00:30What is that supposed to mean?
00:40Well, who is and who isn't?
00:46I have earnestly desired to eat this meal with you before I suffer.
00:51This is our last Passover together on this earth before we celebrate it again when all is fulfilled in the new kingdom.
01:00I would ask how long that will be.
01:07But I know the answer.
01:09You will understand.
01:10But first...
01:12Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.
01:33Amen.
01:34Amen.
01:34Normally, this bread is to remember and celebrate our redemption from Egypt into the Promised Land.
01:56From slavery into freedom.
02:02Tonight, we celebrate your redemption from sin because of me.
02:08Take and eat it.
02:19This is my body, which is given for you.
02:25Do this in remembrance of me.
02:28Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
02:53Amen.
02:54Amen.
02:55Amen.
02:59Normally, the wine allows us to remember and celebrate the blood of the Lamb spread on the doorposts of our ancestors.
03:06But tonight, likewise, this is my blood of the new covenant, shed for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins.
03:24Drink it, all of you, in remembrance of me.
03:29Amen.
03:29Amen.
03:29Amen.
03:29Amen.
03:29Amen.
03:29Amen.
03:29Amen.
03:30Amen.
03:31Amen.
03:32Amen.
03:33Amen.
03:34Amen.
03:35Amen.
03:36Amen.
03:36I am the true vine, and my father is the vine dresser.
03:55Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away.
04:01And every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes, that it may not bear fruit.
04:06Let me bear more fruit, abide in me, and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
04:24Whoever abides in me, and I in him, whoever abides in me, and I in him, he it is, that bears much fruit.
04:38For apart from me, you can do nothing.
04:43If you abide in me, if you abide in me, if you abide in me, and my words in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done.
05:07By this, by this, my father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
05:19As the father has loved me, so I have loved you.
05:27Abide in my love.
05:28These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
05:50Rabbi, what are you smiling at?
06:12What are you smiling at?
06:21It's nothing, no.
06:23It's just the tale.
06:33Rabbi.
06:34Rabbi.
06:34Rabbi.
06:34Rabbi.
06:34Rabbi.
06:34Rabbi.
06:34Rabbi.
06:35Rabbi.
06:35Rabbi.
06:36Rabbi.
06:37Rabbi.
06:38Rabbi.
06:39Rabbi.
06:40Rabbi.
06:41Rabbi.
06:43Earlier, I may have washed some of your feet, but not all of you are clean.
06:54What are you saying?
06:59The scripture has now been fulfilled.
07:04He who has eaten my bread has lifted his heel against me.
07:10What?
07:15Truly I say to you,
07:20one of you will betray me.
07:24Someone at this very table.
07:27Someone in this room?
07:31Who?
07:35One of you brothers?
07:38Who?
07:40Tell us who and we will bind him and gag him and throw him in a pit so he can't do it.
07:50The Son of Man goes as it is written of him.
07:55But woe to that man by whom the Son of Man has betrayed.
08:00It would have been better for him if he had never been born.
08:04Just say who it is
08:07And we'll make sure that
08:10man wishes he'd never been born.
08:12I need a moment.
08:13I need a moment.
08:14I need a moment.
08:15I need a moment.
08:16I need a moment.
08:17I need a moment.
08:19I need a moment.
08:20I need a moment.
08:22I need a moment.
08:23I need a moment.
08:27I need a moment.
08:28I need a moment.
08:29a moment.
08:30I need a moment.
08:31I need a moment.
08:32I need a moment.
08:35What's happening?
08:52What?
08:53Andrew.
08:54Oh, child, come on in, jump in the water.
09:21Got no trouble with a mess you've been.
09:24Walk on the water.
09:28Ooh.
09:30Walk on the water.
09:36Walk on the water.
09:39Oh, child.
09:42Walk on the water.
09:45Got no trouble.
09:47Walk on the water.
09:50Walk on the water.
09:53Walk on the water.
09:57And according to our treasurer report, the additional days needed to complete the columns in that section of Solomon's Porch will result in a 14% increase over the original cost estimate.
10:14The Temple Renovation Committee unanimously approved the spending, although I'm sure to the surprise of none of you, Rabban Ozem required some convincing.
10:27All right, all right.
10:28From what I understand, there is no additional business for today.
10:32This meeting is adjourned.
10:37Rabbi Nicodemus, welcome back.
10:42I trust your time was fruitful.
10:44Oh, yes, yes.
10:45Good to be back, Ozem.
10:47Did the students in Bethel show enough appreciation for the teacher of teachers?
10:54Yes, they were lovely, but I'm sure they were glad to be rid of me.
11:00I'll see you in the morning for the committee meeting, yes?
11:04Yes.
11:05Yes, of course.
11:07It should be well.
11:14Rabbi Nicodemus, welcome back.
11:17It's good to be back.
11:19I understand congratulations are in order.
11:22I'm sorry I wasn't here to officially welcome you.
11:26I'm honored to be part of it.
11:28Yes, well.
11:31Shalom, shalom.
11:36Shalom, shalom.
11:37Shalom, shalom.
11:38I'll fill your quarters in less than an hour, Rabbi Nicodemus.
11:41I have to stop by the Education and Labor Committee meeting first.
11:44I'll talk to you soon.
11:45Yes.
11:49And it's good to see you again.
11:52Good to see you.
11:57The vote to approve the Sabbath law adjustment proposal was actually less contentious than I expected.
12:02You would have been surprised at the cooperation of some of our Sejucian friends, even Gidera.
12:13Let me see.
12:14What else?
12:15Just a highlight, Sepadai?
12:17Understood.
12:19Agricultural and Food Committee are still working on their Jatapata analysis.
12:23The Ritual Purity Committee has decided that...
12:26All right.
12:27You don't need an update on that.
12:28Let me see.
12:30Um.
12:32Oh.
12:33I will say, I saw you talking to Shmuel today.
12:36His inauguration day was quite something.
12:38Hmm.
12:39Shmai gave the welcome speech, and you really sang his praises, giving him credit for some of the events leading to the death of the Baptizer from Galilee.
12:48Now, President Shmuel raised a ruckus about that whole business.
12:52Death?
12:53Who?
12:54The Baptizer?
12:56John Barr Zechariah.
12:57You know, the one who Herod had in prison.
12:59Of course I know who he is.
13:00I encountered him directly in Capernaum.
13:04He's dead?
13:05Beheaded.
13:07By Herod's court.
13:08It was a whole sordid tale.
13:09You haven't heard?
13:11No.
13:12How did you encounter him?
13:14And did he call you a viper, too?
13:16No.
13:17No.
13:18Not quite.
13:19But he was certainly a character.
13:22I visited him in prison there.
13:25Beheaded?
13:27That was the story.
13:28He had a cousin in Capernaum.
13:31A teacher who was amassing a following, doing signs and wonders?
13:36Yes.
13:37Jesus Bar Joseph.
13:39You know the name?
13:40Yes.
13:41He was the focus of the larger discussion.
13:43Caiaphas ended up giving a whole speech about him.
13:45Caiaphas?
13:46How did this get to Caiaphas?
13:49He's a rabbi all the way in Capernaum.
13:52Your Bethel trip was too long, Rabbi.
13:55Jesus has been traveling all over.
13:57And these so-called signs and wonders you mentioned have bedeviled the people.
14:03He's the most popular messiah claimant in a while.
14:05Shmuel had a whole damning report about him.
14:08Caiaphas had issued an edict empowering district leaders to bring him in for questioning for false prophecy, blasphemy, a litany of charges.
14:16I can't believe you missed all this.
14:17You met him?
14:18That's all for today, Zebediah.
14:21Thank you for your report.
14:24I'll see you in the morning.
14:26Of course.
14:27Is everything all right?
14:28Yes, yes.
14:29It's just been a long day.
14:35Give Rebecca my regards.
14:37And you the same to Zahara.
14:39We'll have to have dinner soon.
14:41Yes, yes.
14:42I'll have Matthias set it up.
14:43Shalom, shalom.
14:44Shalom, shalom.
14:45Shalom.
14:48Matthias?
14:50Yes, Rabbi?
14:51I want you to drop everything you're doing and listen to me carefully.
14:54I have an assignment for you.
14:58Mary of Magdala.
15:01Have you been looking for me?
15:02Yes.
15:04Teacher, it's you.
15:05Please, keep your voice down.
15:08Not everyone in this house is awake.
15:10Why so secretive?
15:11Why didn't your men just tell me they were with you?
15:13I am so sorry, but we had no choice.
15:16I don't know what is in your head at the moment.
15:19How zealous you and the others are, and what you will say, and to whom.
15:23You've not been discreet lately, and I need to be.
15:26Discreet?
15:27You're in the Sanhedrin.
15:29Where is this place?
15:30This is my home, but you don't need to know where.
15:32This city is crawling with spies, agents, and informers.
15:35I don't know why you've been so difficult to reach.
15:37I've really needed your help.
15:40Where have you been?
15:41Mary, it is very dangerous what you are doing.
15:45You were wise not to ask for me by name, but it was clear to us what you were up to.
15:49Who is us?
15:50You've had spies.
15:52Not spies.
15:53Just keeping track.
15:55And your behavior could well have accelerated his demise.
15:59Accelerated?
16:00No, no.
16:01You're getting bad information.
16:02We've been on the run from the moment we arrived.
16:05Jesus has not passed up a single opportunity to make an enemy.
16:08I'm curious to know why you think that is.
16:11I'm sorry?
16:12Why is he doing this?
16:14Why is he systematically turning allies into enemies?
16:18You know him?
16:19You've seen him challenge authority before.
16:21He won't shrink just because...
16:22Mary, this is something more.
16:25I will read you his own words.
16:27How?
16:28My watchman was observing and taking notes.
16:31This from just two days ago, you know, when he upended the marketplace and the temple.
16:38Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
16:44For you are like whitewashed tombs, who outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and uncleanness.
16:54So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
17:04Doesn't exactly sound like an invitation to join him, does it?
17:08How long have you been tracking him?
17:11Long enough.
17:12I don't understand.
17:13You've seen us.
17:14You've been watching all of us?
17:17Tell me why I shouldn't be very uncomfortable with all of this.
17:21He was only doing what I asked him to do.
17:23I've not seen Jesus since Capernaum, but when news reached Jerusalem that he was claiming to be the Christ, I had to.
17:30You had to what, spy?
17:32Mary, I brought you here under duress, so I'm trying to be patient with your loose words.
17:38But you need to listen.
17:40I teach Torah and the foundations of our faith to students all over Israel.
17:46Please try to understand the immense responsibility for our people that I feel on my shoulders from Adonai himself.
17:55Every year, from every region, someone comes along claiming to be the Messiah and trying to sway our people and mislead them.
18:03Now, most of them are crushed for their false prophecy, and we never even hear of them.
18:08But when someone like Jesus achieves this level of influence over these many people, performing these kinds of signs and wonders, all the while claiming to be the Christ and asserting his authority over the law and leaders of our people, I have a sacred duty to prove him wrong.
18:30And what did you see?
18:33What did he report to you?
18:35You've met him yourself. I helped arrange it.
18:38I'm sure you saw who he is as well.
18:42What did he see?
18:45He saw the eyes of the blind opened, the ears of the deaf unstopped, the lame man leaping like a deer, and the tongue of the mutants.
18:59Sinking for joy.
19:01I say.
19:02The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light.
19:07Those that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
19:13I love that one.
19:14But you, O Bethlehem, too little to be among the clan of Judah.
19:18From you shall come forth for me.
19:21One who is to be...
19:22One who is to be ruler of Israel.
19:24One who's coming forth is from of old.
19:27From ancient days.
19:29You now know he is the one who fulfills these prophecies.
19:35I prayed he wouldn't.
19:37I needed him to be a fraud.
19:40But I've seen too much.
19:42I know the feeling.
19:44And you saw Lazarus.
19:48So why haven't you told this to the others?
19:54Why have you been absent?
19:56I've been told you've not been seen in Sanhedrin at all lately.
20:00Apart from my present condition, there is the question of trying to get anything done in the Sanhedrin, let alone the intricacies of money and politics and fear that guide most of them and govern their decisions.
20:14And when it comes to false prophecy, that is a wall I cannot climb.
20:21I've been looking for you because he needs your help.
20:24Why have you been wanting to talk to me if not to help?
20:27To warn you and for you to warn him that he's in danger.
20:32A message received.
20:35But for whatever reason, he's clearly not running from that danger.
20:40So now I'm asking you to help eliminate it.
20:46Your wisdom and strength led you to pursue Jesus in Capernaum when your colleagues wouldn't have ever considered it.
20:53I don't know what happened after that that's between you and him, but I know you know the truth.
21:02And I'm asking you to do anything you can.
21:07Mary, please, straight away.
21:11Please!
21:15Please.
21:16Nicodemus, there is something else I wanted to say to you.
21:41For what?
21:42For trying.
21:43That day the Romans brought you to my place in the Red Quarter.
21:45It must have been very uncomfortable for you.
21:46And scary for anyone.
21:47I'm so grateful you at least made the attempt.
21:49I should have told you that the day we spoke in the market.
21:50And I know coming to the Red Quarter didn't initially turn out the way you had hoped.
21:57But...
21:58Look...
21:59What it led to...
22:00What it led to...
22:02You're welcome.
22:03But I had nothing to do with who you are today.
22:07Your change is just as convincing as the prophecies of who we are today.
22:08You're welcome.
22:09But I had nothing to do with who you are today.
22:14Your change is just as convincing as the prophecies of who he is.
22:21I don't know what else I can do, but I will search Torah.
22:22Perhaps the scriptures will reveal to us what is in store for him.
22:51Nicotemus?
22:52Zohara.
22:53I'm sorry.
22:54I didn't mean to disturb you.
22:55Niko.
22:56You don't have to speak loudly for me to be stared by your spirit.
23:12Like I have been for months.
23:14I've been studying in earnest.
23:16There are things about my position that...
23:18Come in here.
23:19Zohara, you don't understand...
23:20Come.
23:31I have been with you for 60 years.
23:34Don't try to educate me on your position as though I'm the teenager I was when we married.
23:40You can prepare for your lectures and your sleep.
23:43You don't need this level of research.
23:45You haven't finished a meal in weeks without abandoning the table.
23:49And me.
23:50And me.
23:51For these scrolls.
23:52You're losing weight.
23:54You can barely hold yourself up since Matthias burst in a week ago, whispering frantically.
24:00I am not deaf and blind, Niko.
24:01We have to talk.
24:02We will.
24:03I...
24:04I...
24:05I just...
24:06can't...
24:07yet.
24:08I'm sorry.
24:09Please, sit down.
24:10Can we serve you something to do?
24:12We are not the same.
24:14I don't know what Shmuel has told you, but you should know now that you and I are not the same.
24:27That's certainly the case.
24:28I'm the anointed High Priest of Israel who represents the nation before God, the only human on earth allowed to enter the Holy of Holies.
24:32And you, on the other hand, are...
24:33Helping to save your people.
24:34I assure you, I've not been brought here under false pretenses.
24:38I can deliver him to you, but you must know something.
24:39I do believe that Jesus is the only what이에요 is.
24:40It cannot impact anybody else.
24:41I can't.
24:42Now you can drought into the people.
24:43Then you are being gathered forever in Jesus.
24:44The only people managed on earth allowed to enter the holy of holies.
24:46And...
24:47You, on the other hand, are brutal...
24:48How long are you esas hal-in?
24:49How long are you?
24:50Arm.
24:51His mother is coming into the sacred ofiri.
24:52Re醉 won a great gymnast.
24:53And you, on the other hand are...
24:54Two sight Those are born of Israel.
24:55That's quite simple.
24:56They're not the only human on earth allowed to enter the holy of holies.
24:58And you, on the other hand, make America, it's optional.
25:01About everyone.
25:03You've got to follow your people.
25:04I know something.
25:06I do believe that Jesus is most likely the Messiah.
25:10Why?
25:12Why what?
25:14Why do you believe that?
25:18I've seen too much.
25:20Then why are you doing this?
25:26I suppose I have not seen enough.
25:30Hence the...
25:32Most likely.
25:34Hopefully, we'll get to see it this week.
25:36If, when you take him into custody,
25:38he effortlessly destroys his captors,
25:40leads us to victory over Rome,
25:42and takes his rightful place
25:44on the throne of David,
25:46then I'll be celebrating with the rest of our people.
25:50You are...
25:52utterly out of your depth.
25:54I disagree.
25:56Marcus, Shmuel,
25:58will you give us room?
26:02I do not appreciate being spoken to in such a manner, young man.
26:10Well, if you change your mind about needing his whereabouts,
26:14just let me know.
26:16Sit down!
26:18We are not finished.
26:30This isn't complicated, your honor.
26:32You need information.
26:34And I am the only one capable and willing to give it to you.
26:44All we have to agree on is a price.
26:4620 pieces of silver.
26:58Don't insult me.
27:0040.
27:0225.
27:0438.
27:0630 pieces of silver.
27:10Final offer.
27:12The equivalent of four months' wages.
27:16That is the price of a slave.
27:20And I will not live like one while I'm looking for a new job.
27:2635.
27:2830 pieces of silver is my final offer,
27:32and a slave is about what Jesus is worth to me now.
27:36You have no leverage, Judas.
27:38I'm your only buyer.
27:40And I'm your only seller.
27:44The Temple Guard have sophisticated methods of extracting information.
27:52If you'd like.
27:54Or you can just take the money.
27:56Or you can just take the money.
28:06I have one condition.
28:07I'm listening.
28:08I will provide an opportunity for you to arrest him,
28:11only in the absence of a crowd.
28:16He is more powerful than you, and you know it.
28:18The people will riot.
28:20If we do this stealthily,
28:22we can avoid an uprising,
28:25retribution from Rome.
28:28And a ruined Passover holiday.
28:30I thought you said if he's arrested,
28:32he'll use his divine powers to strike down his adversaries.
28:37Could be the best Passover of all, wouldn't it?
28:40If he is who he says he is.
28:44If he's not...
28:4930 pieces of silver will be of no use to me
28:52when Pilate brutalizes us for disturbing the peace.
28:54and inciting a revolt.
28:56I have a condition as well.
29:01You have 24 hours to deliver him over to us.
29:07Time is of the essence.
29:1124 hours.
29:12You're an only son.
29:13I'm sorry?
29:14You're an only son of an only son, and he's passed away.
29:16I've given all your information, Judas.
29:17You're the last of the Iscariots.
29:18Yes?
29:19Unless you survive all this and have a son,
29:20this could be your best chance for you to be alive.
29:21You're the last of the Iscariots.
29:22Yes?
29:23Unless you survive all this and have a son,
29:25this could be your best chance for you to be alive.
29:27For your family name to be remembered.
29:28Don't look so downtrodden.
29:29This is an opportunity.
29:30Don't look so downtrodden.
29:31This is an opportunity.
29:32Now, go.
29:33Deliver on your promise.
29:35You're the last of the Iscariots.
29:40Yes?
29:41Unless you survive all this and have a son,
29:45this could be your best chance for your family name to be remembered.
29:51Don't look so downtrodden.
29:53This is an opportunity.
29:55Now, go.
29:58Deliver on your promise.
30:25You have no right to hold me here without explanation.
30:28What crimes have I committed?
30:30I have the right to speak to my legal representative.
30:32My friend, those rights are granted to citizens of the Roman Empire,
30:37of which you decidedly are not.
30:42Who are you?
30:44The one asking the questions.
30:55You arrived from the North three days ago,
31:02bringing with you a small militia of malcontents.
31:08You have since grown in numbers amassed weapons,
31:13sharpened resentments,
31:15and convened a veritable serpent's den of aggressors
31:18who remind me of zealots
31:20but lack sophistication and training.
31:23The zealots, you know, they're a pain.
31:27But they have a precision
31:29and a clarity of purpose
31:31that makes them in some ways predictable.
31:33They at least know what they're doing,
31:35and therefore so do we.
31:38But you are not precise.
31:40You are reckless and messy and disorganized.
31:45It was all too easy to find you out,
31:48to get in here and put you in that chair.
31:51So, it's my understanding the Jews have made a pilgrimage to this city
31:56to observe a solemn holiday of remembrance.
32:00Hmm?
32:01I might be getting that wrong.
32:04But from what I can tell,
32:06there's only one person acting up around here this week,
32:10someone about whom so many people have such intense feelings and opinions,
32:16both good and bad.
32:18He's the only figure at the moment
32:21toward whom a man like you
32:24could stir up so much animosity.
32:27Tell me something, Kaffney.
32:29I, you.
32:33Everybody's got an opinion about Jesus.
32:36So, what about yours led to all this?
32:44You're not a holy man.
32:46Lachis be praised.
32:50You own land and wine country.
32:55He killed my daughter.
32:58If Jesus the Nazarene had committed murder,
33:00believe me, I'd know about it.
33:03How?
33:04You're not God.
33:05Let's leave God out of this.
33:07Honestly, I find the topic exhausting.
33:09What more do you want to know?
33:14All right.
33:16I'll bite. Fine.
33:17How'd he kill your daughter?
33:18He seduced her.
33:19He really doesn't strike me as the romantic type.
33:20Not romantically.
33:22Spiritually.
33:23For the God's sake.
33:24What did I just say about God?
33:27He performed a magic trick at a wedding
33:31that made her so grateful and awed and entranced
33:36that she became more loyal to him than me.
33:39Hades and Styx.
33:40That's the pettiest thing I've ever heard.
33:42She left a promising career as a wine vintner
33:45to join his pathetic roving band
33:48wayfaring around the upper Galilee
33:51whipping crowds into frenzies over his teachings
33:55and sorceries.
33:56Until...
34:00Until one of those crowds
34:05devolved into a stampede
34:08and she was run through with a sword.
34:10By whom?
34:12The Roman praetor of Capernaum.
34:18Uh-huh.
34:20So a Roman praetor killed your daughter, not Jesus.
34:22You are dissembling, Kaffney.
34:24She would never have been near Capernaum
34:26or anything resembling that situation
34:28if not for him.
34:30And he has not been held accountable.
34:32She had free will, didn't she?
34:33No one was forcing her to travel around with this Jesus, were they?
34:36One of Jesus' other followers,
34:38a former employee of mine,
34:40beguiled her with his youthful charm
34:43and lured her into the notion of marriage without my consent.
34:46I thought it didn't work that way with you people.
34:48There are loopholes.
34:51The law is complicated.
34:52Did your daughter ever say anything to you about avenging her death
34:55if something were to happen to her?
34:56It's what any father would do.
34:58Why haven't you attempted vengeance against the Roman praetor?
35:00He was fired and sent away.
35:02Hanged for all I know.
35:08Why are you looking at me like that?
35:10Oh, I don't know.
35:12Seems like you're under the impression
35:13that you could have done something more to prevent this.
35:17To protect your daughter, to save her.
35:20And instead of facing your guilt like a man,
35:23or dealing with your grief,
35:25you've decided to look for someone to blame.
35:27You don't know me.
35:29You don't know what's in my heart.
35:31You can't get directly to the praetor who did the deed,
35:33so now you've moved on to, frankly, an easy target.
35:38He's not an easy target.
35:42Let's find out.
35:43What?
35:44I don't have any children.
35:45But the way you've decided to make your daughter's untimely death
35:48all about yourself repulses me.
35:53However, your murderous commitment
35:57to alleviating your guilty conscience may prove useful
36:02to my purposes.
36:05What purposes?
36:08I have a proposal for you, Kaffney.
36:11Instead of arresting you for unlawful assembly,
36:15possession of illegal weapons, incitement to violence,
36:18conspiracy to commit murder, and possibly insurrection,
36:21to name only a few,
36:23I will supply you with information regarding Jesus' whereabouts.
36:29What has he done to you?
36:30Pay attention, please.
36:32The only thing that's required to keep you out of jail,
36:35or worse,
36:37is that you continue to spread your venom to anyone who listen.
36:42Let me explain this to you in a way you might understand.
36:45Keep doing what you're doing.
36:49Try to turn the tide of public opinion against Jesus,
36:53and quid pro quo.
36:55Right.
36:56In exchange,
37:00I'll keep holes out of your hands and feet.
37:05Holes.
37:06We're finished here.
37:10We're finished here.
37:14So what now?
37:15Now?
37:18We wait.
37:19For what?
37:20For the light of day.
37:21For the light of day.
37:23For the light of day.
37:25For the light of day.
37:26Let's do it.
37:27For the light of day.
37:28For the light of day.
37:29For the light of day.
37:30Hmm.
38:00The people who walk the darkness have seen the great light.
38:30Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
38:47Thank you for that.
39:00Tova begins in eight hours.
39:10One last thorough search.
39:12There cannot be even a single speck of leaven anywhere in the house.
39:17Tova, I want you to boil water and fire up the ovens to heat the surfaces of the kitchen and kill any remaining hametz.
39:24Yes, Marcus.
39:25Then, Shechem Hala, I want you to look for the crumbs under every cushion.
39:29Search every pocket of every robe in the closet.
39:32Pour boiling water over every platter, cup, utensil, dish, or a knife that has even come close to a piece of bread in the last year.
39:41Governor, can I help you, sir?
39:46What do you intend to do with Jesus of Nazareth?
39:50The hug's a mare to you too, Pontius.
39:53I don't observe this holiday.
39:54No kidding.
39:55I am maintaining my side of this arrangement, Caiaphas.
39:58I've made plans to make an example of a zealot.
40:01Now tell me what you're doing to maintain yours.
40:02Oh, zealots are wonderful.
40:04That should be well received on both sides because both your people and our people hate zealots.
40:12They bring down your wrath on the common people.
40:15They make things worse for everyone.
40:18Don't change the subject.
40:19Your people hate zealots and they don't hate Jesus.
40:22I won't argue with that.
40:25But this city has a messianic fever and I need to bring the temperature down.
40:31Well, we agree there in the broadest sense we always have.
40:35I too want a lower temperature.
40:37Ah, well, there are some families of massacred Jews who might take issue with that.
40:44And neither of us wants a repeat.
40:46I want peace just like you.
40:49I just don't like what I'm hearing about your methods.
40:52What have you heard?
40:54Don't insult me.
40:55So you've been spying on us.
40:57You're not Roman citizens.
40:59You have no right to privacy.
41:01Exactly.
41:03You're not one of us.
41:04You don't believe in our God.
41:06Therefore, you cannot begin to know what's best for us.
41:11There are layers to this.
41:14You do not comprehend thousands of years of theology, tradition, and law.
41:21If you know what's best for the Jewish people, then why does Jerusalem have a fever?
41:25You asked me what I plan to do to maintain my side of our arrangement.
41:30And yet, you already know.
41:33Why the intrusion?
41:35You just wanted to hear me say it out loud?
41:39Wipe that smug look off your face.
41:42You've grown too comfortable with our arrangement.
41:45So much so that you think you deserve the special treatment the Empire has come to give you over the years.
41:52You're God's chosen people.
41:54Why should we expect anything less?
41:56It's galling and confounding to everyone I know in Rome.
42:02Even our Stoic philosopher Seneca has wondered aloud, to my humiliation,
42:07how in Jerusalem the vanquished have given laws to the victors.
42:12Well, not anymore!
42:14Let me say to you plain and simple, Caiaphas.
42:24If you go through with this, and tensions rise as a result,
42:30our alliance is over.
42:40Shut up!
42:44This is oppression.
42:52We are devout men, yes.
42:54But we work hard, and we pay our tribute.
42:58This is an outrage!
43:00Sorry about the mix-up.
43:01Tahu shalib.
43:02It was our mistake.
43:03Shalom shalom.
43:05Move out!
43:07Tahu!
43:14Swords.
43:15You going?
43:16Yes, sir.
43:17Up!
43:30Up!
43:31For the Lord God is a sun and shield.
43:57The Lord bestows favor and honor.
44:05No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.
44:14Adonai has blessed and anointed our cause.
44:20And as David wrote, when he feigned madness to evade the king of Gath,
44:24when the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all of their trouble.
44:30It's a sign!
44:30From the prophet Jeremiah.
44:33Great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.
44:38Your eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man,
44:43rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
44:51Job, at his lowest, cried out to Adonai,
44:55I know that you can do all things and that no purpose of yours shall be thwarted.
45:02You make a deal with the enemies of our people and our God and call it divine purpose?
45:09If you'll excuse me, brothers.
45:26For just a moment.
45:28What are you doing?
45:34I am leaving, Hophni.
45:35Why?
45:36Because it is the right thing to do.
45:39Leaving Jerusalem hours before Passover?
45:42Using the holy scriptures to delude and justify yourself? It's pathetic.
45:46You will not speak to me in that tone.
45:47Or what?
45:49Nothing more can hurt me.
45:51My daughter is dead.
45:55My husband is a shadow.
45:57And we are in league with Rome.
45:59It was a Roman blade.
46:01Yes.
46:02But she was only there.
46:04Follow her, Rabbi.
46:05He bewitched her.
46:06Love is not a spell, Hophni.
46:10Her love for her Rabbi and for her future husband were real.
46:16Thomas was never worthy.
46:17That is rich coming from you at this moment.
46:20You're not leaving.
46:22I can't have Jesus taking both my daughter and my wife from me.
46:27If you think that this may soften my resolve, you are mistaken.
46:35I love you, Hophni.
46:37And I serve God and his laws.
46:39Which is why I pray that he will forgive me that I cannot stand by and watch what hate and guilt have turned you into.
46:47I love you, Hophni.
46:48I love you, Hophni.
46:49I love you, Hophni.
46:50I love you, Hophni.
46:51I love you, Hophni.
46:52I love you, Hophni.
46:53I love you, Hophni.
46:54I love you, Hophni.
46:55I love you, Hophni.
46:56I love you, Hophni.
46:57I love you, Hophni.
46:58I love you, Hophni.
46:59I love you, Hophni.
47:00I love you, Hophni.
47:01I love you, Hophni.
47:02I love you, Hophni.
47:03I love you, Hophni.
47:04I love you, Hophni.
47:05I love you, Hophni.
47:06I love you, Hophni.
47:07I love you, Hophni.
47:08I love you, Hophni.
47:09Hello, Simon.
47:26We're not doing another chase and evade.
47:28Good?
47:29Let's talk now.
47:30Man to man?
47:34You know what this building is?
47:36A prison.
47:37Mm-hmm.
47:38What was that back there?
47:40I know, Caffney.
47:42It wasn't your mistake detaining him.
47:44So tell me what's going on.
47:45I'm well aware of what it cost you to leave your old order and to follow Jesus.
47:49That level of dedication could have gotten you killed.
47:52It may yet.
47:52I hear no lies.
47:55Jesus is in real danger.
47:58I don't have to tell you that.
48:00No jail could hold the Messiah.
48:04No prison bars or shackles could contain him.
48:07Oh, you think I came here as some sort of a stunt?
48:13Have a little chat with you about the seriousness of your situation?
48:16Come on, Z.
48:17That'd be a big old waste of my time.
48:19I came here to question a zealot.
48:21Yeah, a murderer.
48:24Who is being transferred into this prison right about...
48:27Kronos be praised.
48:33Right on time.
48:34Oh, you know him?
48:53Old friend.
48:57Well, your pal is scheduled for execution in about 28 hours, give or take.
49:07A day and then some.
49:08Barabbas came to find me when I left the order.
49:12And you both survived?
49:14Somebody didn't do his job.
49:15We spoke.
49:16That's not what they sent him to do.
49:17He saw things.
49:19Things that should have compelled him to leave the order and believe.
49:24You think you could have saved him?
49:25I didn't say that.
49:26He could have saved himself.
49:28If only he'd opened his eyes and heart.
49:30Well, he did not open his eyes.
49:32Don't know about his heart.
49:33Don't care.
49:33Because now he's got to pay up consequences.
49:37Simon, I think you're about to find that out.
49:40I said no jail could contain him.
49:45Touchy.
49:47Fine.
49:48So maybe your messiah won't be jailed.
49:51But what about your friends?
49:53Hmm?
49:54One of them has already died.
49:57You know what?
50:04I'm just going to leave those there.
50:06In case you think you need to be ready.
50:13Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.
50:23Buona fortuna.
50:25Simon Zee.
50:28Today, the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
50:57He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
51:03Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.
51:10I and the Father are one.
51:17Ah, he was despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrow acquainted with grief.
51:26Ha!
51:28Do not think I come to abolish the law or the prophets.
51:31I do not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
51:39Rabbah!
51:40Oh!
51:41Yusuf!
51:42I am sorry to disturb you.
51:45Your scriptures already disturb me.
51:47With all respect, I bring news that might make it worse.
51:51What?
51:52The facts are not fully confirmed, but my confidants are not given to exaggeration or inference without solid evidence.
52:00Don't withhold, young man.
52:01Say it.
52:02Caiaphas is making plans to arrest Jesus.
52:07Oh, impossible.
52:09He doesn't have the authority.
52:11And according to my reconnaissance, no one is certain where to find Jesus.
52:16There is talk of a collaborator.
52:19A traitor?
52:20From within the ranks of his own followers.
52:22Who among them could be capable of such a thing?
52:25I don't know what Matthias has told you, but not all of the followers are in agreement on how they view Jesus.
52:31I have witnessed dissent between them at the house of Lazarus.
52:34Even if one of them betrayed his whereabouts at this very moment, the Sanhedrin would still have to convene for a trial.
52:41And it is illegal for a capital offense to be tried on the day of preparation for the High Holy Day.
52:48Passover is in less than seven hours.
52:51Ha!
52:52Caiaphas's hands are tied!
52:53I assure you they're not, or rather they are, to his father-in-law.
52:59Anos.
53:02He's been deposed before, we can depose him again.
53:05If he's the one behind all of this, which I suppose he is.
53:09We?
53:10It's a naked violation of the law and tradition.
53:14Most of the judges don't even like Anos.
53:17You said we.
53:18Hmm?
53:19Will you join me and Shimon and the Centrist in denouncing Caiaphas's brazen infractions?
53:23Where would I even do that?
53:25Most of the administrative meeting spaces in the temple are closed for Passover.
53:30Nicodemus, you know Caiaphas has no scruples.
53:33My informers say they will call an emergency meeting overnight.
53:36Tonight.
53:37Citing an obscure loophole authorization from the Sefer HaMakabin during times of national crisis.
53:43Which is not a natural crisis.
53:46He is, insofar as they rightly perceive him, to be a threat to this current corrupt Israeli hierarchy which he's poised to dismantle.
53:56They're not all corrupt, but they are all scared.
53:58Of course they are.
53:59If I may be so bold.
54:01You are too harsh on your brethren, Rabban.
54:04They are mostly good men.
54:06Dedicated to their faith.
54:08Devoted to preserving our traditions and Torah.
54:11They just weren't ready for Jesus.
54:14I don't think anyone was.
54:16Present company included.
54:18Me or you?
54:20Both.
54:22Sunset to sunset has not passed and somehow, I've twice been accused of misunderstanding Jesus of Nazareth.
54:31So you do?
54:32Do what?
54:33Understand Jesus.
54:35I'm getting there.
54:39So what's next?
54:40How can we solve this?
54:41Both you and Mary need to understand.
54:43The die is cast.
54:46My status is irrelevant.
54:48This requires a level of dexterity that neither of you have been forced to implement.
54:53It's not something I can solve with stern words and back room somewhere.
54:59If you or I disclose our allegiance, now or ever, we will be shut out of all discussions altogether.
55:07Mary?
55:08His follower?
55:09I sent for her.
55:10She was searching for me, but recklessly.
55:12She could have quickened the disaster that is so rapidly unfolding.
55:16She was looking for help anywhere she can find it.
55:18I said recklessly.
55:19And you cared enough about that to bring her in.
55:22Why?
55:23If you're so resigned to the fate of Jesus.
55:25To save her and the others.
55:26From what?
55:27From what could happen next?
55:29I can't stop the Sanhedrin's attempts, but I can at least warn Jesus and his followers.
55:34Rabbi Nicodemus, please hear me.
55:39You are right.
55:42Neither I nor Mary have the wisdom or experience you have.
55:48But we are willing to do anything.
55:52You say we will be shut out of all discussions if we reveal ourselves.
55:57I will follow your lead on that.
56:00But surely, we can be part of the discussion tonight.
56:04I am studying the scriptures and Jesus' statements for clues as to what can happen next.
56:12Or what he has in store.
56:15It's a mystery.
56:16I have no idea what might happen tonight.
56:21Let's find out.
56:51What is this?
56:52What is this?
56:53This is how many blocks we have?
56:54Oh!
56:55Let's imagine the journey happens over half,
56:57Whatever deeds make for informing others.
57:01Such helps to convince others.
