Hey, I'm downstairs. I'm the creator of The Chosen, and you are about to watch the final two episodes of season one. They are pretty intense; I think you're gonna enjoy them. Now, if you haven't seen the first six episodes, you're gonna need to watch those because these episodes won't make sense if you haven't seen the first six. Now, speaking of making sense, why am I wearing this shirt? It's one of the shirts that we offer that says Get used to different. Well, this is actually a line that Jesus is going to say near the end of the episode you're about to watch, episode 7. Simon Peter is a little bit confused by something, and he doesn't know why Jesus is making a decision, and Jesus says, Get used to different. Well, the reason that show means a lot to us is not only because it defines Jesus's ministry, but it also defines the show itself. From the beginning, everything about the show has been different, including the way to watch it. It's free and easy. Now, the best place to watch the

show besides here on YouTube is the chosen app or the angel Studios app. It's free and easy. There, you can contribute to the show there if you want to make sure that we can do future episodes and seasons. Those apps are where you do it. You're going to get better quality. You're going to get better video and sound. But look, we love you watching it here on YouTube as well. Just make sure that you're caught up. So get used to different. Enjoy these final two episodes. I promise you they're going to be some of the most emotional that we've ever done in the Chosen. And if you want to keep watching more, you want to watch seasons one, two, and three, and beyond, make sure you get the chosen app and the angel Studios app. Foreign [Music] Joshua, how many more in the night? 300, sir. Where will you bury them? Men are trying to take a trench, but the ground is hard and rocky. With respect, Moses, my concern is not for the dead but for the dying. Hundreds fall by the day, and for every

serpent. We kill another 10 appear. Maybe we should leave the bodies here in this tent. At the rate people are dying, there would not be enough room even if we stacked them to the top. And we'll have to leave and find someplace else anytime soon. Too many people are sick and cannot walk. After today, the only Hebrews too sick to walk will be those who choose to remain. So, is there medicine in that bronze? You told the people that you would ask God to forgive their rebellion, to heal their serpent wounds. And why are you hiding in a tent? It wasn't my idea, Joshua. That is a pagan symbol. You did not ask him if he was sure. Maybe you misunderstood him. I've learned to do what he says without questioning. You remember what happened at Mariba. To be sure, send a message that Paul hand me that Paul [Applause]. And people will say it is a cruel joke. Let them say that. Help me understand. None of this makes any sense. How do you explain the Red Sea, the man in the coil, the pillar of fire?

Joshua, any Israelite who looks upon this bronze Serpent and believes in the power of Adonai will be healed. It's an Act of Faith, not reason. [Music] [Music] s [Music] yeah, I'm the one. [Applause] [Applause] [Music] right, thank you. [Music] thank you, foreign. [Music] why are you here? I'm escorting you because you feel indebted for your promotion. You're complaining about safely walking the street. I didn't help quintus for you. Oh, I know you couldn't help yourself. I spoke up because I was right. You got lucky. Luck doesn't exist. So you knew quintus would not kill you. He was smart to go after the fisherman, but he must have been desperate to enlist Simon and I'll buy it. You were terrified, guys. What if you were suddenly the only Roman and Captain, though? I think I changed clothes exactly when you realize that nobody else in the world cares what happens to you. You

think only about yourself for a fool. Your brain is taking you far. I admit it, I thought so too. [Music] Please, Adonai. He is healthy and alive. What are you talking about? I received word from Jerusalem. Gave birth to a son. Your grandfather again. So soon, a month early, but all is well. Oh, Blessed Be he. We'll have the rest of our things sent. No, no, no. My research here is not completed. But we have to make it back in time for the breasts. We have only eight days, less today. Circumcision can be performed by any number of peoples of horror vehicle. This is your own Grand Theft grandson. Have you ever understand? Do you know what people will say when they learn that the great Nicodemus missed his own grandson's name day because he was doing research in Capernaum? Mobile search that concerns not just one Jewish boy but all of Israel, past, present, and future. There's nothing in compounding but demoniacs and insulin school boys. Come to your senses. I have never been closer to my senses.

that is not how it looks from the outside. Many things are not. I am ready to leave this place, Nico. I miss my children and my grandchildren, including the one I haven't even met yet. You can't just bark. Oh, I believe I can. Pretty acquaintance. So horror, is it pleasure to see you again? I trust all as well. Why would you trust the Hat? Please do make yourself at home. Really, we'll have to discuss the people's tithing. This is when you have come. I need to know if we have a problem, Nicodemus. I have complied with every request Rome has made to my office, even when it infringed on custom. Let me rephrase. You and I want the same thing. We want rules followed. We want order. Soldiers, money, votes. That's my world. Demons, prayers, oddballs. That's yours. I need to know if our worlds are on a collision course. The so-called miracle worker, Jesus of Nazareth. Don't even know what Nazareth is, but yes, him. Anecdotes and rumors and a Stampede in

the Eastern ghetto that delayed Herod's envoy. That really made me look bad. I hate that the unrest began when your soldiers waded into the crowd brandishing weapons. It isn't an isolated event. I've heard reports. My source has an unwavering knack for accuracy and a compulsion for the truth. So again, I ask you, is there a problem? [Music] Now you don't seem sure. Maybe I could get better information from this Shmuel. He's very eager to see me. The only way to learn this preacher's intentions is to speak with him directly. So speak to him. I hate crowds. They take time and resources, and then cleanup is a pain. When you arrange a private meeting, I want to know when and where. Understand? [Music] What troubles you about this man? Preachers have a habit of becoming politicians, like weeds that spread. You know, my wife is a gardener. She understands sunflowers spread their seeds when trampled. Who's to say you wouldn't be creating a martyr?

yeah, I'll take my chances. You sympathize with this preacher when we be safe here. What do you mean, safe? You'll be looking for us because of what you said about forgiving sins. We won't be here very long after what happened yesterday. We'll keep moving from town to town. Is that what you want? You mean we're all about not able to stay in one place. I want to do the will of my father, and I want to spread the message of salvation. So yes, I'm happy to not stay in one place, rabbi. Guess that I should prepare firewood for how many days? Uh, five, I think. I thought you said that we wouldn't be here very long. Leaving some for the next weary traveler. Hospitality isn't only for people who own homes, John. Maddie, are you all right? Yes, thank you. Uh, may I speak with you, Rabbi? Yes, of course. Keep going. I wanted to apologize for yesterday. For what? Trying to help those people get closer to the sound of your voice. I had no idea.

that would open the roof and disrupt your teaching. I'm true, so you regret that a paralytic is enjoying his first full day on his own feta. No, just that they closed the scene and cut. Shortcut supposed to say it was cut short with their faith. They would have found a way, whether you brought them to the roof or not. Oh, there's more. When we were leaving, Pharisees stopped me and asked for a private meeting with you. I told them I would ask a Pharisee, Do you know this man? He visited me before. A Pharisee in the red quarter sent him. I doubt he wanted to be there. No, I wouldn't think so. Well, I saw him again after I was better, and he wanted to know how I was healed. Of course, I didn't tell him who we were, but he seemed what? Earnest. He wasn't offended to learn that someone else had succeeded where he had failed. That there was the hunger in his eyes, not fear, not like the Pharisees at the window yesterday.

I am sorry to have brought all the sun. No, no, or there was a reason you met this Pharisee Nicodemus. I've heard of him. Dogs know who is known, who is not. This is all new to me. Don't worry about which men others think are important. Send word to Nicodemus. I will meet with him. Little James will know the location. Thank you, Mary. Yes, teacher. Where are you going? Pray also because I did not put you in terrible danger. In fact, I have made plans already. Tomorrow night, plan, yes. Spread the word. A dinner party in the Northern District. A tall house just past the arch. Look at that row of homes. I know the kind of people who live there. Trust me. What are the others [Music] about you? Hello, IMA or Elisheva. I mean, hello. Thank you. I don't receive visitors myself. Is this a custom? If your father were here, I couldn't do this. Where is that? She is. I think a dog followed you. He's with me. Just stay out here. If you let me in.

Ralphie's be home soon. He's away, and I worked. Where would work take him? Does he no longer make leather goods? His shop was robbed. Many of the shops have been. I miss rampant. Makes it very difficult to reopen. He loved his shop, but we still have a roof over our heads, which is more than some people can say. You can ask me for money if you ever need it, okay? I think it's quite common. I've seen many parents entirely dependent on your father. Would sooner die than take your blood money. I know you are ashamed of me, but your decision is irrational. Rome will continue to collect taxes no matter what. I'm skilled with numbers. Did you come here to justify yourself? Oh no, everything's like sand and a flood. The things I thought I knew to be true. Are you in trouble? Do you think that impossible things can happen? That overturn the laws of nature? That cannot be explained? That is what people asked when you were a boy. Even the rabbis were astonished at your talent for reading math the way.

you could think faster than any other child. They thought you would be someone great, great at what I'm rich. I have an armed escort. I'm trusted by the Prater. Never dreamed you would use the talent God gave you to bleed your people. Have you ever seen anything miraculous? My whole world, everything I thought I knew, wrong. I think you should go. You never even asked about your sister. She looks well. I came to celebrate Shabbat a few weeks ago, then I left. Goodbye. I'm not sure this is a good idea. Why not? Could be a trap. Nicodemus cooperates with Rome. They're the ones who sent him to marry when she was possessed in the red quarter. I'm well acquainted with risks, Simon, so are you. If I remember our first meeting correctly, risk is his oldest friend. I'm afraid Simon. Mary is an excellent judge of character. She has known some of the worst kinds of men in this world. She finds him earnest, should trust her instincts and mine. Um, bye-bye. I've got it. Ah, take a look.

can you keep her quiet please. No one needs to know. Am I sick? I can't tell her not to cough, Simon. I just don't want our burdens to become his, okay? I don't want to be the one to distract him. He's made up his mind about you. He's not going to kick you out of the group. It's perfect, well done. I think I can fit all of you in here with me, huh? You won't be recognized in that, as the owner of the house giving permission. It's all arranged, Rabbi, and I'll be waiting at the door. Thank you, Andrew. You go on ahead, but remember to relax. You are there to guide our guests, not to be my protector. Are you sure you don't want me to come? The more eyes watching the streets for trouble, the better. Not tonight, Simon. Stay here with your wife and your mother-in-law. [Music] Welcome, negatives. Don't be alarmed. He's waiting for you. I asked the owner of this house for more lanterns, but he said they would draw attention.

Yes, I imagine they would. The human eye is drawn to light. I can't help it; it just happens. There are many things we are drawn to without our thinking or our ability to explain why. Thank you for agreeing to meet. Thank you for trying to help Mary when you did. There's no help. You were meant to be there, me, so I could fail miserably at an exorcism in the red quarter. If you had not been there that day, would you be on this roof tonight? Where to start? I have so many questions. Shall we sit first? Oh yes, of course. [Applause] The Eastern slums, many wandering preachers have succeeded in gathering crowds right there, rhetoric and fiery tone. I've heard a few of them over the years myself, so you know the time. But I have never heard anyone tell the paralytic to get up and walk, much less it actually happened. So what is your conclusion? I believe you are not acting alone. No one can do these signs you do without having God in him. Only someone who has come from

God, and now, as they believe, going over in the synagogue, huh [Laughter]. Is why we are here at this hour. What else? What have you come here to show us? A kingdom that is what our rulers are worried about? No, not that kind. Then what? A sort of Kingdom that a person cannot see unless he is born again. Born again? Yes. You mean right? A new creature? A conversion from Gentile to Jewish? No, no, that's not what I'm talking about. Then what is born again? I hope you don't mean return to the womb because that would be a problem for me. My mother, and she rest in peace, is dead. Truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh, it's flesh, and that which is born of the spirit, spirit. That part of you that is what must be reborn to New Life. How can these things be? Ah, a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things. I'm trying, Rabbi.

I know, I know. Do you hear this? What? Listen. What do you hear? The wind. How do you know it's the wind? 'Cause I can feel it. Did I hear it sound? Do you know where it comes from? No. Do you know where it's going? No. That's what it is to be born again of the spirit. Spirit may work in a way that is a mystery to you, and while you cannot see the spirit, can recognize his effect. Mind is consumed with thoughts of what has stirred these words would cause among the teachers of the law. Yes, and I do not expect otherwise. I speak of what I know and have seen, and it has not been received by the religious leaders. It's hard to receive. So if I have told you of Earthly things and you do not believe, how can I tell you Heavenly things? I believe your words. I just fear you may not have a chance to speak many more of them before you are silenced. I have come to do more than speak words, Nicodemus. More miracles? Yes, but even more than that.

Do you remember when the children of Israel complained against God and against Moses in the wilderness of Paran? Yes, they wanted to return to Egypt, and they cursed the manna that God sent them. And then they were bitten by serpents, and they were dying. But God made a way for them to be healed. Moses lifted the bronze serpent in the desert, and people only needed to look at it. So will the Son of Man be lifted up, so that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. Our people are not dying from snake bites; they die from taxation and oppression. Sorry to disappoint you, but I did not come to deliver the people from Rome and from what? From sin, from spiritual death. God loves the world in this way: but He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. This has nothing to do with Rome; it's all about sin. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, Nicodemus; He sent Him to save it through Him. It's as simple as Moses's serpent on the

pole whoever believes in him will not be condemned. But whoever does not believe stands condemned already. Have you ever heard anything like this before? When I met Lilith Mary that day, I told my wife and my students that she was beyond human aid. Only God could have healed her, and then I saw her healed. Here you are, either I, my life. I wondered if I would see. Follow me and you'll see more. How are you? Join me and my students in today's time. We leave Capernaum. Come see the kingdom I am bringing into this world. But I, I have a position in this honey turn to have family. You are getting advanced in years. I understand that the invitation is still open. Invitation to what exactly? Little nomadic life to give up who I am. It's true there is a lot you would give up, but what you would gain is far greater and more lasting. Is this another one of you born again Mysteries? Maybe. I know Mysteries aren't easy for a scholar. Think about it. Take your time.

on the morning of the fifth day, we leave, and we'll meet by the well in the southern quarter. And Dawn is this [Music]. Is the kingdom of God. I mean, what does your heart tell you [Music]. My heart is swollen with fear and told me nothing except except I am starting to go holy roof. I do hope you come with us. We don't have to do that. What are you doing? Kiss the sun lest you be angry and you perish in the way [Music]. Blessed are aura would take refuge in him [Music]. You see the Parthian foot races last night. Darius ran like a gazelle. Shoes don't go to Food faces. Your old friend Simon himself used to run the wagering tables. We're not friends next. Okay, fine. So you did not go to the races. You stay home. I went to see my mother. Put me out too. She asked when you're going to give her grandchildren. She didn't ask. I thought your parents don't speak to

you I had questions I couldn't ask anyone else. A mother of a son with talent like yours should be proud. She's ashamed that I could use the talent that God gave me against God. Next, you're good at something. You found a way to make a living doing it. It's that simple. Must be nice to live in the world so simply. Order. We live in the same world, Matthew. Next, besides, what else are you going to do with a mind like yours? [Applause] Foreign [Applause] Matthew, son of Alphaeus. [Music] Follow me. Thank you. Yes, you. What are you doing? You want me to join you? Keep moving. Street preacher. Do you have any idea what this guy has done? Do you know him? Yes. [Music] Listen, I said, what are you doing? Where do you think you're going? Guys, let me go. [Music] If you lost your mind, you have money. Quintus protects you. No Jew lives as good as you. You're gonna throw it all away. Yes. [Music]

I don't get it. Didn't get it when I chose you either, but this is different. I'm not a tax collector. Get used to different. [Music] I'm glad we passed by your booth today, Matthew. Yes, shall we? We have a celebration to prepare for. You will regret this, Matthew. What's the tablet for? I grabbed it without thinking. You can put it back. No, no, keep it. You may yet find use for it. Where are we going? We didn't party. I'm not welcome at dinner parties. Well, that's not going to be a problem tonight. You're the host. [Music] Is this the spot? My son, Shalom, my friend. I don't know that well. It's something my family says. It's a greeting of peace. You won't find much of that here, I'm afraid. I'm Jacob. I'm messy nasib. I would offer you something to drink, but as you can see, we have just begun work on our well. You bought this land from the sons of him for only 100 cases. Can you believe it? I

believe it every time the princes of this land cheat another Foreigner. You, of course, the day you pay that 100. And what do you think would have been a fair price? I have 12 sons to work the land, and once we strike water, you will never strike water. Yes, the recent rain makes the land look lush, but the underground river runs around the mountain, not of it. Our God takes care of us. The gods are not nice here. We won't be here that long. We are sojourners. And what are you looking for? A land. Our God promised my grandfather Abraham. Your grandfather? You ever notice how the gods are always promising us things, but we never really see them happen? Sometimes it takes generations. Suit yourself. So what is this uh God of yours called anyway? El Shaddai. I've never heard of him. Not many people have, but I think someday they will. You have no home. Where's your temple for this God? He has no temple. So where do you worship Him? Build altars wherever we go, and

you do not carry him with you. No, there are no carved idols of him, so he's invisible. Yes, well, usually. There was one time he broke my hip. Oh no, no, no. I've heard enough of other gods you could possibly choose from. You pick an invisible God whose promises take generations to come true, who makes you so John in strange places, and he broke your hip. That is a strange choice. Oh, immigrants. We didn't choose him. [Music] He chose us. [Music] Thank you. [Music] Hmm. [Music] [Music] The morning foreign [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] When the door opened, I honestly hoped it was a thief or a murderer come to put me out of my misery. Sorry to disappoint you, but there's something I need from you first. Come closer. I can't see you. Your hair is matted and your face is red. Why? You know why. If you came back, you could go to the world with the other

women in the cold of the morning. You're wrong about that. I could go with them if I had played with Romaine. Out with it. How much do you need? I'm not here for money. I've brought a bill of divorce. All you need to do is sign it. Only a man can divorce his wife, not the other way around. For dinner, which is why the certificate is in your name. I'm living with another man. So what? That's all you did with me. You know why I married you. Stability. The shine war of quick provision for her husband to divorce his wife if she lies with another man. Listen to you talking about how do I have to do. Bring him here. Yes, I want to see the latest shade of drooling Tomcat you put your spell on Harry before he gets bored like the others. Will you sign it or not? Give it here. No peace, please. You're my property for Tina. I don't part lightly with my possessions. Foreign [Laughter] [Laughter] somehow I can't see that.

I thought for certain he would trip and fall, and I would be arrested. Probably would happen, huh? I thought for certain Lil was gone forever that day, and it's Mercury now. Always once anyone want any grapes. Apparently, you eat a lot. I'm very observed. Thank you, Simon. You know, Matthew, when you're not behind iron bars, quite handsome. I agree. [Laughter] It's going on. May I help you? We were just on a walk, and we heard voices, and I thought they sounded like surely not. And yet it is you. Would you like to come in? We would never be caught dead in what? In a tax collector's house? Not only that, but we say, do you know what she and he? They seem to be having troubles finding your words, man. Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners? It's not the healthy who need a doctor or the sick. I must say, I am shocked. She is from the red quarter. Much of what is done there cannot even be spoken by my tongue or across my lips. It is so Unholy. The mere

mention of it would defile me sounds like a personal problem, but him and the others he works with, they betray our people for money, and they are not even sorry. If you're so offended, then leave. Let them speak, Andrew. They've never offered Guild sacrifices in the temple. What the prescript's records, we checked them. Tax Collectors are not welcome at the temple. I would like them better if they made the proper sacrifices. This is not about me, this is about what God wants. You are forgetting the scroll of Hosea. Go and learn what this means: I desire Mercy more than sacrifice. We're all righteous men on the lookout for you, and they are weighing every word you say. Is that a threat? Please let them know this, Yusuf. I have not come to call the righteous, sinners. Is everything under control here? Yes, we were just going on our way, Centurion. It's pretty ordinary to you. You all keep eating. I will talk to this man. Guys, you're making a mistake. You can walk away from this.

I made my choice. Look at that room. Other than Mom and Jay, who I know to be law-abiding Tax Collectors, everyone else in there is the dregs of Capernus, bottom of the barrel, Germanic, correct? Isn't that what you told Quintus? Do not change yourself. Your people surrendered. I'm surrendering too. Your promotion was well earned. You will do well without me, better even. How? You're the one who can be promoted. That is untrue. Do not play dumb. You know how this all happened. You could say thank you. No, I'm not going to do that. Well, if you can't say it, then there's something you could do to show it. I'll pay you. If Nessie said, I do not want your money. What is the favor? You have not rehearsed your speech for me. It's nothing. They want to honor you for the great things you have done here. Give them a thrill. My remarks will be extemporaneous. You are one of those rare men who excels in both rehearsed and unrehearsed speech.

and you are not guilty of bias, are you? Those are not my words. Kaivas said that about you at Allah. He was just flattering. That there is no one above the high priest but God. What is he to gain from you by flattery? That he has never complimented my cooking. Do you remember that final dinner when Elliot sang to have Allah? She was glowing. His voice is sweeter for the child in her womb. Brought tears to my Aries. Can you picture Moisha and Gideon, their little chins resting on the table when you say they are [Music]? That's the way Shabbat was meant to be. Family knit together around the table. My mother's gilded plates. Your grandmother's candlesticks. Is she rest in peace? And if she could see you now, receiving the highest honor ever bestowed by our order. Burst with pride. I remember the inscription she had broke the doorway of her room. Adonai L Roy. The Lord, the God who sees me. The words of Hagar. This Love that Hagar was

caught up in something complicated and fraught, but not of her choice. And yet God saw her, and they knew that she was forced to take would not an easy one. And we stumbled onto hard roads. He finds us and comforts us. What does he call us to them? Persian myrrh and camphor to commemorate our last day in Capernaum. [Music] And last day Nicodemus. I love our life and still works. [Music] Take me back to it. I changed my mind. I will prepare my remarks. I will need a moment, guys. Peter, just a man. I've been waiting to see. Get in here. What methods are we using to quell and disperse mobs that have struck traffic? Regular patrols, mounted officers when necessary. Force not enough? Force. What use are mounted officers if the people have never seen anyone trampled? Peter, Herod's envoy was delayed of childhood. Riable, you were there. I asked Matthew. He said, Show him some infrastructure plans. I hope it was effective. Dominus, very. I'm told Sylvius was delayed by a

stampede on his way out. I had to endure a very smug lecture. Don't let that happen again. Yes, Peter. I see you are alone. I assume that means you've found a replacement to watch our little friend. A new Soldier has been trained and installed. Good. And I am reviewing applications for a new public honest for that District. What district? The Collection District, previously assessed by Matthew. Why are you doing that? Matthew left. He quit Dominus. What do you mean he quit? Why would you let him quit? He is a contractor. I had no recourse. Quit to do what? He is to become a student of what? Don't make me keep asking questions. To study the Jewish god. He left to follow a holy man. The man from the Eastern ghetto. That is all I know. Oh, I really don't like that man. Brothers and she made more she's convincible stuff along the way with six days of walking, huh? Three. Three. We're going to run all the way to Jerusalem. That won't work for Simon. He's a terrible Runner. Yeah, well, I have bad

shins well maybe if he didn't get in a fight with Abba and Joseph fat every week. Easy, easy boys, my fighting days are over. Simon, you seem quiet this morning. Oh, we have a long journey ahead. Apparently only half as long as we thought. I'll explain later. Simon, what troubles you? Nothing, just excited for the trip. You know you can tell me the truth. They tell me you don't already know what's in my head. That's a conversation for another time. Wow, I'm the only one among us who is married. So you think I should have only called single people? Of course not, and I'm glad he didn't. But Eden will be along with her email. I'm scared that things could get worse and you wouldn't be there. See, that's what I mean. You already know anyway, Simon. Everyone here knows what you're thinking most of the time. It does not take God's wisdom. Congratulations on your profound contribution, Rabbi. We are forever in your debt. Praise Adam, praise. I don't die. The ceremony was glorious, teacher.

your acts of faithfulness and the sediment have been duly recorded for all history. Thank you. I'm grateful for your service as well. Thank you. I foresee you will be an important leader in our order for many years to come. Maybe not just here in Capernaum, rabbi. Perhaps I will one day teach across Judea. Maybe even in Jerusalem. Perhaps you will. It's not such a ridiculous notion, is it, rabbi? Have studied under your venerated tutelage, after all. As your reputation grows, so too do my own prospects. I think it is perhaps bold to assume outcomes. Our work is for God. He chooses where it takes us. You're right, as always, rabbi. But under your guidance, I've found a matter of law I'm deeply passionate about. One that resonates with many others, even as far away as Jerusalem. I'm delighted to hear your prayers. Tell me, what is it you've become so passionate about? False prophecy. When I heard the Man from Nazareth tell the paralytic his sins were forgiven, I

thought only God can forgive sins. At that very moment, he turned to me and recited my thoughts as if reading them from a scroll. I felt the same. Did he use divination? I wondered, but it's obvious. Of course, I would think this thought. He called himself the son of man, as if from the Prophet Daniel. Here in the town of my order, came from Nazareth. To him was given dominion and glory and the kingdom that our peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. Simply a man. I don't understand it anymore. His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. The man claimed to be God. I will petition Jerusalem, requesting permission to search the archives for all matters pertaining to such false prophecy. With you oppose my petition, thereby the question on the mind of every man who reads my account will have to be what did Nicodemus do. You think so. It's all about politics and promotion for you, isn't it? It's not to serve God, our country.

teacher, it's about the law, and the law is God. If I'm rewarded for that, it's because I learned from the very wisest. [Music] I will not oppose, and you have learned nothing from me. [Music] Oh, where does Simon? Can he build us a fire? He's away fishing. No, something else. I still [Music] Eden. Jesus. I. I wasn't expecting you here. People usually aren't. Can I get you something? You want to drink? I was just stalking the fire. I saw it first, you know. What do you mean? What I see in Simon. You were the first person to notice when no one else did. That connects us. My mother said I was drawn to his wildness and that I would regret it. I wonder what she will say now. We're going to sit down to sell these nests. We'll be right back. Stay here a moment, Simon. I just want to leave some extra money behind for Eden and Neymar while I'm away. Put your nets down and go sit with your mother-in-law.

It's all right. I told Simon to make sacrifices and leave things behind in order to follow me. You are one flesh with Simon. We cannot make sacrifices that are not also yours. You have a role to play in all of this. You will know in time. Foreign, that wouldn't be our people's way. No, has not been, now will it continue to be. But I see you. You understand. I know it is not easy to be at home when your husband is out doing all of please, even when you are excited about it and proud of him. So I wouldn't ask you to do this without taking care of a few things. Plus, normal Simon is difficult enough. You think I want to travel with a worried salmon? No, no, I do not. [Music] I feel respect. Her forehead burns my hand to the touch. We should get a doctor. There is no need. [Music] Thank you. [Music] Leave her. Who are you? This is Jesus of Nazareth. You've never met him before. Welcome to my son-in-law's home. Thank you.

what am I doing lying here? You had a terrible feeling, and all of you staring down Dasha don't know one move. I'll be right back with somebody coming. [Music] to your friend like gold teeth. Yes, I love goat cheese. I should be about thank you me for what bake and following him let him here. [Music] Simon nectarines two chickens thank you plumsia. Do you want some? Yeah, serve your kind here. And what kind is that? I know what you are. Well, lucky for you, can serve myself. You know, to stop me, you'd have to look at me. Take down this decree in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek, so no one can plead ignorance. By order of Rome and punishable by detention and imprisonment, religious gatherings outside the synagogue and Hebrew school are strictly prohibited. Foreign the teacher known as Jesus of Nazareth is sought for questioning. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] can you give to him [Music] relax [Music] [Music]

all right [Music] now it should be everyone's here. Yes, this is all of us. Is there anyone else? Look at this. What is that? I don't know. Let's find out. Gold. A friend of mine left that for us. It's enough for two weeks of food and lodging. You came so close. [Music] What do you mean? We need to go for it to make it to a camp in Tiberius by Nightfall. Simon is correct. Let's go. [Music] Are you gonna wear that on a trip into my clothes? Should I have others? [Music] Hello. Who is it? Roman. What's wrong? What happened? What did it mean? Follow me. That is all he said. Matthew did not hesitate. Follow him where? Look, I'm sure he will come to his senses. His senses? Do you know my son? Do you? At the moment, he believes this man to be a prophet. The man that healed the paralytic to get to Betty's house. I would be careful with that word healed. We do not know what sort of

trickery or illusion may have been involved. Matthew has no interest in illusion, nor in your God, or so I thought. Matthew upended his life to be with him, his wicked life. He does not make decisions lightly, that is true. When I saw him two days ago, he did not see himself, but I never would have guessed that he was preparing for this. He asked me to deliver to you some of his personal effects: with an eye in heaven, the key to his house, luxury boat off the backs of our people. I will not accept it. He suspected as much: sell it, give it away, burn it down, I do not care. Don't burn it down. The other is just outside. Matthew, what? Why? Matthew said thieves forced you to close your business. Yes, and you've been taking long journeys for your business. Yes, I have all my appointments. Don't you get it? The roads are dangerous. Your wife has left for long periods of time alone. Yeah, people with bad intentions hate him. I... how does it work? One last thing: if you hear from him or receive any word.

of his whereabouts. Contact me immediately. Is he wanted? Not officially, but if Jesus of Nazareth returns to Capernaum, the preeta would like to question him, and it would be in everyone's best interest if you contact me. We understand, and I just want you to... well, I know some people that were mildly fond of your son. [Music] Hungry. Almost there. What city is that? Just real. The southernmost town in Galilee. From their River East to the Jordan River. Where are you going? Do you need something? It's way friends. I'm sorry, but the map shows that just real is two miles Southeast of here and is met by a road east of the Jordan. We need to adjust our course 30 degrees. We're not going to the Jordan. We're going for Samaria. Are you telling a joke? There's a place that I want to stop. Plus, it makes our journey shorter by almost half, and there are odds of violent attack more likely by double. Is that an exact figure? Forgive me, teacher, but it's safer to go around.

somebody if I went to Jordan and the capitalists. Would you join me for safety reasons, but rabbi Samaritans, good observation, Big James. What's your point whereby these were the people that profint our temple with the dead bones. They hated us both against us with the solutions Wars. I spoken to a Samaritan and we destroyed their Temple a hundred years ago and none of you here or present for any of these things. Listen, if we're going to have a question and answer session every time we do something you're not used to, it's going to be a very annoying time together for all of us. We'll be fine, and if we get attacked, Simon would be happy to show us what to do. Absolutely right, so follow me. [Music] foreign [Music] last night Master. We need to go into town for food. We can use the gold left for us at the fountain. Very well, there's a town about the Mile West cigar. You all go, I'll wait here. Someone should stay with you in case I'm all right.

meet me at that well when you come back foreign [Music] foreign [Music] would you give me a drink you hear me that's bad huh what you would you ask her to drink from me as Samaritan and a woman I'm sorry I should have said please you know it's not safe for you to be alone out here how are you why haven't you come with others am I so late in the day don't women come to the wells in the pool of the morning yeah well why won't they be seen with you long story still like a drink of water if you can spare it he's in water park the road will do aren't I unclean to you want to be defiled by this vessel maybe some of my people say that about your women but I don't yeah and what do you say I say if you knew who I am would be asking me for a drink really and I would give you living water wood except that you have nothing to throw water with and this is a deep well

besides what you need from me if you have your own supply of Living Water. Long story, but you wish what it is better than Samaritan. That's not what I said. Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob who dug this well? Your water is better than his. I know Jacob and everyone who drinks this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. Wouldn't that be nice? The water I give will become in a person a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Really? It's really. Prove it. First, go and call your husband, then come back. I will show you both. I don't have a husband. You are right. You've had five husbands, and the man you're living with now is not your husband. I see you're a prophet. You're here to preach at me. No, usually the one good thing about coming here alone is I can escape being condemned. I'm not here to condemn. I've made mistakes too many, but it's men like you who have

made it impossible for me to do anything about it. How our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews insist Jerusalem is the only place for true worship. They say that because the temple is there, exactly where it would not allow. I'm here to break those barriers, and the time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. Where am I supposed to go when I need God? Never received anything from God, but I couldn't thank him even if I did. Anywhere God is Spirit, and the time is coming and is now here. It won't matter where you worship, but only that you do it spirit and truth, heart and mind. That is the kind of worshiper he's looking for. It won't matter where you're from or what you've done. Do you believe what I'm telling you? Until the Messiah comes, it explains everything and sorts this mess out, including me. I don't trust in anyone. You're wrong when you say that you've never received anything from God. This Messiah you speak of.

I am he. The first one was named Ramin. You were a woman of purity, excited to be married, but he wasn't a good man. He hurt you, and it made you question marriage and even the practice of your faith. The second was Farzad. On your wedding night, his skin smelled like oranges. To this day, every time you pass by the oranges in the market, you feel guilty for leaving him because he was the only truly godly man you've been with, but you felt unworthy. Why are you doing this? [Music] I have not revealed myself to the. You are the first. [Music] It would be good if you believed me. I picked the wrong person. I came to Somalia just to meet you. Do you think it's an accident that I'm here in the middle of the day? I am rejected by others. [Music] As you know these things because you are the Christ. [Music] I'm going to tell everyone. I was counting on it. Spirits and Truth. It won't be all about mountains or

temples soon just a heart. You promised. I promise. This man tells me everything I've done. [Music] Oh, he must be the Christ. [Music] Hey, wait, you water. You forgot your um um that way. We've got food. What would you like? Ah, I have food to eat that you do not know about. Who got you food? Wait a minute. You told her, and she can tell others. What food? My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. You told her where you are, so does that mean? It means we're going to stay here a couple of days. It's been a long time of sewing. The fields are ripe for harvest, and so it's time. Let's go. Yes. [Music] Me like a lamb for the slaughter. Pour me in your cup. Should have known we'd bring trouble. Trouble gonna find you here. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh. [Music] Foreign. [Music] Thank you. [Music] [Music] [Music]

foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign foreign [Music] uh yeah they should be here right we kept it in the southern corner no you said the North so do we have to go back are you sure I don't know
