"There's a crowd at the Temple, a disturbance." "They're always squabbling." "Merchants fighting over pitches." "Keep an eye, but first find me the killer." "And, Marcus..." "When you're searching, let the people see who's in charge of Jerusalem." " No sign of Pilate's men?" " They've gone to the Lower City." "Good." "We'll do as Caiaphas said and arrest him quietly." "If you'll listen to my teaching, you will know the truth." "And the truth will set you free." "Teacher..." "I have a question." "You teach your thoughts about God's will for His people." "Then tell us, is it right to pay taxes to Rome, or should we refuse to pay?" "Show me the coin you use." " Whose face is this?" " Caesar's." "Then give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar..." "And give to God what belongs to God." "Not so clever now with your trick questions." "I want witnesses." "Search everywhere!" "You're all deaf and blind, are you?" " I'll help you see." " Sir!"

"Does he leave the 99 on the hillside or seek out the one who's lost?" "Of course not." " You guard the 99 more closely." " You hope the lost one comes back." "See, a good shepherd searches out the one who has strayed." "And leave the 99 for one?" "Joseph of Arimathea, you know this man?" " If the shepherd..." " I've heard him before." "Very beautiful, the way he puts things." "Beautiful?" "He wasn't very beautiful this morning." "... than all the others that were never lost." "What authority do you have to throw out these honest merchants?" "I'm honoured by my audience." "My authority comes from the one who sent me." " The one who is always with me." " How can someone send you and always be with you?" "He sends me but never leaves me." "Children's riddles, hmm?" "You mean this little one understands..." "But you don't?" "It's true." "But she isn't allowed inside the Temple." "She's unclean." "It's the law." "And her?" "You know she's a sinner." "So she should be turned away from the Father's house?" "Is that the love you show your own children?" "Can you really believe God loves his children less than you?" "You seek out the pious, you turn away the sinners." "But I tell you, there's more joy in heaven over a sinner who changes than all the burnt offerings at Temple." "You're against sacrifice?" "I believe in sacrifice..." "Of a different kind." "I've not come to overthrow the law, but to complete it." "You must learn the way of compassion." "A question then, on the law." "Of all God's Commandments, which is the greatest?" "God's law?" "Simple." "Love the Lord your God with all your heart... all your soul, all your strength." "And love your neighbour as yourself." "To love like that is a greater sacrifice than any amount of burnt offerings." "You're not far from the truth." "Coming from a carpenter..." "That's a beautiful thing to say." "Yes, words, words, words." "But he still hasn't answered my question." "Why should anyone listen to him?" "Because I've not come to judge you, but to save you." "Imagine the tenants of a vineyard." "When harvest time comes..." "The owner sends his only son to collect his share." "The tenants say to each other," ""This is the owner's son." ""Come on, let's kill him and we'll get his inheritance."" "So they grab the son and torture him." "They kill him and they throw him out of the vineyard." "Now what will the owner do to these tenants?" "He'll punish them without mercy and rent the vineyard to new tenants." "In the same way, unless you give to God His true harvest, the keys to the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to others." "Like this little one." "Look, this, this is your brother..." "Annas." "Too many people to arrest him." "See, we're not her masters." "We're her servants." "Come on." "Is that him?" "Right, get her out!" "She knows him." "His name is Jesus Barabbas." "Pilate's men," " they've found the killer." " A bandit." "He isn't one of the Galileans?" " You're sure?" " They've left the Temple." "The crowd was too big to arrest him." "Even so, find this informer of yours." "There's something else." "Joseph of Arimathea knows Jesus." "Bring him as well, see what he can tell us." "What does this man want?" " It's true." " What's true?" "Then who will protect you, Matthew?" "In the Temple this morning we didn't hesitate, we drew our swords." " So what?" " What are you talking about?" "Ask these two." "Are we your most trusted leaders?" "Why?" "What makes you two so special?" "John, you call me leader, but I'm your servant." "If you're to spread my message, first you must be a servant to others." "I don't want my disciples to be known by their wealth or their status." "In my eyes, the greatest among you is the one who is most humble." "I want you to be known by the love you show each other." "Your mother's here." " At the gate?" " I'll bring her in to eat." "She's come all this way." "I want to be alone with her." "He talks about love, but then his own mother?" "What do you know about it?" "This morning his men drew their swords." "Jesus is not violent." "He's not one of these killers." "What is he then?" "He attacks the money lenders, talks about the elders being evicted like bad tenants." " Stories are strangely threatening." " He's a Rabbi." "He speaks in the synagogues in Galilee." "His speeches, his actions." "They inflame others." "He talks to lepers and prostitutes about knowing God." "Prostitutes, exactly." " Does he respect Temple rules?" " Of course." "He's paid his Temple Tax." "He's here to celebrate Passover." "Why not have him come to you?" "Listen to what he's saying." "I should discuss God with a carpenter?" "Jesus believes he's our new King." "And you?" "What do you believe?" "We should hear him out." "I agree." "We can." "But a man like this... does he listen to anyone else?" "You must be hungry?" "You've come all this way alone?" " I'll have someone walk back with you." " What you did today, in the Temple." " You have to trust me." " Trust you?" "I never asked for you." "You were in my belly before I knew." "What if Joseph had said "No," ""I'm not gonna marry you now?" What then?" "I was barely a woman." "I loved you against the world." "There's nothing you can teach me, Jesus... about trusting in God's will." "Your brothers say you're out of your mind." " You'll be killed if you continue." " You think I don't wonder?" "Do you think I don't wonder?" "When I pray..." "I hear His voice and I think to myself," ""Can this be my father,"... asking these things of me, "My father who loves me?"" " And?" " You know it is." "He asks everything of me." "I'm his only son!" "Do you want anything?" "Is there anything I can do?" "You've already done so much." "That Joseph could be drawn in..." "Seduced." "For generations our families have ruled Judaea, wisely." "The people will trust us," " not some desert preacher..." " No, he's not..." "No matter how enchanting he seems." "You've always looked after us." "The people know that." "Have you heard from Pilate?" "Prefect." "The tax collector's purse." "Good." "Good work." "And the prisoner," " what's his name?" " Jesus Barabbas." "Break him." "See if he's part of a gang, or hopes to lead an insurrection." "Get their names, but do it quickly, otherwise they'll escape the city," " if they haven't already." " Yes, Prefect." " Will you have him crucified?" " Of course." "Judaeans need a few crucifixions... lest they forget." "Can you not talk to him?" "Jesus believes this is his destiny." "And you?" "I believe in him." "It's easy to believe when you're young." "He'll need you." "A lot of long faces tonight." "What about you, Judas?" "Do you believe in me?" "We all do." "We want to." "Judas, when you look into your heart..." "What do you see?" "Forgive me, forgive me, Lord." "You are forgiven." "Now tell me..." "What do you see inside?" "I'm sorry, Judas." "This is the man you said I should debate with?" "It's blasphemy." "This man wants to destroy everything we've worked to protect." "Make no mistake, those who appear great to you now will be humbled." "And those who are truly humble, they will be honoured as your leaders." "We've made our point now." " We should go back to Galilee." " Have faith." "Follow me." "Hand him over to the Romans." " It would be a Roman execution." " Hand over a Judaean?" " A blasphemer." " Only if he doesn't repent." "I will not be a part of this." "There is room for each of you in my father's house." " Even the one who must betray me." " Betray?" "I need to decide..." "Is this right?" "Act now." "His followers see their leader broken." "Do nothing, people will say," ""You've been no friend to Tiberius."" "You gave into him." "You could've stopped him!" "There's no talking with these people, don't you see that?" "The things they believe." "I will not be undermined in Rome." " You've done God's work." " Let's hope other people see that." "No-one came for me." "you said you wanted nothing to do with this." "You have put an innocent man to death." "It wasn't him... but it was." " It felt like Jesus." " "I believe what you say."" "I believe you saw something." "Transcript:" "Evarin" " Synchro:" "Tagne"
