1
00:02:26,631 --> 00:02:30,294
In the hour when the king Messiah comes.
2
00:02:31,402 --> 00:02:33,996
He shall stand on the roof of the temple,
3
00:02:35,005 --> 00:02:38,998
and proclaim that the time
of deliverance has come.
4
00:02:40,343 --> 00:02:46,976
Those who believe and are faithful to God
will rejoice in the light that will rise upon them,
5
00:02:47,517 --> 00:02:53,046
as it is written, "Arise, Shine,
for Thy light has come".
6
00:02:54,957 --> 00:03:00,919
Only take courage and be careful to observe
all things written in the law of Moses.
7
00:03:02,265 --> 00:03:09,398
And try not to side from them,
neither to the right hand nor to the left.
8
00:03:11,041 --> 00:03:14,498
Take care only this, in all diligence,
9
00:03:16,612 --> 00:03:18,943
that of love the Lord, thy God.
10
00:03:20,483 --> 00:03:21,506
Amen!
11
00:03:23,618 --> 00:03:26,644
Blessed art thou Lord, our God,
King of the universe.
12
00:03:27,222 --> 00:03:32,956
Nay, only the best among men,
as it is better to be an entity of the Heavens.
13
00:03:34,462 --> 00:03:37,659
Blessed art thou, O God, Lord of the Universe,
14
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:43,196
who consecrates the Sabbath,
and all of lsrael's celebrations.
15
00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:45,203
Amen.
16
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:50,441
May the Lord bless and preserve you.
May He let his face shine upon you.
17
00:03:51,411 --> 00:03:54,175
May the Lord lift up His countenance
and give you peace.
18
00:03:54,448 --> 00:03:55,574
Amen
19
00:03:56,016 --> 00:03:59,076
Come to my house, Rabbi, for supper?
I promised my children.
20
00:03:59,385 --> 00:04:00,148
Thank you.
21
00:04:00,654 --> 00:04:04,089
Ah... Joseph! Ah, Joseph! Joseph!
22
00:04:04,625 --> 00:04:09,585
Joseph, there's something I want to talk to
you about... it's very important,
23
00:04:11,564 --> 00:04:15,364
see, if you just come with me
we can talk about it better...
24
00:04:28,147 --> 00:04:32,082
I've read from the scriptures,
it might clear.
25
00:04:40,225 --> 00:04:41,351
Get away from me!
26
00:04:47,432 --> 00:04:49,161
Rabbi, rabbi!
27
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:52,660
Yes, tell your mother and father
they can see me tomorrow.
28
00:04:59,377 --> 00:05:01,367
Once you've mastered
the craft you will be free.
29
00:05:02,347 --> 00:05:05,213
Always remember, only those that
know how to use their hands are free.
30
00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:07,642
Only they are not dependent on anyone else.
31
00:05:08,652 --> 00:05:11,621
Joseph, could we-please?
32
00:05:12,156 --> 00:05:12,781
Anna!
33
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:19,657
I shall leave you to work on your own for a minute.
34
00:05:25,168 --> 00:05:27,796
- Remember, don't force the wood-treat it gently.
- Yes, of course.
35
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:35,538
Anna, I intended to find you when we finished work,
but I'll come with you now.
36
00:05:37,113 --> 00:05:40,571
- You know that my husband...
- God rest him, the best of men...
37
00:05:41,183 --> 00:05:42,378
...was very fond of you.
38
00:05:43,318 --> 00:05:50,156
He would have come to you himself, but in the end,
he could hardly speak. Poor man.
39
00:05:51,593 --> 00:05:57,828
What sleep he could get was disturbed by dreams
about his daughter-alone, without her brother!
40
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:02,195
No man in the house! And now, I can't sleep.
41
00:06:03,204 --> 00:06:06,197
And when I die, as I must soon...
42
00:06:06,708 --> 00:06:07,640
Why do you say that?
43
00:06:08,509 --> 00:06:11,240
I have a feeling that I will not live much longer.
44
00:06:11,612 --> 00:06:14,604
You have years ahead of you,
and you will sleep soundly tonight.
45
00:06:17,385 --> 00:06:21,879
It's a great change in a man's life,
but I also know a single man is only half a person.
46
00:06:23,823 --> 00:06:27,157
As for the contract and the date of the wedding...
I leave that all to you and the rabbi.
47
00:06:28,428 --> 00:06:30,727
Well, thank you, Joseph. You won't regret it.
48
00:06:31,197 --> 00:06:34,724
Mary is a good girl-she'll make
you a beautiful wife.
49
00:06:36,403 --> 00:06:40,339
Shall we sign the contract
the first day of the full moon?
50
00:06:41,174 --> 00:06:46,237
And then after a year's betrothal, celebrate the
wedding in the season of the harvest
51
00:06:47,946 --> 00:06:51,347
when the earth yields up its fruit
and the heart rejoices.
52
00:06:53,318 --> 00:06:55,549
With luck I may be able to see it.
53
00:07:32,957 --> 00:07:34,584
Mary, Mary!
54
00:07:35,659 --> 00:07:37,684
Come out Mary! They're waiting for you!
55
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,236
Mary! Mary! Mary, come! Come quickly!
56
00:07:50,941 --> 00:07:52,407
Shawl! Your shawl!
57
00:08:13,896 --> 00:08:15,523
Thank you. Do not be afraid.
58
00:08:16,998 --> 00:08:18,261
Yes, here she is.
59
00:08:40,588 --> 00:08:41,714
Beautiful
60
00:08:46,394 --> 00:08:52,333
May this betrothal, one to the other,
Joseph, Mary
61
00:08:53,635 --> 00:08:57,934
be blessed and sanctified according
to the law of Moses, and of lsrael.
62
00:08:58,672 --> 00:09:00,003
Amen, Amen!
63
00:10:06,103 --> 00:10:06,967
Who are you?
64
00:10:10,875 --> 00:10:11,773
Who are you?
65
00:10:51,446 --> 00:10:52,504
How can that be?
66
00:10:53,916 --> 00:10:55,440
No man has ever touched me.
67
00:11:28,816 --> 00:11:31,045
Behold the handmaiden of the Lord,
68
00:11:33,186 --> 00:11:36,019
may you be done unto me
according to your word.
69
00:11:44,664 --> 00:11:47,690
Mary? Who are you talking to?
70
00:12:02,982 --> 00:12:04,847
There's news of Elizabeth.
71
00:12:05,617 --> 00:12:07,949
My cousin, Elizabeth? What news?
72
00:12:10,923 --> 00:12:13,823
She's going to have a son
in three months time.
73
00:12:18,096 --> 00:12:25,161
She conceived the child six months ago,
on the 19th day of Tishri.
74
00:12:27,238 --> 00:12:28,762
But Elizabeth was always bad.
75
00:12:30,675 --> 00:12:31,767
Now, she's far too old.
76
00:12:35,613 --> 00:12:37,274
What nonsense is this, child?
77
00:12:37,715 --> 00:12:41,515
Oh, but it's true. She's going to have a son.
78
00:12:45,155 --> 00:12:46,885
And I must go and visit her.
79
00:13:35,870 --> 00:13:44,073
Seems like... the release of these nations,
the Egyptians, the Syrians, King Herod,
80
00:13:45,313 --> 00:13:49,078
to revert to the Jews, I wonder,
is it because, as you say,
81
00:13:49,584 --> 00:13:53,144
they identify future with past
that they have so many prophets?
82
00:13:53,353 --> 00:13:55,947
Oh, the prophets,
it's the sun which breeds them.
83
00:13:57,624 --> 00:14:01,219
Many of them are harmless.
They preach religion, we let them go.
84
00:14:01,628 --> 00:14:04,893
But, some of them preach rebellion
because it is written.
85
00:14:05,899 --> 00:14:09,163
Altogether, literacy has had a
disastrous effect in this country,
86
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:11,934
and those we eliminate.
87
00:14:12,772 --> 00:14:19,735
Rome has taught us that although this may be
indifferent theology, it is very good government.
88
00:14:22,281 --> 00:14:27,183
Majesty, I've heard the word, "Messiah".
What exactly is a Messiah?
89
00:14:27,687 --> 00:14:32,181
Oh, even you have heard that awful word,
Procunuas?
90
00:14:33,091 --> 00:14:35,582
Well, is he a prophet or is he something even-
91
00:14:35,827 --> 00:14:41,732
Well, Rome, even Rome,
cannot influence men's dreams,
92
00:14:43,101 --> 00:14:49,597
and the messiah is a bad dream
disguised as a solution to every problem.
93
00:14:49,774 --> 00:14:56,145
It's a leveler of scores, a rewarder of righteousness,
a scourge for the wrongdoer,
94
00:14:56,982 --> 00:15:00,712
it is the bringer of everlasting peace.
95
00:15:02,119 --> 00:15:07,955
Then, as I understand from what you have said,
a messiah is worse than a prophet,
96
00:15:08,292 --> 00:15:10,089
from the Roman point of view...
97
00:15:10,294 --> 00:15:13,752
From the Jewish viewpoint, too.
I mean, you try telling that to the Jews.
98
00:15:14,131 --> 00:15:17,123
No, don't! Don't! It's much wiser not to consult them.
99
00:15:17,368 --> 00:15:20,928
Just when a messiah appears,
crush it under foot like a young scorpion.
100
00:15:23,707 --> 00:15:28,109
No, you can tell great Augustus,
that he can rest in peace in Rome,
101
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:34,182
there will be no messiahs, true or false,
in Palestine while I am alive.
102
00:15:39,756 --> 00:15:41,655
Come Mary, you'll be comfortable.
103
00:15:43,258 --> 00:15:46,854
Here we go! May the Lord keep
us safe on our journey!
104
00:15:48,263 --> 00:15:49,890
God bless you, child.
105
00:16:00,275 --> 00:16:03,176
Esther, Esther!
Take this to my sister in Bethlehem.
106
00:16:03,411 --> 00:16:06,108
And tell her, tell her I'll be with her for Passover.
107
00:16:07,215 --> 00:16:08,842
Go safely on your journey!
108
00:16:37,712 --> 00:16:39,508
Where do you want the screen,
where should I put it?
109
00:16:48,321 --> 00:16:52,017
Mary! I've been longing to see you.
110
00:17:05,204 --> 00:17:06,193
Mary...
111
00:17:11,075 --> 00:17:12,270
So it is true.
112
00:17:16,180 --> 00:17:18,774
How did you know? Who told you?
113
00:17:20,485 --> 00:17:22,511
A messenger from God.
114
00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:26,451
And he told me another thing.
115
00:17:34,265 --> 00:17:36,256
Athing even more wonderful.
116
00:17:41,105 --> 00:17:42,834
You're blessed among women,
117
00:17:44,275 --> 00:17:46,834
and blessed shall be the fruit of your womb.
118
00:17:48,178 --> 00:17:54,378
I, too, am highly favored that the mother
of the chosen should come to me.
119
00:17:56,086 --> 00:17:59,248
From the moment your greeting reached my ears
120
00:18:02,926 --> 00:18:06,589
the child in my womb leaped for joy.
121
00:18:08,331 --> 00:18:10,423
My soul doth magnify the Lord,
122
00:18:11,866 --> 00:18:14,358
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my savior,
123
00:18:15,104 --> 00:18:18,870
for He has looked kindly upon
the most humble of his handmaidens,
124
00:18:19,908 --> 00:18:23,173
and He has told me that all
generations shall call me blessed.
125
00:18:24,379 --> 00:18:27,281
He who is mighty has done unto
me a mighty thing.
126
00:18:42,596 --> 00:18:43,825
Is it true about Mary's dream?
127
00:18:44,065 --> 00:18:47,228
Oh yes, it's true. News came from Enkarim.
Elizabeth is going to have a child.
128
00:18:47,635 --> 00:18:50,364
- Even though she's past the age?
- Oh yes, she must be nearly fifty.
129
00:18:50,638 --> 00:18:52,502
- Is she the one married to Zacharias?
- Yes, that's the one. She's Mary's cousin.
130
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:55,004
- What? It can't be true!
- Oh, Joseph!
131
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:58,278
Are we going to get an invitation to your wedding?
132
00:19:00,247 --> 00:19:03,875
There's plenty of time for that, Jonathan.
The contract's only just been signed.
133
00:19:04,585 --> 00:19:07,052
Only just betrothed and his
beloved has left him already.
134
00:19:08,488 --> 00:19:11,481
Just like her, She's always been
a bit strange-not like the others.
135
00:19:11,958 --> 00:19:13,482
That's something you'll have to learn to live with.
136
00:19:14,394 --> 00:19:16,624
But seriously, Joseph, Mary is remarkable.
137
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:20,328
We all think so. A remarkable girl.
138
00:19:54,532 --> 00:19:55,557
Give him to me, Elizabeth.
139
00:20:13,017 --> 00:20:17,579
Blessed be thou, our Lord, King of the Universe,
who has blessed us with your commandments
140
00:20:18,288 --> 00:20:22,122
and ordained us to initiate our sons
in the covenant of our father, Abraham.
141
00:20:22,592 --> 00:20:23,456
Amen.
142
00:20:23,694 --> 00:20:25,991
As this child enters the covenant,
143
00:20:26,664 --> 00:20:33,091
so many enter into the study of the Torah
into marriage, and into good deeds?
144
00:20:33,536 --> 00:20:34,503
Amen
145
00:20:40,176 --> 00:20:44,578
This is the seal in flesh of the covenant
between the Lord and his people.
146
00:20:45,949 --> 00:20:48,678
- What is the name of the child?
- His name is...
147
00:20:51,987 --> 00:20:53,545
His name shall be John.
148
00:21:05,166 --> 00:21:06,599
When you get back to Nazareth,
149
00:21:07,635 --> 00:21:11,662
tell Joseph what you have seen and
heard what you know.
150
00:21:13,774 --> 00:21:16,641
The Lord God gives life where no life is possible.
151
00:21:18,713 --> 00:21:23,741
And one life shall be the son of God,
and the other shall be his prophet.
152
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,782
Go, tell all this to Joseph.
153
00:21:34,494 --> 00:21:37,622
But will he believe me?
Will he believe me?
154
00:21:38,999 --> 00:21:40,295
God will open his heart.
155
00:21:51,044 --> 00:21:52,442
That's too much for any man to believe.
156
00:21:53,580 --> 00:21:57,811
But you're not any man.
You, too, are chosen.
157
00:22:08,561 --> 00:22:09,584
I was sick at heart.
158
00:22:11,496 --> 00:22:15,262
You ought to be my wife.
But now, that vow has to be broken.
159
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:23,238
I swear I've never been with her.
160
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,326
What I said about Elizabeth was true.
161
00:23:00,143 --> 00:23:04,875
Don't worry. I believe you.
162
00:23:08,317 --> 00:23:12,151
God's will be done.
163
00:23:17,626 --> 00:23:18,490
Now, you're sure.
164
00:23:19,694 --> 00:23:20,787
She told me herself.
165
00:23:27,168 --> 00:23:30,899
Women are the loveliest and
brightest of God's creations.
166
00:23:32,874 --> 00:23:35,604
And think you would know, but you...
167
00:23:37,912 --> 00:23:41,245
- Please, I need your advice.
- What advice can I give?
168
00:23:43,118 --> 00:23:44,516
- This is all.
- Rabbi, may I?
169
00:24:17,350 --> 00:24:18,544
It is written in the law,
170
00:24:19,852 --> 00:24:26,780
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
00:24:28,561 --> 00:24:34,362
and stoned to death with the abomination that
be crushed out of the heart of lsrael.
172
00:24:36,402 --> 00:24:39,893
Should a man marry a woman which
he finds has no favor in his eyes,
173
00:24:41,339 --> 00:24:45,639
because he has found in hert he stain of uncleanliness,
174
00:24:47,979 --> 00:24:50,948
let him write a bill of repudiation
and deliver it unto her hands.
175
00:24:52,651 --> 00:24:55,414
This law applies even if l haven't taken
Mary into my house?
176
00:24:55,619 --> 00:25:03,994
Yes, yes. All that is needed is for a bill to be written
and delivered in the presence of two witnesses.
177
00:25:06,397 --> 00:25:09,763
No, if l do that I will expose her shame.
178
00:25:11,936 --> 00:25:14,699
I can't.
I can't.
179
00:25:21,277 --> 00:25:25,839
I'll send her away if l must, but in secret.
180
00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:35,623
God knoweth the secret ofthe heart.
Trust in him, and accept.
181
00:25:38,428 --> 00:25:39,689
Accept it, Joseph.
182
00:25:41,530 --> 00:25:42,724
The Lord will not abondon you.
183
00:25:43,966 --> 00:25:44,660
Thank you.
184
00:26:22,403 --> 00:26:23,700
No!
185
00:26:31,411 --> 00:26:32,379
No!
186
00:26:33,014 --> 00:26:34,378
No!
187
00:26:48,294 --> 00:26:52,356
Joseph. Joseph, son of David.
188
00:26:52,965 --> 00:26:55,730
Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.
189
00:26:57,069 --> 00:26:59,867
It is by the Holy Spirit that she has conceived.
190
00:27:01,841 --> 00:27:07,973
She will bear a son, and you shall
give him the name Jesus, the Savior.
191
00:28:01,832 --> 00:28:05,562
Hey, Joseph. Joseph!
The bride is arriving! Mary's here!
192
00:28:55,649 --> 00:28:57,583
- With this ring...
- With this ring...
193
00:28:58,484 --> 00:29:01,942
- Be thou consecrated unto me...
- Be thou consecrated unto me...
194
00:29:03,490 --> 00:29:05,617
According to the law of Moses and of lsrael...
195
00:29:06,159 --> 00:29:08,525
According to the law of Moses and of lsrael...
196
00:29:11,965 --> 00:29:13,934
May the Lord bless and preserve you.
197
00:29:15,435 --> 00:29:17,528
May the Lord make His face shine upon you.
198
00:29:19,238 --> 00:29:23,937
May the Lord lift up His countenance
towards you and give you peace.
199
00:29:24,776 --> 00:29:25,869
Amen
200
00:29:51,570 --> 00:29:54,664
Would you like some grapes or some dates?
I picked them myself from the orchard.
201
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,172
No no no no... I've got one. Bless you.
202
00:30:38,248 --> 00:30:42,741
Your majesty, we have always treated
your country as far as possible
203
00:30:43,787 --> 00:30:45,811
as a free and independent nation,
204
00:30:46,822 --> 00:30:51,589
but the governor of Syria has decided
to include Palestine in a census.
205
00:30:52,995 --> 00:30:55,929
- In that event...
- A census in my territories?
206
00:30:56,832 --> 00:31:01,530
In Galilee, Judea, whatever your motives for this,
they'll be misunderstood.
207
00:31:02,270 --> 00:31:08,176
People will be resentful,
suspicious, perhaps, perhaps even hostile.
208
00:31:08,676 --> 00:31:11,611
As consul, I am here merely to carry out instructions.
209
00:31:12,046 --> 00:31:19,851
My dear, there seems to be one aspect of the problem
of which either Rome or you are entirely ignorant,
210
00:31:20,254 --> 00:31:21,845
and I cannot believe it to be Rome.
211
00:31:22,824 --> 00:31:28,227
The method which you propose to me of your
census are contrary to our tradition.
212
00:31:28,695 --> 00:31:30,560
- Tradition?
- Permit me your Majesty.
213
00:31:31,732 --> 00:31:36,258
I do not think that Marcus Matzo is aware
of the tradition your majesty refers to.
214
00:31:38,338 --> 00:31:42,000
For such official purposes as the taking of the census,
215
00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:48,843
every person living in these territories considers himself
as belonging not to the place where actually he lives,
216
00:31:49,749 --> 00:31:52,081
but to the place of origin in his family group.
217
00:31:53,252 --> 00:31:56,016
His tribe, may I say tribe?
218
00:31:57,857 --> 00:31:59,791
You may say tribe.
219
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:08,825
A census, therefore, means movement of every person back to
what he considers to be his native township, ancestral capital.
220
00:32:09,701 --> 00:32:13,000
To dignify a place which is sometime
no more than a stinking dunghill!
221
00:32:13,239 --> 00:32:20,144
Oh! You choose your phrases most exquisitely...
222
00:32:21,246 --> 00:32:26,013
So, if the census were conducted
according to local tradition,
223
00:32:27,051 --> 00:32:29,747
you think your subjects would accept it more readily?
224
00:32:29,954 --> 00:32:32,286
Oh, I see! Now we're supposed to count ourselves!
225
00:32:32,991 --> 00:32:37,052
Under your supervision, I hope starting with the king?
226
00:32:37,361 --> 00:32:40,853
- That is not.
- Seriously, seriously do you know what this would entail?
227
00:32:41,266 --> 00:32:44,757
The shifting of entire populations! The disruption of trade!
228
00:32:45,002 --> 00:32:49,234
The divine Augustus is counting on your understanding,
your Majesty.
229
00:32:50,774 --> 00:32:54,870
I hope I shall not have to inform him
of any lack of cooperation.
230
00:32:56,947 --> 00:33:04,978
Thank the divine Augustus for
his unswerving benevolence.
231
00:33:06,422 --> 00:33:10,051
That census is a trick to increase the taxes,
232
00:33:10,993 --> 00:33:12,984
and we know where the money ends up in Rome!
233
00:33:13,996 --> 00:33:14,859
But why should it?
234
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,257
What does Rome give us?
235
00:33:18,935 --> 00:33:19,833
That's not the point.
236
00:33:20,903 --> 00:33:24,737
The Romans want to count us
how many we are where we are,
237
00:33:25,674 --> 00:33:27,335
they want us to know that they are our ruler,
238
00:33:29,178 --> 00:33:34,706
but we should have no earthly ruler.
No rule but the Lord, no king but God.
239
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:38,010
It's not for you to remind us of the scriptures.
Be quiet and go home.
240
00:33:39,054 --> 00:33:42,250
I apologize for my son.
He's too young to understand.
241
00:33:42,724 --> 00:33:44,816
What are you doing to the faith of our fathers?
242
00:33:45,192 --> 00:33:48,720
All over of Galilee there are thousands
ofJews preparing for,
243
00:33:49,063 --> 00:33:52,692
for what you're always talking about in there,
the coming of the king who will liberate us.
244
00:33:53,067 --> 00:33:55,160
- Come!
- And what are you doing about it? Nothing!
245
00:33:55,736 --> 00:33:57,397
We accept the violence of the Romans like sheep!
246
00:33:57,938 --> 00:33:59,872
- We are not worthy of the king to come!
- Stop it!
247
00:34:00,474 --> 00:34:02,941
The king to come will not bring violence and bloodshed.
248
00:34:04,811 --> 00:34:08,145
It is written. He himself is pure from sin.
249
00:34:09,115 --> 00:34:11,812
God shall cause him to be mighty
through the spirit of holiness
250
00:34:12,986 --> 00:34:15,887
and wise through the counsel of understanding.
251
00:34:17,156 --> 00:34:20,784
Now come home.
Stay there until you learn more respect for your elders.
252
00:34:47,251 --> 00:34:48,082
Anna.
253
00:34:50,454 --> 00:34:51,546
I must go to Bethlehem.
254
00:34:54,091 --> 00:34:55,081
It's my native town
255
00:34:56,295 --> 00:34:58,990
and, and Mary must come with me.
256
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:04,229
- Why?
- For the census?
257
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:07,131
So even Augustus obeys God.
258
00:35:13,878 --> 00:35:15,936
- The prophecy?
- Yes the prophecy!
259
00:35:18,115 --> 00:35:22,448
For thou, O Bethlehem, art in no ways the least of cities.
260
00:35:23,853 --> 00:35:30,053
For from thee shall come forth
a Shepard of my people, Israel.
261
00:35:34,564 --> 00:35:36,998
If only I could come with you.
262
00:35:40,170 --> 00:35:51,444
If only, I... Joseph, you'll need help when he's born.
263
00:35:52,513 --> 00:35:56,450
Don't you trouble, Anna. He will be well cared for.
264
00:36:00,154 --> 00:36:02,952
Everything will be done as God ordered.
265
00:39:31,823 --> 00:39:36,021
They seem to be kings, Lord Melchior.
From different lands.
266
00:39:36,762 --> 00:39:40,721
I told you we could not have been
the only ones to see the sign.
267
00:39:55,346 --> 00:39:57,781
Come in peace. Where are you bound?
268
00:39:59,150 --> 00:40:00,310
Wherever I am led.
269
00:40:04,221 --> 00:40:05,449
I follow that star.
270
00:40:43,692 --> 00:40:47,093
I'm sure that Herod keeps
a strict watch on his frontiers.
271
00:40:49,498 --> 00:40:51,591
He must know that we've crossed them.
272
00:40:52,801 --> 00:40:56,133
I would have to tell him, as Balthazar said,
273
00:40:57,272 --> 00:41:00,468
that I follow that star, wherever it leads.
274
00:41:01,310 --> 00:41:02,641
But what will we find.
275
00:41:04,712 --> 00:41:10,412
All my calculations show that there was to
be a new heavenly creature, a new star.
276
00:41:12,186 --> 00:41:14,552
It was even precise as to place and time.
277
00:41:15,657 --> 00:41:19,149
So I made up my mind to set forth and see
what they will behold.
278
00:41:19,394 --> 00:41:20,382
You did not know?
279
00:41:21,328 --> 00:41:22,728
Only that it would be something wonderful.
280
00:41:24,131 --> 00:41:27,362
The stars are not distant and aloof,
cut off from the lives of men.
281
00:41:28,435 --> 00:41:34,272
The rising of a new star always entails an immense labor
in the heavens that always has its counterpart on earth.
282
00:41:35,409 --> 00:41:40,278
The universe is about to bring forth
a prodigy beyond our understanding.
283
00:41:40,547 --> 00:41:46,486
Your star, my brother Balthasar,
is indeed a sign of wonder.
284
00:41:47,620 --> 00:41:53,526
The divine solar master says,
the next prophet will show himself in a foreign land.
285
00:41:54,727 --> 00:42:00,495
And the truth he will reveal will be at
first only for his own people...
286
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,268
- But there is only one truth.
- And only one God.
287
00:42:04,836 --> 00:42:08,773
All the rest are vain, or parts of him.
288
00:42:09,775 --> 00:42:11,709
The people of lsrael know this.
289
00:42:12,744 --> 00:42:16,373
Many of their wise men have been close to him,
290
00:42:17,549 --> 00:42:21,485
and their writings confirm my calculations.
291
00:42:24,922 --> 00:42:27,790
A king is about to be born...
292
00:42:28,493 --> 00:42:29,460
A king?
293
00:42:32,596 --> 00:42:37,329
A king who will free us from the evils of this world.
294
00:42:39,436 --> 00:42:40,404
Where will he be born?
295
00:42:42,406 --> 00:42:50,370
The sacred writings point to a small town,
in Judea called Bethlehem Efratta.
296
00:43:46,067 --> 00:43:47,556
Rest there, I'll find a place.
297
00:44:09,756 --> 00:44:11,951
- Excuse me, may I speak with you?
- What do you want?
298
00:44:12,559 --> 00:44:13,924
I desperately need a place to stay for tonight.
299
00:44:16,596 --> 00:44:17,927
My wife is near her time...
300
00:44:18,398 --> 00:44:21,663
No, no, I can't help you.
I already have too many people.
301
00:44:21,935 --> 00:44:23,060
- But I've got...
- Can't you see?
302
00:44:23,536 --> 00:44:25,527
Come on! Close the door!
303
00:44:26,672 --> 00:44:28,538
How many times do I have to tell you
the gate should be shut?
304
00:44:42,954 --> 00:44:45,923
Nothing, but there must be another place,
I'll try again.
305
00:44:46,925 --> 00:44:47,755
How do you feel.
306
00:44:48,726 --> 00:44:49,955
I don't like leaving you alone.
307
00:44:51,495 --> 00:44:52,928
Do you think you could walk a little further?
308
00:44:53,932 --> 00:44:55,762
- Hold on to me...
- Oh, no! No!
309
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,092
Stay there, stay there.
310
00:44:58,636 --> 00:44:59,500
God will help us.
311
00:45:16,753 --> 00:45:19,848
Listen, it's no use trailing around Bethlehem anymore.
312
00:45:20,557 --> 00:45:23,924
Every inn is full up. None of them are
going to take your wife in like that.
313
00:45:24,961 --> 00:45:27,724
Come I'll show you.
Take your donkey.
314
00:45:30,032 --> 00:45:32,763
It's about time. Now do as I tell you,
315
00:45:34,470 --> 00:45:40,705
if you go through that gate over there, just outside
the walls on the road to Jerusalem you'll come to...
316
00:45:41,043 --> 00:45:45,412
careful... you come to some stables, some caves.
317
00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:53,410
It's not much, I know,
but you need warm and dry and plenty of fresh straw.
318
00:45:58,927 --> 00:46:02,385
Look, they're down there. Can you see?
319
00:46:08,536 --> 00:46:14,031
Right. Now then, if l can manage it,
I'll come back later, and help.
320
00:46:15,209 --> 00:46:20,111
Oh, and if anyone tries to throw you out,
just say that Abigail sent you. Abigail.
321
00:46:20,914 --> 00:46:21,812
Remember the name.
322
00:46:22,483 --> 00:46:24,814
We'll remember. Thank you.
323
00:48:44,285 --> 00:48:45,651
Look, Mary.
324
00:49:11,978 --> 00:49:14,310
Oh, beautiful child.
325
00:49:16,015 --> 00:49:17,710
Come on, put him there in the manger.
326
00:49:18,117 --> 00:49:21,144
And see if there is some fresh straw.
That will keep him warm.
327
00:49:23,856 --> 00:49:26,621
I'll take care of her, poor girl.
328
00:49:47,011 --> 00:49:52,142
Now then. Hand me some water.
Give it to me.
329
00:49:54,418 --> 00:49:55,386
Good, that's it.
330
00:50:00,358 --> 00:50:02,986
Who's that?
What do you want?
331
00:50:03,895 --> 00:50:07,661
This is no place for you!
Get out! Get out, you hear me?
332
00:50:08,032 --> 00:50:10,262
Off! Off with you!
Can't you see?
333
00:50:11,235 --> 00:50:12,793
The poor girl's just had a child?
334
00:50:13,303 --> 00:50:15,931
That's why we've come. We were told to.
335
00:50:18,075 --> 00:50:19,302
Told by whom?
336
00:50:19,943 --> 00:50:26,246
We were out there in the fields.
This man came to us from nowhere.
337
00:50:26,883 --> 00:50:28,747
An angel, shepherds he said.
338
00:50:30,387 --> 00:50:34,414
They say that Israel is a scattered
flock that lacks a shepherd.
339
00:50:35,357 --> 00:50:38,452
And then he said,
"Tonight, the shepherd is born.
340
00:50:40,130 --> 00:50:43,292
It is for you that He comes,
"he said. "For the poor."
341
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:47,362
That's why you came here?
342
00:50:48,470 --> 00:50:50,438
Yes. The man said,
343
00:50:53,842 --> 00:50:55,002
he said...
344
00:50:58,113 --> 00:51:07,180
The man said, "Today, in the city of David,
a savior has been born for you.
345
00:51:10,491 --> 00:51:13,255
Glory to God in the highest," he said.
346
00:51:14,728 --> 00:51:17,322
And peace on earth for those who he loves.
347
00:51:22,402 --> 00:51:23,391
Come!
348
00:52:28,365 --> 00:52:34,236
They cross my border,
yet not one of them sends a greeting?
349
00:52:37,207 --> 00:52:38,003
Are they armed?
350
00:52:38,509 --> 00:52:42,775
Not heavily, your majesty. As far as I say,
they were equipped to travel fast and far...
351
00:52:43,180 --> 00:52:44,408
But they were not heading here?
352
00:52:45,983 --> 00:52:47,814
If not here, where?
353
00:52:48,251 --> 00:52:49,809
It was Bethlehem, majesty.
354
00:52:50,454 --> 00:52:53,786
They, they followed a star, the new star.
355
00:52:55,359 --> 00:52:56,257
Bethlehem?
356
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:04,459
O thou, Bethlehem Effrata,
thou art the smallest what was that phrase again?
357
00:53:06,569 --> 00:53:13,531
Thou Bethlehem Effrata,
art little one out of thousands ofJudah.
358
00:53:14,811 --> 00:53:22,239
Out of thee He shall come forth unto thee,
for as to be the ruler in Israel,
359
00:53:22,985 --> 00:53:30,152
and His going forth is from the beginning
from the days of eternity.
360
00:53:40,234 --> 00:53:42,032
A ruler in Israel?
361
00:53:52,879 --> 00:53:56,509
Have those travelers watched all the time.
362
00:54:03,591 --> 00:54:09,460
And bring me the names of all
newborn children in Bethlehem.
363
00:54:28,047 --> 00:54:31,379
...And the glory of the Lord shines over you.
364
00:54:33,085 --> 00:54:37,385
For though darkness covers the earth,
and dark night the nations,
365
00:54:38,590 --> 00:54:40,387
the Lord shall shine upon you.
366
00:54:45,696 --> 00:54:47,096
Come, come!
367
00:54:48,633 --> 00:54:52,900
- I promise that everything will be done the way we agreed.
- It won't take long.
368
00:54:54,172 --> 00:54:55,503
Come, come!
369
00:55:04,114 --> 00:55:05,082
Borsch!
370
00:55:14,425 --> 00:55:22,024
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
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:28,262
This is the seal and flesh of the covenant
between the Lord and His people.
372
00:55:39,615 --> 00:55:40,639
And the child shall be called?
373
00:55:46,655 --> 00:55:47,986
His name shall be Jesus.
374
00:56:16,650 --> 00:56:18,016
Where is he?
375
00:56:39,072 --> 00:56:42,007
Now I can die contented, Lord,
376
00:56:46,345 --> 00:56:48,108
according to Thy word.
377
00:56:59,392 --> 00:57:04,523
I am Simeon,
an old man who has waited long to see his salvation.
378
00:57:06,264 --> 00:57:16,697
And now my eyes have seen the child who will bring
the salvation thou hast prepared before all people.
379
00:57:19,110 --> 00:57:26,278
A light of revelation to the gentiles,
and the glory of thy people, Israel.
380
00:57:38,529 --> 00:57:41,498
And a sword shall pierce your heart.
381
00:58:16,231 --> 00:58:16,754
Next.
382
00:58:18,166 --> 00:58:20,134
- What is your name?
- Joseph of Elias
383
00:58:21,437 --> 00:58:23,200
- Where are you from?
- Eskelon.
384
00:58:23,705 --> 00:58:25,104
Don't forget to take your token with you.
385
00:58:26,408 --> 00:58:28,273
- What's your name?
- Asbar Zadif.
386
00:58:28,477 --> 00:58:30,172
- How many children?
- Seven, this is the youngest.
387
00:58:30,411 --> 00:58:31,344
- How old is she?
- Three.
388
00:58:31,780 --> 00:58:33,372
- Move on.
- And here, seven tokens.
389
00:58:33,915 --> 00:58:35,610
My husband could not come, he's ill.
390
00:58:36,652 --> 00:58:40,212
- Well, there'll be one for him, too, if you explain.
- What are these tokens?
391
00:58:40,821 --> 00:58:44,450
- A coin to prove that you've registered.
- Well, they're little tokens with the emperor's head on them.
392
00:58:50,831 --> 00:58:51,695
Special orders!
393
00:58:56,404 --> 00:58:58,200
We want the names of all the newborn.
394
00:58:59,173 --> 00:58:59,763
Newborn?
395
00:59:00,908 --> 00:59:02,306
Note their names. The newborn.
396
00:59:05,579 --> 00:59:06,374
What did he say?
397
00:59:07,147 --> 00:59:08,775
He wants the names of all the newborn.
398
00:59:09,749 --> 00:59:11,512
Why do they want to know about the newborn?
399
00:59:11,885 --> 00:59:15,149
Well, there's no point in arguing with them.
You just do what you're told.
400
00:59:48,453 --> 00:59:49,386
Wait!
401
01:00:17,380 --> 01:00:18,279
Don't be afraid.
402
01:00:19,583 --> 01:00:20,811
Where is the child?
403
01:00:21,818 --> 01:00:23,911
We have come a long way to greet him.
404
01:00:55,683 --> 01:00:58,311
This is the king of lsrael
405
01:01:00,822 --> 01:01:02,949
who will take away the sins of the world.
406
01:01:09,030 --> 01:01:14,366
I did not know what we were to find,
and coming here, a stable?
407
01:01:15,803 --> 01:01:20,331
I thought my brothers were mistaken,
but now I see the justice of this.
408
01:01:21,942 --> 01:01:23,376
There could be no other place.
409
01:01:23,745 --> 01:01:29,444
Mm... not in glory, but in humility.
410
01:01:30,450 --> 01:01:33,977
Accept these poor tokens of our homage.
411
01:01:34,888 --> 01:01:38,551
Incense, to perfume the halls of the mighty.
412
01:01:44,397 --> 01:01:48,459
Gold, for kingly rule.
413
01:01:49,035 --> 01:01:56,907
Myrrh, the most precious herb of the East,
and the most bitter.
414
01:02:07,786 --> 01:02:10,051
And now, a word of warning.
415
01:02:17,896 --> 01:02:19,693
Leave here as soon as you can.
416
01:02:21,498 --> 01:02:24,798
Herod's soldiers have followed us,
hoping it would lead them to you.
417
01:02:25,102 --> 01:02:27,900
He knows of His birth.
He will seek out the child and kill him.
418
01:02:29,106 --> 01:02:30,836
Go into Egypt.
419
01:02:32,076 --> 01:02:36,445
It may not be for long,
Herod's days are numbered.
420
01:02:45,823 --> 01:02:47,552
Those travelers crossed my frontier again?
421
01:02:48,092 --> 01:02:49,559
- Yes, your majesty.
- Yes, your majesty.
422
01:02:57,133 --> 01:02:59,397
But the child would still be here.
423
01:03:14,237 --> 01:03:21,662
Kill every male child up to one year old,
two years old.
424
01:03:25,671 --> 01:03:29,435
Better the innocent should die,
then that the guilty should escape.
425
01:03:29,967 --> 01:03:33,032
Guilty?
Your majesty, a child?
426
01:03:34,395 --> 01:03:37,460
Guilty of the womb! Guilty of the stars!
427
01:03:37,766 --> 01:03:41,754
I'll bring down their stars!
I'll snuff them out in blood!
428
01:03:42,525 --> 01:03:46,649
This is my world!
I will not share it with an infant!
429
01:03:47,415 --> 01:03:52,891
There is no room for two kings here!
Like a newborn scorpion under foot!
430
01:03:54,290 --> 01:03:58,278
You know the mark of a real king?
Courage!
431
01:03:58,849 --> 01:04:07,300
Even in the face ofJewish prophecy!
Bits of old parchment! Old, blind men! Hah!
432
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,603
Now go to Bethlehem!
I make history!
433
01:04:12,134 --> 01:04:13,216
- Kill!
- But your Majesty!
434
01:04:13,522 --> 01:04:19,956
Kill! Kill them all! Kill! Kill them all!
435
01:05:01,753 --> 01:05:05,279
Leave my child, you blood thirsty murderer!
436
01:06:03,605 --> 01:06:05,538
Lust is fulfilled.
437
01:06:07,507 --> 01:06:12,103
That which was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah.
438
01:06:14,281 --> 01:06:23,711
In Ramah, was there a voice heard, lamentation,
weeping and great mourning.
439
01:06:25,624 --> 01:06:28,854
Rachel, weeping for her children,
440
01:06:31,195 --> 01:06:38,861
but would not be comforted,
because they were no more.
441
01:07:36,482 --> 01:07:38,609
King Herod is dead.
442
01:07:40,253 --> 01:07:41,685
Taken in the midst of his sins.
443
01:07:42,721 --> 01:07:48,819
Struck down by the Lord to whom the power
and pride of kings are as nothing.
444
01:07:49,861 --> 01:07:51,418
You cannot defy God,
445
01:07:52,830 --> 01:07:57,596
the mighty God, the everlasting Father,
the Prince of Peace.
446
01:07:58,867 --> 01:08:02,496
Yet the yoke of tyranny will not be lifted from us.
447
01:08:03,172 --> 01:08:08,940
Rome will choose a king from among his sons,
and her grip will become stronger,
448
01:08:09,744 --> 01:08:13,839
but you should lift up your hearts,
for the Eternal will not abandon us.
449
01:08:14,615 --> 01:08:16,411
He will send us a deliverer,
450
01:08:17,718 --> 01:08:24,919
and His dominion is the everlasting dominion
that shall not pass away.
451
01:08:25,957 --> 01:08:31,395
And his kingdom, that which shall not be destroyed.
452
01:09:37,918 --> 01:09:38,782
Come.
453
01:09:40,354 --> 01:09:45,790
There, look! Do you see? Nazareth!
That's where we live.
454
01:09:59,636 --> 01:10:00,865
Here, O Israel.
455
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,038
The eternal, our God, the Eternal is one.
456
01:10:06,809 --> 01:10:10,437
Blessed be the name of the glory of
the kingdom forever and forever.
457
01:10:11,512 --> 01:10:17,382
And thou should the eternal, thy God,
with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might
458
01:10:18,452 --> 01:10:21,545
and these words which I command
thee shall be in thine heart.
459
01:10:25,524 --> 01:10:26,081
Amen.
460
01:10:26,859 --> 01:10:27,655
Amen.
461
01:10:34,766 --> 01:10:37,791
A man who's skillful in his work,
will stand before kings.
462
01:10:39,303 --> 01:10:43,740
And our work like every other,
has a second meaning in God's eyes.
463
01:10:46,342 --> 01:10:49,833
We use this to make a straight line on the
wood before we cut it,
464
01:10:51,446 --> 01:10:53,676
and as we use the ruler to make straight lines,
465
01:10:54,382 --> 01:10:56,782
God gave us rules to keep our lives straight.
466
01:11:04,891 --> 01:11:05,879
God gives the wood.
467
01:11:07,326 --> 01:11:10,853
And man with his skill and invention,
that God gave him,
468
01:11:11,864 --> 01:11:13,559
is always finding new uses.
469
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,365
Sometimes wonderful uses for it,
470
01:11:21,104 --> 01:11:25,335
a wheel, a plow, a ladder.
471
01:11:28,510 --> 01:11:32,378
They all look simple, but they are from God.
472
01:11:34,583 --> 01:11:38,484
And a ladder can sometimes
reach from earth to heaven.
473
01:11:39,888 --> 01:11:43,823
Joseph! Joseph!
Didn't you say the plow would be ready?
474
01:11:44,124 --> 01:11:44,852
Coming!
475
01:11:51,797 --> 01:11:52,661
Keep on with your work.
476
01:11:54,132 --> 01:11:54,792
What is this?
477
01:11:56,102 --> 01:11:57,068
Well, look at it.
478
01:11:58,536 --> 01:11:59,524
What have you done?
479
01:11:59,971 --> 01:12:01,733
This is not how I asked you to make it!
480
01:12:03,073 --> 01:12:07,100
Oh, no! No! It is not worth labor at all!
481
01:12:09,579 --> 01:12:12,673
It was supposed to be ready days ago,
and now it is not ready.
482
01:12:25,860 --> 01:12:26,950
No, son!
483
01:13:11,931 --> 01:13:15,594
Bless God who has given us the Torah.
484
01:13:16,836 --> 01:13:19,861
The Lord god will go before you.
485
01:13:20,838 --> 01:13:24,102
Be strong and of good courage.
486
01:13:25,042 --> 01:13:31,072
Fear not, do not be afraid, for the Lord,
Thy god, will go with you.
487
01:13:31,881 --> 01:13:34,941
He will not fail you or forsake you.
488
01:13:36,752 --> 01:13:38,049
Amen!
489
01:13:45,492 --> 01:13:46,755
Now you are truly a man.
490
01:13:49,162 --> 01:13:55,930
Jesus by Joseph.
As a new adult member of our community,
491
01:13:58,604 --> 01:14:04,098
you have exercised your right to read
and comment upon the scriptures
492
01:14:05,909 --> 01:14:10,107
that is your heritage.
It is the heritage of the children of lsrael
493
01:14:11,782 --> 01:14:20,813
but remember that God's word is spoken in times
of light and in times of darkness and persecution.
494
01:14:23,125 --> 01:14:27,823
May you always read from the law in a time ofjoy.
495
01:14:28,496 --> 01:14:29,554
Amen.
496
01:14:30,263 --> 01:14:31,731
May God protect you.
497
01:14:32,732 --> 01:14:34,221
May God bring blessings on the boy.
498
01:15:23,642 --> 01:15:24,666
Romans! Here!
499
01:15:26,077 --> 01:15:27,669
Romans? Hey, hey!
500
01:15:28,313 --> 01:15:35,047
Brothers, brothers, quiet!
Shh... The Roman forces are here.
501
01:15:55,669 --> 01:15:57,693
Jewish bread. Better than nothing.
502
01:16:07,611 --> 01:16:09,909
- Who ordered this?
- Quarter master. An army must eat,
503
01:16:10,247 --> 01:16:12,273
and it's a long way from Dumasta to Jerusalem.
504
01:16:12,783 --> 01:16:14,182
But Galilee isn't Roman territory!
505
01:16:14,919 --> 01:16:17,613
Hah! The whole world is Roman territory!
506
01:16:22,925 --> 01:16:28,123
Hey, put your sword back. Ignore them.
You'll meet with plenty of those in Jerusalem.
507
01:16:29,163 --> 01:16:32,963
They're called zealots.
They're mad religious fanatics.
508
01:16:42,208 --> 01:16:42,970
You there!
509
01:16:44,075 --> 01:16:48,376
Remember this!
The Roman army is not a pack of bandits.
510
01:16:49,081 --> 01:16:53,813
And we'll be through with the likes
of you in our own good time. Come!
511
01:17:03,392 --> 01:17:07,351
May the curse of God fall upon these murderers!
512
01:17:13,867 --> 01:17:16,927
How long must we wait? How long?
513
01:17:17,906 --> 01:17:19,770
Are you to help us?
514
01:17:22,109 --> 01:17:23,632
God has abandoned us.
515
01:17:25,444 --> 01:17:26,876
How long?
516
01:17:31,383 --> 01:17:32,781
How long?
517
01:18:28,097 --> 01:18:29,428
Look, Jerusalem.
518
01:19:16,738 --> 01:19:20,538
This is a lamb with no mark, without blemish.
519
01:20:14,119 --> 01:20:20,148
...are not enough to please our Father, our eternal God.
A prayer of the heart is more important.
520
01:20:20,925 --> 01:20:24,452
Do you remember what King Solomon
said after he built the temple?
521
01:20:25,929 --> 01:20:28,124
Standing in front of the temple of the Lord,
522
01:20:29,333 --> 01:20:34,894
he spread out his hands and said,
"Can God indeed dwell with His creatures on earth?
523
01:20:35,538 --> 01:20:39,439
Heaven itself, the highest heaven,
cannot contain thee,
524
01:20:40,408 --> 01:20:42,899
how much less this house that I have built?
525
01:20:44,545 --> 01:20:48,106
Yet attend to the prayer and supplication
of thy servant, O Lord,
526
01:20:49,148 --> 01:20:53,948
that thine eyes can always be always
upon this house, day and night.
527
01:20:55,921 --> 01:21:00,380
This place of which thy bid to say,
'It shall receive my name."'
528
01:21:00,624 --> 01:21:01,852
Son!
529
01:21:04,462 --> 01:21:06,225
We've been looking for you everywhere.
530
01:21:07,465 --> 01:21:09,955
Why were you looking for me everywhere?
531
01:21:11,167 --> 01:21:15,000
Did you not know you would have found me
in my father's house?
532
01:21:18,307 --> 01:21:22,174
O Lord, I grow old.
533
01:21:23,611 --> 01:21:27,205
What have thy promised to the prophets.
Where are they?
534
01:21:28,882 --> 01:21:38,016
"Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and tell her that her time of bondage has ended.
535
01:21:39,592 --> 01:21:45,529
That her penalty is paid.
Salvation is at hand.
536
01:21:46,864 --> 01:21:49,128
To be shouted from the mountaintops...
537
01:22:03,345 --> 01:22:12,308
The teaching is clear behold thy send my
messenger and He will clear the way before me.
538
01:22:18,424 --> 01:22:21,518
Messenger before me...
539
01:22:26,564 --> 01:22:32,331
messenger.
And the Lord will suddenly come to His temple,
540
01:22:33,303 --> 01:22:38,069
and the messenger of the covenant,
behold, is here."
541
01:22:43,711 --> 01:22:47,908
The people of Galilee thought they
had seen the depths of inequity
542
01:22:48,282 --> 01:22:51,910
when their land was ruled by Herod,
the mayor of blood.
543
01:22:52,719 --> 01:23:01,091
But now his son and the Herod Antipas, the new prince
of Galilee strives to outdo his fathers' crimes
544
01:23:02,060 --> 01:23:06,087
for he follows his last's and breaks faith with God.
545
01:23:06,665 --> 01:23:13,660
He dares to defy the law of Moses by entering
into unholy marriage with the wife of his brother.
546
01:23:14,537 --> 01:23:18,371
Can we permit this?
All of us will suffer for his sins!
547
01:23:42,127 --> 01:23:44,356
...Messenger for King!
548
01:23:46,998 --> 01:23:49,466
Your majesty, he's here, the Baptist.
549
01:23:50,635 --> 01:23:51,464
He's here?
550
01:23:54,271 --> 01:23:54,704
Well?
551
01:23:56,105 --> 01:23:57,471
Well, well what?
552
01:23:58,241 --> 01:23:59,004
What?
553
01:23:59,307 --> 01:24:01,400
Well, uh... leave him alone.
554
01:24:03,311 --> 01:24:05,142
We'll march again! Continue!
555
01:24:11,418 --> 01:24:13,750
Oh, what harm can he do?
556
01:24:15,222 --> 01:24:21,023
He's been out there for years in the desert
living on locusts and, and, and prayers.
557
01:24:21,561 --> 01:24:26,691
He doesn't incite the people to rebellion!
He asks nothing for himself.
558
01:24:27,465 --> 01:24:30,229
All he wants is to remain poor and naked.
559
01:24:31,270 --> 01:24:34,067
And he would do very much like
everyone else doesn't the same.
560
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:40,265
Oh no, when the wedding festivities is over,
I'll have him preach at the palace.
561
01:24:40,509 --> 01:24:43,171
You can hear him with your own ears.
He's a very remarkable.
562
01:24:45,480 --> 01:24:47,745
I'm glad there is somebody remarkable in Judea.
563
01:24:48,550 --> 01:24:49,539
Herod!
564
01:24:52,086 --> 01:24:56,579
Herod! The tablets of the law speak plainly!
565
01:24:57,457 --> 01:25:03,793
You may marry the wife of your brother
when your brother is dead, but not while he lives!
566
01:25:04,596 --> 01:25:11,194
This woman, Herodias, is the wife of your brother Phillip,
and Phillip lives...
567
01:25:12,403 --> 01:25:18,500
It is written, "I have seen thine adulteries
and thine abominations, woe unto them!"
568
01:25:19,609 --> 01:25:21,339
Will thou not be made clean?
569
01:25:21,778 --> 01:25:25,179
Send this woman back to your brother! Repent!
570
01:25:26,815 --> 01:25:29,716
How can you allow this longer to continue?
571
01:25:31,086 --> 01:25:35,851
No, we decided to be clement on our wedding day.
572
01:25:36,223 --> 01:25:39,487
I'm not afraid of your power on earth, Herod Antipas!
573
01:25:40,126 --> 01:25:44,186
if I do not warn you, you will die in sin.
574
01:25:44,864 --> 01:25:48,355
And the Lord will ask me to account for your life!
575
01:25:50,668 --> 01:25:52,101
Quickly! Into the palace!
576
01:26:01,277 --> 01:26:03,711
Repent! Repent!
577
01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:08,745
- The Lord blesses you!
- For the kingdom of heaven is at hand!
578
01:26:11,852 --> 01:26:14,447
Brothers, we can make use of this man!
579
01:26:15,656 --> 01:26:20,149
His attacks on Herod Antipas excites
people makes them think of lsrael.
580
01:26:20,593 --> 01:26:24,654
Don't be too sure about it.
Prophets only make men think of our God in Heaven.
581
01:26:25,331 --> 01:26:30,597
So do we, and if we want to direct people's thoughts,
we must use what means we can.
582
01:26:31,202 --> 01:26:34,694
Yes, but we zealots want to see the
power of God on earth fighting the Romans.
583
01:26:36,108 --> 01:26:36,869
Does John want that?
584
01:26:37,641 --> 01:26:42,544
The time has come!
The great and terrible day of the Lord is at hand!
585
01:26:43,380 --> 01:26:46,577
Repent! And change your lives!
586
01:26:50,919 --> 01:26:57,288
Every valley shall be exalted!
Every mountain in here laid low.
587
01:26:58,925 --> 01:27:03,658
The winding way shall be straightened!
And the rough way made smooth.
588
01:27:04,398 --> 01:27:08,266
God let you back from Babylon to serve
Him but you betrayed Him!
589
01:27:08,701 --> 01:27:11,636
Now you are warned! Please! Please!
590
01:27:19,844 --> 01:27:27,477
"I am the Lord unchanging," says the Eternal,
"and you too shall not cease to be sons of cheaters.
591
01:27:28,284 --> 01:27:32,879
From the days of your forefathers you have
been wayward, and have not kept my laws.
592
01:27:33,890 --> 01:27:38,952
If you will return to me,
I will return to you!" says the Lord.
593
01:27:39,826 --> 01:27:44,264
Do not think you will be save by your rituals,
by going to the temple
594
01:27:44,798 --> 01:27:47,460
it is not sacrifices the Lord demands!
595
01:27:49,201 --> 01:27:55,469
Bring no more vain offerings at the Lord.
"I delight not in the blood of lambs".
596
01:27:56,374 --> 01:28:00,640
The sacrifice that God demands is a repented heart!
597
01:28:01,211 --> 01:28:04,203
- What can we do, then, to be saved?
- Change your hearts!
598
01:28:05,916 --> 01:28:07,440
Take the right way!
599
01:28:08,351 --> 01:28:11,808
The Lord said that my ways are not your ways.
600
01:28:12,321 --> 01:28:14,687
Why speak as though none of
us know the way to salvation.
601
01:28:15,290 --> 01:28:18,418
We know the law as well as you,
and we try to obey it!
602
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:23,423
We are the sons of Abraham.
We have always kept the law.
603
01:28:24,198 --> 01:28:27,689
To those of you that seen themselves just and pious,
604
01:28:28,502 --> 01:28:32,562
I say that you must bring the fruits of repentance!
605
01:28:33,705 --> 01:28:39,371
Do not content yourself with saying,
"Abraham was a father, and that is enough to save us."
606
01:28:40,445 --> 01:28:46,542
The Lord could take anyone of these stones
and turn it into a son of Abraham.
607
01:28:48,552 --> 01:28:50,985
Pharisees, we know you! Go back to Jerusalem!
608
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:53,579
Yeah, go back to Jerusalem! It's right.
609
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,500
...You are the prophet! Save us John! Save us!
610
01:29:11,403 --> 01:29:19,275
I baptize you with water that you may be
purified and ready for the coming of the kingdom.
611
01:29:20,344 --> 01:29:21,835
Open up your hearts to God!
612
01:29:24,581 --> 01:29:27,515
Receive this cleansing light!
613
01:29:28,018 --> 01:29:32,680
Save me, save me, John! I have sinned!
Have mercy on me, John. I am a sinner!
614
01:29:33,389 --> 01:29:36,381
Let his water wash away your sins.
615
01:29:50,036 --> 01:29:54,563
Disgrace! Go back! Go back!
616
01:30:01,413 --> 01:30:04,848
John, you'll pay for it! You'll pay for it!
617
01:30:13,722 --> 01:30:24,689
Oh! One day they'll almost stoned me to death!
Is that what you want?
