ANDREW:Rabbi?

I'll just--
I'll set this right here.

It's all right.
Please, come in.

Sit with me.

Please.

How are you holding up?

I don't exactly
know what to say. Um...

I thought
I would be far worse.

Apparently,
Simon thinks so too.

He keeps checking on me
every five minutes.

Like how you
keep checking on me?

You knew John
longer than any of us. Mm-hm.

But, then you're...

I'm what?

I mean, you're...

Then why do you
need to check on me?

Okay.

Well, then I'll just...

I'll say you're a mystery.

Mm-hm.

Oh, wow.

I know.

Pretty stale.

Pretty?

Tastes like Elisha's bones.

Can we be laughing?

Why not?

You know, some of the moments
in which we laugh the hardest

come around the time
of a funeral.

Our hearts are so tender,

all our emotions
right at the surface.

Laughter and tears,
closer than ever.

And believe me,

I sat many a Shiva with John
when we were kids

and he could not hold a sullen
mood for seven straight days.

Never happened.

I feel guilty.

I should be in shambles.No.

No, Andrew.
There is no "should" in grief.

There's no right way to mourn.

You've already experienced much
grief when John was arrested.

Falling to pieces again
would not honor John's memory

any more than
feeling nothing at all.

Hm?

So...

you say I am a mystery.

Well... no. I mean that--
That you're-- You...

Who did John say I am?

John said...

"The One."

What are you doing?You've given me an idea.

Where do we traditionally
sit Shiva?

The home of the deceased?

And where was John's home?

The open road.

Gather the others.

"The words of Qoheleth,
son of David.

Vanity of vanities, says
the Preacher, all is vanity.

I have seen everything that is
done under the sun, and behold,

all is vanity

and a striving after wind.

A time to seek,

and a time to lose.

A time to keep,

and a time to cast away.

A time to tear,

and a time to sew.

A time to be silent,

and a time to speak.

He who loves money will not
be satisfied with money,

nor he who loves wealth
with his income."

At first it was only during
drought season,

but now it's
all the time.

Is there any anxiety
that you can point to

that may be causing
these sleepless nights?

It's not a thought,

but the general feeling
of dread.

As if there were
a snake under the bed

or a lion crouching
just outside the door.

Hm. Nathan,

the anguish of our forefathers
lives on in our bodies.

What do you mean?Egypt.

The 40-year wandering.

The exile in Babylon.

All of that pain and fear

is passed on in our blood,
our bones, and our stories.

I just want
to be able to sleep.

I cannot change my blood.
I cannot change my Jewishness.

No, you can't.

But you can pray.

You can visit me every day
and we'll pray together.

He who dwells in the shelter
of the Most High

will abide in the shadow
of the Almighty.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you, Rabbi.

I only wish I were
a miracle worker.

There is one I've heard about.

Give my best to Ila.I will.

Shalom. Shalom.Shalom. Shalom.

Shalom.

I've been meaning to ask you,
how is life at home?

You know, since all the, uh...

She was only sleeping,
Yussif.

You know,
that's all we can say.

Can you imagine
what your life would be like

if you were assigned
to a different post?

I don't want to.

News from Jerusalem.

Rabbi Shmuel has been promoted
to the Sanhedrin.

Rabbi Shammai is set to address
the assembly today.

Then Nicodemus
should be present.

Apparently he's missed
multiple sessions recently

and we never sent your letter.

Yussif, do you suppose

word of the sermon
on the Korazim Plateau

has reached Jerusalem?

I can't imagine
how it could not have.

But the sermon may fade
in comparison to...

rumors of events
in the Decapolis.

It's more than rumors.
Read on.

You're sure
that's my good side?

You said it was...

Am I wrong?

It's a bust. Your likeness
will be seen from every angle.

I'm not paying you
for art lessons.

Quintus. I don't--

Say it now and get it out of the way.

Way too easy.
And not today. Leave us.

Wait, wait, wait.
I'm in the middle of...

this.

And normally
I would tell this man here

that he is immortalizing
the wrong end.

There it is.Not today.

Today,
I need your latest intelligence

on Jesus of Nazareth.Military intelligence.

Those two words paired together
always struck me as oxymoronic.

Atticus.Quintus, tell me about Jesus.

All right. Just...

Just...

Uh-- Heh.

No change. Jesus and I talked.

You were there.
We have an understanding.

No new information?No.

The Jews have new information.

Of course,
the Jews know about a Jew.

I don't think you understand
the role of a magistrate.

It is all happening
right under your nose.

Debrief me, detective.

What's so important?It feels like...

the beginning of something.

War, maybe.

I am not going
to do your job

and make life difficult for
the people who follow Jesus.

I will not break up
their gatherings

or expel the pilgrims,
tu comprendi?

Something spooked you.

I know my Jews
better than you do.

What's going on with you?

Right now,
the only thing keeping you

in Caesar's good graces
are your revenues.

They're up.
Spettacolare, Dominus.

But you really need...

to do something!

Don't become infamous

for overseeing the town
where a revolution started.

Hail, Caesar.

Hail.

Do you think he could be
taking us to the valley?

We're heading north
up to Jordan.

Ah, to the Waters of Merom.Merom?

Where Joshua claimed his
victory over the Canaanites.

Maybe it's where
big things

are really going
to start happening.

Many big things
have already happened.

I bet we're going
to Mount Hermon.

I haven't seen snow in ages.

Isaiah. "Though your sins
are like scarlet...

...they shall be as white as snow."

That one, too.That's another one.

What would Mount Hermon
have to do with John?

We are still within
the seven days of Shiva.

Yeah, well,
Shiva is just as much

about the living
as it is the deceased.

Doesn't exactly explain why
we're going in this direction.

Well, why don't we just wait
until we get there?

It'll be useful information
for those of us

carrying heavy things,
Little James.

Just keep up, John.

You're sure you heard him
correctly?

We can talk along the way,
he said.

But this time is about
the Baptizer, not us.

I'm just telling you what he
said. He actually smiled.

All right.

Let's go then. There's no time
like the present.

Go for it.
It'll probably work.

What? I'm just--

Rabbi.

Ah, there you are.
I was waiting for you.

How was your visit with Kafni?

Uh..

Mm.

I suppose if it went well,
we would all know by now, huh?

But there is another way.

The Kiddushin.

You're familiar. Of course.I am.

Rabbi, I, uh, left my father to follow you.

I endured many,
many harsh words from him

for choosing to do so.

You know, I got
the taste of that myself.

You're the closest thing
I have to a father now.

John has agreed to stand
as the male witness for Thomas.

As my spiritual father,

will you give me away?

We don't mean to burden you.

Kafni's refusal
to sanctify our union

isn't what you came to do.

No.

No, Thomas.

You're wrong.

Everybody gather around.

People seem to think they know
why I'm here.

Do you think I've come
to give peace on Earth?

I have not come
to bring peace...

but a sword.

I mean division, Zee.

Within households and beyond,

when someone chooses
to follow me,

it may mean that in one house,

five will be divided,

three against two
and two against three.

Why?

We see it with Ramah
and her father.

It is not my intention
to divide families,

but the cost of following me

can mean that people will be
hated by those closest to them

because of their unbelief.

But isn't honoring father and
mother one of the Commandments?

Honoring your parents

is one of the highest social
and spiritual obligations,

but it is not higher
than following God.

Whoever loves father and mother
more than me

is not worthy of me.

We choose you over family.

It is decided then?

You will sign the letter
and stand as my witness?

Let's talk about the details
after this trip,

and the completion of Shiva
for my cousin.

Of course. Of course.

So, Thomas,

what are you preparing
to give Ramah's mohar?

Oh, well, we already agreed.

She made it clear
she doesn't need any--

Thomas. Thomas. Thomas.

I'm going to borrow Thomas
for one second, eh?

That's a bad idea.

What's a bad idea?

Not giving
your wife a gift.

Specifically,
taking her at her word

when she said
she doesn't want a gift.

No, no, no.

Take it from your married
friend, hmm?

These words do not mean
what you think they mean.

Let me explain
to you something.

Rabbi.
Do you still need him?

No. Please, set him straight.

The rest of us will keep going.

Here's what you're gonna do.

What are you talking about?

Why are you laughing?Are you kidding?

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe,

who has given us life,
sustained us,

and allowed us to arrive
in this moment.

All the way from the harbor
villages of the Upper Galilee.

Capernaum.

One generation shall commend...Can you believe that, Moishe?

your works to another,
and shall--

Moishe, I'm telling you.

The day this kid arrived
in the Holy City,

he still smelled faintly
of fish and naivete.

I will...

meditate.Mmm! Bergamot.

Jasmine and...

balsam from the shores
of the Dead Sea.

Take my word, Moishe.

You are holding the robes

of a rabbi whose name will be
remembered in history.

You'll tell your sons
about this day.

Is that all this is about for
you, Yanni? Being remembered?

Special robes
and expensive perfume?

If they are befitting.

Anyone could have alerted
the elders.

Step out, please, Moishe.

I prayed with this man,
Yanni.

You what?In the Decapolis,

while you and the others
were busy with witnesses,

I stumbled upon him myself.
It was quite accidental.

But you never told us.

He wasn't what I expected

or whom I remembered
from Capernaum.

He seemed sincere
and gave me much to consider.

Sincerity can be cunning.

I didn't detect the evil
I expected.

Only God can discern the heart of man.

It is not for you to say.

Then why am I
being given this post?

No one is giving you
anything.

You've earned your seat.How?

I studied, I wrote reports,

I met with the leaders
of feuding tradition,

and what is there
to show for it?

How is our faith, our nation,
improved in any way?

You're overwhelmed.

It's normal to be nervous.
Lots of feelings.

Yes, I am overwhelmed by how
empty this entire exercise is,

by the posturing
and congratulating.

About what?Shmuel, I promise,

when you hear Shammai's address,
everything will make sense.

I haven't asked you yet.
Are you good?

I'm good.

I'm at peace.

John would have wanted that,
hmm?

You haven't asked me
how I am.

I'm sorry. How are you?

No, I'm just kidding.

Just as I feared.

Caesarea Philippi.

Hey.

This may have been
where you lived,

but you're definitely not
the same man

I found passed out
at midday

in the middle
of a cheap flat. Hm?

Thanks for the memory.

Just trying to help.

The Canaanite God, Baal.
He used to be worshiped here.

Actually, many places,
but especially here.

Why?The water.

They regarded Baal
as the god of rain.

A spring
pours out of a cave

in the side
of the rock face there.

The fountainhead
of the Jordan.

To sound out
the depths of the spring,

they let a rock down
on a rope.

It never reached
the bottom.

Welcome to the gates of hell.

You see, doesn't the thought

of our tasty kosher food
sound better here?

He has a point.

Are those goats for sacrifice
in their temple?

No. Something much worse.

We traveled north to Capernaum
for the fresh fish,

not to discover great minds.

And yet, as unlikely
as it may seem,

from this backwater village
in the Upper Galilee,

has arisen an intellect
so enterprising,

probing, and formidable,

we cannot help but rejoice
at our good fortune

in finding Shmuel bar Yosef

and welcoming him
to this highest council,

where he succeeds Rabban Seled
in the 70th chair.

Unless you've been living in
a tomb for the past six months,

Jesus of Nazareth,
once the subject of speculation,

curious observation,

gossip, and hearsay,

has, through Shmuel's
diligent reporting

and confirmed
eyewitness accounts,

emerged a portrait
of the most damning

and dangerous figure
in this nation

since Ahab and Jezebel.

Jesus has not only
shown contempt

for the Holy Law
and tradition,

he has amassed
a devoted following doing so.

He travels and mingles closely

with tax collectors,
sinners, degenerates,

and a member
of the Fourth Philosophy.

The zealots?

He counts among his disciples
multiple women,

one of whom is a Gentile
from Ethiopia.

Not one,
but two of his followers

are former disciples
of the late blasphemer,

John the Baptizer.Late?

We have Shmuel to thank,
in part,

for handing over the whereabouts

of the Baptizer
to Roman authorities.

Why were we not consulted
before cooperating with

and handing over one of our own
to Rome?

Sympathetic to the Baptizer,
are you, Shimon?

Who called us a brood of vipers?
Murderers of our own mothers?

Shammai.

You've gone on too long.

Hm.

The time for patiently
observing is long past.

The acts and whereabouts
of Jesus of Nazareth

shall be reported
to this council immediately.

Senior leaders
in every district

should question
and expose Jesus.

Listen carefully
to what he says and seek

to entangle him
in his own teaching.

If we corner him into exposing
himself by his own teaching

in a way that people will easily
recognize as heresy.

They will turn from Him.

We can dilute his influence.

As to what happens if he is
trapped and brought in to us...

Even if we find him
blasphemous,

I encourage you
to resist the urge

to enact the justice
of the Law of Moses.

Stoning...

Well, it's not only
a messy business,

but stoning
a preacher of the people

risks chaos we cannot afford.

We must convince Rome

that he's worthy of their
attention and their concern.

As much as the occupation

has been a source
of endless pain to our people,

we must be sober in admitting

that our colonizers are better
at tracking and killing people

than we have the resources
or the energy to be.

We must keep our houses
of power separate.

We cannot afford
to be perceived as

"hoping for disorder"
in any way.

Pilate, as young
and in over his head as he is,

will never allow that,

and we can't give him
another reason

for doing something rash.

Let Rome enforce
its own man-made laws,

and if it works in our favor,
fine.

We will concentrate our efforts
on preserving God's law

and the sacred traditions
of our faith.

Am I clear?

Write up the decree and have it
presented to me by nightfall.

This meeting is adjourned.

Caiaphas,
this report is bloated

and skewed
with a biased agenda.

I said we're finished here,
Shimon.

Come. Come.

Rabbi, this place...

Respectfully, Rabbi,
why did you bring us here?

It's an abomination.

That's a pretty strong word,
Andrew.

Rabbi...

during Shiva?

Should we avoid dark places
out of fear,

or should we be light to them,

like Simon and Judas were
on their mission?

Do you think my cousin
would be afraid of this cave?

Do you think
he would be so appalled

by what happens
in that temple over there

that he couldn't stand
to be in this place?

Who do people say
the Son of Man is?

Uh... Some say you are Elijah,
the one who preaches repentance.

Hm.Others say Jeremiah,

because he was rejected
by the leaders of his time.

And still others say
one of the prophets,

those that spoke
on God's behalf.

Okay, what are we gonna have
to do? Cast lots?

Nathanael, this is your moment.
Be yourself.

Some say John the Baptizer.

Which obviously isn't true.

Okay, well,
that's everyone else.

But who do you say that I am?

You?

You are the Christ.

The Son of the living God.

These carved statues
of Baal and Pan

and other idols
that we passed?

They're dead and decaying,
but we worship a living God.

And you...

You are his son.

Blessed are you,
Simon, Son of Jonah.

For flesh and blood
has not revealed this to you,

but my Father in heaven.

All your life, you've been
called Simon, one who hears.

But today, I call you Peter.

Rock.

And it is on this rock
that I will build my church,

and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.

This is a place of death,

and I brought you here to tell
you that death has no power

to hold my redeemed people
captive.

Because I live,
you also will live.

I will give you the keys
to the kingdom of heaven,

and whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven,

and whatever you loose on earth
will be loosed in heaven.

You have the authority

to declare the truth to others
that I am declaring to you,

that the repentant have a place
in the Kingdom of Heaven.

You have confessed
that I am the Christ

and you will influence
many others

to make the same
confession in time.

But I will explain more later.

For now,
you must all keep this quiet.

I strictly charge you
not to tell anyone.

Rabbi, some already know
that you are the Messiah.

Why keep this silent now?

In some places,
for some people,

it was important
that they know and believe.

But right now,

if all our people of this region
hear the Messiah has come,

they will rise up in multitudes

preparing to join a military
figure in war against Rome.

I want people to follow me

based on my true identity,

like Peter here,

not based on
some misguided understanding

of the title I hold.

Teacher, our people
are ready to believe in you

and fight with you.

Why else bring us
to this place of death

if not to defeat it?That will come in time.

I brought you here
to honor John

by showing you
what he was here to do.

He was preparing the way
for this.

For me to build my church.

A church that will
never be stopped,

even in a place like this.

John was fearless of evil
and obedient everywhere,

and so must you be,

even at the gates of hell.

Are you ready
to follow in his footsteps,

and mine?

Even if that leads you
to a place like this?

That is all.

We should be going.

I'll get that for you,
Little James.

Thank you.

Peter, the rock.

You see that?
Four horsemen waiting

to send out the message
to the whole of Israel,

all because of you.

Your work created this.

He is dead.

Mm, he will be,

once he makes a false move
and runs afoul of Rome.

No. I mean the Baptizer.

Shammai said it.

I'm the one who first gave him
over to the authorities.

Because you are prescient.

You have eyes to see
consequences far in the future

that others are too distracted
to consider.

And now the entire Sanhedrin
will know of your talent.

Are you listening?

I'm...

I am.

I really think
you should be the one

to bring him before
the Sanhedrin yourself.

Me?

You're from Capernaum.

You know people who follow him,
you've spoken with him twice.

You should try to find him.

You're right.

Shalom! Are you alive?

Yes. I'm just thinking.

Yes, I'm going
to try to find him.

I hope so.RAMAH: I am ready.

We could tighten it.

Now that it's pinned,
you can pull it from your end.

Yeah. Just pull it tight.

I mean, I'm getting used to it.

Anyone could have said it.

So, why didn't you?Why didn't you?

I thought it was
the sort of thing

where Jesus asks us a question
as part of the teaching.

Simon just spoke up first.

I'm not even sure
we call him Simon anymore.

Do we?
Jesus gave us a new name.

We still go by James and John.I said, I don't know.

What are we
going to tell eema?

We're not going to
tell her anything.

She cannot know.

Why do you
have to bring up Eema?

That should be enough
for the night, no?

Yes. And considering
Philip is out

getting even more,
it's plenty.

All right.

Apple?

Uh-huh. Sure.

Thank you.

There is plenty,
you can have as--

If he wanted more than one,
he would have asked.

You can say that again.
I'll take three.

She would have found out anyway.

She always finds out
about everything.

I don't get it.

Is Simon-- Sorry.

Peter really the best disciple?

Did Jesus say "best"?

I have it written down.
The word "best" was not used.

Does it matter?

I haven't been here
as long as some of you,

but it does seem
like Peter is the best.

One of the top three or four.Who are the other three?

By what measurements are we
determining this ranking?

Who said anything about ranking?
What is this, the military?

The opposite,
I believe he indicated.

I don't know. It is clear
he is to be a leader.

Does that mean the rest of us
are less important?

No one asked my opinion,

but I think we all
just need some sleep.

I won't get any sleep tonight.

Great! You can take
the third watch.

I was scheduled
to take the third watch.

But if you can't sleep--That's not what I meant.

Then take the third watch!

It's a figure of speech,
Andrew.

Take the third watch!

You can't take me
seriously every time.

I'll be asleep. I'm tired.I still need to go to sleep.

You can take third watch...James can take it.

Matthew, how's everyone
settling in for the night?

I don't know if "settled"
is the right word.

You know,
I love that about you.

Always looking
for the right word.

What about you?

Are you unsettled?

If now's not a good time,
I can--

No, no, no.
Please, sit down. Please.

I'm listening.

Rabbi, today you seemed
to elevate Simon.

I-I mean, Peter.

I guess I'm not sure
I fully understand

his new position
and what it means.

Yes. Well, I'm, I'm not sure he
fully understands what it means.

He was quiet
the rest of the day,

which for me, I must admit,
was quite a welcome change.

Ha, ha.

I'm not sure
you heard most of it,

but that long day in Syria,
Simon, I mean, Peter,

screamed at me across the fire,

said that I spit
on the Jewish faith,

that he would never forget
what I did to him

and that he could not
ever forgive me.

Hm.

Have you asked
for forgiveness?

Why would I when he said
he wouldn't forgive?

It's pointless.

Matthew...

you don't apologize
to be forgiven.

You apologize to repent.

Forgiveness is a gift

given from the other person.

I guess I'm finding it
hard to accept

that the person you would
formally assign leadership to

of a group with the keys
to the kingdom of heaven

would be someone
so temperamental.

I know the term is a metaphor,
but he does not act like a rock.

I make people
what they aren't.

You know that
better than most.

You can obviously choose
whomever you want,

and your ways are often
very different

from other people's ways,
but...

Rabbi, I must confess,

it hurts.

You have no idea
how cruel he has been to me.

Maybe you do know and you chose
to elevate him anyway,

which makes it
even more painful.

I--You're right.

There have been times

where Peter has been
overly harsh with you.

And that has not pleased
my Father in heaven,

nor has it pleased me.

Then why?

I will say this is not always
the consideration,

but I would simply ask,

who harmed the other first?

Uh...

I guess, in the abstract,

by accepting the job
from Rome, I--

No.

No.

Not in the abstract.

In fact.

Okay, by turning my back
on our people,

and then by spying on him
for Quintus, and...

even coming within hours
of turning him over to Rome

and possibly ruining
his fam-family's life.

And you've never apologized
for this?

No, I just...

I want to forget
about that time.

The same way Mary wants
to forget about her time.

And I want to keep the peace.

Apologizing to him
would only cause an argument.

The group already has
enough of those.

They're having one right now.

I know I haven't
contributed much,

but I think by the end of this,
everyone...

You saw it. Tell them, James!

There is no peace
when two of my followers

hold resentment in their heart
towards one another.

You know what you must do.

It's been a long day.

I'm going to sleep now.

Good night, Matthew.

Good night, Rabbi.

Thank you for listening.

Who's going to tend the fire?

You have to tell him that
it was just a figure of speech.

I just want to go to bed.

Mary, Tamar, Ramah,
your tent is ready.

Oh, thank God.

I-I don't think so.

Andrew, our tent is ready too.

All right.

I heard raised voices over here.

Are you arguing
about something?

Uh... About who's going
to take the third watch.

Isn't it Andrew's turn?

Oh, John is going
to take that for me.

Very kind of you, John.

Thaddeus,
where is your lean-to?

Oh, it's my night
to keep the fire.

Right. But where's Matthew
going to sleep?

I have space.
Because of Thaddeus.

Thank you, Little James.

Zee, you'll sleep
just outside the women's tent?

As always.

Matthew, you talked to Jesus?
He's good?

Yes, yes.
Yeah, he went to sleep.

All right, then.

Good night.

Lie us down, Adonai our God,
in peace.

And raise us up again, our Ruler, in life.

Spread over us
Your Sukkah of peace...

direct us
with Your good counsel,

and save us
for Your own Name's sake.

Shield us.

Remove from us every enemy,

pestilence, sword,
famine, and sorrow.

Remove all adversaries from
before us and from behind us,

and shelter us
in the shadow of Your wings.

For You are our guarding
and saving God,

yes, a gracious
and compassionate God and King.

Guard our going out and our
coming in for life and peace,

now and always.

I was thinking.

The rock may be the foundation
of the building,

but it's not
what is seen most prominently.

Or the highest point.Exactly.

So, maybe we can ask Jesus

that if Simon is going to be
the main rock

on which his church is built--

I'm pretty sure
Jesus is the main rock.

One of the main rocks
on which his church is built,

then perhaps we could be
the flags, huh?

Flying from the tallest
parapet, huh?

What about parapets?Nothing.

I think I know
and I don't like it.

So, now that there aren't
two Simons anymore,

can I have my name back?

No.

Good morning, my friend.Good morning.

What do we have here?

We have carobs, mulberries,
pistachios.

Pistachios would be wonderful
this morning.

Judas, do we have enough
in the purse for 16 servings?

Uh... Probably only
if they're in shell.

The shell is no problem
at all.

Sixteen servings, please.Okay.

Nathanael, Thaddeus.

Help distribute, eh?

Please.

Thank you.

They look delicious.

Here you go. Thank you so much.Thank you, Rabbi.

Thank you so much, sir.

All right, my friend.Yeah.

Thank you, Nathanael.

There we go. Philip.The basket.

The basket, oh.Thank you.

Enjoy.

Oh, and Andrew.Thank you.

And you, and me.

Look at that,
divided the eight portions

evenly down
to the last nut.

Skills.

These are salty
and going to make us thirst.

Simon, is your canteen full?Peter. Name's Peter.

Right.

You do know It's going
to take us all

a little time
to get used to Peter.

Hm.We're only mortal.

To answer your first question,
yes. This canteen is full.

All right, then.

So...

my brother is the rock.

It feels like I should walk
a little straighter.

Yeah. In more ways than one.

You're going to have to stop
bottling up your panic

to the point that
it all comes exploding out

at the most
inconvenient time.

I think I handled John's death

better than I would have
a year ago.

And I'm gonna have to start...

I don't know.
I don't know where to start.

He didn't give any details.

He did, but they were...

cryptic.

Like in Hebrew school,

when Rabbi Mordecai would read
from that passage from Shemot

where God would meet Moses
at the lodging place

and tried to kill him.Strangest story ever, eh?

And then his wife
circumcised their son

and touched the foreskin
to his feet and said,

"Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me".

And then he just--

Moved right along.On to the next passage.

No explanation, no nothing.

We're all left sitting there,
completely confused.

But Jesus isn't
Rabbi Mordecai.

Yeah, well,
we're not little boys

fidgeting and wanting
to go play outside.

This is real.

You know, I had a bad time
when Eden lost the baby.

I questioned Him.

You had the faith to step out
of the boat onto the water.

And sink.

You know, Nathanael was right.
We're only mortal.

If I mess up again,
will he change his mind

and give the title
to someone else?

Don't think about that.But I do, Andrew. I do. I...

You didn't notice me
tossing and turning all night?

I sleep like a dead person,
Simon.

Peter. Peter.Yeah.

Peter. Peter. Peter.Okay.

Good. Good.Peter. Peter.

So, how do you decide?

Decide what?

What to include.Oh...

I noticed you didn't write down
the exchange with the merchant.

If it was important,
I would know.

But how?

There's this look that Jesus
gives me, and then I know.

We have an understanding.Hm.

You must feel so honored...

to be his scribe.

I suppose.

Matthew,
are you feeling well?Hm?

You haven't eaten
any of your pistachios.

Oh-- Heh. Um...

I-I'm saving them for later.

Was that the look?

Does he want you to write down
this conversation with me?

No. I'm supposed to be doing
something else.

Oh.

If you'll excuse me, Tamar.

Shalom.

You gonna finish those?You can have them.

Thank you.

Andrew, could I have a moment
with your brother?

Sorry. No.

You have to submit a formal
request to speak to the rock.

In writing.

I'm joking.

I'm joking. I'm joking.
Of course, you can.

I'm going to go watch
James and John pout.

You go do that,
yeah.

Good morning.I'm sorry.

I said "good morning."No, I heard you.

I said I'm sorry...

for what I did to you.

It has been over a year now,

and I realize
I never actually apologized

for my role in your plight
with your tax debt,

and for colluding with Quintus
on reporting your activity.

It's strange.

After the sermon, the big one,

I immediately went to my parents
to apologize for my actions.

I should have gone to you next.

And now
my feelings are worse

and they won't be better if I
don't ask for your forgiveness.

So, that's what I'm doing now.

Well, actually,
I'm just saying I'm sorry.

Forgiveness is a gift
that you can give.

Or not give.

Confirmed.Noted.

What's all the commotion?

An edict.

From Jerusalem.

By name.

They named him specifically
for a challenge of blasphemy.

Jesus of Nazareth.

How could this have advanced
through the council so quickly?

I think we both know.

I cannot envisage a positive outcome.

Jairus, it's time.For what?

I'm going to leave Capernaum
and go to Jerusalem.

Where you will?

Do something I swore
I would never do.

You are a resourceful man.

I assume you're aware
of who my father is.

I am. Arnan.

Then you know his resources,
his influence.

Normally, I would insist
you not abandon me here

with Rabbi Akiva.

But that would be selfish.

You will do more good
as a member of the Sanhedrin

than you can in Capernaum.

I didn't believe that
until now.

Can you expedite the paperwork?I can, and I will.

Thank you.

Adonai be with you, my friend.

So, do I call you Peter too?

Or is that just him?

I think, uh...

everyone.

From now on.

Forever.

There are so many Simons
in this world.

I've never met anyone
named Peter.

It suits you.

One of a kind.

Good night.

I...

Peter, it's pretty late.

I could say the same to you.

I suppose you could.

Something keeping you up?

I could ask the same of you.

What do I do

when there is someone
who has sinned against me?

Egregiously, repeatedly,
and without repentance.

I can't imagine
who that would be.

The betrayal of our people

by working for Rome,
that was one thing.

That was a sin against
all of us and our heritage.

Then, he showed no mercy

when Andrew begged him
for extra time

on his tribute debt

and even charged an extra 60%

on what was past due.

You know he was gonna let Rome
seize our boat as collateral,

which would have taken
our ability to work

and landed us both in jail.

Meaning Eden
could have starved.

He didn't even hesitate
for a moment

when Quintus asked him
to spy on me.

I'm up to seven

and I haven't even gotten
to the fact

that he was fully ready to
turn me in the morning that...

The morning that what?

You know.I do.

He may have been ready
to turn you in,

but it didn't come to that.

So for the moment,
let's keep it at seven.

A number of completion.

He sins against me seven times

and I'm supposed
to just forgive that?

No.

Not seven, but 77 times.

I could stack him up that high

if I really broke down each
offense and the consequences.

You know, I don't mean literally 77 times.

Seventy times seven.
Completion times completion.

Endless forgiveness
without limits.

Look,
a couple of days ago,

you gave me a new name
and made big proclamations.

But whether my name
is Simon or Peter,

I'm still the same man
I was the day before that.

I'm still human
and I can't do it.

I can't.
And no one would blame me.

You mentioned the consequences
of Matthew's actions.

Remember the circumstances
they put you in?

Yeah, that's
all I can think about.

That's why I'm out here
and not asleep next to Eden.

But after that,
when the sun rose...

I know it's hard.

Why does everything
have to be?

Man makes it much harder

when he leans on
his own understanding.

I'll leave you alone now.

You know why
they're still here?

I'll tell you.

Because they're comfortable.

You may not think so

because they live
in a tent city

while you live in houses with
solid roofs over your heads.

But the fact of the matter is,

if they really had a problem

sleeping on the ground
in squalor,

they would have left
a long time ago.

We cannot affect what the
pilgrims are willing to endure

for even the faintest chance

they'll get to hear more
teaching from Jesus of Nazareth.

They are intractable.Wrong!

That's the problem with you,
Gaius.

You accept everything as given.

The pilgrims may be
intractable now,

but use your imagination.

One week from today, I want
every last one of them gone

and someone else's problem
entirely. Do you understand?

Yes, Dominus.

Hm.

Now get out.

Where do we start, Primi?I will think of something.

Gaius.

Good morning, Matthew.

Does not look like
a good morning.

Are you unwell?It's just...

Uh-- Work.

I'm fine, Matthew.

You have some talent, Gaius.

Thank you.
But you are not an effective liar.

It is clear you're not fine.

Is your family in trouble?

What do you know
about families?

Look, um...

I am glad
that you have people now.

But, um, home is complicated.

I'm helpless.

You're right, Gaius.

I don't know families very well,
and I complicate everything.

Don't say that.With my teacher, he...

He makes life very simple.

Every morning I wake up,
my ideas and fears are jumbled.

I feel overwhelmed
with doubt and regret.

Yes.
But if I just pause for a moment and remember...

What? What? Remember what?

I have only one thing
to do today.

Follow him.

The rest takes care of itself.

Uh...

I'm happy for you.

You could come.

To see Him.

He might give a sermon soon.
Maybe tomorrow.

No. No.

I would not advise any public
appearance. Not for a while.

I do not decide when or where.

If you have any influence,
use it.

It's not safe.

And we should not be seen talking.

Take care of yourself.

James, is this long enough?How many jars do we have?

Four.Four?

Yes.

They said they had four jars
coming in.

James, how long is this
supposed to be?

Uh... I think that's good.Give it a try.

I have to get two knots
out of it. Abba does two.

Just tie it one time.

We need three men to help

in the olive grove today
with pruning.

I can help.I'll go.

I'm in.Thomas, Thomas, wait--

Matthew, could you go?Go where?

The women need help with
the pruning in the olive grove.

I suppose I could help.Great.

What am I doing?I've not.

Here you are.

We need to go to the market.

Mm-hm.What?

Simon's right.

Peter.
Whatever.

You shouldn't take Ramah up

on this whole scrap
of clothing thing.

I talked to Abba, and he agrees.
It sounds romantic for now,

but in ten years' time,

she'll wish you had bought
something.

That's the problem.
But we don't have any money.

Eema's famous cinnamon cakes.

Hm?We'll barter.

Hm?

Let's go.

How much could those
possibly get us?

You'll be surprised.
It's just a starter.

We'll work our way up, eh?

I forgive you.

It's all forgotten.

To the ends of the earth,
right?

Hm?Yes.

It's over.
