I know a rebus I shouldn't arrested him
I shouldn't have tried him I shouldn't
be sending him to the cross you're
taking the advice of Talia's Barabbas
could have been quietly strangled in the
cell and you wouldn't have to cope with
that crowd outside if I had listened to
target I would have made a mockery of
Roman law and I hate to think what.
Caesar would have made of me gratitude
to these Jews when I think of the time I
spent be the new water system to
Jerusalem and the cost you are a
brilliant engineer Pilate I suppose
that's a compliment well yes we need
your advice perhaps you could indicate
more clearly what you have in mind
something that will sit well with Caesar
as you know Caesar has ordered no
compromise with the Jewish extremists
particularly with mob heroes you'll have
to crucify Barabbas do you have an
alternative is that what you call advice
do you understand what's going on out do
you want this demonstration to turn into
another uprising if you don't crucify
him you'll have been Caesar on the other
hand if you do I'm suppose you'll have
an angry mob at your throat Thank You.
Claudia that's exactly what I need at
- this moment my wife's analysis of the
- arm.
There is of course one possibility they
know that on their Passover you perform
an annual act of mercy by commuting the
death sentence of one Jew symbolic and
probably a mistake
last year I seem to remember it was an
arsonist this year are you seriously
suggesting that I free Barabbas a Jew
who has m*rder*d a Roman soldier no
there's got to be another way
I will not surrender to these barbarians
since this is meant to be a magnanimous
Roman gesture to a conquered people why
- not take it a stage further and allow
- them to make the choice listen they've.
Made their choice
exactly you offered them another
criminal they've choose Barabbas it's no
longer your decision
a bus
listen to it these days I can understand
you or hate leaving the piece of the
temple a piece of the temple how long
will that last
I don't envy you not the easiest time to
be high priest to Judea indeed not.
Nicodemus.
Barabbas kills one Roman soldier and the.
Romans retaliate a hundred for one it's
not the kind of arithmetic I favor do
any others pollution Resolute's there
are heroics cost precious Jewish blood.
Oh Joseph firefighter I am grateful to.
Barnabas for one thing there's nothing
else he's taking your mind off Jesus
well that depends well whether you have
made my warning to him okay you know
this heretic has been seen just outside
the city.
Helen dare enter it once again and I
will have him arrested by the temple
guard
there's the well there's the man with
the pitcher Peter how could he know the
man with the pitcher was gonna lead us
to the sin he arranged it you can't all
be miracles you know there's a practical
side to him too Peter where are you from.
Galilee I love you dad
occupation fisherman named Simon but
your journey she moaned Bayona
and yours John Hebrew name Johanna you
don't smell like fisherman we wash for
passing you fish with the sword in.
Galilee men has to protect himself is it
against the law in Jerusalem move on
hey what do they think of Barabbas in.
Galilee we don't know him of course he
will all pay for the subjects of Caesar
in Galilee we render unto Caesar what is.
Caesar's and to God what is God's
what is - well put for a fisherman who
said that our rabbi and what belongs to
Caesar tax and your God love excellent
we could do with more Jews like your
rabbi on your way
I'm Jacob Peter John come with me when
is he coming into the city in time for
the Seder I was hoping he changed his
mind it's foolish very food
he knows the danger then why I suppose
he would say the prophet Isaiah
predicted it the prophet Isaiah
didn't detect the courtyard of the
temple and drive the merchants and
moneychangers off with a whip what is
the one thing these Jews are really
passionate about their religion
what are they go to a restaurant of
their high priests there does point the
way their religious counts the Sanhedrin.
Thank You Thomas
they're against Barabbas they don't like
zealots and revolution is any more than
we do
now if we could find someone that they
dislike it was also violated Roman law
you know the same problem you just have
another Barabbas not only has no
political supporters their mob behind
him there is a rabbi the Galilean hardly
any a few days ago he started a rampage
in that temple name is Yeshua are
yourself how do you know I've seen him
well I don't care who he is laws he's
broken the law on arresting and I
provoked further demonstrations what if
he's innocent he's a Jew I'll look into
it if you like yes do before they start
- setting themselves up for their internal
- min ago ceremonies.
Well you won't be able to be arriving
later after we've seen the room I'll go
back to the well and wait to lead them
here for the Seder
do your proof Peter the rabbi will be
pleased My servants will look after you
tonight Thank You Jacob but that won't
be necessary
I want to Peter it's the least I could
do anything anything I can do our Mehta
service Jacob thank you
he challenged on the left is Philippa
properity
I've been talking to some people who
just arrived from Galilee there's been
rioting there the Roma's have k*lled
more than a dozen people for protesting
against Barabbas a sentence
do you think these people were sinners
above all other sinners in Galilee and
that is why this happened to the whole
course not it happened to them because
they were Jews protesting against Roman
tyranny and when the Tower of Siloam
fell in Jerusalem and k*lled 18 men do
you think it was because they were
sinners do you Judas no I don't they
were k*lled because the mortar was badly
mixed and they happened to be working on
the tower what does that have to do with
the m*ssacre in Galilee I'm saying that
whoever does not repent will perish in
one of many ways I understand but I
don't understand it's why even though
I'm not from Galilee I said to care what
happens to Patriots similar than anyone
else
whatever happens in Galilee is small
compared to what will happen when the
day of judgement comes it is coming what
Judas is saying rabbi is that if anyone
must be k*lled before the day of
judgement let it be the Romans he wants
to reach God's kingdom without having to
die on the way I would die for a cause I
believe it no man wants to die then why
are you going into Jerusalem tonight
knowing that knowing what what everyone
- knows but there are men who wish him
- dead.
It is necessary but the son of man go
into Jerusalem on the Passover suffer at
the hands of the lawyers and the priests
be betrayed and crucified and then
raised on the third day why don't you
ever say directly that you are he Judas
stop asking questions and ask
I want to believe I do believe but we're
young there are many paths service ahead
and a lot to do here and now I can't
help thinking that is a Jew you could
use the powers we've all witness to help
other jurors like Barabbas who fight the.
Romans you think too much to do this and
feel too little
but that is as it should be
I have given you in the other certain
powers use that power will and I'm
asking you to help me use it to
strengthen the unity of the Jews against
the conquerors of Israel I haven't
listened Judas you seem to think that I
have come to bring what you call peace
on earth for you the earth is Israel the
only enemy Rome
you must think in broader terms Judas
you have all been with me for a long
time seeing what I have seen misery
corruption vengeance there will be no
peace yet nation shall rise against
nation Kingdom against Kingdom there
will be earthquakes famines pestilences
fearful signs from heaven.
I'm quoting you master I want to give
you an eloquence and a wisdom that your
enemies will not be able to resist will
not be easy
you must be secure in heart you will be
alone betrayed by your friends even by
your family
you are the master of the house but you
should have asked me why Ruth I've never
touched your hospitality Passover is a
family feast why take risks some people
are worth living risks well and he is
one of them what do you think will
happen if they find him here I didn't
happen if something had to happen Jacob
every child in the street knows what
Jesus did in the temple and to you among
others it's Pesach rules please what do
you think what happened they find him
here
you'll be arranged yes perhaps you'll
find humor in ruin no but something
inside me finds a certain joy in his
words every time I hear him speak it's
like an illumination what prophets a man
- to gain the whole world and lose his.
- soul.
Before I became your disciple I knew a
lot of the people who are now your
enemies when we came to Jerusalem I
didn't think they'd recognize me but
they did the first death attempt would
they tried to talk to me I know how I
saw them well why didn't you tell me why
you confuse me why do you think I've
been trying to stir up your anger over
what happening Galilee to turn me back
to Galilee now yes I've seen you angry
before
why not now of all my disciples
I've sometimes felt closest to you
because you've understood my words best
what do you expected me Judas is so much
and so little life here instead of life
eternal through my death do you think
you can change that my sick and yours
I shall neither stop you know what judge
you
what do you mean I'd rather die I know
that to come each of you will make your
way into the city so is not to attract
attention this is most important nothing
must happen until the seder is over
each of you will make your way to the
well Peter will be waiting there to take
you to the Seder go now
and be careful
the truth Nicodemus is that something
will have to be done about this
troublemaker from Galilee Joseph of.
Arimathea and I are not the only members
of the Sanhedrin who have seen their
wrong in Jesus apart from a few
departures from the Torah a few allow me
I have studied the law longer than any
of you so I begin breaking the sabbath
placing himself above family loyalties
exploiting the words of the prophets
which he knows and quotes without fault
contributing to public panic by
predicting the end of the world
vandalizing the temple and using magic
tricks to seduce gullible people who
need miracles and you see no wrong in
these things if the angel saved isaac
and the walls fell down at Joshua's
trumpet and laws has brought the plagues
on Egypt why shouldn't miracles happen
because those were ancient times and who
knows what happened this is today now
modern times in Jerusalem face reality
we're a conquered people Nicodemus the
miracle we need has nothing to do with
making wine out of water from the
miracles and you know how things get
exaggerated he's done they'd be little
more than most of us have done at one
time or another when was the last time
you claimed to be the Messiah
don't you control your son's Talent.
Aaron please I know forgive me Father
good person gentlemen there was a Roman
officer at the gate awhile ago asking
questions about what he was particularly
interested in Jesus did he say why I
thought you'd like to know so I asked
him and he answered me with a question
where is Yeshua bara Yosef imperfect.
Hebrew would you tell him the truth
what else that I don't know but no Roman
ever believes a Jew
been talking about him for the last hour
have you ever seen him I've also heard
him speak where Jesus crime is not in
his claim that he is Messiah the
prophets tell us to expect one in these
years the blasphemy is in his heresy and
that is so monstrous that even where a a
model Jew and all other respects it
would damn him
whatever see I'm aware of no heresy
because you are not a religious scholar.
Nicodemus heresy the demands the
understanding of the religious scholar
can hardly be serious the voice of the
felissa that's enough better you try to
understand on the day of judgment how
will the one and only God blessed be his
name judge us by our faith in Him no you
are as wrong as he is judgment depends
on what you do the way you conduct your
life every day God judges you for your
honesty your charity your love for your
family your obedience to his law hey
faith in itself is not enough every
every Jew believes in God you have to
work for his judgment Jesus says the
same thing he says to feed the hungry to
clothe the naked to take care of the
sick where is the heresy the heresy is
that he claims the power to forgive sin
only God has that power
he says along with the other radicals
that the Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath and in this he
is putting himself above the law which.
God has given us and above all he says
believe in me and you will be saved
don't you understand if if you are a
thief a whore a m*rder*r
if you dishonor your father and your
mother just repent of your sin and he
will forgive you believe in him and you
will be saved not believe in the law
I'm gonna pay the law can be saved but
him he is cutting at the very heart of.
Judaism their old manuscripts and sacred
books predict one just about now no one
really believes in it but since his
arrival signals the end of the world
aspiring messiahs like Jesus tend to
make the Jews a little nervous but is he
a criminal they're lawyers and rabbis
take a poor view of him a strange
feeling have given the proper
encouragement they might even charge him
with blasphemy I don't know
the juhi one must also have violated.
Roman law or at least appeared to answer
there's an old political device Tullius
it's called a fixed trial this report
says that he calls himself King King of
the Jews that's not bad and could be
- ready sedition it's only one King and
- that season.
But what if he is the Messiah how could
he be the Messiah he's not even a good
Jew what if he is wouldn't that put you
Joseph as the spiritual guide of the
Jewish people in a somewhat delicate
position I don't think we should do him
the honor of allowing him to spoil our.
Passover not to divide us any further we
all agree on that
I hope only it's stayed in Galilee
excuse me master a Roman soldier just
brought this he said he'd wait from.
Pilate he wants to see me at once about
the Passover pardon know about Jesus I'm
sorry I stopped to get this it's a list
of the men who traveled with Jesus Oh
what purpose they may try to help him
escape I tried to find out as much about
them as possible they're mostly
fishermen fishermen gone the tunas Peter
and Andrew are in partnership with James
and John they seem to have employed
several of the others at one time or
another.
Oh Gordon now you know where to get fish

Yaakov Bajal pie occupation unknown
fadia's Hebrew name Levi Barta d*ed

known judas iscariot hebrew name
Yehuda ish carry off comes from a family
of leather workers of the twelve he is
the only one not a Galilean keeps and
dispenses the group's money probably the
brightest of the lot I am the high
priest Joseph Caiaphas
yes rabbi I know the procurator is
expecting you come this way please
I'll wait here he'll understand
understand what that our Jew defiles
himself by entering the home of a.
Gentile I'll be back
you say you want no trouble this.
Passover no demonstrations no fighting
in the streets no we don't and why
haven't you arrested him
we can't during Passover why not I've
seen your temple guards arresting
pickpockets pickpockets yes excellency
this is not quite the same thing
I won't even read it and brought to
trial it's against our Lord to convene
the Sanhedrin for a trial on Passover
you're not obliged to call it a trial.
Thank You excellency but it's more
complicated than that
he has a highly volatile following you
mean revolutionary and dangerous besides
we don't know exactly where he is
if Jesus is what you say is you'll have
someone keeping track of things you'll
find him we have warned him to stay away
from the city have you know on pain of
what you know we Jews are not allowed to
carry out the death sentence right you
can only condemn that's an arrangement
that should suit you rabbi the Romans
take the final guilt upon ourselves
how long have you people been doing
business in the court of the temple I've
600 years hmm it's the center of their
daily life much like a forum in Rome you
don't want him to start another riot do
you of course not
he's not gonna go away rabbi I want you
to arrest him find him guilty and turn
him over to me
guilty of what whatever you wish but
find him guilty excellency I must tell
my people something it should satisfy
your people to know that I am doing this
to prevent bloodshed in their city then
why don't you have your troops arrest
him you know Joseph Caiaphas there are a
dozen men who would give anything to be
appointed high priest in Jerusalem I'm
sure there are excellency as many as
covered your office of procurator in.
Judea I will not warn you a second time
why is Jesus so important to you.
I was only thinking of what could
possibly be to our mutual benefit I
apologize but if you could instruct your
troops to do your work for you is that
it our work excellency besides your men
are so much more efficient than mine
alright I'll strike a bargain with you
you find him you arrest him and my
troops will be there to back up your
temple guards how's it hmm tell me do
you people really believe that Passover
story do you really believe that the Red.
Sea parted so that you could escape the.
Egyptian we escaped excellency
your money whose it event if you steal
it no I believe you I'll give it to me
it belongs to other people oh the
friends of mine that's what I thought
and I know the names of at least one of
course I know yours your Judas Judas
I'll carry on no you're mistaken
no I'm not it pointed you out to me the
other day at the temple what do you want
to know who else is in the city Jesus
for instance I don't know where he is I
swear I don't
the one you'll have to convince the high
priest what possible interest can pilot
have in Jesus if anything Jesus has gone
out of his way not to offend the Romans
I know Pilate he has some devious
purpose in this what you said you'd
think you'd be happy to hand Jesus over
to him Jesus is dividing us with his
fanaticism and anyone who divides us
feeds the Romans if I had not listened
to you and his other so-called friends I
would have had him arrested after the
outrage of the temple done what with him
the right thing by my conscience I would
have had him tried for heresy by a
properly convened Sanhedrin Passover
that does that of a question what will
you do measure I'll try to find him and
if you do find him I will do whatever
has to be done even to handing him over
to Pilate yes.
Nicodemus yes the survival of our people
hangs by a very thin thread and I will
- not have it threatened that much for the
- sake of any one man.
We must see the high priest I'm sorry I
can't disturb him
he has guests important guests do what
you're told and quickly
don't worry it's not you they're after
yes
good place that rabbi unto you I have
someone here I think you'd like to see
who is he
he's one of Jesus disciples we spotted
him coming into the city he was alone
yes what is your name
tell him Judas speak up
Judas of Kiriath rabbi bring him in you
say he is not in the city No
then he is outside the city I don't know
he is making his way into the city is he
not his destination Judas you must know
that I don't why do you refuse to tell
us because I love him you also have your
duty as a Jew he fears he has his duty
what he feels is dividing the Jewish
people at a time when it is desperately
important that they act in unity that
has to be stopped
Judas it's painful to betray what you
love do you think that a god-fearing Jew
be it you or any other should lie to his
spiritual leaders good Jesus love no
then do is he what will he do to him
that must be for us to decide
if his destiny is to be betrayed by one
of his own it's right it should fall
upon me I've already committed that sin
in my mind even today he was trying to
tell me and now I understand my only
concern is not to protect myself but him
until the Seder is over it is what he
wants and I have the power to do it by
striking a bargain with you a bargain is
that really what it comes down to I
assure you you will be rewarded for your
service I don't want any reward I can't
tell you where he is because I truly
don't know yet but someone is waiting to
take me to him
and if you detain me any longer that
person will go and I'll have no way of
finding him and if you release me but
insist on having me followed I shall
refuse to go and nothing you can do
before me that much for you will I still
have you're free to go
We must see the high priest I'm sorry I
can't disturb him
he has guests important guests do what
you're told and quickly
don't worry it's not you they're after
yes
good Pesach rabbi to you I have someone
here I think you'd like to see who is he
he's one of Jesus disciples we spotted
him coming into the city
he was alone yes what is your name
tell him Judas speak up
Judas of Kiriath rabbi bring him here
you say he is not in the city no then he
is outside the city I don't know he is
making his way into the city is he not
his destination Judas you must know that
I don't why do you refuse to tell us
because I love him you also have your
duty as a Jew he fears he has his duty
what he fears is dividing the Jewish
- people at a time when it is desperately
- important that they act in unity that.
Has to be stopped
Judas it's painful to betray what you
love do you think that a god-fearing Jew
biet you or any other should lie to his
spiritual leaders would Jesus love no
then do is he what will he do to him
that must be for us to decide if his
destiny is to be betrayed by one of his
own it's right it should fall upon me
I've already committed that sin in my
mind even today he was trying to tell me
and now I understand
my only concern is not to protect myself
but him until the Seder is over it is
what he wants and I have the power to do
it by striking a bargain with you a
bargain is that really what it comes
down to I assure you you will be
rewarded for your service I don't want
any reward I can't tell you where he is

someone is waiting to take me to him and
if you detain me any longer that person

him and if you release me but insist on
having me followed I shall refuse to go
and nothing you can do will force me not

and lead you to him I think we can
whatever you may think of me I trust you
to see I'm not follow trust trouble
no just clowns you're the last one
why did you insist on coming to.
Jerusalem tonight since I was first
taken to the synagogue
and since the days when I was a child
and helped my mother carry water from
the world in Nazareth it was only to be
here tonight every man has a destiny
there's no denying it you will have a
destiny Peter it will sweep you along
like the tide sweeps the sand and if
your enemies succeed in destroying you
alive fine but a voice for the few and
death I should be the light for many do
you want to die then

unless a grain of wheat falls to the
earth and dies it remains alone but only
if it dies but it bear fruit.

for every hug avatar deny hello hey new.
MELAS how long for every hagatha
borrow a car tonight
hello hey new fella how la Vecchia Manu
blessed art thou return allow God King
of the universe who created the fruit of
the earth
this is the bread of affliction which
our forefathers ate in the land obedient
magic
don't you wonder why this night is
different from all other nights yes
grandfather so why did you ask
why is this night different from all
other nights
slaves we were under fear from the land
of Egypt on all other nights we made
either leavened bread or unleavened this
we may eat only
unlevel eat it as they followed Moses
who made our tribes a holy nation they
loved it by God it is called the bread
of affliction
because our people left Egypt in such
haste the women have no time to live
under breath and we eat bitter herbs to
remind us that our peoples bondage in
Egypt is better and we eat lamb in the
body of which no bone has been broken
because it symbolizes Israel hold and
undivided the day when I can leave the
sandbox of it country I can't imagine
why I find it so fascinating mmm there's
an atmosphere the gods of an ancient
people the prophets of Israel you almost
expect to see one of them coming around
the corner did you know that at their.
Passover ritual the Jews always save an
empty place for the prophet Elijah these
they want to prophesied the coming of
the Messiah they mean that they believe
it very literal religion are you
implying we don't believe telling us no
I'm afraid we don't My dear lady no
fashionable Roman seriously worships the
gods anymore
if you've conquered the world and we
have you don't need the gods
we need them even more how many
countries have we conquered in the name
of our God's how many people have we
slaughtered in the name of our God how
many slaves
how many of their synagogues have been
destroyed by how many conquerors hmm and
according to Jesus of Nazareth the.
Temple in Jerusalem is about to be
leveled to the ground that prediction
hasn't made him very popular with his
fellow Jews good to destroy their
temples their heads you can't cut off
that many heads can you dear
someone's gonna try to sooner or later
that God's they're stubborn people
excellency from the high priest Caiaphas.
Jesus of Nazareth is in the city one of
his disciples will deliver him to us
tonight at raided and why should the
Jews be immune to treachery any more
than we are
how many men should I detail that
doesn't Oh ten should be enough that was
merely matching numbers Jesus has it
doesn't minus one
hear me now I wanted to spend this.
Passover with you because it will be my
last I will not eat of bread and whom a
prophecy of Elijah is fulfilled and the
kingdom of God is here
eat this this is my body which will be
sacrificed for your sick
drink this
this is my blood which is shed for you
so that you may be saved
from this moment on I will not drink of
the fruit of the vine until I have
suffered and the kingdom of heaven has
come
Thomas
do it as my memorial but it's only bread
and wine this is a new covenant a bond
between us that will last forever you
receive this you were receiving me
listen to me and understand what I say
now so that the prophecies may be
fulfilled I tell you that one who eats
bread with me will lift up his heel
against me I'll tell you this before it
happens so that when it happens you may
know that I am he
one of you will betray me is one of you
12
he knows must
is it me
you have said it
I need to hear it from you you were like
no man I've ever known
that's why I thought in the beginning
you were the Messiah the Messiah come to
free us from Roman domination
I no longer believe this
I don't believe the Roman domination
means anything to you at all but if it
did and you were truly the Messiah you
would sweep them from ala and the Tran
comes you will do what you have to do
it's so quiet up there do you think
they've gone not yet.
Oh Jacob I wish they would you think of
me as your master and Lord can you think
well so I am now if I your Lord wash
your feet should you not wash each
other's feet by my example should you
not do for each other and I have done
for you I'm speaking to you with love
that is my new commandment to you love
one another in that way all people for
all time will know my disciples by their
love for one another
you're leaving us and yet there's still
time for us to get away together we
could go to Bethany
or eat bread no I will not go to Bethany
or Ephraim I did not come here tonight
to returned to Galilee understand all of
you prophecy must be fulfilled
do what you have to do quickly what
should I do with this
listen of mine give it to the poor
where's he going didn't you hear to give
arms to the pole
I am the way I am the truth
and I am life in my father's house there
are many mansions I'm about to go there
for the very purpose of preparing a
place for you yes I once scooted the
high priest I was here earlier he is
expecting me I'm sorry I can't disturb
him now he's celebrating Passover he'll
want to talk to me
did you find him
yes what is he at the house of jacket
the merchant head on you must hurry our.
Seder is almost over perhaps as is to go
to the temples tell the guys we are
ready I said where the palette of the
times come look father I'd rather not be
involved you are involved like the rest
of us like it or not they're going to
arrest Jesus how do you know that mandy
was the earlier he's come back to tell
the rabbi where they could find him what
are you going I'm leaving Jerusalem
going home you can't I need you when we
question him you'll be able to tell us
if he speaks the truth I couldn't do
that I've told you where you can find
him that's all I'm gonna do I just don't
want to face him you have nothing to be
ashamed of you still don't understand I
loved him I probably still do I'm only
doing this because it's dangerous for
all of us to letting go on this way I'm
sorry do this but you must be with us
good night
do this
stop him you didn't have to do that
don't provoke them there's nothing you
can do.
Tyler why don't you come to bed because
I'm not I come in
a messenger has come from Caiaphas
they found Jesus good be sure that it is
technically the Jews who make the arrest
and that he is sent to the high priests
house he must not be brought here I
understand sir
and if there's resistance what do you
order there you have my permission to
k*ll as many Jews as you think necessary
keep me informed of course attend shut
quick march.
Oh
who goes there that's a giver King her
is he blind that he can't see it's a
middle tonight - your majesty he insists
that his orders were to report to you
personally no matter the time there's no
respect in the city no respect in Judea
no man in Galilee would dare disturb me
at this hour no sir not only is in no
respect but the air is foul the streets
are choked with people yes quite right
mister there are beggars everywhere
flies in the marketplace well what is it.
My Orders are to report immediately any
unusual happenings in Jerusalem during
the week of Passover particularly where
they're concerned the Romans Pilate
what's he up to in the middle of the
night that makes it important to wake me
he was visited this afternoon by the
high priest are you sure yes your
majesty
I find it hard to believe that the high
priest would soil himself by entering
the house of a Gentile he was in the
courtyard your majesty
I saw him go in and I waited for him to
come out just a little while ago the.
Centurion abenader
marched out with a platoon of Roman
soldiers and I overheard their
conversation they were on their way to
the house of the high priest it's
amazing isn't it perhaps we shall see
the day when Jews and Gentiles will be
scrubbing each other's backs in the
public baths what else did you overhear
they were going to rest the one known as
Jesus of Nazareth so the Nazarene has
finally forced their hand just as the.
Baptist forced mine don't report back
all you see in here.
I would take it all back now if I could
I dream and dream but I tell you I would
rather have the Baptist standing in the.
Jordan River shouting his insanities to
the world than lying in my memory as he
does I had his head you know the head of.
John the Baptist on a silver platter and
there was dancing drinking salmon Lee
it's amazing isn't it what a man will do
for a woman what's this money for what
30 pieces of silver do you think I've
done this for money
Judas you don't know the prophecies
Zechariah predicted the Shepherd to be
handed over for 30 pieces of silver
keeping Jesus is living by the
prophecies I intend to follow his
example that may have been a lot of
money in Zacharias day but now it's a
pittance the price of a sl*ve give it to
the synagogue it's blood money give it
to the pot Oh keeps that lamb for a free.
Cemetery and by some poor person a grave
no Judas it's yours
take them to him you'll have to drag me
drag him you will lead them to him and
you will point him out do you understand
do you understand bring him my orders
out of a couple of your men not to
interfere in the arrests only if there's
resistance way to take action Aaron
let's rock
I want you to go with them but you knew
how I go with them
which house
where's why have you broken into my
house in the middle of the night well
they gone I told you I don't know where
it is Jesus of Nazareth we know he was
here Aaron see you doing here I love you
three to come in so we've looked
upstairs the Nazarene is not in the
house he'll just tell us where he is
you'll save us all a lot of trouble I
don't know that's the truth I told you
this would happen you know
tell us where they went Judas you don't
want to be at this all night perhaps
perhaps he ran back to Galilee in the
middle of the night
perhaps you're in Tibetan eo8 from
gasps Emily the hill with the Olive.
Press Telstra torches.
I don't where they sleep then how do you
mock warning No
My name is Mary Mary of Magdala I was
told I could find Jesus of Nazareth here
I know no bit about that name I'm sorry
I'm sorry I bothered you this late with
manual searching for yes is he a friend
of yours a friend yes yes yes
it has been prophesied that I will be
recorded among the criminals that is
about to happen you will be hated and
persecuted because of me you will be put
to the test pray that you will be strong
now I must be alone maybe watch with you
watch and pray take
oh the hour has come
I've glorified you on earth I finished
the work you gave for me to do it I've
made your name known to the men whom you
gave me out of this world now they know
that all your gifts have come to me from
you and they now speak your word and now
I'm coming to you
but while I'm still in this world
I ask that you protect by the power of
your name all those whom you have given
me that they may be one as we are one
for as you have sent me so also have I
said them and for theirs like I
consecrate myself that they too may be
consecrated by the truth and it is not
for these alone I pray I follow all
those who have faith in me may they all
be as one as you Father are in me and I
in you
so also may they be in us that the world
may believe that you did sell me
all of the hour has come
glorify me as I have glorified you
Peter Peter
aren't you able to keep awake with me
even for one hour I know the Spirit is
willing but the flesh is weak
this class for me Simon
not you
no not as I will
what is you which one of these men is
Jesus of Nazareth which one.
I am Jesus well what are you waiting for
take him yeah
put down your sword you have me you let
the others go let them go where do you
want them taken my father's house
haven't I taught you that those who live
by the sword shall perish by the sword
don't you know that I could pray to my
father in legions of angels would defend
me.
Open the gate are you asleep you look
familiar to me haven't I seen you with
Jesus when he was preaching couldn't
have I never heard him preach
my father-in-law has a great curiosity
about this man I would like to see him
before we begin as you say was there any
resistance one of them used a sword.
Jesus stopped him good he said those who
live by the sword shall die by the sword
and you were impressed yes I was if only
it were true those who live by the sword
k*ll those without swords and live on
before my son Allah was appointed by.
Pontius Pilate I served for many years
as high priest I have wondered and still
wonder what makes a young man like you
those as the savior of the whole world
are you deranged we have been told that
you are highly intelligent well versed
in the lower not given to extravagance
or indulgence in the grave we understand
that you are unmarried and we have the
single report of any scandal about you
we do know that you associate with
prostitutes but you've never been known
to take clearly personal human interest
in any other is that true the first
shall be last and the last shall be
first ah so you can speak after all but
what does that mean the first shall be
last and the last shall be first it
means that prostitutes will go into
heaven before you I can see that you
were not given to flattery or diplomacy
indeed it is your mouth that has fetched
you here tonight tell me Jesus of.
Nazareth why do you teach heresy
I have spoken openly for all the world
could listen I had spoken in the
synagogue meetings and in the temple and
in the open country why do you question
me question those who heard what I said
they know what I said I was wrong and
speaking this way then prove me wrong
if I was right why do you strike me no
let him be
you you're one of them
no I'm not your mistake the rabbi's
expecting your gentle this man was with
him even his clothes a Galilean
I don't know what you're talking about I
don't
I'm tired is not a common thievery
Jesus of Nazareth the question of
blasphemy has been raised in connection
with your preaching have you anything to
say nothing at all well let us proceed
honorable men of the Sun Hunter here is
a man who is supposedly against v*olence
a man who teaches brotherly love and as
such he comes to Jerusalem and what is
one of the first things he does this man
of LA he goes to the temple this man of
peace this man of non-v*olence and he
overturns the tables of the money
changers and the benches and cages of
the Dove sellers he fashions a flip-out
of court and he lashes them out of the
court of the temple the merchants the
sheep the lambs a cattle and throughout
it all he is shouting insanely would you
tell this august body exactly what it
was you were screaming if you are able
to remember that is you have turned my
father's house into a marketplace his
father's house can you imagine that
because our Holy Temple his father's
house this carpenter from Galilee was
known to associate with prostitutes and
collectors of Roman taxes and all manner
of other disreputable people cause our.
Holy Temple his father's house but that
really isn't a surprising as might sound
first hearing considering the fact that
he also claims to have the power to
forgive sins thereby bestowing upon
himself a power our faith reserves to.
God alone
but neither is that all altogether
surprising since he also claims to heal
the sick raise the dead give sight to
the blind feed thousands upon a few
loaves and fishes and walk on water but
why not since he refers to himself as
the Son of God what is the meaning of it.
I ask what is the meaning of this
welcome Nicodemus I'm happy you could
join us happy I could join you is that
the reason I was not informed of these
proceedings please be seated
let us continue I demand to know why I
was not informed there was no time to
notify everyone no time will you please
is my friend Joseph of arimathea
present osullivan Mordecai Johnathan
deal and Micah as a ramp there was no
time to inform anyone who might disagree
with you there are many men on this out.
Hedren who I'm not here will you sit
down
we have important business to take care
of.
Yes you are doing now what you have
wanted to do for a very long time how
many times have you sent men to trap him
and how many times have they returned as
I did impressed with his knowledge of
the law his philosophy is the truth how
many times sit down Nicodemus sit down I
tell you
but as I would like to leave a shame I
will not leave I will remain here on
behalf of the many of our membership who
will ask how could this happen shall we
hear the evidence I saw him eating with
sinners with tax collectors and whores I
became very angry did you speak to him
about it yes I questioned him as to why
he did so he said it is not the healthy
who need a doctor but the sick he said
he had not come to heal the virtuous but
sinners he said it is not what those
into the mouth that makes a man unclean
it is what comes out of the mouth that
makes him unclean he did and he said
that things had come out of the mouth
come from the heart and from the heart
come evil intensions m*rder adultery
theft perjury and slander but these are
the things that make a man unclean and
but to eat with unwashed hands does not
make a man unclean and he said that the.
Sabbath was made for man not man for the.
Sabbath and he said that he himself is
master of the Sabbath I was there when a
woman with a bad name in her town came
to him she had been a prost*tute for
many years I heard him tell her that her
sins were forgiven
tell us please do you know this man now
standing here charged with blasphemy yes
I know you don't know him well but tell
us what do you know of him I was in a
synagogue on the Sabbath when Jesus of.
Nazareth came to teach would you tell us
please what he taught in your synagogue
on that Sabbath day I don't remember or
he don't know what I remember it's a
mustard seed the mustard seed he came to
your synagogue to teach about mustard
seeds he said that that's for the
kingdom of God is like he said the
kingdom of God is like a mustard seed
yes the kingdom of God is like a mustard
seed everybody not the mustard seed is
the smallest of all seeds hey once each
soul in the earth grows it's a big list
the boy becomes a tree Jesus of Nazareth
made an impression I can tell you not
just in me okay everybody that was there
in what way did he make an impression
apart that is from thee the story of the
mustard seed Jim well you see he wasn't
like the preachers that we are used you
know
she taught with authority
she taught us coming from him I mean not
as if it just be recited out to some old
scroll but we understand that you had
some more particular reason to be
grateful to this man would you tell us
about that thing my soul was possessed
at time possessed of an unclean spirit
and Jesus cleanse me what do you mean
but I mean that the unclean spirit that
was in me shout it at Jesus
through my mouth he choked it and said
to him what do you want with us Jesus of.
Nazareth have you come to destroy us
you mean you said it unclean spirits
said it then then Jesus said be quiet
come out of him but they tell me that I
fell down and went into convulsions and
the unclean spirit gave a loud cry and
left
what you have just described is sorcery
sir would you like he did more for me
than anyone else Rivlin he creams me
you mean II work magic on you.
I had to do it no no I had to I never
wanted the money
123
no none that's wrong you missed out
again a 1 23 yeah take it at all the
law states that no bargain is complete
until each party has position of the
merchandise and I heard him say I have a
power to destroy the temple of God and
in three days build it up are you
certain you heard him say that yes
did you alone hear it or were there
others in your presence many others
heard him do you deny that you sure bar
yourself I asked you directly
are you the Anointed One the son of God
the words are your own I adjure you by
the Living God tell us outright are you
the Messiah the son of God I am my
father and I are one.
Aurel I tell you that from now on you
will see the Son of man sitting at the
right hand of God and coming toward you
on the clouds of heaven the nun says he
is equal with God it makes himself equal
with the Almighty Himself
you will be taken to Pontius Pilate to
be sentenced.
I don't understand he didn't have to say
it I already condemned himself
what are you doing up here Gloria
couldn't go back to sleep I have made
the bed how I'm gonna take a crowd of.
Jews to make a case against this man
I dreamed about him about who Jesus I
hope you lived it all went smoothly
I dreamed he was a God come to earth did
you really do that
when they bring him here let him go let
him go he's an innocent man what's wrong
with you have nothing to do with him you
you'll regret it otherwise I'll regret
it all right no Claudia I'm sick of
tired of your dreams and superstitions I
understand it but it comes from one of
the servants but you're the educated
daughter of a senator maybe they are old
dreams and Porter's but I believe in our
gods and you believe in nothing.
I believe in the might and power of Rome
that's what I believe in you believe in
nothing
done
where are the others are they coming
normal own
is his mother here yes she came
yesterday from Nazareth John I haven't
seen you for so long
how's my son is he well what is it
what's wrong Mary they took him last
night they arrested him but it's.
Passover who could have done that
it was Caiaphas and the temple guards
the high priest and the Romans do what
would they do to him
I don't know but at the Sator he spoke
of leaving us
he said that where he was going we
couldn't follow when they wanted to
stone my son in Nazareth in his own
village I had a premonition the Romans
don't stone people Romans crucify it's
not certain for the Passover act of
mercy pilot will releases one Jewish
prisoner it will not be my son who is
pardoned when he was a baby
Joseph and I brought him to the temple
in Jerusalem to make the offering a pair
of turtledoves for our firstborn son
there was a holy man called Simeon in
the temple he blessed us and he said to
me your son is destined for the fall and
rise of many in Israel and to be a sign
which men reject and you too shall be
pierced to the heart.
John they're going to crucify myself
Ah.
You
bus bus bus.
Thank You toys if it please the
procurator to his Imperial Majesty.
Tiberius Caesar the high priest in the.
Sanhedrin requests your endorsement of
the sentence
they are also desirous that the sentence
be ex*cuted this day before the hour of
their Sabbath their Sabbath
can you imagine a whole nation that
takes one day off every seven days
because their God commands it tell them
to wait I'll be down in my own time.
ELISA do this the great Sanhedrin in its
wisdom and concern for justice has found
guilty of blasphemy one Jesus of.
Nazareth sorcerer false prophet an enemy
of Rome who has deceived the people by
pretending to be King of the Jews what
arrogance the high priest is waiting for
you in the courtyard said well all we
need now is the mob screaming Barabbas
they'll be here it's early yet by the
seventh out of court head will be jammed
- if I believed in the gods I'd say that
- they were smiling on me.
You have the prisoner with you we find
him guilty of subverting our nation he
calls himself the Messiah and makes
himself equal with God
what is his offence against Rome if this
man were not a criminal we should not be
handing him over to you what is his
crime against Rome
if there is no provocation you must deal
with him yourselves only you have the
power to execute if this particular case
does not sit well with you perhaps you
should take it to Caesar that is your
suggestion I'm merely reminding you that
it is Caesar's law that forbids Jew to
execute Jew only Romans can do that what
is his crime against Rome I need a
convincing answer from you he calls
himself our King any man claiming to be.
King is guilty of sedition against Rome.
I'll see him inside
tomorrow morning all this will be
finishing we go back to Caesar Lea hi
can't wait
we should have to start preparations
tomorrow for Caesars visit one more
demonstration like this morning and
he'll be visiting Mia by next post some
cannibal Island on the far side of where
dragon is be you're not at all what I
expected they tell me you call yourself
the King of the Jews are you the King of
the Jews do you think I am what did you
hear it said of me by others if you are
a king perhaps I am a Jew your own High.
Priest has had to do over to him as his
king what have you to say to that my
kingdom is not of this world
but you are a king I am King to this
purpose I was born and for this purpose
I came into the world to give testimony
to the truth only he who is open to the
truth can hear my voice
what is true you know I have the power
to set you for you and the power to
crucify you you have no power whatever
to harm me unless my father gives it to
you
who are you
they didn't even ask me to spare him do
you think Claudia could possibly be
right pursue positions in the play
ability she wants woke me out of a sound
sleep and said that one of the gods I
forgot enrichment had spoken to her in a
dream and said that we must both get up
and walk around the bed for long time
I protest brought me nothing can you see
it my wife and I in the middle of the
night walking around the bed four times
I thought that perfect well I never did
- get back to sleep I even nothing as I
- believed in nothing.
In my youth I worshiped all the gods I
never saw a single sign that one of them
even heard me so I stopped begging the
gods success marriage glory she had the
money and the connections and I became
us insists at once well for this trouble
with Barabbas ardian trying to let this
creature go wasn't John the Baptist also
a Galilean yes.
Herod had his head cut off Herod yeah
he's here for the Passover isn't he yes
I'm going to let Herod deal with this
this man is technically under his
jurisdiction
let him wrestle with it to what end
because I think it would be politic but
if he condemns the man all you off to
the crowd instead of Barabbas forgive me
your excellency but I think you're
allowing your wife's superstitions to
cloud your judgment thank you
we're Abbess went disappear it doesn't
matter what you do I can detect no guilt
in this man.
I decided to send him to Herod he has
the authority to pass judgment as to
whether or no he seditious and to
sentence him.
I've been used I understand what he's
doing but he is using us for his own
ends
what will you do if Herod simply sends
him back you do look at dark side of
things that you missed what will you do
I'll face that when it happens
you're playing a dangerous game I've
been a soldier for a long time.
Servian have I ever lost a battle
and Pilate has sent him to me
apparently sodium it's unusually
diplomatic of him wouldn't you say
indeed your majesty were that visited
bring the prisoner and the high priest
to me it's a good reason why I should
hear this case I believe there is a good
reason why I should not generate a stir
hmm.
Galilee is this man's home province you
are the Tetrarch of Galilee he has a
certain following and I suggest that you
run the risk of antagonizing a great
many of your loyal subjects any other
suggestion Your Majesty I suggest that
as the case against this man and the
evidence has come from Jerusalem let him
me book before you as a token of respect
for the Romans then send him back to.
Pilate
yet the earnest of his death if his
death is what they want rest upon the.
High Priest here in Jerusalem and I'm.
Pontius Pilate himself Lucy
I've heard much about you I would be
very happy to witness a simple
demonstration of your wonderful power
small feat of magic perhaps and not a
big miracle a small miracle would do you
can do nothing here's a false prophet it
might help your case if you are more
cooperative he has been found guilty of
blasphemy I don't care if your charges
and McGarrett ease my friends want to
see this man perform I want to see
things from this man that I've never
seen before
your prisoner not only refuses to
perform for me but he has the ill grace
to refuse to reply when I speak to him
you will perform one small miracle for
us won't you you can hear me can't you
okay
is he deaf no he hasn't definite
certainly isn't mute don't you
understand I am a king your behavior is
in the front to Royal dignity he also
claims to be a king King you're a king
of nothing and a monarch of no one
what a ridiculous Kenya Mack.
Herod sent him back you were right
once I wish you were wrong and don't
remind me what I should have done with
the rebels what now now that I've left
my flank exposed I've got to make a
change in my battle plan
are you ready
it's time to do better
well the troopers is what
citizens of Jerusalem in compliance with
the Concordat signed with the Hebrew
people by the Roman administration Rome
has agreed to free one prisoner found
guilty of a capital offense this must be
done during the Feast of the Passover
this year it is the pleasure of His.
Excellency Pontius Pilate procurator of.
Judea to let the people make the choice
this bar server the governor wishes you
to choose between two prisoners Jesus of.
Nazareth known to you as you're sure by
yourself charged with sedition and.
Barabbas of Jerusalem insurrection.
P forever I will not free to prisoner.
Barabbas is to be crucified
if I even go what am I to do with this
man come across with him give us.
Barabbas
what
yeah this is your cake
this man go you are no friend to Caesar
any man who claims to be a king defies
Caesar so I am to crucify your king we
have no king but Caesar.
I wash my hands of it free Barabbas
that's enough
Jesus yeah
you yes you pick it up and carry it pick
it up and carry it move.
Oh.
Christmas bamboo go through yeah
take this come on come on
hurry is it accomplished accomplished I
want no more accusations from you I'm
