How was your journey?

Long.

Oh, the roads are a disgrace.

How are you, uncle?

Please.

No, I prefer to than to pass.

And that's the journey.

All the better now that it's here in your presence.

I've had the servants draw you both the bath.

Will you not be joining us

Another time?

We'll have to have a married off soon.

I don't want her ruined by some lecherous old advisor

At court.

Who? Salom� is the daughter

Of herodias by her previous husband, herod the second.

She is thus the step daughter and niece of antipas.

Didn't mean to startle you.

You stink.

In the dark.

You can lose track of your senses.

Said maybe you can see things better.

My name is john.

What did you do to upset my stepfather, john?

Powerful men do not like

To hear the truth of the world.

Or their souls.

Antipas must repent for sin.

You are a preacher.

My father was a priest.

And you must be herodias,

His daughter.

What have you did to upset my stepfather?

I should warn you.

It's rare people make it out of here alive.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley.

But I fear no evil.

You should

Go. Oh.

I don't understand.

It doesn't make any sense.

Once again.

And if one single word is different,

I'll have your throats ripped out.

The nabataean soldiers started crossing into our territory.

A daughter.

Antipas had been married

To a nabataean princess by the name of vesalius.

However, antipas had rejected for sailors, and in doing so

He has angered her father aratus, the king of nabataean,

Who had armed his soldiers and invaded antipas.

His territory.

Was safely delivered to the nabataean

Three days ago.

And yet they still invade.

Should have executed her.

What are your orders?

Well, I we should do it.

We should gather all the available troops,

Take the garrisons from tiberius and severus.

You are to meet the invaders on territory

Of our choosing.

I know antipas.

You look unwell.

You sick?

And I have a tens of invaders.

It seems that your god, our god,

Doesn't save me.

Perhaps you must produce fruit

In keeping with repentance.

And what does that mean?

You know what it means.

It is unlawful for you

To marry your brother's wife.

Give up.

Herod. Yes.

And then god will destroy in other towns.

I do not speak for god.

Is it too late for me?

It is never too late.

What is the kingdom of heaven like?

Teacher.

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.

It's the smallest of all god's creations.

But planted

When it grows

Becomes a towering tree.

The way the gospels tell it, jesus was very popular in.

Now he's a sort of local celebrity.

But not everybody likes him.

The pharisees were a grassroots group in jewish society

And saw themselves as defenders of religious

Tradition.

Now was do this.

If they can expose what they see as the mistakes

In jesus's teachings or his healings, then

Maybe the crowds around him will dissipate.

The pharisees have

Brought with them a man who has a withered hand.

Now, within jewish law, it is not permissible to engage

In certain activities on the sabbath,

Including healing through religious activity.

Teacher,

Tell us this.

Is it lawful

To heal

On the sabbath?

It's a trap.

You can live without the use of a hand.

Heal him today, and it'll be another hammer

To beat you with.

If any of you has a sheet

And it falls into a pit on the sabbath, we know.

And lift it out.

How much more valuable has a person,

A sheep?

Therefore it is lawful

To do good on the sabbath.

Stretch out your hand.

Jesus is actually

Very clever here by the man extending his hand.

Jesus himself is not doing any work.

There's a healing that's happening,

But it's really god's power which is coming down directly.

So jesus foils the pharisees and heals

The man to boot.

It's blasphemy.

No man is above the laws of moses.

This.

This is not an act of a man

Or a god.

Something far worse.

Jesus seems to be always in conflict with the pharisees,

Partly because jesus exhibits beliefs

That resonate with those of the pharisees.

We often fight with those

That are most like us, harder than strangers.

The way he was questioning authority

And his healing the sick, the people were unclear

And frightened of his power, and that put him in

Danger.

You're not expecting anyone?

I know?

Yeah.

It's. Jesus.

He had.

Matthew.

Not one. I left.

There was this big argument with him

And some pharisees at the capernaum synagogue.

It's like he's set himself up against them.

He's a fool.

Didn't I say this will happen?

We have to bring him here.

No we don't.

I'm not getting myself.

We're not getting ourselves killed

Because he provoked the pharisees.

My brother, the messiah.

If we go anywhere near that synagogue,

I'll be in danger to.

Honor.

I forbid it.

You forbid me?

Come with him.

If it were you,

He'd come to help you.

Oh, yeah.

When mary and james hear

About the amount of conflict that jesus is running into

With the pharisees, they decide

They need to stage what we would call an intervention nowadays.

They need to make the journey from nazareth to capernaum.

It's about 40 miles.

No. Would have taken a couple of days, but two days

Is a very long time in jesus's ministry.

Teacher,

This man is possessed by an evil spirit.

He cannot see

Or speak.

He has been this way for five years.

Do you have the power to help him?

Virtually all societies around the mediterranean believe

That disease was a direct effect from a god.

Disease wasn't something that you could apply medicine to.

Disease was something that you had to counter

With religion.

However, the pharisees are not interested

In the well-being or healing of this blind man.

They're fundamentally trying to set a trap.

And a light and a high.

Beam.

Speak your name.

What do you want with us?

Jesus

Of nazareth.

Have you come to destroy us?

I know who you are.

The holy one of god

Speaks near.

I shut up!

Oh, god, did.

I say,

Leave him.

Oh! He's out of his mind.

Driving out demons wasn't normal behavior.

People who were exorcizing demons could look like

They were possessed by demons themselves.

Mary and james worried about jesus being sane.

It was out of a steady state.

Or as we would say in north carolina, he's 15 degrees

Shy of plumb.

He's not in his right mind.

Thank you, teacher.

It is miasma.

The presence of demons that helps this man

Drive out evil spirits.

This is a serious accusation because beelzebub is

An agent of satan.

Those dealing in evil powers

Could be sentenced to death.

How can you, who are evil,

Say anything good?

For the mouth speaks

What the heart is full of.

A good man brings good out of the good.

The stored up at him.

And an evil man brings out

The evil from the evil that is stored up in him.

Jesus is saying, well, the difference between me

And the devil is

The devil wants demons in people and I want them out.

And so it's not logical to assume that I'm

Working with the devil.

Mary knows about jesus's

Messiah ship from the annunciation,

But the types of things he was doing during his ministry,

Like exorcisms, might have frightened her.

Jesus,

Your mother and james had.

Who? My brother.

Her mother.

Here.

My brother

And mother.

Whoever does god's will

Is my brother

And sister.

And mother.

He denies his mother

And his brothers.

We should go to his home.

Is with god now.

He his home

With these sycophants.

He calls family.

How can you remain so calm?

This story can make a lot of people uncomfortable.

In a sense,

Jesus is dismissing his family in favor of his disciples

And his followers.

So it really is at odds with the christmas card,

Version of jesus where it's all one big happy family.

It shows the holy family, for a time,

At odds with one another.

I know you don't understand.

One day, you will.

John,

You'll.

Andrew.

Jesus.

Answer my questions. Yes.

He said to tell you he's cured

Many people of diseases, plagues and evil spirits.

The blind receive that sight.

The lame walk,

The lepers cleansed.

Oh, the death here.

And the poor have good news brought to them.

That is the decisive foothold.

I want to come bring here.

And eliminate our enemies.

What's to come is just.

As isaiah said.

Jesus is the messiah.

He's come quite.

Oh, and I must become less.

Oh, god.

Oh, no!

John's ministry has always been pointing forward,

Pointing to the one that's coming after him.

It's a way of

Saying I may not see the whole fulfillment

Of this promise, but I believe it will come.

Will.

Being a disciple of jesus means

Being prepared to go on the road with jesus.

Time is short and we must go out and proclaim

The good news to as many people as we can in this moment.

Come on, matthew,

Keep up.

Come on now.

Following jesus as an itinerant disciple would be really hard

Just physically walking around from town to town, not knowing

Where you're going to sleep.

Teacher.

I've learned so

Much following you and

Seen even more.

But my family will be worried about me.

We've already told so many people

About coming kingdom.

When do we get to go home?

I imagine that for the disciples,

They all had moments of wonder.

What is it that we're doing?

What is it that is next?

And where is he leading us?

And where does this road end?

They follow jesus because they believe in him.

But doubts must have crept in

Home.

Matthew.

If you come to me,

I will not leave your family.

You cannot be my follower.

It is a hard,

Hard road.

But I tell you, this.

Anyone

Who leaves their house

And brothers, sisters.

Children, for my sake,

Receive a hundred times as much.

And inherit eternal life.

Whoever will not carry the cross

That is given to them when they follow me.

Cannot be my follower.

For. Carrying

The cross.

What does that mean?

I have seen cattle move

With greater sensuality.

A dance is a promise

Of the things men desire

And might never have

Used with guile.

Your body is a web

That can entrap any man.

Yes, mother.

Oh, baby. Oh!

Our country is at war.

And antipas is taking advice from a madman in a dungeon.

John didn't seem that crazy to me

Right now.

You've been to see him

Before?

Why are you so afraid of him?

I seem to be.

That charlatan is telling antipas our marriage is a sin.

And despite appearances,

Your stepfather has a conscience.

I don't understand.

What did the herod tend to do with wives?

They go cold on you. You think?

What of?

Execute a wife,

Strangle three children.

Well, his father did.

It takes more than just love

To stop a herod from breaking a woman's neck.

John the baptist has to be silenced

Before he persuades antipas to do something.

We'll regret.
