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.
00:22This 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.
01:23From Egypt into the promised land.
01:27From 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.
01:58Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
02:23Amen.
02:29Normally, 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.
02:59Amen.
03:00Amen.
03:01Amen.
03:02Amen.
03:03Amen.
03:04Amen.
03:05Amen.
03:06Amen.
03:06I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser.
03:25Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, He takes away.
03:31And every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes, that it may be the vine dresser.
03:36And if you have made 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.
03:54I am the vine, you are the branches.
04:02Whoever abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.
04:09For apart from me, you can do nothing.
04:14If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers.
04:20And the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
04:28If 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.
04:47As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.
04:57Abide in my love.
04:58These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
05:20Rabbi, what are you smiling at?
05:44It's nothing, I... It's just that, uh...
05:56Rabbi...
06:04Earlier, I may have washed some of your feet.
06:20But not all of you are clean.
06:23What are you saying?
06:28The scripture has now been fulfilled.
06:30He who has eaten my bread
06:36has lifted his heel against me.
06:41What?
06:46Truly, I say to you,
06:49one of you will betray me.
06:55Someone at this very table.
06:57Someone in this room?
06:58Who?
07:02Who?
07:06One of you brothers?
07:08Who?
07:10Tell us who,
07:12and we will bind him, and gag him, and throw him in the pit so he can't do it.
07:16The 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,
07:36and we'll make sure that
07:39man wishes he'd never been born.
07:42I need a moment.
07:58I need a moment.
07:58What's happening?
08:18What?
08:18Andrew.
08:18What? Andrew.
08:48In the water, got no trouble with a mess you've been
08:54Walk on 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
09:26And according to our treasurer report, the additional days needed to complete the columns in that section of Solomon's Porch
09:39will 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.
09:53All 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.
10:13Oh yes, yes. Good to be back Ozem.
10:17Did the students in Bethel show enough appreciation for the teacher of teachers?
10:23Yes, they were lovely, but I'm sure they were glad to be rid of me.
10:29I'll see you in the morning for the committee meeting, yes?
10:33Yes. Yes. Yes, of course.
10:40It should be well.
10:43Rabbi Nicodemus, welcome back.
10:45Thank you. It's good to be back.
10:47I understand congratulations are in order.
10:51I'm sorry I wasn't here to officially welcome you.
10:55I'm honored to be part of it. Thank you.
10:59Yes, well.
11:01Shalom, shalom.
11:06Shalom, shalom.
11:07I'll leave your quarters in less than an hour, Rabbi Nicodemus, so I have to stop by the education and labor committee meeting first.
11:13I'll talk to you soon.
11:14Yes.
11:18And it's good to see you again.
11:21Good to see you.
11:26The vote to approve the Sabbath law adjustment proposal was actually less contentious than I expected.
11:31You would have been surprised at the cooperation of some of our Sadducean friends, even Gidera.
11:37Gidera.
11:42Let me see what else.
11:44Just a highlight, Sepeda?
11:46Understood.
11:48Agricultural and Food Committee are still working on their Jatapata analysis.
11:53The Ritual Purity Committee has decided that...
11:56All right, you don't need an update on that. Let me see.
12:00Um...
12:01Ah!
12:02I will say, I saw you talking to Shmuel today. His inauguration day was quite something.
12:07Hmm.
12:08Shmai gave the welcome speech, and he really sang his praises, giving him credit for some of the events leading to the death of the Baptizer from Galilee.
12:17Now, President Shimon raised a ruckus about that whole business.
12:21Death? Of who?
12:23The Baptizer?
12:25John Bar Zechariah. You know, the one who Herod had in prison.
12:28Of course I know who he is. I encountered him directly in Capernaum.
12:33He's dead?
12:35Beheaded? By Herod's court? It was a whole sordid tale. You hadn't heard?
12:40No.
12:41How did you encounter him? And did he call you a viper, too?
12:46No, no, not quite. But he was certainly a character. I visited him in prison there.
12:55Beheaded?
12:56That was the story.
12:57He had a cousin in Capernaum. A teacher who was amassing a following, doing signs and wonders?
13:05Yes. Jesus Bar Joseph.
13:08You know the name?
13:09Yes. He was the focus of the larger discussion. Caiaphas ended up giving a whole speech about him.
13:15Caiaphas?
13:16How did this get to Caiaphas? He's a rabbi all the way in Capernaum.
13:21Your Bethel trip was too long, Rabbi. Jesus has been traveling all over, and these so-called signs and wonders you mentioned have bedeviled the people.
13:31He's the most popular messiah claimant in a while. Shmuel had a whole damning report about him. Caiaphas had issued an edict empowering district leaders to bring him in for questioning for false prophecy, blasphemy, and litany of charges. I can't believe you missed all this. You met him?
13:48That's all for today, Zebediah. Thank you for your report. I'll see you in the morning.
13:56Of course. Is everything all right?
13:58Yes. Yes. It's just been a long day.
14:01Okay.
14:05Give Rebecca my regards.
14:07And you the same to Zahara. We'll have to have dinner soon.
14:10Yes. Yes. I'll have Matthias set it up. Shalom, shalom, shalom, shalom.
14:18Matthias?
14:20Yes, Rabbi?
14:21I want you to drop everything you're doing and listen to me carefully. I have an assignment for you.
14:27Mary of Magdalar. Have you been looking for me?
14:32Yes. Teacher, it's you.
14:35Please, keep your voice down. Not everyone in this house is awake.
14:40Why so secretive? Why didn't your men just tell me they were with you?
14:43I am so sorry, but we had no choice. I don't know what is in your head at the moment. How zealous you and the others are, and what you will say, and to whom. You've not been discreet lately, and I need to be.
14:55Discreet, you're in the Sanhedrin. Where is this place?
14:59This is my home, but you don't need to know where. This city is crawling with spies, agents, and informers.
15:05I don't know why you've been so difficult to reach. I've really needed your help. Where have you been?
15:10Mary, it is very dangerous what you are doing. You were wise not to ask for me by name, but it was clear to us what you were up to.
15:19Who is us? You've had spies.
15:21Not spies, just keeping track. And your behavior could well have accelerated his demise.
15:28Accelerated? No, no. You're getting bad information. We've been on the run from the moment we arrived.
15:34Jesus has not passed up a single opportunity to make an enemy.
15:38I'm curious to know why you think that is.
15:41I'm sorry?
15:42Why is he doing this? Why is he systematically turning allies into enemies?
15:47You know him? You've seen him challenge authority before? He won't shrink just because...
15:52Mary, this is something more. I will read you his own words.
15:56How?
15:57My watchman was observing and taking notes. This from just two days ago, you know, when he upended the marketplace and the temple.
16:07Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, who outwardly appear 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 lawlessness. Doesn't exactly sound like an invitation to join him, does it?
16:38How long have you been tracking him?
16:40Long enough.
16:41I don't understand. You've seen us. You've been watching all of us? Tell me why I shouldn't be very uncomfortable with all of this.
16:51He was only doing what I asked him to do. I've not seen Jesus since Capernaum, but when news reached Jerusalem that he was claiming to be the Christ, I had to.
17:00You had to what, spy?
17:02Mary, I brought you here under duress, so I'm trying to be patient with your loose words. But you need to listen. I teach Torah and the foundations of our faith to students all over Israel.
17:16Please try to understand the immense responsibility for our people that I feel on my shoulders from Adonai himself.
17:25Every year, from every region, someone comes along claiming to be the Messiah and trying to sway our people and mislead them.
17:32Now, most of them are crushed for their false prophecy, and we never even hear of them.
17:37But 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,
17:53I have a sacred duty to prove him wrong.
18:00What did you see? What did he report to you? You've met him yourself. I helped arrange it. I'm sure you saw who he is as well. What did he see?
18:12What did he see? He 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 mutant singing for joy.
18:30I say.
18:32The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
18:42I love that one.
18:44But you, O Bethlehem, too little to be among the clan of Judah. From you shall come forth for me, one who is to be ruler of Israel.
18:53One who is coming forth is from a vault. From ancient days.
19:00Do you now know he is the one who fulfills these prophecies?
19:05I prayed he wouldn't. I needed him to be a fraud. But I have seen too much.
19:11I know the feeling. And you saw Lazarus.
19:16So why haven't you told this to the others? Why have you been absent? I've been told you've not been seen in Sanhedrin at all lately.
19:30Apart 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.
19:43And when it comes to false prophecy, that is a wall I cannot climb.
19:50I've been looking for you because he needs your help. Why have you been wanting to talk to me if not to help?
19:56To warn you and for you to warn him that he's in danger.
20:01A message received. But for whatever reason, he's clearly not running from that danger. So now I'm asking you.
20:12To help eliminate it. Your wisdom and strength led you to pursue Jesus in Capernaum when your colleagues wouldn't have ever considered it.
20:23I don't know what happened after that that's between you and him. But I know you know the truth.
20:32And I'm asking you to do anything you can.
20:37Mary. Please, straight away.
20:40Please.
20:44Please.
20:46Nicodemus.
21:05Nicodemus, there is something else I wanted to say to you.
21:13For what?
21:16For trying.
21:19That day the Romans brought you to my place in the Red Quarter.
21:24It must have been very uncomfortable for you.
21:27And scary for anyone.
21:30I'm so grateful you at least made the attempt.
21:35I should have told you that the day we spoke in the market.
21:40And I know coming to the Red Quarter didn't initially turn out the way you had hoped.
21:47But look what it led to.
21:55You're welcome.
21:58But I had nothing to do with who you are today.
22:01Your change is just as convincing as the prophecies of who he is.
22:07It is?
22:09I don't know what else I can do but I will search Torah.
22:13Perhaps the scriptures will reveal to us what is in store for him.
22:17Nicotemus?
22:19Zohara.
22:21I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you.
22:23Niko.
22:25You don't have to speak loudly for me to be stirred by your spirit.
22:27Like I have been for months.
22:28I've been studying in earnest.
22:29There are things about my position that...
22:30Come in here.
22:31Zohara, you don't understand.
22:32Come.
22:33Come.
22:34I have been with you for sixty years.
22:35Don't try to educate me.
22:36I didn't mean to disturb you.
22:37I didn't mean to disturb you.
22:38Niko.
22:39You don't have to speak loudly for me to be stirred by your spirit.
22:42Like I have been for months.
22:44I've been studying in earnest.
22:45There are things about my position that...
22:47Come in here.
22:48Zohara, you don't understand.
22:49Come.
23:01I have been with you for sixty years.
23:03Don't try to educate me on your position as though I'm the teenager I was when we married.
23:10You can prepare for your lectures in your sleep.
23:12You don't need this level of research.
23:14You haven't finished a meal in weeks without abandoning the table.
23:18And me.
23:20For these scrolls.
23:22You're losing weight.
23:23You can barely hold yourself up since Matthias burst in a week ago whispering frantically.
23:30I am not deaf and blind, Niko.
23:36We have to talk.
23:38We will.
23:39I...
23:42I just...
23:44Can't.
23:45Yet.
23:47I'm sorry.
23:54Please, sit down.
23:56Can we serve you something to do?
23:58We are not the same.
24:00I don't know what Shmuel has told you, but...
24:03You should know now.
24:05That you and I are not the same.
24:07That's certainly the case.
24:08I'm the anointed High Priest of Israel who represents the nation before God.
24:14The only human on earth allowed to enter the Holy of Holies.
24:18And...
24:20You, on the other hand, are...
24:22Helping to save your people.
24:24I assure you, I've not been brought here under false pretenses.
24:29I can deliver him to you.
24:32But you must know something.
24:35I do believe that Jesus is most likely the Messiah.
24:38Why?
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.
24:58Ah.
24:59Hence the...
25:01Most likely.
25:02Hopefully, we'll get to see it this week.
25:05If, when you take him into custody, he effortlessly destroys his captors.
25:10Leads us to victory over Rome.
25:12And takes his rightful place on the throne of David.
25:17Then I'll be celebrating with the rest of our people.
25:20You are...
25:22Utterly out of your depth.
25:24I disagree.
25:25Marcus.
25:26Samoel.
25:28Will you give us the room?
25:34I do not appreciate being spoken to in such a manner, young man.
25:41Well, if you change your mind about needing his whereabouts, just let me know.
25:45Sit down!
25:47We are not finished.
25:55This isn't complicated, your honor.
25:56You need information.
25:57And I am the only one capable and willing to give it to you.
26:13All we have to agree on is a price.
26:1520 pieces of silver.
26:16Don't insult me.
26:1740.
26:1825.
26:1938.
26:2030 pieces of silver.
26:2130 pieces of silver.
26:22Final offer.
26:23The equivalent of four months' wages.
26:24The equivalent of four months' wages.
26:25That is the price of a slave.
26:26The equivalent of four months' wages.
26:27That is the price of a slave.
26:28Don't insult me.
26:31Forty.
26:32Twenty-five.
26:33Thirty-eight.
26:38Thirty pieces of silver.
26:42Final offer.
26:44The equivalent of four months' wages.
26:50That is the price of a slave.
26:54And I will not live like one while I'm looking for a new job.
26:57Thirty-five.
26:58Thirty pieces of silver is my final offer,
27:03and a slave is about what 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 have sophisticated methods of extracting information.
27:23If you'd like.
27:26Or you can just take the money.
27:28I have one condition.
27:37I'm listening.
27:38I will provide an opportunity for you to arrest him only in the absence of a crowd.
27:44He is more powerful than you, and you know it.
27:49The people will riot.
27:50If we do this stealthily,
27:52we can avoid an uprising,
27:56retribution from Rome,
27:57and the ruined Passover holiday.
27:59I thought you said if he's arrested he'll use his divine powers to strike down his adversaries.
28:07Could be the best Passover of all, wouldn't it?
28:10If he is who he says he is.
28:12If he is who he says he is.
28:14If he's not...
28:19Thirty pieces of silver will be of no use to me when Pilate brutalizes us for disturbing the peace and inciting our revolt.
28:26I have a condition as well.
28:33You have 24 hours to deliver him over to us.
28:39Time is of the essence.
28:45Deal.
28:46Twenty-four hours.
28:52You're an only son.
28:55I'm sorry?
28:57You're an only son of an only son, and he's passed away.
29:02I've given all your information, Judas.
29:04You're the last of the Iscariots.
29:07Yes.
29:10Yes.
29:11Unless you survive all this and have a son,
29:15this could be your best chance for your family name to be remembered.
29:22Don't look so downtrodden.
29:23This is an opportunity.
29:27Now, go.
29:29Deliver on your promise.
29:37You have no right to hold me here without explanation.
29:58What crimes have I committed?
30:00I have the right to speak to my legal representative.
30:02My friend, those rights are granted to citizens of the Roman Empire.
30:07of which you decidedly are not.
30:12Who are you?
30:14The one asking the questions.
30:29You arrived from the north three days ago,
30:32bringing with you a small militia of malcontents.
30:38You have since grown in numbers, amassed weapons,
30:43sharpened resentments,
30:45and convened a veritable serpent's den of aggressors
30:48who remind me of zealots,
30:50but lack sophistication and training.
30:54The zealots, you know, they're a pain.
30:58But they have a precision
30:59and a clarity of purpose
31:01that makes them in some ways predictable.
31:04They at least know what they're doing,
31:06and 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 to find you out
31:18to get in here
31:19and put you in that chair.
31:21So, it's my understanding
31:22the Jews have made a pilgrimage to this city
31:25to observe a solemn holiday of remembrance.
31:30Hmm?
31:30I might be getting that wrong.
31:34But from what I can tell,
31:35there's only one person acting up around here this week.
31:40Someone about whom
31:41so many people have such intense feelings
31:45and opinions,
31:46both good and bad.
31:48He's the only figure at the moment
31:50toward whom a man like you
31:54could stir up so much animosity.
31:58Tell me something, Kaffney.
32:00I, you.
32:04Everybody's got an opinion about Jesus.
32:06So, what about yours led to all this?
32:13You're not a holy man.
32:18Acus be praised.
32:20You own land and wine country.
32:25He killed my daughter.
32:27If Jesus the Nazarene had committed murder,
32:30believe me, I'd know about it.
32:32How?
32:34You're not God.
32:35Let's leave God out of this.
32:37Honestly, I find the topic exhausting.
32:39What more do you want to know?
32:44All 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.
32:53Spiritually.
32:53For God's sake, what did I just say about God?
32:57He performed a magic trick at a wedding
33:01that made her so grateful and awed and entranced
33:06that she became more loyal to him than me.
33:09Hades and Styx.
33:11That's the pettiest thing I've ever heard.
33:12She left a promising career as a wine vintner
33:15to join his pathetic roving band
33:18wayfaring around the upper Galilee
33:21whipping crowds into frenzies
33:23over his teachings and sorceries.
33:27And...
33:28Until...
33:32Until one of those crowds
33:35devolved into a stampede
33:38and she was run through with a sword.
33:40By whom?
33:43The Roman praetor of Capernaum.
33:48Uh-huh.
33:50So a Roman praetor killed your daughter, not Jesus.
33:53You are dissembling, Kaphne.
33:54She would never have been near Capernaum
33:57or anything resembling that situation
33:58if not for him.
34:00And he has not been held accountable.
34:02She had free will, didn't she?
34:04No one was forcing her to travel around
34:06with this Jesus, were they?
34:07One of Jesus' other followers.
34:08A former employee of mine
34:10beguiled her with his youthful charm
34:14and lured her into the notion of marriage
34:16without my consent.
34:17I thought it didn't work that way with you people.
34:18There are loopholes.
34:21The law is complicated.
34:22Did your daughter ever say anything to you
34:24about avenging her death
34:26if something were to happen to her?
34:27It's what any father would do.
34:28Why haven't you attempted vengeance
34:29against the Roman praetor?
34:30He was fired and sent away.
34:33Hanged for all I know.
34:34Why are you looking at me like that?
34:41Oh, I don't know.
34:42Seems like you're under the impression
34:44that you could have done something more
34:45to prevent this.
34:47To protect your daughter, to save her.
34:50And instead of facing your guilt like a man,
34:53or dealing with your grief,
34:55you've decided to look for someone to blame.
34:58You don't know me.
35:00You don't know what's in my heart.
35:01You can't get directly to the praetor
35:02who did the deed,
35:03so now you've moved on to,
35:07frankly, an easy target.
35:10He's not an easy target.
35:12Let's find out.
35:13What?
35:14I don't have any children.
35:15But the way you've decided
35:16to make your daughter's untimely death
35:19all about yourself
35:20repulses me.
35:22However,
35:24your murderous commitment
35:27to alleviating your guilty conscience
35:29may prove useful
35:31to my purposes.
35:34What purposes?
35:38I have a proposal for you, Kofni.
35:41Instead of arresting you
35:42for unlawful assembly,
35:45possession of illegal weapons,
35:47incitement to violence,
35:48conspiracy to commit murder,
35:50and possibly insurrection,
35:51to name only a few,
35:53I will supply you with information
35:54regarding Jesus' whereabouts.
35:59What has he done to you?
36:00Pay attention, please.
36:02The only thing that's required
36:04to keep you out of jail,
36:05or worse,
36:07is that you continue
36:08to spread your venom
36:09to anyone who listen.
36:12Let me explain this to you
36:13in a way you might understand.
36:16Keep doing what you're doing.
36:17Try to turn the tide
36:20of public opinion
36:21against Jesus
36:23and
36:23quid pro quo.
36:29Right.
36:30In exchange,
36:31I'll keep holes
36:34out of your hands and feet.
36:36Holes.
36:39We're finished here.
36:43So what now?
36:45Now?
36:45Now?
36:47We wait.
36:49For what?
36:53For the light of day.
36:54We're finished here.
36:56We're finished here.
36:57We're finished here.
36:57We're finished here.
36:58We're finished here.
36:59We're finished here.
36:59We're finished here.

37:03We're finished here.
37:03We're finished here.

37:15We're finished here.
37:16We're finished here.
37:17We're finished here.
37:18We're finished here.
37:19I don't know.
37:49The people who walked in darkness have seen the great light.
38:01Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
38:16Thank you for that.
38:21That's over it begins in eight hours one last thorough search there cannot be even a single
38:44speck of leaven anywhere in the house Tova I want you to boil water and fire up the ovens
38:51to heat the surfaces of the kitchen and killed any remaining hummets yes Marcus then shechem Allah
38:56I want you to look for the crumbs under every cushion search every pocket of every rope in the closet pour boiling water over
39:03every platter cup utensil dish or a knife that has even come close to a piece of bread in the last year
39:11a governor uh can I help you sir what do you intend to do with Jesus of Nazareth
39:18I don't observe this holiday no kidding I am maintaining my side of this arrangement Caiaphas
39:28I've made plans to make an example of a zealot now tell me what you're doing to maintain yours
39:33Oh zealot are wonderful that should be well received on both sides because both your people and our
39:40people hate zealots they they bring down your wrath on the common people they make things worse
39:47for everyone don't change the subject your people hate zealots and they don't hate Jesus I won't
39:52argue with that but this city has a messianic fever and I need to bring the temperature down well we
40:02agree there in the broadest sense we always have I too want a lower temperature well there are some
40:09families of massacred Jews who might take issue with that neither of us wants a repeat I want peace
40:17just like you I just don't like what I'm hearing about your methods what have you heard don't insult
40:25me so you've been spying on us you're not Roman citizens you have no right to privacy exactly
40:32you're not one of us you don't believe in our God therefore you cannot begin to know what's best
40:41for us there are layers to this you do not comprehend thousands of years of theology tradition and law if
40:51you know what's best for the Jewish people then why does Jerusalem have a fever you asked me what I
40:56plan to do to maintain my side of our arrangement you already know why the intrusion you just wanted
41:07to hear me say it out loud wipe that smug look off your face you've grown too comfortable with our
41:15arrangement so much so that you think you deserve the special treatment the Empire has come to give you
41:22over the years my God's chosen people why should we expect anything less it's galling and confounding
41:29to everyone I know in Rome even our stoic philosopher Seneca has wondered aloud to my humiliation how in
41:38Jerusalem the vanquished have given laws to the victors well not anymore let me say to you plain and
41:51and simple Caiaphas if you go through with this and tensions rise as a result our alliance is over
42:10shut up
42:10this is oppression we are devout men yes but we work hard and we pay our tribute this is an outrage sorry
42:30about the mix-up how shall it was our mistake Shalom Shalom move out
42:36what do you think Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Shalom Sh
43:06For 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?
45:15It'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.
45:46Thomas was never worthy.
45:47That 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.
46:05I 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.
46:18I love you, Hophni.
46:18I love you.
46:48Hello, 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.
47:07Mm-hmm.
47:08What was that back there?
47:10I know, Caffney, but it wasn't your mistake detaining him.
47:14So tell me what's going on.
47:15I'm 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.
47:52Who is being transferred into this prison right about...
47:59Kronos be praised.
48:02Right on time.
48:04Oh, you know him?
48:24Yeah.
48:24Old friend.
48:27Well, your pal is scheduled for execution in about, uh, 28 hours, give or take.
48:37A day and then some.
48:38Barabbas 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.
49:49When preparation meets opportunity.
49:53Buona fortuna.
49:56Simon Z.
49:57Today, the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
50:27He's anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
50:33Today, this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.
50:37I and the father are one.
50:42I and the father are one.
50:47He 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.
51:02I do not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
51:09Rabbi, I'm going to miss.
51:10Oh, Yosef.
51:13I'm sorry to disturb you.
51:15Scripture has already disturbed me.
51:18With all respect, I bring news that might make it worse.
51:22What?
51:24The facts are not fully confirmed, but my confidants are not given to exaggeration or inference without solid evidence.
51:30Don't withhold, young man.
51:32Say it.
51:33Caiaphas is making plans to arrest Jesus.
51:38Oh, impossible.
51:39He doesn't have the authority.
51:42And 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.
51:53Who among them could be capable of such a thing?
51:56I don't know what Matthias has told you, but not all of the followers are in agreement on how they view Jesus.
52:02I have witnessed dissent between them at the house of Lazarus.
52:05Even if one of them betrayed his whereabouts at this very moment,
52:09the Sanhedrin would still have to convene for a trial.
52:12And 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.
52:22Caiaphas' hands are tied.
52:24I assure you they're not, or rather they are, to his father-in-law.
52:30Anos.
52:33He's been deposed before.
52:34We can depose him again.
52:35If he's the one behind all of this, which I suppose he is.
52:40We?
52:40It's a naked violation of the law and tradition.
52:45Most of the judges don't even like Anos.
52:47You said we.
52:49Will you join me and Shimon and the centrist in denouncing Caiaphas' brazen infractions?
52:54Where would I even do that?
52:56Most of the administrative meeting spaces in the temple are closed for Passover.
53:00Nicodemus, you know Caiaphas has no scruples.
53:04My informers say they will call an emergency meeting overnight, tonight,
53:08citing an obscure loophole authorization from the Sefer Hamakabin during times of national crisis.
53:13But Jesus is not a national crisis.
53:17He is, insofar as they rightly perceive him, to be a threat to this current corrupt Israeli hierarchy,
53:25which he's poised to dismantle.
53:27They're not all corrupt, but they are all scared.
53:29Of course they are.
53:30If I may be so bold, you are too harsh on your brethren, Rabban.
53:35They are mostly good men, dedicated to their faith, devoted to preserving our traditions and Torah.
53:41They just weren't ready for Jesus.
53:43I don't think anyone was, present company included.
53:48Me or you?
53:52Both.
53:54Sunset to sunset has not passed, and somehow, I've twice been accused of misunderstanding Jesus of Nazareth.
54:01So you do?
54:03Do what?
54:04Understand Jesus.
54:06I'm getting there.
54:10So what's next?
54:11How can we solve this?
54:12What do you and Mary need to understand?
54:14The die is cast.
54:16My status is irrelevant.
54:19This requires a level of dexterity that neither of you have been forced to implement.
54:24It's not something I can solve with stern words and backroom somewhere.
54:30If you or I disclose our allegiance, now or ever, we will be shut out of all discussions altogether.
54:38Mary?
54:39His follower?
54:40I sent for her.
54:41She was searching for me, but recklessly.
54:43She could have quickened the disaster that is so rapidly unfolding.
54:47She was looking for help anywhere she can find it.
54:49I said recklessly.
54:50And you cared enough about that to bring her in.
54:52Why?
54:53If you're so resigned to the fate of Jesus.
54:55To save her and the others.
54:56From what?
54:57From what could happen next?
55:00I can't stop the Sanhedrin's attempts, but I can at least warn Jesus and his followers.
55:05Rabbi Nicodemus, please hear me.
55:08Rabbi, you are right.
55:12Neither I nor Mary have the wisdom or experience you have.
55:18But we are willing to do anything.
55:23You say we will be shut out of all discussions if we reveal ourselves.
55:27I will follow your lead on that.
55:29But surely, we can be part of the discussion tonight.
55:34I am studying the scriptures and Jesus' statements for clues as to what can happen next.
55:42Or what he has in store.
55:45It's a mystery.
55:47I have no idea what might happen tonight.
55:52Let's find out.
