Your father cast a large shadow.

You had an insatiable appetite.

You must forgive me.

Gavin. It's the first time

I've been back to the palace since he died.

You must miss him.

Must I?

You once came to me warning of a rebellion.

And I ignored your advice.

It was a mistake.

There is a new fanatical group.

A leader baptizes his followers in the river jordan.

Many such groups.

This one is different.

This man, this john.

He's gathered a large number of people

And he is riling them up.

And he is telling these people

That your marriage is a natural.

It's only a matter of time

Before we have another riot on my hands.

How many men in judea are like apples on a tree?

Track one

And another grows in its place.

Best to leave it alone.

And in time the tree will rot.

Maybe.

But sometimes it's best

To chop off a branch.

Don't.

They.

There are many great streams.

That let it lead us all

Back to the same ocean.

Sandstorm is coming.

Immediately.

After he is baptized, jesus is driven

Into the wilderness by the holy spirit.

Of us.

No food, no water.

40 days alone. Oh.

And the lord almighty.

000. And

I. Oh!

For 40 days of fasting and suffering.

Satan comes on the scene and brings with him temptation.

According to both jewish

And christian tradition, satan is a fallen angel.

He was originally good, but something went terribly wrong.

The son of god can command

These stones to become loaves of bread.

Man can live

By a.

The second

Temptation satan takes jesus in a mysterious way

To the highest point of the temple.

If you are the son of god, jum.

God will command his angels to save you.

You will not hit the ground.

Do not trust the lord

Your god.

The third temptation may be

The greatest temptation that jesus faces.

Satan takes him to a mountaintop.

Shows him all the empires of the world.

Their ability to pacify the world through violence.

I'll give you all the kingdoms of the world if you worship me.

The temptation here is to short circuit god's plan

To embrace the armies of empire, to liberate his own people.

But through means that are not those

Of god.

Oh, I wish satan.

I worship only the lord god.

Serve only him.

Who imports your wine?

Scrip bonus. Why?

He's cheating you.

Don't.

Don't kill him.

Herod antipas has done something that's really angered

His people.

He's married herodias, the wife of his stepbrother herod.

The second.

Now, to the jewish people, this kind of marriage is incest.

More wine.

Herodias is ambitious.

Her first husband was herod the second.

But he lives

As a private citizen in rome, and she recognizes that

By marrying antipas, she gets an upgrade.

She goes from marrying somebody who's basically a nobody

To marrying a ruler.

Following the baptism of jesus.

John is inspired to up his game.

John decides to challenge the political leaders of his time.

John is going to tiberius itself.

Like his father, antipas wanted

To build his city in honor of caesar.

For antipas,

If tiberius, in honor of augustus,

Augustus's successor of the emperor tiberius,

For john the baptist,

That had to be like sticking your finger in a hornet's nest.

But john knows it, and he doesn't care.

Herod antipas

Here, by warning you have broken the laws of god

While you're taking your brother's wife, until you

Repent.

While there is still time.

You would let

That man spread his venom.

I have to admire his energy.

That. Yeah.

That energy is provoking the people.

But it warned you that this would happen.

Do you want rome to think you were too weak

To keep the peace in galilee?

You need to make an example of this man.

Show his followers.

He's not a prophet,

Just an ordinary man

Who bleeds like everyone else.

You cannot silence the wine of god.

He must know more than you can hide your sin.

Most.

But he will not

Be discouraged

Until he establishes justice on earth.

Shut up!

Oh! What? Is.

Oh! John's gone.

He went to call out antipas

To hold him to the laws of moses.

They took him away.

John said that god was with him.

But god didn't stop him from being arrested.

Did you hear what I said?

They've taken him, andrew.

The time has been fulfilled,

And the kingdom of god has come near.

Believe in the good news.

Good news.

What's happened to you?

While john the baptist seemed to be expecting the kingdom

Of god to be a dramatic change to the here and now on earth,

What jesus calls

The good news of the coming kingdom of god seems

To be referring to the promise of an eternal life.

We cannot stay here.

I know where we can go.

I have a brother in capernaum.

Read in three of the gospels after john

The baptist is jailed.

Jesus heads out into rural galilee.

To the role

To play vengeance on his foes. No.

Threats against his enemies,

The lord will not leave

The guilty unpunished.

Right.

For the kingdom of heaven is

Come down.

Antipas imprisons john the baptist

And makes us a fortress built out in the middle of nowhere.

To keep track of any armies

That might be approaching from the east,

Just off the dead sea, surrounded by nothing but salt

Flats for miles around in all directions. You.

Know.

The youth.

Isaiah's.

John the baptist is in prison, a miserable place.

In contrast, here's herodias

And on to pass.

Living a life of luxury

With wine and drugs.

What could be more outrageous?

Oh, god.

Oh, I was for sale.

Is taking to a new roommate.

I'm getting a loan.

I can't keep her locked up in there forever.

I know him

Well.

There are other alternatives.

For sale.

This is herod antipas, his first wife.

She's the daughter of king a rita's, the fourth

Of the neighboring arab kingdom of nabataean.

When antipas discarded her, he had her locked up

In the cells beneath his fortress.

The lord your god sees you as you pass.

Your fate will find you well.

Will you ever con

Someone charging up?

The line.

What has happened here?

And pass men.

John preached that

Those who commit evil will be scorched from the earth.

He said, the kingdom of heaven was coming. But

Antipas lights fires, destroys lives, and nobody stops him.

The kingdom of

Heaven is coming under.

Just not in the way that john imagined.

Herod antipas has been depopulating

And destroying villages.

He has been forcing his subjects against their will,

Into tiberius, which is his new city.

Because a city with no residents

Won't impress his roman bosses.

We are told that we should love our neighbors

And hate our enemies.

But here is what I say

Love your enemies

And pray for those who persecute you.

Pray for antipas.

Love all

Your enemies.

Do good.

Your reward will be great.

Jesus call to love your enemies is rooted in realism.

No army of judean rebels is going to be able

To knock down these massive armies.

The roman empire has the only way liberation will come

Is if god delivers the people.

You make it sound easy.

I think it's easy.

The path of the righteous man

Is set on all sides.

And the inequities of the selfish.

Tyranny of evil men.

Herod antipas is a man of contradictions.

As someone who was a jewish ruler,

He arrest john the baptist and has him thrown in prison.

But he's curious enough to want to listen to him teach.

And so he doesn't completely dismisses message.

Hello, antipas.

Why are you tormenting me?

If you cannot sleep,

It is because you have

A conscience.

There is still time.

To turn back from your sin.

What would you have me do?

Antipas?

You must produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

You are the prisoner, antipas.

During such times, you.

Repent.

And wash away your sin.

And. You

Say it is.

Simon, I want you to meet someone.

This is jesus.

He's from nazareth.

Nothing good

Ever came out of nazareth.

He's been teaching me.

Another holy man.

Come on. Me.

What happened to the last one you were following?

The baptizer.

Simon is a fisherman

Who's had a bad day and is pretty grumpy about it.

You're a teacher.

Tell me this.

Am I a fisherman?

There are no fish.

How are we supposed to eat when the nets are empty?

Day after day?

Is this god?

You preach his book on a boat?

A galilean fisherman

Like simon would be living near subsistence levels.

So he'd basically be one bad catch away from

Financial ruin.

Puts out your nets again.

There is nothing that he can teach me about fishing.

What's the worst that can happen, brother?

Puts out into the deep water

And let down your nets again for a catch.

I. Could have filled

A thousand baskets.

I'm sorry.

He shouldn't have done this.

I'm a sinner.

Do not be afraid, simon.

From now on, you will be called peter.

And I will make you a fisher of men.

Holes immediately.

In john's gospel, simon picks up a nickname.

Jesus calls him cfs, which is translated as peter.

And both those terms mean rock.

This is to signal he's going to be a key disciple

And figure in this exploration of jesus identity

As the messiah.

And what this means is peter is no longer

Just fishing for fish.

He is now fishing for human beings, bringing them to

The gospel. The good news.

After the fishing,

Jesus comes into simon peter's home.

Peter's mother in law is sick.

She has a fever.

She's been getting worse.

And a poor son in law.

It is a better.

Comfort some more water.

Fever doesn't seem very dramatic in this day and age.

That's because we've gotten used

To medicine that reduce fevers.

In antiquity, a fever could very often be a precursor

To death. And.

After seeing these miracles performed by jesus,

I think something changes in peter.

A person who was fundamentally disappointed.

Now has a new hope that god is yet

Present and active in the world.

John.

As. He.

Shouldn't have to have.

To enter.

Heaven.

The fork.

When you arrested, they scattered.

Return to their homes.

And jesus

Came back.

He teaches in galilee,

And he heals the sick.

He came with me to capernaum

To meet my brother.

And something amazing happens.

I can't explain it.

It could have only have been from god.

Ask jesus,

Are you the one to come after me,

Or shall we wait for another?

I hear the messiah.
