00:24:59This is absurd.
00:25:00Listen!
00:25:01I know what you mean.
00:25:03I know you have things you want to achieve, but you're new.
00:25:06No one knows you.
00:25:07You'll be shouted down.
00:25:08Then where do I start?
00:25:10Pick your battles.
00:25:11What do you want to accomplish?
00:25:12Whatever you came here for, the key is to get on a committee of men committed to the same ends.
00:25:27What are the committees?
00:25:28The entire range of Jewish interests.
00:25:31There's a committee on ritual purity and sacrificial inspection, very practical.
00:25:35Tithes and treasury, agriculture and food law, education and labor, Sabbath and festival observance, it depends what you came here for.
00:25:41I came to make a difference.
00:25:43Everyone says that at first.
00:25:44And then what happens?
00:25:47I'm trying to help you.
00:25:49Yusuf, you come from a prominent business family.
00:25:51And yet you chose to work among the common people in rural Galilee, where there's no room for intellectuals like us.
00:25:57But at some point, you decided to move on from your youthful righteous posturing.
00:26:01It was not posturing.
00:26:02Youthful idealism.
00:26:03You decided to grow up.
00:26:05Don't insult me.
00:26:06Do you lean toward Hilaire interpretations due to contact with Nicodemus?
00:26:11Did your time with Nicodemus have the opposite effect on you?
00:26:22None of those committees sounded very interesting to me.
00:26:24There are short term assignments too.
00:26:27There's a select committee on temple renovation.
00:26:30Liturgical reform.
00:26:31Reclamation of Beersheba at the southern border.
00:26:34Beersheba?
00:26:35Port of Edom, right?
00:26:36Yes.
00:26:37We all want the whole land of Israel, as God promised, but these men are especially hung up on a passage from the time of the Judges that describes the borders of Israel from north to south is from Dan to Beersheba.
00:26:47They want to take it back, restore the original borders.
00:26:50I cannot think of anything more tiresome or futile.
00:26:54I can.
00:26:56Preservation of Davidic artifacts for the National Archive.
00:26:59Investigation into the authorship of Job.
00:27:01Theorization of fulfilled late Babylonian, exilic prophecies, historical accuracy of the books of Judith and Tobias.
00:27:07Wait.
00:27:08What was the one about Babylonian prophecies?
00:27:10It's academic.
00:27:11Well, a proposed list of prophecies from the time of Nebuchadnezzar the second that may have been realized through the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes and which ones are yet to be fulfilled.
00:27:23That one.
00:27:25Really?
00:27:26Mm-hmm.
00:27:28You suddenly seem very sure.
00:27:30I am.
00:27:32Well, let's get you an introduction.
00:27:35So, Jesus.
00:27:38Yes.
00:27:39When you said go another mile, it's actually three.
00:27:44Including the two to come back and get our stuff.
00:27:47It's a miracle it's still here.
00:27:52Outside.
00:27:54I'm very proud of you.
00:27:56I know how hard that was for you.
00:28:00You all did so well.
00:28:01Now.
00:28:06On to Bethany.
00:28:26Rabbi.
00:28:28Judas.
00:28:29What are you feeling?
00:28:32I'm exhausted.
00:28:34Still not used to life on the road.
00:28:36Being an evangelist.
00:28:38Yeah.
00:28:39Give it time.
00:28:41And I'm tired too.
00:28:43We're almost there.
00:28:45You can see it up ahead.
00:28:48Have you been to Bethany?
00:28:49Yes.
00:28:50Actually, I wanted to ask you.
00:28:53While you spend time with your Emma, I was wondering if it would be alright for me to visit an old associate in town.
00:28:58Old.
00:28:59Oh, former associate.
00:29:00Ah.
00:29:02He took me on as an apprentice after my father died.
00:29:05Sounds like an important person.
00:29:07Not more important than you, Rabbi. Don't get me wrong.
00:29:09It's okay, Judas. I understand.
00:29:11By all means, go and see him.
00:29:14But, let's wait until after supper, eh?
00:29:17Yeah.
00:29:18Wait for it.

00:33:50that's interesting the horses love it
00:34:05how is your vineyard holding up it's been especially dry as of late but we're managing
00:34:13what's the going dairy for waters and pruners why you need a job not working for you that's for sure
00:34:21same as carpentry come on yeah a denarius yes i'm disappointed i thought you were shrewd
00:34:32i'm a denarius man that you are that reminds me of a story
00:34:40is everything all right martha
00:34:51i'm fine just um i've got to carry on she's please continue okay
00:35:01the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire
00:35:08laborers for his vineyard after agreeing with the laborers for denarius a day he sent them into his
00:35:15vineyard oh you make it sound so simple and going out about the third hour he saw others standing
00:35:24idle in the marketplace and to them he said you go into the vineyard too and whatever is right
00:35:31i will give you so they went
00:35:34going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour he did the same
00:35:45and about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing
00:35:51he said to them why do you stand here idle all day
00:35:54they said to him because no one has hired us
00:35:59he said to them you go into the vineyard too when evening came the owner of the vineyard
00:36:08said to his foreman call the laborers pay them their wages beginning with the last up to the first
00:36:16so when those hired at the eleventh hour each of them received a denarius
00:36:22and when those hired first came they thought they would receive more
00:36:26each of them also received denarius
00:36:30and when they got it they grumbled the master of the house
00:36:34saying these last worked only one hour
00:36:38and you made them equal to us who've been here all day in the scorching heat
00:36:42you reply
00:36:44friend
00:36:45i am doing no wrong
00:36:47did you not agree with me for denarius
00:36:50he would belong to you
00:36:52and go
00:36:53i choose to give to this last worker
00:36:57the same
00:36:58am i not allowed to do what i choose with what belongs to me
00:37:02or do you begrudge my generosity
00:37:05so
00:37:08the last will be first
00:37:10and the first last
00:37:13wait wait hold on
00:37:14the ones who worked the hour were paid the full denarii
00:37:17that's 12 times more than what they were owed
00:37:20sounds to me like the owner of the vineyard was getting cheated
00:37:23is the kingdom of heaven unjust
00:37:25i get it
00:37:26i'm happy to be last
00:37:28through earthly eyes
00:37:31i suppose it looks unfair
00:37:33but i didn't say the kingdom of this world
00:37:37i said of heaven
00:37:38it's a different calculus
00:37:41but people are not measured by what they deserve
00:37:44thank you
00:37:46this looks delightful
00:37:48would have been better if i didn't have to do it all alone
00:37:52better
00:37:54yes better
00:37:55more befitting if someone as important as you
00:37:58it seems you didn't notice my sister has left me to serve alone
00:38:02from the moment you got here she hasn't done a thing to serve you
00:38:06she's completely ignored everything i've been doing
00:38:08to make all of you comfortable
00:38:10and it's clear that she's not going to notice how hard i'm working on her own
00:38:13the only thing that could change it
00:38:15is if you tell her to help me
00:38:17martha martha

00:39:19and more
00:39:20your intention
00:39:21is well-meaning
00:39:23but only one thing
00:39:25is truly necessary
00:39:27the best way to serve me
00:39:30is to pay close attention to my words
00:39:33that
00:39:36is the priority

00:45:52well your hair needs washing oh so are you enjoying your new home in Bethany it's
00:46:09not home but I think both of us know neither of us can go back to Nazareth do
00:46:18you miss it Nazareth is just a place and after the way they treated you how about
00:46:24storm is there my thoughts dwell in the land of the living not the dead hmm is
00:46:33Lazarus taking good care of you do good if it were up to him I'd sit inside all
00:46:40day shaded from the Sun and doled it on by Martha like the Queen of Shiva I had to
00:46:46put my foot down and insist he let me contribute collecting seeds and berries
00:46:50so I've heard oh you're fine I see your hair still knots like it used to I see
00:47:01you're still not as gentle about it you got your strong hands from me don't you
00:47:04forget it as long as you don't lick your thumb and wipe my face again I'll be fine
00:47:08oh no need you lucked out thank goodness this reminds me of when things were simple they
00:47:25weren't always simple we struggled some nights your father and I would have to
00:47:31make a decision which one of us would eat I know it was important to learn the
00:47:40uncertainty of poverty
00:47:43my followers they are poor in another sense
00:47:57their way of understanding listening of faith
00:48:05destitute I'm afraid that bad
00:48:11they ask for earthly things positions of prestige on my right hand and left in glory
00:48:21they take offense when I show humility and deference to the powers of this world
00:48:26instead of I don't know turning the Roman soldiers into pillars of salt
00:48:32they're only human what did you expect
00:48:36also human darling I changed your swaddling clothes when they were soiled
00:48:45believe me I'm aware
00:48:47what grieves me is the yes a very human feeling that no one understands this
00:49:14by no fault of their own
00:49:19they're simply incapable
00:49:24I speak the words of my father in heaven and the religious leaders call it blasphemy
00:49:30and plot against me
00:49:33some people just generally take the wrong way
00:49:38my own followers say they agree
00:49:41but then they they act in a way that makes it seem like they've never absorbed a word that I've said
00:49:49what will it take for them to understand
00:49:52son?
00:50:04bitter
00:50:04bitter
00:50:04what?
00:50:10it's a bitter answer to a bitter question
00:50:12you speak in parables
00:50:21I do
00:50:23at times
00:50:25remember when your father thought you had to cut a doftail joint
00:50:33he didn't do it by telling you a story
00:50:38he put his hands on your hands
00:50:46wrapped your fingers around the tools
00:50:48and guided you
00:50:50cypress
00:50:55oak
00:50:56sycamore
00:50:57these obey the master's hands
00:51:01but human hearts
00:51:06that's another story
00:51:11well
00:51:14it doesn't hurt to try
00:51:16being direct I mean
00:51:19I tried it recently
00:51:20I told them exactly what was going to happen
00:51:25it didn't even register
00:51:27the human desire to avoid difficult news
00:51:34sometimes makes one deaf
00:51:38true
00:51:42you'll figure it out
00:51:48come on
00:51:52let's go inside
00:51:54I want to see how Simon is doing
00:51:56well
00:51:58for starters
00:51:59he has a new name
00:52:00oh really
00:52:01like
00:52:03Abraham
00:52:04to Abraham
00:52:05kind of
00:52:07still doing that old trick
00:52:24Hades and
00:52:25sticks
00:52:26how did you get in
00:52:30the key
00:52:31the key was still under the fennel plant
00:52:33you know
00:52:34it's a best practice
00:52:35to change the locks
00:52:36and switch up the hiding places of keys
00:52:37after
00:52:38terminating an employee
00:52:39I didn't terminate you
00:52:41you quit
00:52:41I never thought I'd see you again
00:52:43did everything fall apart
00:52:46we're just passing through Bethany
00:52:49oh
00:52:50make yourself at home
00:52:52oh sorry
00:52:53I
00:52:53I should have knocked
00:52:56what is home
00:52:58for you these days
00:53:00we're nomadic
00:53:01mostly camping
00:53:03your rabbi does not have a home base
00:53:05Capernaum
00:53:06I guess
00:53:07if you can call any place
00:53:09we haunt a home
00:53:10we're strategically displaced
00:53:14from Capernaum
00:53:15for the time being
00:53:15too much attention
00:53:18I heard his fame
00:53:20and infamy
00:53:22are spreading wildly
00:53:23shouldn't he be amassing an army
00:53:26not getting run out of backwater towns
00:53:29in the north country
00:53:30I'm newer than the others
00:53:31so
00:53:32my opinion doesn't count for much
00:53:34he could learn a lot from you
00:53:36he clearly does not understand
00:53:37the importance of perception
00:53:39in business
00:53:40business of any kind
00:53:41his image
00:53:42among religious leaders
00:53:43is a problem
00:53:44they're threatened by him
00:53:46not just religious leaders
00:53:47I heard one of his followers
00:53:49was
00:53:50murdered
00:53:51by a
00:53:52high-ranking Roman
00:53:53true or false
00:53:54that was a
00:53:55terrible
00:53:56tragic accident
00:53:58it was the
00:54:01praetor himself
00:54:01he was punished
00:54:04and demoted
00:54:04for the incident
00:54:05they kill one of our citizens
00:54:07and they get a stern talking to
00:54:09can you imagine
00:54:11if we lay the finger
00:54:11on one of them
00:54:12I mean
00:54:17we're going to find out
00:54:18because that has to happen
00:54:20pretty soon
00:54:21right
00:54:22I
00:54:24I assume
00:54:26Judas
00:54:28look
00:54:29Adad
00:54:30he
00:54:30he is the messiah
00:54:33no question
00:54:34he heals people
00:54:36he works miracles
00:54:37his teachings are like
00:54:40nothing anyone's ever heard before
00:54:41you said so yourself
00:54:42remember
00:54:43so why don't you sound convinced
00:54:45I remember
00:54:48that he did not take up a collection
00:54:50that crowd was
00:54:53enormous
00:54:54he had every ear
00:54:56every heart
00:54:57and therefore
00:54:58held all the strings
00:54:59to every purse
00:55:00all he would have had to do
00:55:02was ask
00:55:03they would say
00:55:04that's what makes him great
00:55:05no one can call him
00:55:07a charlatan
00:55:08or a con man
00:55:09which is more than I could say
00:55:13for myself
00:55:14for needing to eat
00:55:16I admit
00:55:20I
00:55:23I
00:55:23I don't understand
00:55:25what we're doing
00:55:27or why we're doing it
00:55:29I
00:55:29or
00:55:30why we're not moving
00:55:32much quicker
00:55:33I
00:55:34I'm trying to learn
00:55:36in the meantime
00:55:42I'm
00:55:43hey
00:55:44I'm not starving
00:55:45you were always skinny
00:55:46even when we were eating like kings
00:55:47so how would I know
00:55:48do you have savings
00:55:52I try to be careful
00:55:53with how I apportion out money
00:55:55I
00:55:55keep some aside
00:55:56for a dry spell
00:55:58but
00:55:58they're so frequent
00:56:00what do you mean I
00:56:01they put me in charge
00:56:02of the financials
00:56:03did you learn nothing
00:56:05from me
00:56:06I
00:56:07tried to forget
00:56:08sorry
00:56:10I'm
00:56:10I'm grateful
00:56:13for the apprenticeship
00:56:14but now I'm trying to use
00:56:17what I've learned
00:56:17to help the group
00:56:18and are you being compensated
00:56:20for your specialized skill
00:56:22there is another
00:56:22exquisite skill
00:56:24in bookkeeping
00:56:24but he won't go near it
00:56:26he was a tax collector
00:56:28guilty conscience
00:56:30you're one to talk
00:56:31if you are the only one
00:56:33qualified
00:56:33and willing
00:56:34then you deserve
00:56:36a stipend
00:56:37for your specialized work
00:56:38like the proverbs
00:56:40of Solomon say
00:56:41woe to him
00:56:42who makes his neighbor
00:56:44serve him for nothing
00:56:45and does not give him
00:56:46his wages
00:56:46that's not Solomon
00:56:47it doesn't matter
00:56:48who said it
00:56:49the principle stands
00:56:50you also know
00:56:53how to invest
00:56:53prudently
00:56:54it's just good business
00:56:57to take a small portion
00:56:58and put it in a bank
00:56:59where it can collect interest
00:57:01Jesus
00:57:03has a parable
00:57:05about that actually
00:57:06in favor of interest
00:57:07yes very
00:57:08then you have
00:57:09all the confidence
00:57:10to know that you're
00:57:11doing what he wanted
00:57:12you to do
00:57:12I didn't come here
00:57:14for advice
00:57:14then why are you here
00:57:15outside of looking
00:57:17confused

00:57:20and embarrassed
00:57:21you are angry
00:57:24Judas
00:57:25yes
00:57:27my understanding
00:57:30is shaken
00:57:31I know nothing
00:57:33except
00:57:34that he is the one
00:57:35true Messiah
00:57:36the future king of Israel
00:57:40to sit on David's throne
00:57:41and he called
00:57:43me
00:57:44and called you
00:57:47with a purpose
00:57:48until you figure out
00:57:50what
00:57:51you can at least
00:57:52make sure
00:57:52that you have resources
00:57:53to keep the mission going
00:57:55so that when he takes
00:57:57this Davidic throne

00:58:02to be secretary of the treasury
00:58:03under his regime

00:58:08I
00:58:09I

00:58:16complete fiduciary
00:58:17responsibility
00:58:18stop waiting for
00:58:20permission
00:58:21to better the ministry
00:58:22or to make adult decisions
00:58:24they all need to grow up
00:58:26you need to get paid
00:58:27and he
00:58:28needs to lead
00:58:29if you truly believe
00:58:36Jesus
00:58:36is the future king
00:58:38of the Jews

01:00:24all the land
01:00:25he's been away
01:00:27on a research trip
01:00:28for several weeks
01:00:29was he a special guest
01:00:30instructor at your
01:00:31Hebrew school
01:00:32you seem a little
01:00:33young for that
01:00:34he was visiting
01:00:35Capernaum
01:00:35where I was interning
01:00:36why did you choose
01:00:37Capernaum
01:00:38to be among the
01:00:39Galileans
01:00:39the common people
01:00:41away from my family
01:00:42house in the upper city
01:00:43here
01:00:44very noble
01:00:45I'm impressed
01:00:46it calls to mind
01:00:48the story of
01:00:49Samuel going to
01:00:50Bethlehem
01:00:51to anoint
01:00:51one of the
01:00:52sons of Jesse
01:00:53the next king of Israel
01:00:54they hadn't even
01:00:56thought David
01:00:57worth bringing in
01:00:57for Samuel to see
01:00:59you'll be surprised
01:01:01what you find
01:01:01in the small
01:01:02obscure places
01:01:03indeed
01:01:04Rabbi Shmuel
01:01:10tells me
01:01:10you're interested
01:01:11in redrawing
01:01:11the southern border
01:01:12of Israel
01:01:13to encompass
01:01:14the city of Beersheba
01:01:15that's right
01:01:15to honor God's
01:01:16original promise
01:01:17of the land borders
01:01:18north to south
01:01:19from Dan to Beersheba
01:01:21might be difficult
01:01:21to attract much
01:01:23enthusiasm
01:01:24for such an agenda
01:01:25when we have so much
01:01:27going on with Rome
01:01:28don't you think
01:01:29we have a strategy
01:01:31Beersheba may not
01:01:32seem like an urgent
01:01:33matter to many
01:01:34in the Sanhedrin
01:01:35but we know
01:01:36what will get their
01:01:37attention
01:01:37the death of Jesus
01:01:41of Nazareth
01:01:41I'm sorry
01:01:44surely you've
01:01:46encountered him
01:01:46in Capernaum
01:01:47of course we have
01:01:49but
01:01:49he's making enemies
01:01:50everywhere
01:01:50for good reason
01:01:51there is a group
01:01:53in Teldor
01:01:54that sent a delegation
01:01:55to Jerusalem
01:01:56to lobby for his
01:01:58deposition
01:01:58and prosecution
01:01:59I had not heard
01:02:01there were citizens
01:02:01moving to prosecute
01:02:02to claim his actions
01:02:03led to the death
01:02:04of a man's daughter
01:02:05they're definitely
01:02:06moving to prosecute
01:02:07he makes Jerusalem
01:02:08nervous
01:02:09and
01:02:10someone in
01:02:11Pilate's confidence
01:02:13is said to have
01:02:14been at an event
01:02:14at the Decapolis
01:02:15in which he broke
01:02:16bread with heathens
01:02:18all is taking him
01:02:19seriously now
01:02:20if he is arrested
01:02:20or even punished
01:02:21by death
01:02:22due to our efforts
01:02:23it will draw
01:02:24attention to our cause
01:02:25forgive me
01:02:26I'm a bit surprised
01:02:28at how casually
01:02:29you're speaking
01:02:29of the ending
01:02:30of a life
01:02:31armed capital punishments
01:02:32only allowed
01:02:32in temple grounds
01:02:33and when was the last time
01:02:35the Sanhedrin
01:02:35even carried one out
01:02:36he has also claimed
01:02:37to be the son of man
01:02:37the politics of our
01:02:40decisions aside
01:02:41this is no
01:02:42innocent man
01:02:43blood on your hands
01:02:44does not always
01:02:45equate to wrongdoing
01:02:46sometimes
01:02:47the results
01:02:47can be just
01:02:48if this netherain
01:02:50continues his efforts
01:02:51the nation
01:02:53will practically
01:02:53thank us
