[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

you're off balance come on

let's go

balance no balance get up

don't lunge that way take a short step

maintain your balance go on try it

yes yes

[Applause]

keep your shield higher higher

well done come forward

you are

a novice

yes

yes you'll try as a retirees

you seem skilled enough to fight for the

net

yes come prepare yourself

remember this is our family

i see but tell us

you wanna tell us i am julius caesar she

wants you

[Music]

well we're no respecters of persons here

let's see what you can do

rectiarius

[Music]

juice

this one

that one looks strong yes you can learn

something from him

stop

i have a new match for you

begin

[Music]

hold that dead tighter

[Music]

don't ah that shield hold it higher

higher

that's enough for today

[Laughter]

forgive me i did not know that a woman

could train as a gladiator

are you a slave only a fear i'm learning

to defend myself

you have no one to fight for you no one

brave enough

[Applause]

my name is corinna what's yours

metellus

[Music]

caleb it's caleb

[Music]

so it has arrived a statue of our divine

calligra

what do i do cornelius temporize

delay how to shift responsibility

the true art of the ruler

on the other hand if you want a general

massacre on both sides obey the man

or god as he thinks he is i needn't find

out to you the utter blasphemy of this

business blasphemy

i hear that word all the time from the

jews i don't understand it

perhaps i've had the wrong sort of

education if they believe in one god

then why can't the image of this one god

stand in that damn temple

here's the wrong sort of education you

mean they should pretend that the image

of the deified gaias caligula is really

the image of their only god

a god that has no images i understood

until according to this new jewish sect

god had turned himself into a man

a slave called christus

slight confusion there procuretta

christos

by grant has common enough name among

slaves

what does it mean cheerful useful

helpful

the name you mean is christus and that's

attached to a man who was not a slave

but a son of the royal house of david

jesus of nazareth his followers are

called nazarenes

christos means anointed with sacred oil

like a king

they call him the king of the jews the

messiah

i must remember to stop seeking

information from you cornelius you give

me far too much

but i will take your advice

the divine caligula had better go into

temporary storage

we've got enough trouble with these damn

jews in that unholy temple

you've also given me an idea rome shall

be told that this whole matter had

better be entrusted to a higher

authority

to publius governor of syria

yes let him deal with it

[Music]

execute them macro the time has come for

us to conquer britannia

subdue the pagan britons and i say that

we lack the gold that will enable us to

finance our invasion

so now what is the opinion of our

omnipotent

prefect caesar's proposal is

unacceptable

it is acceptable to caesar and that's

enough caesar needs money

nevertheless it would be unjustifiable

and even dangerous

to arbitrarily execute roman patricians

in order that their estates may be

seized it will not be arbitrary if you

fasten crimes onto them it's perfectly

standard practice isn't it

see to it macro now

with the respect kaya caesar why don't

you sell something

you could set a worthy example by

auctioning off some of the imperial

commodities

you personally own a number of estates

slaves

vineyards what i own is rome's property

are you suggesting that i should steal

from rome

i have always been so munificent

i will sell my sister's properties

lands slaves

everything good but that will take time

perhaps you should postpone the invasion

the land alone will finance the invasion

and the rest will pay for my triumphant

return

very good caesar

is that all no macro it is not all

you've ceased to be of service to me

macro

i'm tired of having to think for you

i want you to go away leave your office

and rome and go somewhere

very far away

mauritania perhaps

no egypt

egypt for you

[Music]

you go now

if indeed he ever leaves his native soil

[Music]

what happened to you little bird you're

ill

you hardly move your wings

[Music]

oh

i command you in the name of the lord

jesus christ

will depart from the body of this man go

and

[Applause]

[Music]

clear

another miracle beware of that word

simon

call it the victory of faith we did

nothing the grace of god did it all

but the power is in you and philip and

john it's a kind of magic ah

what do you mean by magic the power to

change things that are not changed by

the course of nature i once had the

appearance myself i called it magic but

it was only trickery

i learned it in alexandria we learnt

this nowhere

the power is not in us the power is in

god

i would like that power why simon

why would you like that power to uh do

good in the world

to show the world i'm one of god's

favorite people like you for your own

glory

i did not say that i do not mean i

learned to follow the christ and observe

this egyptian trickery

but now i am no longer simon the

magician i have no skills

you have a skill and a precious one i

would like that skill

curing the sick healing the lame and the

blind these are nothing simon

they're but sparks out of the flames of

faith in god

or they show us god's power yes but it's

more important we should learn of god's

mercy

give me the power i can pay for it

i can pay well i made much gold and

silver out of duping the people

now that money can go to you to do with

as you will

but in exchange i ask that you give me

the power

you've understood nothing nothing at all

of our mission or the faith that we

teach

you would buy god's grace god's power

god's mercy i only wish to do good to

cure the sick to bring the dead to life

to your own honor and glory the power is

in your hands i've seen you so often lay

those hands upon the afflicted

i wish to the glory of god to have that

power in my own hands

i can pay well a thousand sisters

two thousand damned is your money

and damned are you two unless you repent

of this wickedness

wickedness what wickedness you do not

perceive wickedness

there is as much wickedness in willful

ignorance as in willful sin

sin is a kind of ignorance as ignorance

is a kind of sin but you taught me the

christ himself made a bargain with god

he sold his life on the cross he bought

our redemption

the whole of life is buying and selling

therefore i say sell me the power

we thank you for the hospitality of your

house

i can beat you this miracle game anytime

it's only triggering your heavy

[Music]

it doesn't move

instead

[Music]

so it hasn't helped much you joining the

new faith

subject has to believe you can't expect

a sparrow to believe

although according to our friend philip

god watches even over sparrows

[Music]

oh it's no good i'll get you a new one

in the market

be the same that's a terrible thing

eating the death was fairy my dear sweet

daphne you're too tenderhearted

only animals know death men and women

live forever

that's the new teaching you believe that

son

it's a consoling thought we die then we

start a new life

somewhere i have never thought much of

the una

knox dornienda what does that mean

ah it's latin one long night

to be slept through without awakening

ah the roman poet catalyst wrote that

he also wrote a love poem about the

death of sparrow

i think samaria can look after itself

back to jerusalem together no not

together

that wastes our resources there are

samaritan villages to visit on the way

you philip wants to go to gaza but saul

will be waiting for us back home

i hear different news from damascus

i don't speak as a nazarene because i'm

not a nazarene

at least not yet but i take it you still

regard me as a friend

friend and brother and you're concerned

for my life well i'm also concerned for

it

i've much to do and i start late but the

cause isn't helped by a show of

cowardice

paul the streets are dangerous at night

it's pure madness to venture out they've

asked for me haven't they

a fellow nazarene lies dying and in need

of my words

am i to skulkie here because of a few

hot heads with daggers

besides i have a bodyguard

don't i i'm going

paul listen wait

that's him that's paul

[Music]

oh come on

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

go come away

hurry

[Music]

he is led as a lamb to slaughter

[Music]

and as a lamb before his era he is dumb

and so he opens not his mouth

in his humiliation his judgment is taken

away

who will declare his generation

for his life has been taken away from

the earth

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

stop stop go shalom will you ride with

me

you're very kind yeah go come you're

from jerusalem

are you comfortable good good

i suppose you could call me one

sympathetic with the jewish scriptures

like my queen arkandas of ethiopia yes

your office is high i can see i'm state

treasurer

as a state treasurer we are expected to

carry part of the treasury about on our

box

whenever we travel that is

what would have been home i just much

more simply

i call myself a simple man

also a reading mouth my personal

treasury

is my books but there's still

i'm such a simple man there's still

things i do not quite understand

like your hebrew scriptures for instance

these

this the prophet isaiah yes

he was led as a lamb to the slaughter

who's led his lamb to slaughter who does

isaiah mean himself or someone else

somebody else

it will take rather long to tell

we have time look around nothing but

desert

we got time you tell me it had happened

as the prophet had announced

a maiden will conceive and give birth to

a son and they will name him emmanuel

meaning god is with us and isaiah said a

voice

cries in the wilderness prepare a way

for the lord

make his path straight and john the

baptist appeared in the desert

baptizing people with the life-giving

water as jesus asked us to do

you want me to go in the water will you

[Music]

i baptize you in the name of jesus

christ

[Music]

alexandria and his jewish delegation has

to be heard about your

statue in jerusalem

try it on um on jupiter

[Music]

this traditional concept of a single god

not of many gods jupiter

juno venus saturn and the rest

well caesar it has long been accepted by

the roman state

that the jewish tradition is to be

respected

even if alexandria and judea are part of

the roman empire

only the emperor exacts respect

your god the god of my friend herod

agrippa

is merely tolerated this is bizarre

exotic amusing it adds its own color to

the glorious patchwork of

our empire has even taught something to

our empire this very notion of one god

god is the emperor the emperor is god

what could be more satisfying it is not

very satisfying to the jews

our god to us is unborn

undying immortal

even the emperor must die

the emperor is god god

is the emperor ergo

i'm immortal don't you speak to me of my

death

i beg caesar's pardon let me confine my

petition to this

do not we beg for the sake of the

tranquility of your palestinian

possessions

insist that your statue be installed in

the holy temple of jerusalem it has

already been installed

to the great satisfaction of the jewish

people now they can

see their god now they have a solidity

to bow

down to i would be shaming the faith of

our fathers if i said

yes caesar that is so but it is not so

your procurator marcellus is a man of

good sense

and a credit to caesar's capacity for

choosing good administrators

i did not use him the emperor tiberius

chose him

has he disobeyed our orders he has very

wisely

delayed to obey them but now the envoys

from rome

on their annual visit to judea have

urged immediate compliance

this may lead to unfortunate events

even a revolt

why have i not been told of this why are

things kept from me

to conclude your procurator marcellus

may be forced to order that your statue

we beg of you to have the order resin

get out of here you

rioters unwashed jews i shall be rid of

your friendly procurator

i shall have him recalled and punished

we will instruct publius our governor in

syria

to carry out this order without delay

and open his veins should he fail

i also have a mind to give you a new

king

herod agrippa when he returns to

jerusalem

my image will greet him in your temple

and the people

will worship it according to the sacred

imperial rites

now get your superstition out of here

with respect caesar in our tradition

there is no room for superstition

ouch we jews do not practice magic

nor do we resort to violence

[Applause]

let's

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh

joseph barnabas i must go

has no news come from damascus it is not

news easy to believe

nevertheless you must believe it

will you take me to the brethren bonus

i am alone i'm unarmed

soul we here talk of your sudden

conversion but it's hard to accept

a man doesn't change from a hater of the

faith to a preacher of the faith not

like that not overnight

it was much less than overnight

your faith tells you to believe in

miracles does it not

you see a man totally changed

even my name has changed we heard that

too

oh

i am one of you help me

come along quickly what i don't

understand is this

if you're so frightened of a rest and

retribution and all the rest of it

why have you come back to jerusalem you

know we're in hiding

i came back for instructions well that's

honest anyway

tell the chief priest you're pretending

to be a nazarene and what do i do now

your holiness oh yes very very clever

don't be a fool thomas

he means instructions from us from jesus

lives among us jesus

who spoke to me who blinded me

and made me see

you are the one they call his brother

james the just

i know this is a

sudden change i am still an instrument

but now

the other hands what you want me to do

what i say to you saul paul

paul is that you should get away from

here

think things over oh i've thought things

over or should i say it was done for me

you know you's dead it's dead you'll be

if you stay here

i'll get home you'll be safe there home

tarsus get back to your father and your

mother and your books and your tent

making

meditate prepare yourself better

you can take ship from caesarea barnabas

and

thomas not me

barnabas and james

will go with you as far as the port you

have money enough

when do i come back to jerusalem i don't

know

perhaps never you're a traveling man

you're young enough and strong enough

for the big journeys

some of us here are getting too old

you'll have much to do

go with the lord

[Music]

go in peace

[Applause]

they want you to fight in pompeii there

will be dangerous men there

when are you leaving your said that i

should be in pompei by the end of the

week

they're staging these games to celebrate

caligula's future victories

mockery after mockery

don't get hurt

i find it easier to train my limbs for a

man's game than my heart

i can fight you in the arena caleb with

the mad hope of winning one day

but when i am alone with you i am little

more than a slave

you're a patrician i was no more than a

slave to be sacrificed at a banquet in

calila's palace

fortune was with me another slave girl

was nearly killed

speak of my nightmares

i often dream of my sisters being beaten

killed you haven't been able to find

them

i call her my good friend is still

helping me he doesn't give up easily

he lives by faith

[Applause]

what does he think your citizens could

be anywhere

in a palace or the country villa of some

rich senator

sarah and luke oh that's so young

and beautiful the special beauty some of

our girls are

am i beautiful

you're different your beauty is

different

you're not my sister

juno be praised i happen to like you

research is over back to training

let us go back to work

[Music]

moment

school not the arena

[Music]

god

you seem to like her and you're trying

to kill her

go

[Music]

father

[Applause]

[Music]

father shall walk home with you

you will not i need to be alone i have

many things to tell you

i've heard enough already

someone handed this to me it's a poem

here the gladiators grunt she slashes

and batters

see her face a glow as she plunges to

kill

you've shamed us all with your lusting

after sweat and blood

you nearly lost me one night

do you remember a young slave girl

tortured

and enough it was not enough

caligula wanted more he wanted me i

protested

i cried out to him it's not your protest

that saved me

just chance had he had his way

you would have no daughter now to be

ashamed of

i would have killed myself i could have

sent you away

far from rome you cannot run away from

your conscience father

not for much longer this is my city

this is my life i learn how to protect

it

by brandishing a sword mixing with

slaves

i'm looking at death in the eye

i can see no shame no slavery

do you know what the gladiators call

their school the family

you cannot be proud of it as for your

real family

you degraded the dignity of a daughter

wrong what is wrong

father a mad emperor

a senate that cowers under his whip

i am the daughter of a good roman who

lives in bad times

as long as i live there is no place for

you in our family

[Music]

the gods will be merciful i pray to them

to number my days

[Music]

father

you return to tarsus to tell me this i

cannot believe it

i will not you must

and you must be reconciled to it things

change

god ordained it the empire broken from

within

the jewish law torn by the turmoil of

sects with a different interpretations

heresy

double heresy don't talk to me of heresy

father you mingle with the roman pagans

i show no more than respect i remain a

good jew

and a good citizen so do i

but i accept the messiah i have too much

respect for roman order to wish to see

it collapse under a madman

you speak of the emperor but i

acknowledge only one master now father

i absorb the world's madness whether of

gaius caligula

or of saul of tarsus your son

to abandon your own name

the name you answered to when you were

called up to read from the torah

oh saul saul you must know there's no

room for you here

i expected that

disinherited and disowned

your grandfather was honored with roman

citizenship

i served the tradition of our fathers

from the very first day i could recite

the verses from the torah

a good jew and a good roman

gets his reward and you will get yours

someday

the hedman's axe or the stones of the

mob or the shame of the cross

not shame

don't talk of shame

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

i wonder what the natives call it

there's no one named marcus

each tribe has its own little region

which it thinks to be the big world

and now the real big world rushes in the

roman eagle

spreads its wings until it splits it

this is known as building an empire and

this this valarious is the last party

and what do we bring law and order

roads temples for the worship of the

divine caligula

slaves tribute gold and

to replenish the depleted coppers of

rome

britannia as a cure for insolvency

we better take post

[Music]

do

[Music]

so

[Music]

hello hmm

[Applause]

[Music]

hey

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

soldiers of the empire your brave hearts

and fine bodies

have reached the northern shore of the

province of gold

from here you will embark

and sail to the shores of britannia

britannia will fall to us

and be ours this

is a solemn occasion

the last province of the roman empire

awaits our acquisition

but first there is an important thing

that i wish you to do

these shells spread all along the shore

are the spoils of the ocean

they are roman property

and as such they must be returned

to rome gather them

[Music]

put down your arms and

gather them all of them caesar

you heard me cassius gather them

this will do it i know

you can't survive this the humiliation

of the imperial army

can't the shame of it

[Music]

he can't

[Music]

beautifully made aren't they

[Music]

exquisite workmanship that old god had

remarkable creative gifts

but the new god gets the benefit of them

just as it should be

divine caesar when do we embark

embark or britannia

[Music]

one uh at the time cassinis

today neptune's booty

another day britannia

let our ships sail back

to road

[Music]

oh

[Applause]

oh

[Applause]

tabitha

yes please come what has happened to her

tabitha is dead where is the body

what were his words um

talithakumi to bring the dead back to

life

that's not for us no you have to do what

he did peter

he said we had to we saw him conquering

death

[Music]

rise little girl

[Music]

tabitha kumi rise up

in the name of the lord

so

um

look the situation is not clear no

situation ever is when rome's involved

we stay but the procurator goes no

procurator

so who are we responsible to you're

responsible to me

i seem to be directly responsible to

this man in syria probably as petronius

isn't it

probably as petronius the governor so we

moved to jerusalem

we'll be needed more in jerusalem than

caesarea

when the statue is put in i can't see

that

i can't see how the jews would ever

allow it seems to be up to the roman

army to make sure that they do meaning

us

and the auxiliaries from syria

the god caligula

the jews and romans alike

don't think i can stand much more of the

world's madness

you know where sanity lies don't you you

said something about

it centurion we need somebody to talk to

us

the man i mean isn't far from here

providential

i wonder i want your men to ride to

jaffa

joppa whatever they call it

a fisherman humble man for humble men

been doing strange things there strange

oh wonderful i don't know what words to

use

even words are losing their meaning in

this time of the world's madness

ask for the man peter everybody will

know where he is

you and you bring him here

[Applause]

[Music]

go home it's not me

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

should i eat all this

nothing is forbidden

all is good all these gods

gods gods

calm down calm down peter

pig slash washed down with goat's milk

unclean food no no our laws forbid

forbidden

you've been dreaming again dreaming

i saw this awning come down on me

and it was filled with all sorts of

animals

the ones were permitted to eat together

with the forbidden ones

and the voice said rise peter

kill and eat three times i heard it

it's just a bad dream peter it means

you're hungry

it means we must not be afraid of

breaking bread with the gentiles thomas

of eating their food if we're to bring

them the good news

do you remember the time when jesus

disputed with the scribes about what we

should and shouldn't eat according to

our ancient laws

he said it is not what goes into a man's

stomach that defiles him

but what comes out of his heart

where is the fisherman peter the

fisherman over there

in the house of the cannon

[Music]

it's not done to enter the house of the

uncircumcised

your brain creaks like your joints

thomas

the faith has to be brought to the

gentiles no no no it's for the jews and

the jews only

i'm not going in anyway be it on your

own head

[Music]

oh

[Music]

centurion here is peter what

i'm a man like you i offer you peace

according to god's commandments i know

the commandments of your leaders master

i'm not master please please not master

that it's unlawful for you to mix with

the uncircumcised romans the oppressing

romans

but you're defiled by entering my house

yet for me you defy the rules that's why

i honor you

it's clear that god is no respecter of

persons

every nation that fears him and does

right

seems to be acceptable to him

you seek baptism in the name of the lord

jesus christ yes

[Music]

i

[Music]

receive this cleansing water

i baptize you in the name of the lord

our father

and of the sound and of the holy spirit

oh

[Music]

i often wonder what people feel when

they look at us down here

it's from up there that they pull our

strings

so come up here

[Music]

sometimes the puppets fool the

puppeteers karina

strings are cut play changes no

we are given one stage one play

caleb i must keep believing that rome

can be

beaten one day i must not betray my

call it's grown faint in my ears

time and distance are making it harder

and harder for me to remember who i

am where i am

you hold me as though i were your

prisoner is it rome you are subjugating

by holding me

no i don't know

my need for you angers me you

are rome beautiful full of wonders

and our oppressor

and i like you and want

you despise myself for it

i am not rome not the wrong you hate

have patience with me

there are days when my heart

tears away from me and all i can think

of is my land

my mother buried there with

roman sandals trampling over her

a day like this you call it sabbath

it's our holy day

people make fun of your sabbath in rome

they call it superstition

oh no not a superstition

it's a pact we entered into with god

the seventh day is devoted to rest in

his name

that's what sabbath means rest

it binds us to him keeps us together

the penis is good to allow you not to

practice today

a good frightening man zepanius

he's loyal to us to his family

he's patient untiring hmm

few of us live long enough to tire him

a dispensable family hail caleb

she who is going to die salute you don't

afraid of bad omens

look

i can read our fortune in their flight

we

shall live forever so be careful in

[Music]

pompeii

[Music]

[Applause]

shouldn't be here nor i i mean that in a

wider sense

the madness grows worse you could leave

i can't

family tradition service to the emperor

my father and my grandfathers too

their emperors were different julius

augustus

there were three men in those times now

we're all slaves how will it end

it will end with someone sticking a

dagger in the divine caligula

as he stuck a dagger in one of my

soldiers this morning

a friend by the way why you need to ask

why when you saw what happened to your

sister

power divorced from reason

i call that madness when i strike

there will be a reason in the point of

my dagger you

somebody like me it will be the army

certainly

he thinks the army loves him pathetic

it may well be the striking arm of the

people i don't understand these things

rome is not a real place the torture and

the death are real enough

so is the millions spent on temples and

shrines of the god caligula

the people taxed to the limit

you've been sold into roman madness

and we were always told you jews were

the mad ones

that you had to learn the virtues of

roman stability

there's madness enough in palestine you

you look who's coming i mean you

whatever your name is

didn't you hear me call if you don't

know my name adam then how could i know

this man was at the gate no one answered

i had to go and let him in myself you

the imperial guard

is your duty to guard i shall leave this

man in your care

person

this family since the days of the

republic

remade

i'm marrying a jewish girl

a slave slavery dear mother is a

a status decreed by tyranny not by blood

or lack of talent

if a girl of a good palestinian family

is turned into a slave

thanks to the vindictiveness of a roman

official

it is not she that is made contemptible

it is the roman

system that is made contemptible strange

words for the son of rome

rome is not what it was god

knows when it will be what it was again

what

what is this word god

have you been learning something from

the jew yes forgiveness

a word we have forgotten

and also what

that they have only one god

here gods multiply every day

the divine caligula our new god has to

pay for his mock campaigns

his heavenly indebted taxes can no

longer come to his rescue

he's finally selling what's left of his

sister's properties

to buy

a well-born jewish lady out of slavery

be sold with the others

the price will be too high he even asked

his father for help

his father

swimming in a big ocean

and sarah still in danger

that the secret of life is hope

that even death may not be the end

[Music]

[Music]

i had to promise to stay in the

emperor's service

father mother my friends

i call on you to be my witnesses

i give back to this woman sarah her

freedom

i ask her to become my wife

[Music]

i have examined the entrails of the lamb

you have sacrificed

it is indeed just unpropitious to tie

this marriage bond

these are the symbols of your virtues

in governing your new home the distaff

and the spindle

now recite the wedding vows where you

are gaius

i gaia will be where you are sarah

i hilarious will be

may happiness attend you for all the

years to come

[Applause]

this is the spelt cake that consecrates

this day

[Applause]

hey

to you always

welcome lady of our house receive the

light and the water

anoint your threshold with oil from the

olive may your home be always pure

now lift the bride

was sarah wounded no she just fainted

caligula thought she was dead didn't

anyone try to help her a young roman

officer

his name is valerius a brave man

he

he's become very dear to sarah he bought

her freedom

they were married a few days ago

rome tears our hearts apart

and then fills them with love you will

meet her soon

i will not see her until i'm at peace

with my conscience

until i have met the monster and he pays

for what he did to sarah

and for ruth you're talking like a

madman caleb

caesar is beyond your reach he's

surrounded by swords ready to cut you to

pieces

you would stand no chance where is your

faith old friend

your fish is mute isn't it

[Music]

we must opposed

[Music]

[Applause]

i know the problems kaifus

i recognize that my mission is difficult

almost impossible

but when my emperor commands i can do

nothing but obey

you know what the order is the statue

must be installed

or i will have to take my own life

if this were the solution you could of

course readily agree with it

but my death would only increase

caligula's anger

military action will be taken your

temple your city your nation destroyed

publius

if the statue of the emperor is set up

inside the holy temple of jerusalem some

jewish people will cut their throats i

know

many jewish people will cut roman

throats first

kai first be reasonable

the emperor caligula believes himself to

be a god indeed soon he will want to be

the one and only god

we must find a solution

a compromise

we could place the statue in one of the

outer courtyards they would not object

would they

you know the answer to that to us it

would still be a desecration

it's laid down peter everything's laid

down in the scriptures

the law of moses is not changed by the

new law

you mean that i have to turn a roman

centurion into a jew

circumcise him before i can turn him

into a christian the only way to the new

testament is through the old you

cannot be a christian unless you abide

by the rules laid down in our torah

you can't turn a man into a jew you have

to be born a jew

but if you're born a jew then you can

become a christian

it's as simple as that so we ignore the

gentiles

we were told as i remember that we had

to get out all over the world

and bring the message to whoever would

listen we were told nothing about being

made unclean if we entered the houses of

the gentiles

we didn't need to be told we knew it

already it's laid down in the covenant

in the law

peter listen right right

so i baptize a dozen soldiers who

believe that jesus is the son of god

and i do wrong and if a man

eats a piece of beef and washes it down

with a cup of goat's milk that's wrong

too

is that it here we go

you seem to forget sometimes that we

were given a burden to carry

he said to me you are peter you are the

rock so he sends down a vision

i accept that vision that you tell me

that i'm wrong

i get the call to bring the good news to

a number of romans and that's wrong too

you are slow to learn

stephen was not slow that's why they

killed him

steven saw that a new way began where

the old ended

i cannot accept it i cannot will not

is more like it you still need to be

cured of your stubbornness

and if the blood-stained caligula

himself saw the light and said that he

wanted to turn christian what do we do

do we say no your imperial blood-stained

majesty you are not a jew

so you cannot be a christian

it seems to me that you all have a great

deal of re-thinking to do

how about the temple what about the

temple

is it still our temple do we join up

with the other jews who are not

nazarenes and die for the temple

they too are martyrs and we respect them

but we know that our heart is the lord's

temple

oh you don't understand me peter we're

still part of the history of the jews

which means we have to defend the temple

yes yes well he would have stood up

there with a whip you know that

so we who are whipped and stoned and

jailed we now have to fight for a statue

is that what you mean no no no no

they threatened to desecrate our temple

by shoving into it a statue of their

emperor

god we have work to do

we cannot afford to be knifed or strung

up on a cross

the rumors want us to fight back but we

must not yield to the temptations that

they offer us

we have work to do

he is responsible for innumerable crimes

the crimes

are nothing nothing rape

mutilation confiscation of property

have you seen the list of them cassius

you can't make a

quantitative judgment accept the evil of

the man and you must accept his killing

of the entire world

what cannot be accepted is the

humiliation of the imperial army

he proposes another humiliation

what is that another mock attempt to

conquer britannia

a raid or two a few prisoners

himself to stay snug in his tent while

he imposes on the army the lie that he

led it to britannia

to battle the victory in the southern

tribal areas

a triumphant procession back to rome

caligula the military hero

i say no

and wait no longer we mustn't forget his

german bodyguards are never far from him

their swords are deadly we know deadlier

swords

yes marcus your gladiators can look

after the germans

the caligula

he must be approached by someone

above suspicion leave that to me

and to me

will you help rome valerius

[Applause]

wait you cannot take his place

[Applause]

the mighty zombinius winner of 200

is back to fight in the arena

well now relieving oneself is a duty

that not even the divine emperor can

escape

forgive me divine caesar not through the

crowd the people

are restless stones were thrown at a

senator moments before you arrived here

this morning

we'd better go underground

[Applause]

go on with the game

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

god

your guards will take care of the

[Music]

gladiators wow

[Music]

huh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

games are suspended

go to the palace

huh

please not not me

hail caesar hail claudius emperor of

rome

[Applause]

hello

lord be praised when he reunites what

was divided

it's been so long it's been so much

suffering

fighting i have prayed for this moment

[Music]

why did you marry him

[Music]

he rescued me he was the only human

presence in my life

we thought you were dead he is a roman

soldier

they killed so many of us and you killed

a few of them caleb

valeria serves his countries you wish to

serve yours

he does not hate us he loves me so he

does

we are lost in a storm caleb we have to

hold on to something

i was told that you too my zelit brother

found love in a roman

why do you approach me because it's

different

because the woman i love has come to me

she's ready to follow me

she's no longer a roman didn't you say

sarah

where he is i shall be

you are the wife of a roman soldier

an honest man yes i repeated the roman

formula

but i could have easily used our own

this is the man i love

for i love him and respect him

you will learn to like him caleb god

made us find each other again sister

he will spare me the pain of meeting

your roman

all that matters to me is that you

are alive prisoner of your own will

but stephen once said blessedly alive

i share my life with valerius you must

accept it

need your love

you have it

now let us talk about ourselves

brother and sister

of our mother and ruth

the emperor caligula is dead

for the moment we are both saved

caesar is dead

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
