Transcript

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,

00:00:57as a day for gladness and feasting, as a holiday.

00:01:02Let's go!

00:01:04Let's go!

00:01:05Let's go!

00:01:07Let's go!

00:01:30Let's go!

00:01:34Blessed are you, Lord our God, master of the universe,

00:01:41perform miracles for our fathers.

00:01:44In those days, at this time, to life!

00:01:48To life!

00:01:54No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:01:56What are you doing?

00:02:04No!

00:02:34In the water

00:02:36Got no trouble with the mess you've been

00:02:39Walk on the water

00:02:45Walk on the water

00:02:51Walk on the water

00:02:54No trouble

00:02:56Walk on the water

00:03:00Got no trouble

00:03:02Walk on the water

00:03:08Walk on the water

00:03:23Are you 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

00:03:47Or it does

00:03:49Oh, Hades

00:03:51Oh

00:03:58You're bleeding

00:03:59Oh, thank you

00:04:00I know what blood looks like

00:04:04Oh, wow

00:04:05Just go without me

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

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

00:04:10Maybe

00:04:11Maybe

00:04:15We're almost home

00:04:19Can you...

00:04:20Yeah, hey

00:04:21Ah

00:04:22Ah

00:04:23Ah

00:04:24Ah

00:04:25Ah

00:04:26Ah

00:04:27Ah

00:04:28Ah

00:04:29Ah

00:04:30Ah

00:04:31Ah

00:04:32Ah

00:04:33Ah

00:04:34Ah

00:04:35Ah

00:04:36Ah

00:04:37Perfect

00:04:38Just perfect

00:04:39What?

00:04:40Blood, carnage

00:04:41Ah

00:04:42Ah

00:04:43It's a fitting end to our trip to the Decapolis

00:04:45No one was bleeding

00:04:46Yes, not from their skin, Andrew

00:04:47But 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

00:05:03On 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?

00:05:13Hold here

00:05:14A lot on our hands

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

00:05:17Much

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

00:05:28Yeah

00:05:29You'll need a walking stick

00:05:39Oh, welcome back

00:05:44At 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!

00:05:58Completely forgotten!

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

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

00:06:05What happened to 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 Abbi

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

00:06:36Yes

00:06:37Oh

00:06:38Aedes

00:06:39Uh

00:06:40You 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?

00:06:48Sometimes

00:06:51People respond better to stories

00:06:54Than to teach you

00:06:55Oh, a parable

00:06:56Oh, good

00:06:57Which one?

00:06:58A banquet

00:06:59Ah

00:07:00I love a banquet

00:07:02You 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

00:07:11Judas

00:07:14It comes directly from Jesus

00:07:15So it is perfect

00:07:16Don't misunderstand

00:07:17Okay

00:07:19But what?

00:07:20But

00:07:21I think

00:07:22Perhaps

00:07:23Jesus shares it when he wants a challenge

00:07:27Were you challenged?

00:07:28Oh yes

00:07:29Challenged, yes

00:07:30Challenged is fair, yeah

00:07:31So

00:07:33So it goes like this

00:07:34One time

00:07:35There was a rich man

00:07:36Who's throwing a big party

00:07:38It's this big banquet

00:07:39He wants everybody to come to it

00:07:40So

00:07:41He sent his servant out to all those invited

00:07:43Saying everything is ready

00:07:44It's time

00:07:45Come

00:07:46Only the guests that he's inviting

00:07:47Are making excuses

00:07:48The first says

00:07:49The first says

00:07:50I've just bought the field

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

00:07:53Please excuse me

00:07:54And another said

00:07:55I've just bought five york of oxen

00:07:56And I must examine them

00:07:57Therefore

00:07:58I cannot come

00:07:59And another said

00:08:00I've just married a wife

00:08:01And therefore

00:08:02I cannot come

00:08:03There'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

00:08:09The servant

00:08:10Reported these things to the master

00:08:11And the master of the house

00:08:12Became very angry

00:08:13And he said to the servant

00:08:14Go

00:08:15To the streets of the city

00:08:16And bring back the poor

00:08:17And crippled

00:08:18And blind

00:08:19And lame

00:08:20So he did

00:08:21And they came

00:08:22Only there was still room left over

00:08:23In the banquet

00:08:24So he said

00:08:25Go out to the highways and hedges

00:08:26And compel people to come in

00:08:27So that my house may be filled

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

00:08:35We did not know the extent

00:08:37To which the crowd was mixed?

00:08:39So go out and find some leftovers

00:08:41Did not exactly play well

00:08:43Well

00:08:44Well it should have

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

00:08:46The master said

00:08:47I want my house filled

00:08:49Everyone is invited

00:08:51Okay

00:08:52Okay

00:08:53So tell me

00:08:54Tell me if I have this right

00:08:55The Jews understood you to mean

00:08:57That Jesus was calling for Gentiles

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

00:09:01Second class

00:09:02And then the conservatives

00:09:04Who lived by Jeremiah

00:09:05Would have heard you saying

00:09:06That the original guests

00:09:07Who didn't want to go to the banquet

00:09:08Would miss the party

00:09:09And those

00:09:10Better versed than Isaiah

00:09:11Behold I am doing a new thing

00:09:12Were probably emboldened

00:09:13Except that Gentiles were there

00:09:21Yeah that's about right

00:09:22How did you know that?

00:09:23I 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

00:09:29Maybe you're over identifying your role in it

00:09:31Would people be brawling in the streets

00:09:33Of the Decapolis Judas

00:09:34If we hadn't gone there and preached?

00:09:36Brawling

00:09:37Boys

00:09:38It is way too early for the war

00:09:40We have to be smarter

00:09:42Chak put him to me

00:09:43Or not

00:09:46Come on

00:09:47Come on

00:09:49Come on, it's a holiday, not shiver

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

00:09:57Talk to Jesus about it

00:09:58Talk to Jesus about it

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

00:10:02What happened to your foot?

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

00:10:10See?

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

00:10:15About twice a year

00:10:17Just keep my distance

00:10:19I'm sitting right here

00:10:21We know

00:10:30This is very well written

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

00:10:35You cannot read?

00:10:37That must be very limiting

00:10:39This wasn't my choice

00:10:40You could learn

00:10:41You are very intelligent

00:10:48Thomas!

00:10:49Hello Matthew

00:10:54Did Rama return as well?

00:10:56Hey!

00:10:58How did it go?

00:11:00It's complicated

00:11:03Where's Rama?

00:11:05Did her dad say no or something?

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

00:11:11You've got to throw her

00:11:13You have toon the room

00:11:14Brema stayed behind and tell Thor

00:11:17Oh

00:11:20Well, at least your back

00:11:22Huh?

00:11:25Huh?

00:11:27Thomas!

00:11:30This

00:11:31Brema

00:11:33Brema stayed behind to work onкольку

00:11:34to work on Kafni. He's not a believer. In Jesus? Who knew that? In me?

00:11:45Ah. It's disappointing.

00:11:52Are you embarrassed? Nathaniel. He didn't say no. He just didn't say yes.

00:11:58Rema's working on him. We're hopeful.

00:12:19Wait. Thomas.

00:12:22Thomas. So, the good news is, we got the ash. The bad news is that townspeople now think

00:12:36that the followers of Christ are up to some scheme.

00:12:39Did I miss something? Thomas was back. And we were just wondering how it went at the market.

00:12:54We bought more than half of the vendor's supply of sulfur. People are going to think that we're

00:12:58building weapons, preparing for war. Igniting spears isn't the only use for sulfur.

00:13:05It can also be used to clean stains from white linens. It 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. He's over at our place speaking to Abba about the olive grove.

00:13:18We need to speak with him right away. Wait, why?

00:13:20Philip, what happened here first? Were you attacked?

00:13:22Nearly. We have a big problem with the Decapolis.

00:13:25I thought you were sent to go fix it. We need Jesus to intervene.

00:13:29On behalf of Gentiles?

00:13:31Excuse me. I am sitting right here.

00:13:34You're different. There are hundreds of pilgrims here in Capernaum,

00:13:38our own people who haven't seen Jesus for weeks, living in squalid conditions,

00:13:43waiting for one opportunity to hear more of his words.

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

00:13:49He never promised them more teaching. They followed us to Capernaum of their own accord.

00:13:54The Gentiles are curious now. This was all foretold by the prophet Isaiah. Do 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.

00:14:21Mm-hmm.

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

00:14:25Rahab 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. That's... Thank you, Mary.

00:14:39She's all right. Let's go.

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

00:14:47Okay.

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

00:14:55Okay.

00:15:01Smells nice over here.

00:15:03With the holy anointing oil of the first press.

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

00:15:09It is.

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

00:15:19You do?

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

00:15:37Well, 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...

00:15:47I put them back, of course.

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

00:15:51I just wonder...

00:15:55I'm very glad that you were staying at my old house, but I would ask you to please

00:15:59not go through my personal belongings anymore.

00:16:03Matthew, wait!

00:16:09Send by God, those were his exact words?

00:16:14Yes.

00:16:15Parentage?

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

00:16:21No, I mean his father's house, Jesus, 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?

00:16:39Yes.

00:16:40My 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?

00:16:50No.

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 though I'm clearly too old to fight, a 50 shekel donation will help his troops craft weapons.

00:17:08Thank 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

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

00:17:20But you seemed 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. I was dethroned.

00:17:31I am sorry. You're free to go.

00:17:48Oh, now you're free to do it.

00:17:52I think you will be very pleased.

00:18:21We will make our decisions.

00:18:28Look at this meager chump.

00:18:30His 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.

00:18:38You guys sure know your stuff.

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

00:18:43Who knew?

00:18:44Who are you?

00:18:46This is a gentile.

00:18:48This is.

00:18:49You 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.

00:18:57These 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 pilot'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?

00:19:14Rogue preachers.

00:19:16Specifically in Galilee?

00:19:18Anyone?

00:19:19Anybody talking about anything unusual?

00:19:21Give 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, if they don't want it, I'm starving.

00:20:08What 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.

00:20:42I'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.

00:21:00I don't talk.

00:21:01If you ask questions, do not make a sound until you get inside.

00:21:07You 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?

00:21:33There'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.

00:21:41Livia, 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.

00:22:11And Ivo is our...

00:22:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:12You 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.

00:23:22It 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.

00:23:32They're covered in mud.

00:23:33Oh, well, um...

00:23:36Jesus is always going away to his lonely places, and I thought I would try it.

00:23:41Oh.

00:23:42How 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.

00:24:01May I explain?

00:24:14Bye-bye.

00:24:24Bye-bye.

00:24:26Bye-bye.

00:24:27Bye-bye.

00:24:28Bye-bye.

00:24:29Ah, just as I planned. Late in the afternoon, on the sixth day, no line.

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

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

00:24:57Who?

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?

00:25:19Are you here to satisfy your tax requirement? Why didn't you want there to be a line?

00:25:23Maybe I wanted all your attention for myself. Besides, who wants to wait in a line? I 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 12 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.

00:26:30I 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?

00:26:38Son, I do not have many more days left on this earth.

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

00:26:47Oh, that.

00:26:50I bought all the debt of my children and my family and put it under my name.

00:27:01I've just never seen this.

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

00:27:08I must say I'm impressed.

00:27:16I 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 a 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-Ali.

00:27:45Son of my son.

00:27:48Later on, Jacob changed it to Ben-Yamin.

00:27:51Son of my right hand.

00:27:52That 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,

00:28:05I think old Emma Rachel was correct.

00:28:09Son of my son.

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.

00:28:45I have no assets.

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

00:28:52But 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.

00:29:04But 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,

00:29:17I have no choice but to place you under arrest.

00:29:20I understand.

00:29:26May I gift you?

00:29:29Gift?

00:29:30Gratuity.

00:29:31For 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.

00:29:45More 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.

00:29:55These are one of a kind.

00:30:03They date back to the first exile.

00:30:07made from the world's most exquisite Takien.

00:30:13Well, there must be a buyer for it.

00:30:15If 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.

00:30:28I 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.

00:30:41But some day, you might need them.

00:30:48That 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.

00:31:11Don't worry, old man.

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

00:31:21I will 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.

00:31:41More valuable than gold.

00:32:09More 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?

00:32:30I want to understand things, Maddie.

00:32:33Especially inscrutable things that don't settle me.

00:32:36And this was the most mysterious of them all.

00:32:42I have so many regrets.

00:32:45If 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.

00:32:56It wasn't about the tassels.

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

00:32:58That man wanted you to have his faith.

00:33:03That man wanted you to have his faith.

00:33:06That 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.

00:33:17And you are.

00:33:17It was his dying wish.

00:33:24Why would he want that for someone like me?

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

00:33:32A 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?

00:33:54I was going to leap from a great height

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

00:34:03I couldn't resist following it.

00:34:07And it led me to the place where I met Jesus.

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

00:34:24Our lives have often been painful, yes?

00:34:30Yeah.

00:34:30So 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.

00:35:14I know you are.

00:35:19Huh?

00:35:19I don't know what to say.

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

00:35:31I know you have felt unworthy.

00:35:40Matthew.

00:35:41I know you have felt unworthy.

00:35:47But it's time

00:35:49to

00:35:51add a new accessory to your clothes.

00:35:57Or rather an old one.

00:35:59Shalom, shalom, shalom, Matthew.

00:36:11Shalom, shalom, shalom, buddy.

00:36:13I'll be here.

00:36:14I don't know.

00:36:14I'm sure you can

00:36:31put your hood up.

00:36:32The next time you need to change your scenery, try a new food, teach yourself discus throwing.

00:36:55Discus? Really? It seems like you might be the one who needs a distraction.

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

00:37:05I'm a fisherman. I can tell when a ship has run aground.

00:37:10How long has it been like this?

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

00:37:12Yes, you do. That boy...

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

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

00:37:21You 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 doctor's gonna hurt?

00:37:34You saw the color of his skin. They think less of him because he's a servant.

00:37:37What?

00:37:43It's wonderful you kept in one when his mother died.

00:37:47He's not just a servant.

00:37:48Yeah, your son said they were best friends. It's like...

00:37:52It's like having a brother. I understand.

00:37:54They are. Half-brothers.

00:38:07Does she know?

00:38:07Uh, we don't talk about it.

00:38:09Um, you know, for Roman men, it is a more common thing.

00:38:13It's common for lots of men. It's just more accepted in your culture.

00:38:18Yeah, just spare me the sermon, okay?

00:38:21I'm not judging.

00:38:24I-I did not feel guilty about it at the time, but lately I do regret my actions.

00:38:32And now he's sick and I, um, I can no longer pretend that he's not my son.

00:38:43And neither can she.

00:38:43No.

00:38:44Silence between a husband and wife, it's poison.

00:38:49Like, the longer you don't say something, the worse it gets. Trust me.

00:38:52No, I do not.

00:38:53You trust me enough?

00:38:59Just stick to your side of the street, Simon.

00:39:01Fine.

00:39:05Shalom, shalom, guys.

00:39:08Why do you say it twice?

00:39:09Well, once means peace. Twice means perfect peace.

00:39:19Complete wholeness.

00:39:20I think it's a great idea, especially to have them on before Rabbi arrives.

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

00:39:43It would be faster if I just do it for you.

00:39:45Oh, I-I don't like to be touched.

00:39:49No problem.

00:39:55So, uh, first you have to pull your, uh,

00:39:58that's easiest if you take your outer tunic off first.

00:40:01Off?

00:40:02Yeah, I mean, you have your talic katan on underneath, right?

00:40:05It's where you attach them.

00:40:08Could you please turn around?

00:40:13Oh, sure thing.

00:40:15Why do we wear these anyway?

00:40:24God commanded it in the law of Moses.

00:40:26But what do tassels have to do with Torah?

00:40:29Well, the Hebrew letters that spell the word are the numerical value of 600.

00:40:33Plus there are 13 knots and threads used to make the tassels.

00:40:36Oh, and-and there are 613 commandments in the law.

00:40:38See? Got it.

00:40:40613.

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

00:40:45It's like-

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

00:40:47See? You-you're practically a rabbi already.

00:40:50Oh, sorry. Sorry.

00:40:53Okay, so, uh, on the bottom right corner of the talic,

00:40:57there should be a hole there.

00:40:59Oh, yes, I see it.

00:41:00Okay, you take three short strings and one long string.

00:41:03The-the blue one?

00:41:05Yes, the blue one is longest.

00:41:06Okay.

00:41:06He's here. Nathaniel, we will be there in a moment.

00:41:19Thaddeus, what are you looking at?

00:41:22I-I promise we'll be in shortly.

00:41:23You okay?

00:41:35Just, you know, he's just so rude sometimes.

00:41:39Aha.

00:41:43And what was your strategy to clarify it?

00:41:46Well, we, uh, we told, uh, we-we-we tried to, uh, to tell one of your parables.

00:41:55Parables? Good. That's what I would have done.

00:41:58Which parable?

00:41:59The-the banquet.

00:42:01No, the one where the guests give excuses not to come, and so everyone else gets invited.

00:42:08You chose the banquet?

00:42:09People get upset by that one.

00:42:10Of course they do.

00:42:11Well, if it makes you feel any better, we first considered the wheat and the tares, but

00:42:15we thought better of it.

00:42:17I already told you, some people wouldn't understand that parable.

00:42:21I'm not even sure I understand the wheat and the tares.

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 between Jews and Gentiles.

00:42:35Leander'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

00:42:44his duties as priest and leader, others tried to fill the void, and so projects are going undone,

00:42:50and people are just angry and blaming each other for everything.

00:42:53It led to stealing, fights in the streets.

00:42:58Many people are actually leaving their homes to escape the violence.

00:43:01That's the environment you suggest sending us into?

00:43:06What part of the parable caused this fight to break out?

00:43:09The 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.

00:43:18That's what I suspected.

00:43:20Speaking of which, the highways and hedges, does that actually refer to Gentiles?

00:43:24He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

00:43:31We leave in the morning.

00:43:33Everyone go home, gather your things.

00:43:35We take to the highways and the hedges before dawn.

00:43:37Boys, this is part of it.

00:43:49You try and carry heavy things, sometimes one gets dropped,

00:43:53but we pick it up and keep going forward.

00:43:56Hmm?

00:43:57Mm-hmm.

00:43:58Mm-hmm.

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

00:44:16Yes, Rabbi.

00:44:22I can do that.

00:44:24This isn't going to be easy.

00:44:26I'm sorry?

00:44:27The 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.

00:44:38We 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.

00:44:51You 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?

00:45:03Our challenges there are not based on how many followers are surrounding me.

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

00:45:09Well, then what?

00:45:10Hard hearts, John.

00:45:13Cold, unyielding granite.

00:45:18I don't understand.

00:45:19You seem to think that we needed a full group for this trip.

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

00:45:33Oh.

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

00:45:39The success of this trip depends on Simon.

00:45:43Master.

00:45:48Whatever 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...

00:46:04Maybe it's better if he stays behind.

00:46:06John.

00:46:09I 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.

00:46:19What 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.

00:46:36It has to be you.

00:46:41No more questions.

00:46:58No more questions.

00:47:27Where's your brother?

00:47:28Is he okay?

00:47:30You've got the hands full without worrying about it now.

00:47:52Shalom, Simon.

00:47:52What are you doing here?

00:47:54Did you sleep in?

00:47:55I didn't sleep at all.

00:47:56Why?

00:47:58Why?

00:47:59Where's everyone?

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

00:48:03No one told you?

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

00:48:07Not much of a runner.

00:48:08Simon, what are you doing here?

00:48:17I'm having a cup of water.

00:48:21I'm thirsty.

00:48:22Why aren't you on your way with the others?

00:48:24Did they tell you to stay behind and look after the women?

00:48:27I didn't know about the trip.

00:48:28I thought Andrew and Philip went and sorted it out.

00:48:30You're disconnected, Simon.

00:48:36You have no clue what's going on.

00:48:39You rebuke me, Mr. Abedin.

00:48:41Abba?

00:48:43Don't play games with me, kid.

00:48:46Salome and I were at your priests.

00:48:48Abba.

00:48:49What's gotten into him?

00:48:59What's gotten into?

00:49:02Just go get your things.

00:49:06Hi.

00:49:06I travel light.

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

00:49:11I came here to wait for you.

00:49:13Really?

00:49:13Oh, believe me.

00:49:14It was not my choice.

00:49:15If it were up to me, I would have left you behind.

00:49:17Oh, did someone eat your breakfast, John?

00:49:19What have I ever done to you?

00:49:20It's what you haven't done.

00:49:23This again?

00:49:24You miss meetings?

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

00:49:27Your wife doesn't even know where you are?

00:49:29So leave me behind, like chef in the wind.

00:49:31I can't.

00:49:36Jesus said the success of this trip to the Decapolis depends on you.

00:49:45You, of all people.

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

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

00:49:50What am I going to say to Jesus, huh?

00:49:52No?

00:49:53Yeah, you could.

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

00:49:58Let's go.

00:50:06Oh no.

00:50:08Oh no.

00:50:13Oh no.

00:50:15Oh no.

00:50:21Oh no.

00:50:33Oh no.

00:50:34Andrew, Philip, I knew you'd return.

00:50:47Why are you acting like this?

00:50:48There's so much unrest and anger.

00:50:49I don't want to draw attention to you.

00:50:55You must be the rabbi we've heard so much about.

00:50:58More than heard about, as I understand.

00:51:01Rise, I'm sorry for the trouble.

00:51:04No.

00:51:05The strife between Jew and Gentile was there all along in a village,

00:51:08just simmering beneath the surface.

00:51:09It's simply out in the open now.

00:51:11It was bound to happen sooner or later.

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

00:51:15Rabbi!

00:51:16Telemachus?

00:51:17Jesus of Nazareth, your teachings have reached us.

00:51:20So I have heard.

00:51:22He has not.

00:51:23What do you mean?

00:51:24He's deaf.

00:51:25I, Abba, cannot hear and can barely speak.

00:51:29Telemachus, you are out of line.

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

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

00:51:33Because, Rabbi, there are far greater problems right now than one man's ear.

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

00:51:39Didn't mean to spring this on you, I promise.

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

00:51:42Please, Rabbi.

00:51:43I don't mean to disrespect her.

00:51:44I understand, son.

00:51:51It's okay.

00:51:52It's okay.

00:52:06We'll see you.

00:52:13It's okay.

00:52:14A plaza, be opened.

00:52:36Don't be afraid.

00:52:39That's what birds sound like.

00:52:41They sing.

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

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

00:52:53The sound of your voice.

00:52:54The sound of my voice.

00:52:56Marcus.

00:53:06Tell me, Marcus.

00:53:09Am I saying that right?

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

00:53:12How do I know?

00:53:15How can we ever repay you?

00:53:16I have no money, no way to compensate.

00:53:18Actually, you can.

00:53:19How?

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

00:53:22I strictly charge you to keep this quiet, which should be easy for you.

00:53:27You've had quite a lot of practice.

00:53:28Now is not the time for this word to spread.

00:53:34Do you hear me?

00:53:35Now I hear you.

00:53:39That's good.

00:53:40You've brought friends.

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

00:53:45I'm consorting with Greeks, I see.

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

00:53:48Nishan is a healer.

00:53:50Argo never had enough money for Nishan to heal him, though.

00:53:52Here to bring peace?

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

00:53:55You must be the rabbi.

00:53:57The one everyone's been talking so much about.

00:53:59Tell me, what sort of respectable rabbi

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

00:54:04who corrupts our Hebrew children

00:54:05by teaching them Greek philosophy?

00:54:08If this corrupter of children were to raise money for your fee,

00:54:12would you speak to him then?

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

00:54:16You want to dilute our faith.

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

00:54:19Argo.

00:54:21What did you just say?

00:54:23The town deaf-mute?

00:54:25He's not the town deaf-mute anymore, Nishan.

00:54:28Go on your way.

00:54:29Who did it?

00:54:32I want to know who healed you.

00:54:36Your deafness was no doubt

00:54:37punishment for some ghastly sin

00:54:39committed by you or your parents.

00:54:41And I want to know who...

00:54:42It doesn't work that way.

00:54:44Oh.

00:54:45Then how does it work?

00:54:46What is it?

00:55:01Ho, ho.

00:55:13What have we here?

00:55:15The Galileans return, this time in droves.

00:55:22A drove is a flock or herd of animals.

00:55:24Oh, I know.

00:55:26They're a side of Phoenicians.

00:55:29My friends, you seem upset.

00:55:33How can I help you?

00:55:34Are you the one they call Jesus of Nazareth?

00:55:36I am.

00:55:37They say you do miracles.

00:55:39All we've heard is rumors and heresy from the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

00:55:44Show us proof of who you are.

00:55:47Give us a sign.

00:55:49Or at least some food and supplies for other people displaced from their homes.

00:55:54Otherwise, take yourself, your followers, and your monotheism back west where you belong.

00:56:04I mean, oh, the Jews and their long-awaited messiah finally arrived to cause even more trouble.

00:56:11And this is his army.

00:56:13Nabateans.

00:56:14How many is that?

00:56:15Nine?

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

00:56:19Could I be your messiah?

00:56:22Blasphemy.

00:56:24Anyone else think we should move to higher ground?

00:56:26I agree, Rabbi.

00:56:27Tell 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.

00:56:36Looks like we're going to be here for a while.

00:56:38Come on.

00:56:54Just one trip.

00:57:02One errand out of a thousand and this is the time I can't miss.

00:57:05You said you go with him to the ends of the earth.

00:57:07Yeah, that doesn't mean every time he goes somewhere.

00:57:09And the Decapolis is hardly the ends of the earth.

00:57:12I didn't say it was.

00:57:14You know, I'm remembering something you told me in Samaria.

00:57:17I prefer not to talk about Samaria, if that's okay with you.

00:57:19That field he tricked you into cultivating for a Samaritan to correct your prejudice.

00:57:23It was not a trick.

00:57:24And I'm not exactly fond of that memory, Simon.

00:57:26Melech, with a broken leg.

00:57:28You said in the morning he was healed, but you were already at Fatina's house.

00:57:33Jesus didn't have to be present to perform the miracle.

00:57:36What's your point?

00:57:37Why can't he perform a miracle in the Decapolis from Capernaum?

00:57:41Instead of dragging us all into a mostly Gentile territory that already has it out for us.

00:57:45Ask him.

00:57:46I'm sure he'd be more than willing to answer your question since success depends on you being there.

00:57:51Off it.

00:57:51He's nicer with you than with me.

00:57:53I don't hold that against you, do I?

00:57:54Oh, how very generous of you.

00:57:56Any other virtues you'd like to lord over me?

00:57:59Simon the Exceptional?

00:58:00Simon the Distinct?

00:58:02And also, yes, maybe he calls me beloved sometimes, but that's only because you have Eden.

00:58:06I don't know what you're whining about when you have found someone like her.

00:58:24Look.

00:58:24I'm sorry.

00:58:27I went too far.

00:58:31I know I wouldn't want anybody to resent me for having a wife.

00:58:36Simon?

00:58:38Hey.

00:58:39Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Simon.

00:58:41Hey, I didn't mean anything by it.

00:58:44Simon, what's going...

00:58:45What did I say?

00:58:46Simon?

00:58:47Simon?

00:58:47I trusted Jesus.

00:58:50Of course you do.

00:58:51Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:58:52Trusted?

00:58:54I trusted that Eden would be okay.

00:58:57Safe while we were gone.

00:59:02I didn't know it, John.

00:59:04But before we all left on our two-by-two mission, we conceived a child.

00:59:07And while we were gone...

00:59:10Oh, no, no, oh, no.

00:59:19I'm...

00:59:19I'm so sorry, brother.

00:59:21When it happened, she almost died at home with the baby.

00:59:26There was so much damage.

00:59:27The doctor said she might never be able...

00:59:29Tonight, Evan.

00:59:34Why didn't you tell us?

00:59:36Because I'm furious, John.

00:59:38I'm so angry.

00:59:40Look, he is who he says he is.

00:59:42I don't believe it.

00:59:43I know it.

00:59:44He's the first and the last.

00:59:45He can do anything.

00:59:47How could he let something like this...

00:59:48Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:59:48That's not the right way to think about it.

00:59:49Happened to Eden!

00:59:51Happened to me!

00:59:55Let's keep going.

00:59:57You're not exempt, Simon.

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

01:00:03Hearts will still break.

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

01:00:07He heals total strangers while I gave up everything for him.

01:00:11But that does not mean that your life will now be perfect.

01:00:14In fact, he said the complete opposite.

01:00:17I don't want to talk about this anymore.

01:00:25Life was a whole lot easier when we fished.

01:00:28She still could have lost a baby while you were a fisherman, Simon.

01:00:30We just wouldn't have anybody to turn to.

01:00:36He could have prevented it and he did not.

01:00:41Sounds like we're close.

01:00:42He said it all depends on you.

01:00:54He said it all depends on you.

01:00:54If you will.

01:00:57This one?

01:01:00I don't know.

01:01:09I don't know.
