01:00He said, someone around the table.
01:03Yes, I know, Zee. This is unthinkable.
01:08Who do you think could even possibly betray this?
01:11Especially now.
01:13Could it be Thomas?
01:15I mean, he's been so angry for so long.
01:18If it's him, he hasn't done a good job hiding it.
01:20You haven't exactly been happy either.
01:25Careful.
01:28I wanted to unite our people and show more of his power.
01:33Lazarus' raising did not upset me the way it did Thomas.
01:35Yes, we can't let this tear us apart.
01:40Let's just take a moment.
01:42Is it me, Rabbi?
01:45Because of Rehmer?
01:48What about Rehmer?
01:50Is my anger the betrayal?
01:52You have been faithful in spite of your anger.
02:02I'm trying.
02:04I know.
02:06He said it has to be someone in this room.
02:08Is it you?
02:09Is it you?
02:10All right, all right.
02:12I can't even believe we're having this discussion.
02:14But let's start with who it definitely is not.
02:17Peter, who is named the Rock, our leader,
02:20and the foundation of Jesus' church.
02:21So it can't be him.
02:22And I am the one who brought Peter to Jesus back when he was still Simon.
02:27So?
02:28Yes, and I'm sitting at Jesus' right hand.
02:31Something he rebuked you for asking for.
02:33And yet he just asked me to stay close to him.
02:35I have been faithful without demanding, and I see it.
02:38Stop it, all of you.
02:42This questioning of who is the greatest.
02:46Foolishness.
02:48Return to your places at the table, please.
02:58Obsessing over who is the greatest is something the pagans do.
03:01Remember, I've told you this before.
03:12Their kings love to exercise their authority
03:14and give themselves coveted titles.
03:18That cannot be you.
03:20Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest
03:23and the leader as the one who serves,
03:27like I just showed you,
03:28by washing your feet,
03:31even though I'm your rabbi.
03:32Rabbi, forgive us.
03:34Especially those arguing about titles after what you just said.
03:38But please,
03:39give us some grace when you just informed us
03:41one of us might...
03:42Betrayal?
03:44What are we supposed to do with that?
03:45I am giving you so much to understand.
03:51And I know
03:53it doesn't all make sense to you.
03:57Some of what I am saying is for today.
04:00Some is for tomorrow.
04:04Some of it is for the distant future.
04:06Father...
04:07Please,
04:09just trust in the Father's plan,
04:12especially with what is upsetting today.
04:18I know I raised my voice,
04:21but you're the ones who have stayed with me in my trials thus far.
04:26And I just don't want you consumed
04:27with things that are of this world,
04:30when there is so much more to come
04:32that is greater and more important.
04:36Consider this.
04:38I will assign to you,
04:40as my Father assigned to me,
04:41a kingdom
04:42that you may eat and drink
04:45at my table
04:46in my kingdom
04:48and sit on thrones
04:51judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
04:55So enough with the concern about today.
04:59The twelve tribes of Israel?
05:04One for each of us?
05:06What about the betrayer of whom you spoke?
05:10He gets to judge one of the tribes too?
05:17You'll sort that out.
05:23Speaking of numbers,
05:25let's continue our Passover.
05:26the ten drops of wine
05:30in remembrance of the ten plagues on Egypt
05:32and our exodus from it.
05:37Blood.
05:38Blood.
05:41Frogs.
05:44Nats.
05:46Flies.
05:49Disease.
05:52Boils.
05:54Hail.
05:54Locus.
05:55Darkness.
05:56The death of the firstborn.
05:57The death of the firstborn.
06:01John, will you begin the day you know for us?
06:07John, will you begin the day you know for us?
06:21Yes.
06:21Of course, Rabbi.
06:23If he had brought us out from Egypt
06:37and not carried out judgments against them.
06:40It would have been enough.
06:42Oh, child, come on in.
06:58Jump in the water.
06:58Got no trouble with a mess you've been.
07:04Jump in the water.
07:05Water, got no trouble with a mess you've been
07:10Walk on the water
07:12Walk on the water
07:18Walk on the water
07:24Walk on the water
07:30Walk on the water
07:36Walk on the water
08:00Some have speculated that the merchants are feeling salted over being called swindlers
08:05Oh, really?
08:07They speculated that?
08:08So stoop
08:09Money is more powerful than words bandied about by radicals
08:15Oh, yeah, of course, I completely agree with you
08:17We all have setbacks
08:19They can be hard to swallow
08:21Oh, Jesus said
08:23The tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of heaven before them
08:27I know, it stings a bit, but you'll get over it
08:30Do you know who you are speaking to?
08:34This is Ananas, son of the high priest
08:38Anas
08:38Oh, I know how you feel
08:41My Abba chose my brother-in-law over me to inherit the family farm just because I had lived
08:48Silence
08:48His leg is fine
08:51It's better than fine now, thanks to you-know-who
08:56Shalom
08:59Jesus' comments about the prostitutes entering the kingdom of heaven before us are damning
09:07You don't believe in the kingdom of heaven?
09:10It's the principle of the thing
09:11Is it ever anything other than the principle of the thing?
09:15Exactly, Anan
09:15You got your name wrong
09:18I'm starting to think you've been stirred up over nothing
09:22We are agents of God
09:25You must remember, we are dealing with mortal beings
09:29Full of shame, frustration, fear of the unknown
09:32They will be driven back to the known
09:35A familiar tradition
09:37I agree
09:37Jesus' credentials are thin
09:39From what I understand
09:41He's a homeless tradesman
09:43He can offer them nothing
09:45Once this euphoria they experience from his unhinged squeeze against us fades
09:52Reality will set back in
09:55Which is?
09:56Taxes!
09:57Rome is not going to magically disappear because he's a compelling wordsmith
10:03And those taxes he's telling us to pay aren't going down
10:05Right
10:06Their memories will return
10:09The actions of previous people who claim to be messiah have led to massacre and loss of loved ones
10:17All we need to do is nudge them toward those painful memories
10:23Fear will motivate them to police themselves
10:27Of course, yes
10:29This is wisdom
10:33My brother-in-law has no understanding of the most basic human impulses
10:39When he inevitably mismanages this
10:42My father will seethe with disappointment
10:47Disdain
10:49Regret
10:51For choosing someone outside the bloodline of the family
10:54For the role of high priest
10:59Brother
11:00Shoshana
11:03I'm so happy to see you
11:05Come, come inside
11:06Come, hello
11:07How was your journey?
11:08Good, I'm hungry as a horse
11:10I'm hungry
11:15Ananas
11:16Diabas
11:18Oh
11:20Mercy
11:21You brought a congregation to this appointment
11:25The situation calls for a congregation
11:28Because the two of us could not simply make deliberations as a pair
11:32In an abundance of counselors
11:34There is safety
11:35Oh
11:36Feeling unsafe for you
11:38Enough already, you two
11:40Let's eat and you'll forget your squabbles
11:43Our Abba won't forget, Shosh
11:45Abba wants you and Caiaphas to collaborate
11:48If you can't do that, then stop wasting everyone's time and get out of this house
11:53Why the need for collaboration?
11:57Because your husband can't handle it by himself?
12:01I'm sorry for the long walk you've all made through Jerusalem's crowded streets
12:07But I'm afraid you've come here under false pretenses
12:13I've already made the decision to arrest Jesus
12:17I received approval from Anas early this morning
12:20Arrest him
12:21Arrest him
12:24And then what?
12:25Our law prohibits trials from being held on Shabbat or High Holidays
12:29The Passover begins tomorrow night
12:31And, uh, capital trials must last more than one day
12:36To allow for purposeful consideration on the part of the judges
12:40You're out of time, Caiaphas
12:42Even if you knew where to find him
12:44I have
12:47I have operatives currently scouting his location
12:51Ooh
12:52Operatives
12:54He has operatives
12:55Enough
13:10Rabbi, look
13:13The-the-the fig tree you cursed
13:15Withered overnight
13:17Peter, you've seen me walk on water
13:20And you're astonished by this?
13:23I don't know
13:25It gets me every time
13:26Listen carefully
13:28I know you're confused about why I would curse a fig tree
13:31Yes, Nathaniel?
13:33Of course
13:38Have faith
13:40You've heard many of our rabbis talk about moving mountains
13:44Obstacles or impossible situations
13:47That get in our way of pursuing
13:49Or trusting God
13:51And truly
13:53Whoever says to this mountain right here
13:55Be taken up
13:57And thrown into the sea
13:59And does not doubt in his heart
14:01It will be done for him
14:03Whatever you ask in prayer
14:06Believe that you have received it
14:08And it will be yours
14:15Sounds great
14:17You need to understand that
14:20As you face mountains the rest of your life
14:22But
14:24I didn't just do this to the tree to prove I can do anything
14:28Why else did I curse this tree?
14:31Philip?
14:33Did not bear fruit
14:35But as John pointed out yesterday
14:37It wasn't in season anyway
14:39What was I expecting?
14:40There were leaves
14:51Very good, Andrew
14:53It's not in full season
14:55But fruit usually comes before or along with leaves
14:59Leaves
15:00Leaves promise fruit
15:02Even if just the beginning of growth
15:05And there was nothing
15:08This tree gave the appearance of fruit
15:11But lacked anything good
15:13Does that remind you of anything?
15:16The temple
15:20The temple
15:24I destroyed the marketplace in the temple
15:27And cursed the leaders there for the same reason as this tree
15:31I'm here to tear down what isn't bearing fruit
15:34And the time for that is now
15:37Is now
15:39And you need to be aware
15:43John, tell me
15:45From the moment the fig tree's branches become tender
15:48And the first buds appear
15:50What does it tell you?
15:52About seasons?
15:53That summer is about to arrive
15:54So also it is with you
15:56The things you have seen
15:58And heard this past week
16:00Are a sign to you
16:02A signal
16:03That what has been foretold
16:05Is about to pass
16:06At the arrival of summer
16:12I've told Peter
16:14And John
16:16And Big James
16:17And Andrew this already
16:21But now I say to all of you as well
16:24Because I want you to be ready
16:26And to prepare yourselves
16:31You will be delivered up to tribulation
16:34And put to death
16:37And you will be hated by all nations
16:39For my name's sake
16:43But before this
16:46Something else must happen
16:48Which I have told you before
16:51And yet you seem
16:54Unwilling
16:56Unable
16:57Or not sober enough to absorb
16:59As you all know the passover begins tomorrow at sunset
17:05And on the first day of the passover
17:09The son of man will be delivered up to be crucified
17:12You are crucified
17:16You just
17:18Delivered up
17:20Right?
17:21Crucified?
17:22If I have to die myself
17:23I won't let it happen
17:24We'll take your place
17:25You're the messiah
17:26You can prevent whatever you want
17:27There can be no executions during high holy days
17:29It would be illegal
17:30Who's delivering you over?
17:31We'll stop them
17:32We'll get you out of the city
17:33We'll go tonight
17:34We'll get you out of the city
17:35Again
17:36Again
17:37Again.
18:37Hades and sticks, Claudia. Look at yourself.
18:47My love, please, what is it? Just tell me.
18:55A coiled.
18:57A garden.
18:59Olives.
19:03A lion.
19:04A curtain.
19:07Horses. Broken graves.
19:11What if that makes any sense?
19:15We have to leave.
19:19What?
19:20Now, Pontius, let's leave the city and never come back.
19:23Never come back? Why?
19:26Darling, I know you haven't been feeling well.
19:29We can't stay!
19:30Claudia, a city is not the thing causing your indisposition. It doesn't work that way.
19:42It's not the city.
19:43It's what then?
19:44I can't.
19:56I am the governor of Jerusalem!
20:00We cannot return to Caesarea Maritima during this momentous week for reasons that we both know.
20:07Well, I'm not the governor!
20:10Let me go!
20:12I can't be here.
20:16I can't.
20:17You are my wife!
20:18How will it look to the people?
20:21And which do you love more?
20:23Hmm?
20:24The people's perception of our marriage or me?
20:27Oh.
20:33Wait.
20:35Wait, no, no, no.
20:36No, no, no, I take it back.
20:38I take it back.
20:38I can't leave you behind.
20:39But who knows what you might do to him?
20:46Do to whom?
20:47You have a history, Pontius.
20:48And you have never had to make hard choices.
20:55I'm sorry.
20:57I'm sorry.
20:58I'm sorry.
21:00Just keep breathing and try to relax.
21:03Oh, you've just ended any possibility of that.
21:17You don't appear to be in the mood for pleasantries.
21:29So I'll get straight to it.
21:30At this very moment, the Pharisees are plotting to arrest Jesus of Nazareth.
21:35They what?
21:37That's absurd.
21:38How do you know that?
21:40What do I say?
21:41Of course you know.
21:42They don't have the authority.
21:43It's illegal.
21:44Who would they even send to arrest him?
21:45They have a temple guard.
21:46Yes.
21:46And they guard the temple.
21:47It's in the name.
21:48They don't arrest citizens.
21:50Only we can do it.
21:50They were hoping you might do it.
21:52But that plan didn't work.
21:53So now they're planning to do it.
21:54The law be damned.
21:55Well, then we'll slap them with a colossal fine to both remind them of their place and
22:01make up for the lost revenues from the incident in the temple market.
22:04Problem solved.
22:04Listen to me, Pontius.
22:13I have served you like a grateful son and at times a protective father.
22:16Take your hands off me.
22:17I have held your hand like a little boy crossing the street and tried to save you from yourself.
22:24You will not speak to me like that.
22:26I am Atticus Aemilius Pulcher, an upper-legged of the Imperial Legion, commander of Roman Emperor
22:40Tiberius's Cohortus Urbani private beliefs.
22:43And you, Pontius Pilate, are derelict in your duty.
22:50I'm going to take care of some of these things myself.
22:58When the time comes, you better be ready to take the reins.
23:09There is only one solution to this endless strive in our community.
23:16Jesus, the Nazarene, must be put to death.
23:21That would only create more strife.
23:23So the wind, reap the whirlwind.
23:26We don't have the authority.
23:27How in Hades are you going to get Pilate to sanction such an execution?
23:32He wants this thorn out of his side as much as we do.
23:36Who said we all feel him to be a thorn?
23:38You'd be lying to say you haven't marveled at his teaching, Shmuel.
23:41I have marveled at his audacity, at his contempt for Torah, tradition, and us.
23:47He does not hold Torah in contempt.
23:50He does question some of our traditions.
23:54And to be honest, some of them could warrant the re-examination.
23:57You're so predictable, Shmuel.
23:59What do you want?
24:00To set our practices in immovable stone?
24:03The world is changing, and Jesus offers a vision to redeem it.
24:07You hate that?
24:09Hate?
24:10Yusef, this is not about hate.
24:13It is about love.
24:15Love for God's eternal word.
24:17For the faith that has sustained our people for generations.
24:21David killed Goliath because he loved Israel and was zealous for her protection.
24:26And it was David who later wrote in his songs,
24:29Zeal for your house has consumed me,
24:32and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
24:35David did a lot of things that wouldn't hold up in this court.
24:38Are we going to debate this until sundown?
24:42Speaking of death, my wife will kill me if I leave her alone
24:45to search and purge the home of Levin all by herself.
24:48You shouldn't use the word kill lightly.
24:51We are debating an actual human life here, not your marriage.
24:55Azam is right.
24:58The Passover begins tomorrow night,
24:59and we are running out of time
25:02before legal infractions related to the holiday
25:06suspend any possibility of meaningful action.
25:13And yet our peril is serious.
25:18It is unlikely that Jesus will go away or silence himself.
25:25No one knows where he is,
25:28and I have assured Goliath that we can handle this situation ourselves.
25:32The only answer is prayer.
25:42Adonai, our God, King of the universe,
25:47may the Lord of justice spread a sukkah of wisdom over this nation
25:55in the face of imminent destruction.
25:59Your eternal will has been slandered.
26:03The holy temple, your dwelling place among men,
26:08maimed, ravaged, and violated.
26:12Your chosen peoples, seduced, bewitched, and deceived
26:20by a sorcerer, a necromancer,
26:24who has declared himself higher than you.
26:29There is none higher than you.
26:34Do not remember against us our iniquities
26:40or the iniquities of former generations,
26:43but let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
26:49for we are brought very low.
26:52Help us, O God of our salvation.
26:58For the glory of your name, deliver us.
27:03For your name's sake, why should the nation say,
27:08where is their God?
27:10God, send us wisdom, guidance, aid, and revelation.
27:20We beseech you.
27:23Arise and show mercy to Zion.
27:33Blessed be our God.
27:36Blessed be our Lord.
27:38Blessed be our King, our Saviour.
27:44Amen.
27:45Amen.
28:08What?
28:09What is it?
28:38Amen.
28:44Amen.
28:45Yes, that's it.
28:53Amen.
28:57Amen.
28:58It's your friend.
29:00And now.
29:01It's your friend.
29:04When the world is recognized,
29:06it's your friend may be named.
29:07Come on, man.
29:37He's going through a hard time.
30:01You think so, John?
30:03He can mean the things he says.
30:11I don't think that's possible, Peter.
30:12I've come to learn everything's possible, Philip.
30:14When has he ever not meant what he said?
30:17Must be a test.
30:18He wanted to see how we would react.
30:25Well, he saw.
30:27Or it is a forewarning, so we can prepare to rescue him.
30:31He didn't ask for that, Zee.
30:32I can't believe this is happening.
30:34Nothing is happening.
30:35Peter, are you blind?
30:37Deaf?
30:39Things are happening.
30:40And if any of you had been paying close attention, it would not have come as a sudden shock.
30:45How dare you accuse us of not paying attention?
30:47You're all acting as if he's never intimated, hinted, or even said these things to us outright.
30:52He was testing us.
30:54He was testing us to see if we would still believe.
30:57Andrew, I love you, but that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard come out of your mouth.
31:02And we went through puberty together.
31:04Everyone!
31:04Stay focused.
31:19Just as a thought experiment.
31:23What if we take him at his word?
31:26That it's not a test.
31:28It's not a metaphorical language.
31:30It's straightforward, literal information.
31:32Then we've all been deceived.
31:34He's not the Messiah, and we've just wasted the past three years of our lives.
31:37How did you say that?
31:38How, Thaddeus?
31:39You want to ask me how?
31:40Boys!
31:42Don't do this.
31:46I'm with Matthew.
31:47We take him at his word.
31:50It's insane to me that any of you could consider doing otherwise.
31:54He often speaks in parables.
31:57Delivered up to be crucified does not sound like a parable to me.
32:00He came right after he told us to move mountains based on a fig tree he cursed to represent the temple.
32:08Fair point.
32:09I also agree with Matthew.
32:13And with Thomas.
32:15Tridus, my views and Thomas' are not the same.
32:17But they are connected.
32:18I don't get it.
32:19You sure don't.
32:20Shh, enough.
32:21Both of you.
32:25Explain.
32:27Hear me out.
32:28Suppose Thomas is right.
32:35The prediction is literal.
32:39And he is not only delivered up, but consequently crucified.
32:48And we have our answer.
32:49And we can go on looking for the real messiah.
32:55Judas?
32:56What are you saying?
32:57Matthew!
32:58With you!
32:58He's doing it!
32:59Big take!
33:00Hear me out.
33:00Listen.
33:01Listen.
33:01Stop!
33:01I'm listening to the walls that are coming out of your house.
33:04Boys!
33:05Stop it!
33:06Let him speak.
33:08Let him speak.
33:08Or, in a variation on Matthew's interpretation, we take him at his word, and it's literal, and
33:18he's delivered up.
33:19But, but, in that hour, because he's all-powerful, he evades death.
33:30With, with the almighty capabilities, we've witnessed him to possess.
33:37And that moment we have all waited for finally occurs.
33:42He'll strike down his enemies, and usher in the messianic age.
33:50I only like one of those outcomes.
33:52I did not say that I think that would happen.
33:54Judas is right.
33:55I could.
34:01I will not accept having wasted the past three years of my life.
34:07There is no way!
34:08What will you accept, Ze?
34:09Brothers, this is pointless.
34:10Pointless?
34:11Look, regardless.
34:12Little James, pointless!
34:13Regardless of what's going on.
34:15We have to be on the same page.
34:16It doesn't make sense if we're not.
34:18Metaphor, no matter.
34:18This is our lives!
34:19Three years!
34:20We need to figure this out!
34:21We are all here.
34:22What do we do?
34:23We're trying to find the truth!
34:24So then, little James, we're trying to find the truth!
34:25Leave me around!
34:47Let me see!
34:52Let me see!
37:58You prayed today in the assembly that God should send us help, aid,
38:02and answers that we so desperately seek.
38:06Yes.
38:08I believe your prayer, our prayer, may have been answered.
38:15May have?
38:16I know someone who, with almost complete certainty,
38:20would be able to give us the whereabouts of Jesus, an asset, if you will.
38:25What are you waiting for?
38:29Send and have this asset,
38:32this answer to our prayers, brought to me at once.
38:51Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary.
38:53Listen carefully, Mary of Magdala.
38:56This is not an assault.
38:57As long as you don't fight, you will not be harmed.
39:00Just trust me.
39:01Are you what you want?
39:02Ruben!
39:03Help! Somebody help me!
39:04No, no, no, no, please don't.
39:05We are here to help you.
39:07We are here to help.
39:08He told me it would be difficult, so I had to prepare with help.
39:11Who is he?
39:12What is this?
39:13I cannot tell you anything more, but you will soon have answers.
39:27Would you agree things are getting quite tense and dangerous in the city at the moment?
39:31No one wants to make this any worse than it needs to be.
39:37Now I'm going to put this over your head and put you in that car.
39:40I know it's scary, but it is for everyone's safety, including yours.
39:45Please, do not resist.
39:48Do you understand?
39:49I'm sorry about this.
39:54There is one other thing, Your Honor.
40:08Obtaining the information from the asset may require some...
40:33I think we can handle that.
40:59Malchus.
41:03They're here, Your Honor.
41:28They're here, Your Honor.
41:33They're here, Your Honor.
41:38Oh, my God.
42:08Where am I?
42:13What is going on?
42:14You are not in danger.
42:16Please, follow me.
42:17Please.
42:18You are trying to be polite.
42:22I promise you, I am not your enemy.
42:32Judas Iscariot.
42:34Please, come in.
42:38She is here, sir.
42:56I am not your enemy.
43:26The bed I made
43:44Made up of stone
43:49The ones who lay
43:55They ride along
44:00Getting low don't get you high
44:07But you've become the house of life
44:12I'm here again, thought I'd win
44:16Here again, where I've been
44:19Say what I've said and done
44:22Let me lie to what I've done
44:25Here again, one more round
44:28Pull me in, pull me down
44:31Say it all, these troubles never end
44:35And I'm back here again
44:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
44:44I'm back here again
44:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
44:55Seems every day
45:03Never end
45:09Ran a hundred miles
45:15To be here again
45:20Moving on
45:25Don't get you by
45:27Can't look truth in the eye
45:32I'm here again
45:34Thought I'd win
45:36Here again, where I've been
45:39Say what I've said and done
45:42Let me lie to what I've done
45:45Here again, one more round
45:48Pull me in, pull me down
45:51I said, oh, these troubles never end
45:55And I'm back here again
45:57And I'm back here again
45:58Oh, oh, oh, oh
46:01And I'm back here again
46:10Oh, oh, oh, oh
46:14Oh, I'm back here again
46:20Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, I'm back here
46:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
