1
00:02:17,631 --> 00:02:21,294
In the hour when the King Messiah comes.
2
00:02:22,402 --> 00:02:24,996
He shall stand on the roof of the temple,
3
00:02:26,005 --> 00:02:29,998
and proclaim that the time
of deliverance has come.
4
00:02:31,343 --> 00:02:37,976
Those who believe and are faithful to God
will rejoice in the light that will rise upon them,
5
00:02:38,517 --> 00:02:44,046
as it is written, "Arise, Shine,
for Thy light has come".
6
00:02:45,957 --> 00:02:51,919
Only take courage and be careful to observe
all things written in the law of Moses.
7
00:02:53,265 --> 00:03:00,398
And try not to side from them,
neither to the right hand nor to the left.
8
00:03:02,041 --> 00:03:05,498
Take care only this, in all diligence,
9
00:03:07,612 --> 00:03:09,943
that of love the Lord, thy God.
10
00:03:11,483 --> 00:03:12,506
Amen!
11
00:03:14,618 --> 00:03:17,644
Blessed art thou Lord, our God,
King of the universe.
12
00:03:18,222 --> 00:03:23,956
Nay, only the best among men,
as it is better to be an entity of the Heavens.
13
00:03:25,462 --> 00:03:28,659
Blessed art thou, O God, Lord of the Universe,
14
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:34,196
who consecrates the Sabbath,
and all of lsrael's celebrations.
15
00:03:34,770 --> 00:03:36,203
Amen.
16
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:41,441
May the Lord bless and preserve you.
May He let his face shine upon you.
17
00:03:42,411 --> 00:03:45,175
May the Lord lift up His countenance
and give you peace.
18
00:03:45,448 --> 00:03:46,574
Amen
19
00:03:47,016 --> 00:03:50,076
Come to my house, Rabbi, for supper?
I promised my children.
20
00:03:50,385 --> 00:03:51,148
Thank you.
21
00:03:51,654 --> 00:03:55,089
Ah... Joseph! Ah, Joseph! Joseph!
22
00:03:55,625 --> 00:04:00,585
Joseph, there's something I want to talk to
you about... it's very important,
23
00:04:02,564 --> 00:04:06,364
see, if you just come with me
we can talk about it better...
24
00:04:19,147 --> 00:04:23,082
I've read from the scriptures,
it might clear.
25
00:04:31,225 --> 00:04:32,351
Get away from me!
26
00:04:38,432 --> 00:04:40,161
Rabbi, rabbi!
27
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,660
Yes, tell your mother and father
they can see me tomorrow.
28
00:04:50,377 --> 00:04:52,367
Once you've mastered
the craft you will be free.
29
00:04:53,347 --> 00:04:56,213
Always remember, only those that
know how to use their hands are free.
30
00:04:57,050 --> 00:04:58,642
Only they are not dependent on anyone else.
31
00:04:59,652 --> 00:05:02,621
Joseph, could we-please?
32
00:05:03,156 --> 00:05:03,781
Anna!
33
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:10,657
I shall leave you to work on your own for a minute.
34
00:05:16,168 --> 00:05:18,796
- Remember, don't force the wood-treat it gently.
- Yes, of course.
35
00:05:23,375 --> 00:05:26,538
Anna, I intended to find you when we finished work,
but I'll come with you now.
36
00:05:28,113 --> 00:05:31,571
- You know that my husband...
- God rest him, the best of men...
37
00:05:32,183 --> 00:05:33,378
...was very fond of you.
38
00:05:34,318 --> 00:05:41,156
He would have come to you himself, but in the end,
he could hardly speak. Poor man.
39
00:05:42,593 --> 00:05:48,828
What sleep he could get was disturbed by dreams
about his daughter-alone, without her brother!
40
00:05:49,566 --> 00:05:53,195
No man in the house! And now, I can't sleep.
41
00:05:54,204 --> 00:05:57,197
And when I die, as I must soon...
42
00:05:57,708 --> 00:05:58,640
Why do you say that?
43
00:05:59,509 --> 00:06:02,240
I have a feeling that I will not live much longer.
44
00:06:02,612 --> 00:06:05,604
You have years ahead of you,
and you will sleep soundly tonight.
45
00:06:08,385 --> 00:06:12,879
It's a great change in a man's life,
but I also know a single man is only half a person.
46
00:06:14,823 --> 00:06:18,157
As for the contract and the date of the wedding...
I leave that all to you and the rabbi.
47
00:06:19,428 --> 00:06:21,727
Well, thank you, Joseph. You won't regret it.
48
00:06:22,197 --> 00:06:25,724
Mary is a good girl-she'll make
you a beautiful wife.
49
00:06:27,403 --> 00:06:31,339
Shall we sign the contract
the first day of the full moon?
50
00:06:32,174 --> 00:06:37,237
And then after a year's betrothal, celebrate the
wedding in the season of the harvest
51
00:06:38,946 --> 00:06:42,347
when the earth yields up its fruit
and the heart rejoices.
52
00:06:44,318 --> 00:06:46,549
With luck I may be able to see it.
53
00:07:23,957 --> 00:07:25,584
Mary, Mary!
54
00:07:26,659 --> 00:07:28,684
Come out Mary! They're waiting for you!
55
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,236
Mary! Mary! Mary, come! Come quickly!
56
00:07:41,941 --> 00:07:43,407
Shawl! Your shawl!
57
00:08:04,896 --> 00:08:06,523
Thank you. Do not be afraid.
58
00:08:07,998 --> 00:08:09,261
Yes, here she is.
59
00:08:31,588 --> 00:08:32,714
Beautiful
60
00:08:37,394 --> 00:08:43,333
May this betrothal, one to the other,
Joseph, Mary
61
00:08:44,635 --> 00:08:48,934
be blessed and sanctified according
to the law of Moses, and of lsrael.
62
00:08:49,672 --> 00:08:51,003
Amen, Amen!
63
00:09:57,103 --> 00:09:57,967
Who are you?
64
00:10:01,875 --> 00:10:02,773
Who are you?
65
00:10:42,446 --> 00:10:43,504
How can that be?
66
00:10:44,916 --> 00:10:46,440
No man has ever touched me.
67
00:11:19,816 --> 00:11:22,045
Behold the handmaiden of the Lord,
68
00:11:24,186 --> 00:11:27,019
may you be done unto me
according to your word.
69
00:11:35,664 --> 00:11:38,690
Mary? Who are you talking to?
70
00:11:53,982 --> 00:11:55,847
There's news of Elizabeth.
71
00:11:56,617 --> 00:11:58,949
My cousin, Elizabeth? What news?
72
00:12:01,923 --> 00:12:04,823
She's going to have a son
in three months time.
73
00:12:09,096 --> 00:12:16,161
She conceived the child six months ago,
on the 19th day of Tishri.
74
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,762
But Elizabeth was always bad.
75
00:12:21,675 --> 00:12:22,767
Now, she's far too old.
76
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:28,274
What nonsense is this, child?
77
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:32,515
Oh, but it's true. She's going to have a son.
78
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:37,885
And I must go and visit her.
79
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:35,073
Seems like... the release of these nations,
the Egyptians, the Syrians, King Herod,
80
00:13:36,313 --> 00:13:40,078
to revert to the Jews, I wonder,
is it because, as you say,
81
00:13:40,584 --> 00:13:44,144
they identify future with past
that they have so many prophets?
82
00:13:44,353 --> 00:13:46,947
Oh, the prophets,
it's the sun which breeds them.
83
00:13:48,624 --> 00:13:52,219
Many of them are harmless.
They preach religion, we let them go.
84
00:13:52,628 --> 00:13:55,893
But, some of them preach rebellion
because it is written.
85
00:13:56,899 --> 00:14:00,163
Altogether, literacy has had a
disastrous effect in this country,
86
00:14:01,069 --> 00:14:02,934
and those we eliminate.
87
00:14:03,772 --> 00:14:10,735
Rome has taught us that although this may be
indifferent theology, it is very good government.
88
00:14:13,281 --> 00:14:18,183
Majesty, I've heard the word, "Messiah".
What exactly is a Messiah?
89
00:14:18,687 --> 00:14:23,181
Oh, even you have heard that awful word,
Procunuas?
90
00:14:24,091 --> 00:14:26,582
Well, is he a prophet or is he something even-
91
00:14:26,827 --> 00:14:32,732
Well, Rome, even Rome,
cannot influence men's dreams,
92
00:14:34,101 --> 00:14:40,597
and the messiah is a bad dream
disguised as a solution to every problem.
93
00:14:40,774 --> 00:14:47,145
It's a leveler of scores, a rewarder of righteousness,
a scourge for the wrongdoer,
94
00:14:47,982 --> 00:14:51,712
it is the bringer of everlasting peace.
95
00:14:53,119 --> 00:14:58,955
Then, as I understand from what you have said,
a messiah is worse than a prophet,
96
00:14:59,292 --> 00:15:01,089
from the Roman point of view...
97
00:15:01,294 --> 00:15:04,752
From the Jewish viewpoint, too.
I mean, you try telling that to the Jews.
98
00:15:05,131 --> 00:15:08,123
No, don't! Don't! It's much wiser not to consult them.
99
00:15:08,368 --> 00:15:11,928
Just when a messiah appears,
crush it under foot like a young scorpion.
100
00:15:14,707 --> 00:15:19,109
No, you can tell great Augustus,
that he can rest in peace in Rome,
101
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:25,182
there will be no messiahs, true or false,
in Palestine while I am alive.
102
00:15:30,756 --> 00:15:32,655
Come Mary, you'll be comfortable.
103
00:15:34,258 --> 00:15:37,854
Here we go! May the Lord keep
us safe on our journey!
104
00:15:39,263 --> 00:15:40,890
God bless you, child.
105
00:15:51,275 --> 00:15:54,176
Esther, Esther!
Take this to my sister in Bethlehem.
106
00:15:54,411 --> 00:15:57,108
And tell her, tell her I'll be with her for Passover.
107
00:15:58,215 --> 00:15:59,842
Go safely on your journey!
108
00:16:28,712 --> 00:16:30,508
Where do you want the screen,
where should I put it?
109
00:16:39,321 --> 00:16:43,017
Mary! I've been longing to see you.
110
00:16:56,204 --> 00:16:57,193
Mary...
111
00:17:02,075 --> 00:17:03,270
So it is true.
112
00:17:07,180 --> 00:17:09,774
How did you know? Who told you?
113
00:17:11,485 --> 00:17:13,511
A messenger from God.
114
00:17:16,189 --> 00:17:17,451
And he told me another thing.
115
00:17:25,265 --> 00:17:27,256
Athing even more wonderful.
116
00:17:32,105 --> 00:17:33,834
You're blessed among women,
117
00:17:35,275 --> 00:17:37,834
and blessed shall be the fruit of your womb.
118
00:17:39,178 --> 00:17:45,378
I, too, am highly favored that the mother
of the chosen should come to me.
119
00:17:47,086 --> 00:17:50,248
From the moment your greeting reached my ears
120
00:17:53,926 --> 00:17:57,589
the child in my womb leaped for joy.
121
00:17:59,331 --> 00:18:01,423
My soul doth magnify the Lord,
122
00:18:02,866 --> 00:18:05,358
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my savior,
123
00:18:06,104 --> 00:18:09,870
for He has looked kindly upon
the most humble of his handmaidens,
124
00:18:10,908 --> 00:18:14,173
and He has told me that all
generations shall call me blessed.
125
00:18:15,379 --> 00:18:18,281
He who is mighty has done unto
me a mighty thing.
126
00:18:33,596 --> 00:18:34,825
Is it true about Mary's dream?
127
00:18:35,065 --> 00:18:38,228
Oh yes, it's true. News came from Enkarim.
Elizabeth is going to have a child.
128
00:18:38,635 --> 00:18:41,364
- Even though she's past the age?
- Oh yes, she must be nearly fifty.
129
00:18:41,638 --> 00:18:43,502
- Is she the one married to Zacharias?
- Yes, that's the one. She's Mary's cousin.
130
00:18:44,174 --> 00:18:46,004
- What? It can't be true!
- Oh, Joseph!
131
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:49,278
Are we going to get an invitation to your wedding?
132
00:18:51,247 --> 00:18:54,875
There's plenty of time for that, Jonathan.
The contract's only just been signed.
133
00:18:55,585 --> 00:18:58,052
Only just betrothed and his
beloved has left him already.
134
00:18:59,488 --> 00:19:02,481
Just like her, She's always been
a bit strange-not like the others.
135
00:19:02,958 --> 00:19:04,482
That's something you'll have to learn to live with.
136
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:07,624
But seriously, Joseph, Mary is remarkable.
137
00:19:08,530 --> 00:19:11,328
We all think so. A remarkable girl.
138
00:19:45,532 --> 00:19:46,557
Give him to me, Elizabeth.
139
00:20:04,017 --> 00:20:08,579
Blessed be thou, our Lord, King of the Universe,
who has blessed us with your commandments
140
00:20:09,288 --> 00:20:13,122
and ordained us to initiate our sons
in the covenant of our father, Abraham.
141
00:20:13,592 --> 00:20:14,456
Amen.
142
00:20:14,694 --> 00:20:16,991
As this child enters the covenant,
143
00:20:17,664 --> 00:20:24,091
so many enter into the study of the Torah
into marriage, and into good deeds?
144
00:20:24,536 --> 00:20:25,503
Amen
145
00:20:31,176 --> 00:20:35,578
This is the seal in flesh of the covenant
between the Lord and his people.
146
00:20:36,949 --> 00:20:39,678
- What is the name of the child?
- His name is...
147
00:20:42,987 --> 00:20:44,545
His name shall be John.
148
00:20:56,166 --> 00:20:57,599
When you get back to Nazareth,
149
00:20:58,635 --> 00:21:02,662
tell Joseph what you have seen and
heard what you know.
150
00:21:04,774 --> 00:21:07,641
The Lord God gives life where no life is possible.
151
00:21:09,713 --> 00:21:14,741
And one life shall be the son of God,
and the other shall be his prophet.
152
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,782
Go, tell all this to Joseph.
153
00:21:25,494 --> 00:21:28,622
But will he believe me?
Will he believe me?
154
00:21:29,999 --> 00:21:31,295
God will open his heart.
155
00:21:42,044 --> 00:21:43,442
That's too much for any man to believe.
156
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:48,811
But you're not any man.
You, too, are chosen.
157
00:21:59,561 --> 00:22:00,584
I was sick at heart.
158
00:22:02,496 --> 00:22:06,262
You ought to be my wife.
But now, that vow has to be broken.
159
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:14,238
I swear I've never been with her.
160
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,326
What I said about Elizabeth was true.
161
00:22:51,143 --> 00:22:55,875
Don't worry. I believe you.
162
00:22:59,317 --> 00:23:03,151
God's will be done.
163
00:23:08,626 --> 00:23:09,490
Now, you're sure.
164
00:23:10,694 --> 00:23:11,787
She told me herself.
165
00:23:18,168 --> 00:23:21,899
Women are the loveliest and
brightest of God's creations.
166
00:23:23,874 --> 00:23:26,604
And think you would know, but you...
167
00:23:28,912 --> 00:23:32,245
- Please, I need your advice.
- What advice can I give?
168
00:23:34,118 --> 00:23:35,516
- This is all.
- Rabbi, may I?
169
00:24:08,350 --> 00:24:09,544
It is written in the law,
170
00:24:10,852 --> 00:24:17,780
if in the time of betrothal a woman sins with any other man,
let them both be taken beyond the gates of the town,
171
00:24:19,561 --> 00:24:25,362
and stoned to death with the abomination that
be crushed out of the heart of lsrael.
172
00:24:27,402 --> 00:24:30,893
Should a man marry a woman which
he finds has no favor in his eyes,
173
00:24:32,339 --> 00:24:36,639
because he has found in hert he stain of uncleanliness,
174
00:24:38,979 --> 00:24:41,948
let him write a bill of repudiation
and deliver it unto her hands.
175
00:24:43,651 --> 00:24:46,414
This law applies even if l haven't taken
Mary into my house?
176
00:24:46,619 --> 00:24:54,994
Yes, yes. All that is needed is for a bill to be written
and delivered in the presence of two witnesses.
177
00:24:57,397 --> 00:25:00,763
No, if l do that I will expose her shame.
178
00:25:02,936 --> 00:25:05,699
I can't.
I can't.
179
00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:16,839
I'll send her away if l must, but in secret.
180
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:26,623
God knoweth the secret ofthe heart.
Trust in him, and accept.
181
00:25:29,428 --> 00:25:30,689
Accept it, Joseph.
182
00:25:32,530 --> 00:25:33,724
The Lord will not abondon you.
183
00:25:34,966 --> 00:25:35,660
Thank you.
184
00:26:13,403 --> 00:26:14,700
No!
185
00:26:22,411 --> 00:26:23,379
No!
186
00:26:24,014 --> 00:26:25,378
No!
187
00:26:39,294 --> 00:26:43,356
Joseph. Joseph, son of David.
188
00:26:43,965 --> 00:26:46,730
Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.
189
00:26:48,069 --> 00:26:50,867
It is by the Holy Spirit that she has conceived.
190
00:26:52,841 --> 00:26:58,973
She will bear a son, and you shall
give him the name Jesus, the Savior.
191
00:27:52,832 --> 00:27:56,562
Hey, Joseph. Joseph!
The bride is arriving! Mary's here!
192
00:28:46,649 --> 00:28:48,583
- With this ring...
- With this ring...
193
00:28:49,484 --> 00:28:52,942
- Be thou consecrated unto me...
- Be thou consecrated unto me...
194
00:28:54,490 --> 00:28:56,617
According to the law of Moses and of lsrael...
195
00:28:57,159 --> 00:28:59,525
According to the law of Moses and of lsrael...
196
00:29:02,965 --> 00:29:04,934
May the Lord bless and preserve you.
197
00:29:06,435 --> 00:29:08,528
May the Lord make His face shine upon you.
198
00:29:10,238 --> 00:29:14,937
May the Lord lift up His countenance
towards you and give you peace.
199
00:29:15,776 --> 00:29:16,869
Amen
200
00:29:42,570 --> 00:29:45,664
Would you like some grapes or some dates?
I picked them myself from the orchard.
201
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,172
No no no no... I've got one. Bless you.
202
00:30:29,248 --> 00:30:33,741
Your majesty, we have always treated
your country as far as possible
203
00:30:34,787 --> 00:30:36,811
as a free and independent nation,
204
00:30:37,822 --> 00:30:42,589
but the governor of Syria has decided
to include Palestine in a census.
205
00:30:43,995 --> 00:30:46,929
- In that event...
- A census in my territories?
206
00:30:47,832 --> 00:30:52,530
In Galilee, Judea, whatever your motives for this,
they'll be misunderstood.
207
00:30:53,270 --> 00:30:59,176
People will be resentful,
suspicious, perhaps, perhaps even hostile.
208
00:30:59,676 --> 00:31:02,611
As consul, I am here merely to carry out instructions.
209
00:31:03,046 --> 00:31:10,851
My dear, there seems to be one aspect of the problem
of which either Rome or you are entirely ignorant,
210
00:31:11,254 --> 00:31:12,845
and I cannot believe it to be Rome.
211
00:31:13,824 --> 00:31:19,227
The method which you propose to me of your
census are contrary to our tradition.
212
00:31:19,695 --> 00:31:21,560
- Tradition?
- Permit me your Majesty.
213
00:31:22,732 --> 00:31:27,258
I do not think that Marcus Matzo is aware
of the tradition your majesty refers to.
214
00:31:29,338 --> 00:31:33,000
For such official purposes as the taking of the census,
215
00:31:34,110 --> 00:31:39,843
every person living in these territories considers himself
as belonging not to the place where actually he lives,
216
00:31:40,749 --> 00:31:43,081
but to the place of origin in his family group.
217
00:31:44,252 --> 00:31:47,016
His tribe, may I say tribe?
218
00:31:48,857 --> 00:31:50,791
You may say tribe.
219
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:59,825
A census, therefore, means movement of every person back to
what he considers to be his native township, ancestral capital.
220
00:32:00,701 --> 00:32:04,000
To dignify a place which is sometime
no more than a stinking dunghill!
221
00:32:04,239 --> 00:32:11,144
Oh! You choose your phrases most exquisitely...
222
00:32:12,246 --> 00:32:17,013
So, if the census were conducted
according to local tradition,
223
00:32:18,051 --> 00:32:20,747
you think your subjects would accept it more readily?
224
00:32:20,954 --> 00:32:23,286
Oh, I see! Now we're supposed to count ourselves!
225
00:32:23,991 --> 00:32:28,052
Under your supervision, I hope starting with the king?
226
00:32:28,361 --> 00:32:31,853
- That is not.
- Seriously, seriously do you know what this would entail?
227
00:32:32,266 --> 00:32:35,757
The shifting of entire populations! The disruption of trade!
228
00:32:36,002 --> 00:32:40,234
The divine Augustus is counting on your understanding,
your Majesty.
229
00:32:41,774 --> 00:32:45,870
I hope I shall not have to inform him
of any lack of cooperation.
230
00:32:47,947 --> 00:32:55,978
Thank the divine Augustus for
his unswerving benevolence.
231
00:32:57,422 --> 00:33:01,051
That census is a trick to increase the taxes,
232
00:33:01,993 --> 00:33:03,984
and we know where the money ends up in Rome!
233
00:33:04,996 --> 00:33:05,859
But why should it?
234
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,257
What does Rome give us?
235
00:33:09,935 --> 00:33:10,833
That's not the point.
236
00:33:11,903 --> 00:33:15,737
The Romans want to count us
how many we are where we are,
237
00:33:16,674 --> 00:33:18,335
they want us to know that they are our ruler,
238
00:33:20,178 --> 00:33:25,706
but we should have no earthly ruler.
No rule but the Lord, no king but God.
239
00:33:25,950 --> 00:33:29,010
It's not for you to remind us of the scriptures.
Be quiet and go home.
240
00:33:30,054 --> 00:33:33,250
I apologize for my son.
He's too young to understand.
241
00:33:33,724 --> 00:33:35,816
What are you doing to the faith of our fathers?
242
00:33:36,192 --> 00:33:39,720
All over of Galilee there are thousands
ofJews preparing for,
243
00:33:40,063 --> 00:33:43,692
for what you're always talking about in there,
the coming of the king who will liberate us.
244
00:33:44,067 --> 00:33:46,160
- Come!
- And what are you doing about it? Nothing!
245
00:33:46,736 --> 00:33:48,397
We accept the violence of the Romans like sheep!
246
00:33:48,938 --> 00:33:50,872
- We are not worthy of the king to come!
- Stop it!
247
00:33:51,474 --> 00:33:53,941
The king to come will not bring violence and bloodshed.
248
00:33:55,811 --> 00:33:59,145
It is written. He himself is pure from sin.
249
00:34:00,115 --> 00:34:02,812
God shall cause him to be mighty
through the spirit of holiness
250
00:34:03,986 --> 00:34:06,887
and wise through the counsel of understanding.
251
00:34:08,156 --> 00:34:11,784
Now come home.
Stay there until you learn more respect for your elders.
252
00:34:38,251 --> 00:34:39,082
Anna.
253
00:34:41,454 --> 00:34:42,546
I must go to Bethlehem.
254
00:34:45,091 --> 00:34:46,081
It's my native town
255
00:34:47,295 --> 00:34:49,990
and, and Mary must come with me.
256
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:55,229
- Why?
- For the census?
257
00:34:56,436 --> 00:34:58,131
So even Augustus obeys God.
258
00:35:04,878 --> 00:35:06,936
- The prophecy?
- Yes the prophecy!
259
00:35:09,115 --> 00:35:13,448
For thou, O Bethlehem, art in no ways the least of cities.
260
00:35:14,853 --> 00:35:21,053
For from thee shall come forth
a Shepard of my people, Israel.
261
00:35:25,564 --> 00:35:27,998
If only I could come with you.
262
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:42,444
If only, I... Joseph, you'll need help when he's born.
263
00:35:43,513 --> 00:35:47,450
Don't you trouble, Anna. He will be well cared for.
264
00:35:51,154 --> 00:35:53,952
Everything will be done as God ordered.
265
00:39:22,823 --> 00:39:27,021
They seem to be kings, Lord Melchior.
From different lands.
266
00:39:27,762 --> 00:39:31,721
I told you we could not have been
the only ones to see the sign.
267
00:39:46,346 --> 00:39:48,781
Come in peace. Where are you bound?
268
00:39:50,150 --> 00:39:51,310
Wherever I am led.
269
00:39:55,221 --> 00:39:56,449
I follow that star.
270
00:40:34,692 --> 00:40:38,093
I'm sure that Herod keeps
a strict watch on his frontiers.
271
00:40:40,498 --> 00:40:42,591
He must know that we've crossed them.
272
00:40:43,801 --> 00:40:47,133
I would have to tell him, as Balthazar said,
273
00:40:48,272 --> 00:40:51,468
that I follow that star, wherever it leads.
274
00:40:52,310 --> 00:40:53,641
But what will we find.
275
00:40:55,712 --> 00:41:01,412
All my calculations show that there was to
be a new heavenly creature, a new star.
276
00:41:03,186 --> 00:41:05,552
It was even precise as to place and time.
277
00:41:06,657 --> 00:41:10,149
So I made up my mind to set forth and see
what they will behold.
278
00:41:10,394 --> 00:41:11,382
You did not know?
279
00:41:12,328 --> 00:41:13,728
Only that it would be something wonderful.
280
00:41:15,131 --> 00:41:18,362
The stars are not distant and aloof,
cut off from the lives of men.
281
00:41:19,435 --> 00:41:25,272
The rising of a new star always entails an immense labor
in the heavens that always has its counterpart on earth.
282
00:41:26,409 --> 00:41:31,278
The universe is about to bring forth
a prodigy beyond our understanding.
283
00:41:31,547 --> 00:41:37,486
Your star, my brother Balthasar,
is indeed a sign of wonder.
284
00:41:38,620 --> 00:41:44,526
The divine solar master says,
the next prophet will show himself in a foreign land.
285
00:41:45,727 --> 00:41:51,495
And the truth he will reveal will be at
first only for his own people...
286
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,268
- But there is only one truth.
- And only one God.
287
00:41:55,836 --> 00:41:59,773
All the rest are vain, or parts of him.
288
00:42:00,775 --> 00:42:02,709
The people of lsrael know this.
289
00:42:03,744 --> 00:42:07,373
Many of their wise men have been close to him,
290
00:42:08,549 --> 00:42:12,485
and their writings confirm my calculations.
291
00:42:15,922 --> 00:42:18,790
A king is about to be born...
292
00:42:19,493 --> 00:42:20,460
A king?
293
00:42:23,596 --> 00:42:28,329
A king who will free us from the evils of this world.
294
00:42:30,436 --> 00:42:31,404
Where will he be born?
295
00:42:33,406 --> 00:42:41,370
The sacred writings point to a small town,
in Judea called Bethlehem Efratta.
296
00:43:37,067 --> 00:43:38,556
Rest there, I'll find a place.
297
00:44:06,456 --> 00:44:08,651
- Excuse me, may I speak with you?
- What do you want?
298
00:44:09,259 --> 00:44:10,624
I desperately need a place to stay for tonight.
299
00:44:13,296 --> 00:44:14,627
My wife is near her time...
300
00:44:15,098 --> 00:44:18,363
No, no, I can't help you.
I already have too many people.
301
00:44:18,635 --> 00:44:19,760
- But I've got...
- Can't you see?
302
00:44:20,236 --> 00:44:22,227
Come on! Close the door!
303
00:44:23,372 --> 00:44:25,238
How many times do I have to tell you
the gate should be shut?
304
00:44:39,654 --> 00:44:42,623
Nothing, but there must be another place,
I'll try again.
305
00:44:43,625 --> 00:44:44,455
How do you feel.
306
00:44:45,426 --> 00:44:46,655
I don't like leaving you alone.
307
00:44:48,195 --> 00:44:49,628
Do you think you could walk a little further?
308
00:44:50,632 --> 00:44:52,462
- Hold on to me...
- Oh, no! No!
309
00:44:52,700 --> 00:44:53,792
Stay there, stay there.
310
00:44:55,336 --> 00:44:56,200
God will help us.
311
00:45:13,453 --> 00:45:16,548
Listen, it's no use trailing around Bethlehem anymore.
312
00:45:17,257 --> 00:45:20,624
Every inn is full up. None of them are
going to take your wife in like that.
313
00:45:21,661 --> 00:45:24,424
Come I'll show you.
Take your donkey.
314
00:45:26,732 --> 00:45:29,463
It's about time. Now do as I tell you,
315
00:45:31,170 --> 00:45:37,405
if you go through that gate over there, just outside
the walls on the road to Jerusalem you'll come to...
316
00:45:37,743 --> 00:45:42,112
careful... you come to some stables, some caves.
317
00:45:43,650 --> 00:45:50,110
It's not much, I know,
but you need warm and dry and plenty of fresh straw.
318
00:45:55,627 --> 00:45:59,085
Look, they're down there. Can you see?
319
00:46:05,236 --> 00:46:10,731
Right. Now then, if l can manage it,
I'll come back later, and help.
320
00:46:11,909 --> 00:46:16,811
Oh, and if anyone tries to throw you out,
just say that Abigail sent you. Abigail.
321
00:46:17,614 --> 00:46:18,512
Remember the name.
322
00:46:19,183 --> 00:46:21,514
We'll remember. Thank you.
323
00:48:40,985 --> 00:48:42,351
Look, Mary.
324
00:49:08,678 --> 00:49:11,010
Oh, beautiful child.
325
00:49:12,715 --> 00:49:14,410
Come on, put him there in the manger.
326
00:49:14,817 --> 00:49:17,844
And see if there is some fresh straw.
That will keep him warm.
327
00:49:20,556 --> 00:49:23,321
I'll take care of her, poor girl.
328
00:49:43,711 --> 00:49:48,842
Now then. Hand me some water.
Give it to me.
329
00:49:51,118 --> 00:49:52,086
Good, that's it.
330
00:49:57,058 --> 00:49:59,686
Who's that?
What do you want?
331
00:50:00,595 --> 00:50:04,361
This is no place for you!
Get out! Get out, you hear me?
332
00:50:04,732 --> 00:50:06,962
Off! Off with you!
Can't you see?
333
00:50:07,935 --> 00:50:09,493
The poor girl's just had a child?
334
00:50:10,003 --> 00:50:12,631
That's why we've come. We were told to.
335
00:50:14,775 --> 00:50:16,002
Told by whom?
336
00:50:16,643 --> 00:50:22,946
We were out there in the fields.
This man came to us from nowhere.
337
00:50:23,583 --> 00:50:25,447
An angel, shepherds he said.
338
00:50:27,087 --> 00:50:31,114
They say that Israel is a scattered
flock that lacks a shepherd.
339
00:50:32,057 --> 00:50:35,152
And then he said,
"Tonight, the shepherd is born.
340
00:50:36,830 --> 00:50:39,992
It is for you that He comes,
"he said. "For the poor."
341
00:50:42,868 --> 00:50:44,062
That's why you came here?
342
00:50:45,170 --> 00:50:47,138
Yes. The man said,
343
00:50:50,542 --> 00:50:51,702
he said...
344
00:50:54,813 --> 00:51:03,880
The man said, "Today, in the city of David,
a savior has been born for you.
345
00:51:07,191 --> 00:51:09,955
Glory to God in the highest," he said.
346
00:51:11,428 --> 00:51:14,022
And peace on earth for those who he loves.
347
00:51:19,102 --> 00:51:20,091
Come!
348
00:52:25,065 --> 00:52:30,936
They cross my border,
yet not one of them sends a greeting?
349
00:52:33,907 --> 00:52:34,703
Are they armed?
350
00:52:35,209 --> 00:52:39,475
Not heavily, your majesty. As far as I say,
they were equipped to travel fast and far...
351
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,108
But they were not heading here?
352
00:52:42,683 --> 00:52:44,514
If not here, where?
353
00:52:44,951 --> 00:52:46,509
It was Bethlehem, majesty.
354
00:52:47,154 --> 00:52:50,486
They, they followed a star, the new star.
355
00:52:52,059 --> 00:52:52,957
Bethlehem?
356
00:52:54,060 --> 00:53:01,159
O thou, Bethlehem Effrata,
thou art the smallest what was that phrase again?
357
00:53:03,269 --> 00:53:10,231
Thou Bethlehem Effrata,
art little one out of thousands ofJudah.
358
00:53:11,511 --> 00:53:18,939
Out of thee He shall come forth unto thee,
for as to be the ruler in Israel,
359
00:53:19,685 --> 00:53:26,852
and His going forth is from the beginning
from the days of eternity.
360
00:53:36,934 --> 00:53:38,732
A ruler in Israel?
361
00:53:49,579 --> 00:53:53,209
Have those travelers watched all the time.
362
00:54:00,291 --> 00:54:06,160
And bring me the names of all
newborn children in Bethlehem.
363
00:54:25,747 --> 00:54:29,079
...And the glory of the Lord shines over you.
364
00:54:30,785 --> 00:54:35,085
For though darkness covers the earth,
and dark night the nations,
365
00:54:36,290 --> 00:54:38,087
the Lord shall shine upon you.
366
00:54:43,396 --> 00:54:44,796
Come, come!
367
00:54:46,333 --> 00:54:50,600
- I promise that everything will be done the way we agreed.
- It won't take long.
368
00:54:51,872 --> 00:54:53,203
Come, come!
369
00:55:01,814 --> 00:55:02,782
Borsch!
370
00:55:12,125 --> 00:55:19,724
And the Lord said to Abraham, "Keep my alliance,
and circumcise each child born unto Israel on the
eighth day of his life." Amen.
371
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:25,962
This is the seal and flesh of the covenant
between the Lord and His people.
372
00:55:37,315 --> 00:55:38,339
And the child shall be called?
373
00:55:44,355 --> 00:55:45,686
His name shall be Jesus.
374
00:56:14,350 --> 00:56:15,716
Where is he?
375
00:56:36,772 --> 00:56:39,707
Now I can die contented, Lord,
376
00:56:44,045 --> 00:56:45,808
according to Thy word.
377
00:56:57,092 --> 00:57:02,223
I am Simeon,
an old man who has waited long to see his salvation.
378
00:57:03,964 --> 00:57:14,397
And now my eyes have seen the child who will bring
the salvation thou hast prepared before all people.
379
00:57:16,810 --> 00:57:23,978
A light of revelation to the gentiles,
and the glory of thy people, Israel.
380
00:57:36,229 --> 00:57:39,198
And a sword shall pierce your heart.
381
00:58:13,931 --> 00:58:14,454
Next.
382
00:58:15,866 --> 00:58:17,834
- What is your name?
- Joseph of Elias
383
00:58:19,137 --> 00:58:20,900
- Where are you from?
- Eskelon.
384
00:58:21,405 --> 00:58:22,804
Don't forget to take your token with you.
385
00:58:24,108 --> 00:58:25,973
- What's your name?
- Asbar Zadif.
386
00:58:26,177 --> 00:58:27,872
- How many children?
- Seven, this is the youngest.
387
00:58:28,111 --> 00:58:29,044
- How old is she?
- Three.
388
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,072
- Move on.
- And here, seven tokens.
389
00:58:31,615 --> 00:58:33,310
My husband could not come, he's ill.
390
00:58:34,352 --> 00:58:37,912
- Well, there'll be one for him, too, if you explain.
- What are these tokens?
391
00:58:38,521 --> 00:58:42,150
- A coin to prove that you've registered.
- Well, they're little tokens with the emperor's head on them.
392
00:58:48,531 --> 00:58:49,395
Special orders!
393
00:58:54,104 --> 00:58:55,900
We want the names of all the newborn.
394
00:58:56,873 --> 00:58:57,463
Newborn?
395
00:58:58,608 --> 00:59:00,006
Note their names. The newborn.
396
00:59:03,279 --> 00:59:04,074
What did he say?
397
00:59:04,847 --> 00:59:06,475
He wants the names of all the newborn.
398
00:59:07,449 --> 00:59:09,212
Why do they want to know about the newborn?
399
00:59:09,585 --> 00:59:12,849
Well, there's no point in arguing with them.
You just do what you're told.
400
00:59:46,153 --> 00:59:47,086
Wait!
401
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:15,979
Don't be afraid.
402
01:00:17,283 --> 01:00:18,511
Where is the child?
403
01:00:19,518 --> 01:00:21,611
We have come a long way to greet him.
404
01:00:53,383 --> 01:00:56,011
This is the king of lsrael
405
01:00:58,522 --> 01:01:00,649
who will take away the sins of the world.
406
01:01:06,730 --> 01:01:12,066
I did not know what we were to find,
and coming here, a stable?
407
01:01:13,503 --> 01:01:18,031
I thought my brothers were mistaken,
but now I see the justice of this.
408
01:01:19,642 --> 01:01:21,076
There could be no other place.
409
01:01:21,445 --> 01:01:27,144
Mm... not in glory, but in humility.
410
01:01:28,150 --> 01:01:31,677
Accept these poor tokens of our homage.
411
01:01:32,588 --> 01:01:36,251
Incense, to perfume the halls of the mighty.
412
01:01:42,097 --> 01:01:46,159
Gold, for kingly rule.
413
01:01:46,735 --> 01:01:54,607
Myrrh, the most precious herb of the East,
and the most bitter.
414
01:02:05,486 --> 01:02:07,751
And now, a word of warning.
415
01:02:15,596 --> 01:02:17,393
Leave here as soon as you can.
416
01:02:19,198 --> 01:02:22,498
Herod's soldiers have followed us,
hoping it would lead them to you.
417
01:02:22,802 --> 01:02:25,600
He knows of His birth.
He will seek out the child and kill him.
418
01:02:26,806 --> 01:02:28,536
Go into Egypt.
419
01:02:29,776 --> 01:02:34,145
It may not be for long,
Herod's days are numbered.
420
01:02:43,523 --> 01:02:45,252
Those travelers crossed my frontier again?
421
01:02:45,792 --> 01:02:47,259
- Yes, your majesty.
- Yes, your majesty.
422
01:02:54,833 --> 01:02:57,097
But the child would still be here.
423
01:03:11,937 --> 01:03:19,362
Kill every male child up to one year old,
two years old.
424
01:03:23,371 --> 01:03:27,135
Better the innocent should die,
then that the guilty should escape.
425
01:03:27,667 --> 01:03:30,732
Guilty?
Your majesty, a child?
426
01:03:32,095 --> 01:03:35,160
Guilty of the womb! Guilty of the stars!
427
01:03:35,466 --> 01:03:39,454
I'll bring down their stars!
I'll snuff them out in blood!
428
01:03:40,225 --> 01:03:44,349
This is my world!
I will not share it with an infant!
429
01:03:45,115 --> 01:03:50,591
There is no room for two kings here!
Like a newborn scorpion under foot!
430
01:03:51,990 --> 01:03:55,978
You know the mark of a real king?
Courage!
431
01:03:56,549 --> 01:04:05,000
Even in the face ofJewish prophecy!
Bits of old parchment! Old, blind men! Hah!
432
01:04:05,340 --> 01:04:08,303
Now go to Bethlehem!
I make history!
433
01:04:09,834 --> 01:04:10,916
- Kill!
- But your Majesty!
434
01:04:11,222 --> 01:04:17,656
Kill! Kill them all! Kill! Kill them all!
435
01:04:59,453 --> 01:05:02,979
Leave my child, you blood thirsty murderer!
436
01:06:01,305 --> 01:06:03,238
Lust is fulfilled.
437
01:06:05,207 --> 01:06:09,803
That which was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah.
438
01:06:11,981 --> 01:06:21,411
In Ramah, was there a voice heard, lamentation,
weeping and great mourning.
439
01:06:23,324 --> 01:06:26,554
Rachel, weeping for her children,
440
01:06:28,895 --> 01:06:36,561
but would not be comforted,
because they were no more.
441
01:07:34,182 --> 01:07:36,309
King Herod is dead.
442
01:07:37,953 --> 01:07:39,385
Taken in the midst of his sins.
443
01:07:40,421 --> 01:07:46,519
Struck down by the Lord to whom the power
and pride of kings are as nothing.
444
01:07:47,561 --> 01:07:49,118
You cannot defy God,
445
01:07:50,530 --> 01:07:55,296
the mighty God, the everlasting Father,
the Prince of Peace.
446
01:07:56,567 --> 01:08:00,196
Yet the yoke of tyranny will not be lifted from us.
447
01:08:00,872 --> 01:08:06,640
Rome will choose a king from among his sons,
and her grip will become stronger,
448
01:08:07,444 --> 01:08:11,539
but you should lift up your hearts,
for the Eternal will not abandon us.
449
01:08:12,315 --> 01:08:14,111
He will send us a deliverer,
450
01:08:15,418 --> 01:08:22,619
and His dominion is the everlasting dominion
that shall not pass away.
451
01:08:23,657 --> 01:08:29,095
And his kingdom, that which shall not be destroyed.
452
01:09:35,618 --> 01:09:36,482
Come.
453
01:09:38,054 --> 01:09:43,490
There, look! Do you see? Nazareth!
That's where we live.
454
01:09:57,336 --> 01:09:58,565
Here, O Israel.
455
01:10:00,340 --> 01:10:02,738
The eternal, our God, the Eternal is one.
456
01:10:04,509 --> 01:10:08,137
Blessed be the name of the glory of
the kingdom forever and forever.
457
01:10:09,212 --> 01:10:15,082
And thou should the eternal, thy God,
with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might
458
01:10:16,152 --> 01:10:19,245
and these words which I command
thee shall be in thine heart.
459
01:10:23,224 --> 01:10:23,781
Amen.
460
01:10:24,559 --> 01:10:25,355
Amen.
461
01:10:32,466 --> 01:10:35,491
A man who's skillful in his work,
will stand before kings.
462
01:10:37,003 --> 01:10:41,440
And our work like every other,
has a second meaning in God's eyes.
463
01:10:44,042 --> 01:10:47,533
We use this to make a straight line on the
wood before we cut it,
464
01:10:49,146 --> 01:10:51,376
and as we use the ruler to make straight lines,
465
01:10:52,082 --> 01:10:54,482
God gave us rules to keep our lives straight.
466
01:11:02,591 --> 01:11:03,579
God gives the wood.
467
01:11:05,026 --> 01:11:08,553
And man with his skill and invention,
that God gave him,
468
01:11:09,564 --> 01:11:11,259
is always finding new uses.
469
01:11:12,700 --> 01:11:15,065
Sometimes wonderful uses for it,
470
01:11:18,804 --> 01:11:23,035
a wheel, a plow, a ladder.
471
01:11:26,210 --> 01:11:30,078
They all look simple, but they are from God.
472
01:11:32,283 --> 01:11:36,184
And a ladder can sometimes
reach from earth to heaven.
473
01:11:37,588 --> 01:11:41,523
Joseph! Joseph!
Didn't you say the plow would be ready?
474
01:11:41,824 --> 01:11:42,552
Coming!
475
01:11:49,497 --> 01:11:50,361
Keep on with your work.
476
01:11:51,832 --> 01:11:52,492
What is this?
477
01:11:53,802 --> 01:11:54,768
Well, look at it.
478
01:11:56,236 --> 01:11:57,224
What have you done?
479
01:11:57,671 --> 01:11:59,433
This is not how I asked you to make it!
480
01:12:00,773 --> 01:12:04,800
Oh, no! No! It is not worth labor at all!
481
01:12:07,279 --> 01:12:10,373
It was supposed to be ready days ago,
and now it is not ready.
482
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:24,650
No, son!
483
01:13:09,631 --> 01:13:13,294
Bless God who has given us the Torah.
484
01:13:14,536 --> 01:13:17,561
The Lord god will go before you.
485
01:13:18,538 --> 01:13:21,802
Be strong and of good courage.
486
01:13:22,742 --> 01:13:28,772
Fear not, do not be afraid, for the Lord,
Thy god, will go with you.
487
01:13:29,581 --> 01:13:32,641
He will not fail you or forsake you.
488
01:13:34,452 --> 01:13:35,749
Amen!
489
01:13:43,192 --> 01:13:44,455
Now you are truly a man.
490
01:13:46,862 --> 01:13:53,630
Jesus by Joseph.
As a new adult member of our community,
491
01:13:56,304 --> 01:14:01,798
you have exercised your right to read
and comment upon the scriptures
492
01:14:03,609 --> 01:14:07,807
that is your heritage.
It is the heritage of the children of lsrael
493
01:14:09,482 --> 01:14:18,513
but remember that God's word is spoken in times
of light and in times of darkness and persecution.
494
01:14:20,825 --> 01:14:25,523
May you always read from the law in a time ofjoy.
495
01:14:26,196 --> 01:14:27,254
Amen.
496
01:14:27,963 --> 01:14:29,431
May God protect you.
497
01:14:30,432 --> 01:14:31,921
May God bring blessings on the boy.
498
01:15:21,342 --> 01:15:22,366
Romans! Here!
499
01:15:23,777 --> 01:15:25,369
Romans? Hey, hey!
500
01:15:26,013 --> 01:15:32,747
Brothers, brothers, quiet!
Shh... The Roman forces are here.
501
01:15:53,369 --> 01:15:55,393
Jewish bread. Better than nothing.
502
01:16:05,311 --> 01:16:07,609
- Who ordered this?
- Quarter master. An army must eat,
503
01:16:07,947 --> 01:16:09,973
and it's a long way from Dumasta to Jerusalem.
504
01:16:10,483 --> 01:16:11,882
But Galilee isn't Roman territory!
505
01:16:12,619 --> 01:16:15,313
Hah! The whole world is Roman territory!
506
01:16:20,625 --> 01:16:25,823
Hey, put your sword back. Ignore them.
You'll meet with plenty of those in Jerusalem.
507
01:16:26,863 --> 01:16:30,663
They're called zealots.
They're mad religious fanatics.
508
01:16:39,908 --> 01:16:40,670
You there!
509
01:16:41,775 --> 01:16:46,076
Remember this!
The Roman army is not a pack of bandits.
510
01:16:46,781 --> 01:16:51,513
And we'll be through with the likes
of you in our own good time. Come!
511
01:17:01,092 --> 01:17:05,051
May the curse of God fall upon these murderers!
512
01:17:11,567 --> 01:17:14,627
How long must we wait? How long?
513
01:17:15,606 --> 01:17:17,470
Are you to help us?
514
01:17:19,809 --> 01:17:21,332
God has abandoned us.
515
01:17:23,144 --> 01:17:24,576
How long?
516
01:17:29,083 --> 01:17:30,481
How long?
517
01:18:25,797 --> 01:18:27,128
Look, Jerusalem.
518
01:19:14,438 --> 01:19:18,238
This is a lamb with no mark, without blemish.
519
01:20:11,819 --> 01:20:17,848
...are not enough to please our Father, our eternal God.
A prayer of the heart is more important.
520
01:20:18,625 --> 01:20:22,152
Do you remember what King Solomon
said after he built the temple?
521
01:20:23,629 --> 01:20:25,824
Standing in front of the temple of the Lord,
522
01:20:27,033 --> 01:20:32,594
he spread out his hands and said,
"Can God indeed dwell with His creatures on earth?
523
01:20:33,238 --> 01:20:37,139
Heaven itself, the highest heaven,
cannot contain thee,
524
01:20:38,108 --> 01:20:40,599
how much less this house that I have built?
525
01:20:42,245 --> 01:20:45,806
Yet attend to the prayer and supplication
of thy servant, O Lord,
526
01:20:46,848 --> 01:20:51,648
that thine eyes can always be always
upon this house, day and night.
527
01:20:53,621 --> 01:20:58,080
This place of which thy bid to say,
'It shall receive my name."'
528
01:20:58,324 --> 01:20:59,552
Son!
529
01:21:02,162 --> 01:21:03,925
We've been looking for you everywhere.
530
01:21:05,165 --> 01:21:07,655
Why were you looking for me everywhere?
531
01:21:08,867 --> 01:21:12,700
Did you not know you would have found me
in my father's house?
532
01:21:16,007 --> 01:21:19,874
O Lord, I grow old.
533
01:21:21,311 --> 01:21:24,905
What have thy promised to the prophets.
Where are they?
534
01:21:26,582 --> 01:21:35,716
"Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and tell her that her time of bondage has ended.
535
01:21:37,292 --> 01:21:43,229
That her penalty is paid.
Salvation is at hand.
536
01:21:44,564 --> 01:21:46,828
To be shouted from the mountaintops...
537
01:22:01,045 --> 01:22:10,008
The teaching is clear behold thy send my
messenger and He will clear the way before me.
538
01:22:16,124 --> 01:22:19,218
Messenger before me...
539
01:22:24,264 --> 01:22:30,031
messenger.
And the Lord will suddenly come to His temple,
540
01:22:31,003 --> 01:22:35,769
and the messenger of the covenant,
behold, is here."
541
01:22:41,411 --> 01:22:45,608
The people of Galilee thought they
had seen the depths of inequity
542
01:22:45,982 --> 01:22:49,610
when their land was ruled by Herod,
the mayor of blood.
543
01:22:50,419 --> 01:22:58,791
But now his son and the Herod Antipas, the new prince
of Galilee strives to outdo his fathers' crimes
544
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,787
for he follows his last's and breaks faith with God.
545
01:23:04,365 --> 01:23:11,360
He dares to defy the law of Moses by entering
into unholy marriage with the wife of his brother.
546
01:23:12,237 --> 01:23:16,071
Can we permit this?
All of us will suffer for his sins!
547
01:23:39,827 --> 01:23:42,056
...Messenger for King!
548
01:23:44,698 --> 01:23:47,166
Your majesty, he's here, the Baptist.
549
01:23:48,335 --> 01:23:49,164
He's here?
550
01:23:51,971 --> 01:23:52,404
Well?
551
01:23:53,805 --> 01:23:55,171
Well, well what?
552
01:23:55,941 --> 01:23:56,704
What?
553
01:23:57,007 --> 01:23:59,100
Well, uh... leave him alone.
554
01:24:01,011 --> 01:24:02,842
We'll march again! Continue!
555
01:24:09,118 --> 01:24:11,450
Oh, what harm can he do?
556
01:24:12,922 --> 01:24:18,723
He's been out there for years in the desert
living on locusts and, and, and prayers.
557
01:24:19,261 --> 01:24:24,391
He doesn't incite the people to rebellion!
He asks nothing for himself.
558
01:24:25,165 --> 01:24:27,929
All he wants is to remain poor and naked.
559
01:24:28,970 --> 01:24:31,767
And he would do very much like
everyone else doesn't the same.
560
01:24:33,940 --> 01:24:37,965
Oh no, when the wedding festivities is over,
I'll have him preach at the palace.
561
01:24:38,209 --> 01:24:40,871
You can hear him with your own ears.
He's a very remarkable.
562
01:24:43,180 --> 01:24:45,445
I'm glad there is somebody remarkable in Judea.
563
01:24:46,250 --> 01:24:47,239
Herod!
564
01:24:49,786 --> 01:24:54,279
Herod! The tablets of the law speak plainly!
565
01:24:55,157 --> 01:25:01,493
You may marry the wife of your brother
when your brother is dead, but not while he lives!
566
01:25:02,296 --> 01:25:08,894
This woman, Herodias, is the wife of your brother Phillip,
and Phillip lives...
567
01:25:10,103 --> 01:25:16,200
It is written, "I have seen thine adulteries
and thine abominations, woe unto them!"
568
01:25:17,309 --> 01:25:19,039
Will thou not be made clean?
569
01:25:19,478 --> 01:25:22,879
Send this woman back to your brother! Repent!
570
01:25:24,515 --> 01:25:27,416
How can you allow this longer to continue?
571
01:25:28,786 --> 01:25:33,551
No, we decided to be clement on our wedding day.
572
01:25:33,923 --> 01:25:37,187
I'm not afraid of your power on earth, Herod Antipas!
573
01:25:37,826 --> 01:25:41,886
if I do not warn you, you will die in sin.
574
01:25:42,564 --> 01:25:46,055
And the Lord will ask me to account for your life!
575
01:25:48,368 --> 01:25:49,801
Quickly! Into the palace!
576
01:25:58,977 --> 01:26:01,411
Repent! Repent!
577
01:26:02,180 --> 01:26:06,445
- The Lord blesses you!
- For the kingdom of heaven is at hand!
578
01:26:09,552 --> 01:26:12,147
Brothers, we can make use of this man!
579
01:26:13,356 --> 01:26:17,849
His attacks on Herod Antipas excites
people makes them think of lsrael.
580
01:26:18,293 --> 01:26:22,354
Don't be too sure about it.
Prophets only make men think of our God in Heaven.
581
01:26:23,031 --> 01:26:28,297
So do we, and if we want to direct people's thoughts,
we must use what means we can.
582
01:26:28,902 --> 01:26:32,394
Yes, but we zealots want to see the
power of God on earth fighting the Romans.
583
01:26:33,808 --> 01:26:34,569
Does John want that?
584
01:26:35,341 --> 01:26:40,244
The time has come!
The great and terrible day of the Lord is at hand!
585
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:44,277
Repent! And change your lives!
586
01:26:48,619 --> 01:26:54,988
Every valley shall be exalted!
Every mountain in here laid low.
587
01:26:56,625 --> 01:27:01,358
The winding way shall be straightened!
And the rough way made smooth.
588
01:27:02,098 --> 01:27:05,966
God let you back from Babylon to serve
Him but you betrayed Him!
589
01:27:06,401 --> 01:27:09,336
Now you are warned! Please! Please!
590
01:27:17,544 --> 01:27:25,177
"I am the Lord unchanging," says the Eternal,
"and you too shall not cease to be sons of cheaters.
591
01:27:25,984 --> 01:27:30,579
From the days of your forefathers you have
been wayward, and have not kept my laws.
592
01:27:31,590 --> 01:27:36,652
If you will return to me,
I will return to you!" says the Lord.
593
01:27:37,526 --> 01:27:41,964
Do not think you will be save by your rituals,
by going to the temple
594
01:27:42,498 --> 01:27:45,160
it is not sacrifices the Lord demands!
595
01:27:46,901 --> 01:27:53,169
Bring no more vain offerings at the Lord.
"I delight not in the blood of lambs".
596
01:27:54,074 --> 01:27:58,340
The sacrifice that God demands is a repented heart!
597
01:27:58,911 --> 01:28:01,903
- What can we do, then, to be saved?
- Change your hearts!
598
01:28:03,616 --> 01:28:05,140
Take the right way!
599
01:28:06,051 --> 01:28:09,508
The Lord said that my ways are not your ways.
600
01:28:10,021 --> 01:28:12,387
Why speak as though none of
us know the way to salvation.
601
01:28:12,990 --> 01:28:16,118
We know the law as well as you,
and we try to obey it!
602
01:28:16,460 --> 01:28:21,123
We are the sons of Abraham.
We have always kept the law.
603
01:28:21,898 --> 01:28:25,389
To those of you that seen themselves just and pious,
604
01:28:26,202 --> 01:28:30,262
I say that you must bring the fruits of repentance!
605
01:28:31,405 --> 01:28:37,071
Do not content yourself with saying,
"Abraham was a father, and that is enough to save us."
606
01:28:38,145 --> 01:28:44,242
The Lord could take anyone of these stones
and turn it into a son of Abraham.
607
01:28:46,252 --> 01:28:48,685
Pharisees, we know you! Go back to Jerusalem!
608
01:28:49,220 --> 01:28:51,279
Yeah, go back to Jerusalem! It's right.
609
01:29:03,300 --> 01:29:06,200
...You are the prophet! Save us John! Save us!
610
01:29:09,103 --> 01:29:16,975
I baptize you with water that you may be
purified and ready for the coming of the kingdom.
611
01:29:18,044 --> 01:29:19,535
Open up your hearts to God!
612
01:29:22,281 --> 01:29:25,215
Receive this cleansing light!
613
01:29:25,718 --> 01:29:30,380
Save me, save me, John! I have sinned!
Have mercy on me, John. I am a sinner!
614
01:29:31,089 --> 01:29:34,081
Let his water wash away your sins.
615
01:29:47,736 --> 01:29:52,263
Disgrace! Go back! Go back!
616
01:29:59,113 --> 01:30:02,548
John, you'll pay for it! You'll pay for it!
617
01:30:11,422 --> 01:30:22,389
Oh! One day they'll almost stoned me to death!
Is that what you want?
618
01:30:58,344 --> 01:31:00,137
You're tired of me, aren't you?!
619
01:31:01,013 --> 01:31:04,058
- No!
- Yes yes, admit it, you are tired of me!
620
01:31:05,017 --> 01:31:09,230
I can tell by the way,
by the way you mooned over my daughter, Salome!
621
01:31:10,773 --> 01:31:12,024
- Non-sense!
- You like her!
622
01:31:12,692 --> 01:31:17,238
She's a child! Baker! Liar!
623
01:31:17,613 --> 01:31:18,698
- No!
- Coward!
624
01:31:19,073 --> 01:31:20,908
- I am not a coward!
- What are you then?
625
01:31:21,951 --> 01:31:26,330
That prophet I demand that you arrest him.
626
01:31:27,164 --> 01:31:28,165
Demand?
627
01:31:30,167 --> 01:31:34,797
Demand? That's a strong word, my heart.
628
01:31:37,967 --> 01:31:38,884
You must remember.
629
01:31:41,846 --> 01:31:42,722
John is right.
630
01:31:46,559 --> 01:31:50,855
By the laws of Moses, we have sinned.
631
01:31:53,733 --> 01:31:54,984
Come on, come on!
632
01:31:57,695 --> 01:31:58,779
We have sinned,
633
01:32:01,866 --> 01:32:07,246
and we go on sinning, and very pleasant it is, too.
634
01:32:12,126 --> 01:32:17,715
Even if I wanted to, I could do nothing about his reproaches
until he once more sets foot in Galilee.
635
01:32:18,758 --> 01:32:25,306
And then, my own, my heart,
we'll throw him into prison.
636
01:32:28,225 --> 01:32:31,020
Repent! Repent! Repent!
637
01:32:35,399 --> 01:32:37,276
A little repenting won't do him any harm.
638
01:32:38,986 --> 01:32:42,365
After all, he preaches it.
639
01:33:09,433 --> 01:33:10,226
Rabbi!
640
01:33:13,020 --> 01:33:18,859
We have been sent by the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem,
amongst whom you have many friends and admirers.
641
01:33:19,777 --> 01:33:22,196
They understood why you could not come to the temple.
642
01:33:23,239 --> 01:33:26,826
It would've been wrong for you to abandon your mission,
even for a single day.
643
01:33:27,952 --> 01:33:31,706
The reason for the invitation was to
ask you one simple question.
644
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:33,916
Who are you?
645
01:33:36,460 --> 01:33:43,092
First, I will say who I am not.
646
01:33:46,095 --> 01:33:47,763
I am not the messiah.
647
01:33:50,850 --> 01:33:52,476
The messiah is yet to come.
648
01:33:54,895 --> 01:33:57,398
Then, in the name of the living god,
who are you?
649
01:34:00,359 --> 01:34:10,202
I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness
make great the way of the Lord.
650
01:34:11,162 --> 01:34:15,041
If you are not the messiah or the prophet Elijah,
651
01:34:16,125 --> 01:34:18,836
by whose authority are you backed up?
652
01:34:19,837 --> 01:34:23,174
By the authority of him who shall come after me.
653
01:34:24,175 --> 01:34:28,179
Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloosen!
654
01:34:30,139 --> 01:34:33,142
I baptize you with water
655
01:34:33,976 --> 01:34:41,317
but he will baptize you with
the holy spirit! And with fire,
656
01:34:43,069 --> 01:34:48,908
his rod is in his hand and with
it he will cleanse the freshing floor.
