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

54:59I can't stop the Sanhedrin's attempts, but I can at least warn Jesus and his followers.

55:42Or what he has in store.
