- Yes?

ATTICUS: I'm here to see Quintus.

- That's Praetor Quintus,

and you may only request an audience via formal--

[pounds desk]

--application.

Did you deface and remove a public notice?

- How 'bout now?

- Atticus Aemilius Pulcher?

Sent all the way to the Upper Galilee.

- You're behind the times, Quintus.

I've been up and down Judea.

Practically under your nose.

- I thought you retired.

- Cohortes Urbanae don't retire.

- That's right.

They ship you off to Gaul.

- Question for you.

How do you hold up all that armor with no spine?

- Don't be salty.

Gaul's not a bad place to retire.

I hear the women all have red hair, and the music--

- I'm not here to talk about women and music,

though I'm sure you have plenty of time for both.

- Yes, I do, because I keep things so tight around here.

It's how I have time for you.

Oh, and Hail Caesar!

Did I hail already?

How can I serve him today?

- I come bearing intelligence.

- I bear ears.

- Good.

Open them wide, Quintus.

I've got news.

It's about Jesus of Nazareth.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!

How are we gonna measure it if you throw it in the sea?

- By the splash.

- Throw it on the shore.

- I'm gonna win anyway.

- We'll see.

If it's between fishing

or hearing Rabbi's instructions about the sermon,

I'll throw this thing to the Mediterranean.

- We should all be fishing!

Try to avoid anything like what happened in Wadi Kelt.

- So, throw it, big guy.

Winner's pick.

- Yeah, okay.

[plop]

[plop]

JOHN: Go, go!!

[plop, plop]

Yes!

BIG JAMES: Yes, yes!!

[laughing]

The sons of Jonah fish today.

- Great, two out of three.

What if we arm wrestle?

- Why are we deciding anything?

We should all be fishing like Jesus asked.

We can't risk messing up His sermon plans.

- Andrew, I never took you for a sore loser.

- Easy, Little Thunder.

You go listen to Rabbi,

and catch us up when we come back.

- No, I mean it!

Rabbi has told four of us to find food.

We should do as He says or...

or bad things will happen.

- Sore loser and superstitious.

Not a good look.

- Not a good look.

Oh, and Simon,

we can arm wrestle next time.

- No problem.

- That was a terrible suggestion.

- You don't think I can take at least one of them?

Have some faith, man.

- Faith isn't my problem!

JESUS: Everyone has a part to play

in the execution of this sermon.

Sons of Thunder,

aren't you supposed to still be fishing?

- We decided they could handle it,

we wanted to learn more about what you are planning.

- Hmm...

You won a contest, huh?

[chuckling]

How is Andrew?

- Eh, he'll get over it.

[Jesus chuckling]

So, what have we missed?

- Zee is working on a security plan,

Mary and Ramah are back at camp working on--

- Thank you, Matthew,

they don't need to hear all the details.

Here's what I want each of you to understand,

and what I want you to make sure

that everyone else understands as well.

It's the "why" of this sermon, hmm?

It's not because we need to make our presence felt

here in the region,

and it's not about the details

of how we make this happen.

The details matter, yes,

and all of you will make sure this is executed well.

But what makes this sermon so important

is each person who will be there.

Philip, what makes John's sermons so memorable?

- The volume.

[Jesus chuckling]

- Well, yes, that, too.

- He spoke directly to whoever was there.

It was personal.

- Yes, good.

But this sermon will have thousands of people,

so I won't be directing it to one group of people

over another.

But what I will say

will be for each and every one of them.

They're coming because word is spreading

from the signs and wonders,

but what I'll be giving to them

will be far more important...

truth.

This will define our whole ministry,

and that's what we need to focus on.

[door latch clicks]

[door closes]

- It's customary to send word ahead

when rabbis return to the order.

- Well, let's just see what happens now that we haven't.

[Yanni clears throat]

YANNI: Rabbi Shmuel bar Yosef of Capernaum.

[Applause]

- Shmuel!

- Shalom, Yussif.

- The learned Shmuel returns from Jerusalem!

For what reason, we cannot say, but we are honored.

- For the sardines! Where else would I go?

YANNI: We do have them pickled in the Holy City as well.

- I think Nicodemus made a fish joke

upon his last arrival as well.

Oh! Prepare the seat of honor.

- No, no, Yussif.

I've done nothing to--

- You were accepted by the Great Sanhedrin of Jerusalem

for special research.

A proposal few are granted.

Please--

- I am flattered by your gesture, Yussif,

but this is no time for sitting.

May I speak with you privately?

Well... yes, of course.

- Accompany me to the Bet Midrash.

- But why her?

- She referenced the healing of a leper.

Remember?

- There is no law against healing a leper.

- But if it was on Shabbat, like he did at the Pool,

then a pattern has emerged.

He can tell us what blasphemy this Ethiopian woman--

- Tamar.

- She could be the key to confirming two incidents.

- But a woman's testimony is worthless.

- Not if she leads us to the leper.

- You think someone healed of leprosy

would turn over damning information about his healer?

- To do otherwise would violate the commandment

against bearing false witness.

With all due respect, Teacher,

I thought you went to Jerusalem

to study false prophecy, not hunt down this one man

from Nazareth, of all places.

- One in the same errand, Yussif.

- I know He spends time with sinners, but--

- The Ethiopian-- is she still in Capernaum?

- Not in Capernaum.

Last I heard of her was from Yehuda.

He encountered her in Magdal.

- Why did Yehuda bother to mention it?

- She was offering testimony on the street.

- A woman.

- Blasphemy.

It's like a wildfire with this man.

Everywhere he goes.

We must find her.

- And if you discover the healing was not on Shabbat?

♪ ♪

I hope you will consider sharing your experience in Jerusalem

with us.

- I would like that, Yussif.

But there is one other I must speak with.

- I don't know why the grain thing bothers you so much.

Jesus didn't mind.

- The Pharisees did mind.

And they'll report Him now.

- Jesus knows how to handle Himself.

You don't have to ride to His rescue all the time.

- Seriously?

You, the master of riding to His rescue?

- Yeah, all right.

I did that a few times;

I know it doesn't help.

- You know what they're doing to John.

We can't let them do that to Jesus.

- We won't!

- Then let's not make a scene everywhere we go!

That's all I'm saying.

It's common sense.

- I think He's more of an uncommon sense guy.

Get used to different, brother.

- I'm being smart.

What?

- Leave smart to Matthew and Thomas.

So, Matthew's smart now?

The Messiah really has come!

- Forget I said anything.

Let's just fish.

[splash]

[background voices]

- I'm here to request an audience with the Praetor.

It's urgent.

- That's what everyone says.

- Well, there are signs all over Capernaum

saying the man known as Jesus of Nazareth

is sought for questioning.

- I can take your statement.

- I believe he was last seen in Jerusalem,

for one of our Pilgrimage Festivals.

- When was this?

- Five days ago.

- That's outdated intelligence.

- What?

- We'll have him in our custody by tomorrow.

- What's happened?

- Arrested on what charge?

- Is there anything else you'd like to report?

- With all respect, officer,

I must know the nature of the charges.

If he broke Jewish law, then we must know.

- We?

- What do you know of the order of the Zealots?

- The Fourth Philosophy?

I-I don't understand.

- Stories and rumors.

They are outsiders.

- What have the Zealots got to do with Jesus of Nazareth?

- Thank you for coming in.

Can you see yourselves out

or would you like me to show you the way?

- No, no, you're on the wrong track.

Jesus is dangerous but he's not--

- We can decide for ourselves who's dangerous.

Thank you.

- May we question him?

Once you have him in custody?

- Yes, I would very much like to speak with him

on behalf of the Capernaum Synagogue.

- We'll pass that along.

- Will you really?

- No.

- Out.

- Mark my words... do not underestimate him.

[sword slides from sheath]

- Do not underestimate this.

[sword slides back in sheath]

[footsteps]

- So, what's your plan, Primi?

- Plan?

We're gonna walk through that city like we own it,

arrest our man,

and be home by breakfast, cohorte.

That is the plan.

- Have you been to Jotapata?

- I've seen schematics.

- It's a very, um... intense place.

- Meaning?

- Well, let's just say the Praetor in Jotapata

doesn't have the kind of control Quintus has in Capernaum.

- How do you know that?

- I used to have some reliable informants there.

- What happened? They stopped talking?

- They stopped living.

Tortured to death.

One by one.

Rome is the enemy in Jotapata, Primi.

- Not great.

- Yeah, you know the guys in black and white?

- Pharisees.

- They've got a lot of 'em.

And the other ones?

- Sadducees.

- Yeah, some of those, too.

And preachers, like this Jesus,

all over the place.

Pretty much everyone in the town is on a mission of protest.

You know what I mean?

- I am starting to get the picture.

- Jesus' camp is just south of the city.

- Maybe we'll take the long way around.

[Atticus chuckles]

- Now, that sounds like a good plan.

- Is that why you came along?

- I wanted the exercise.

But, mostly, your Praetor

is about the most detestable guy in all of Galilee.

- You're sure that is all?

Could've walked along the seashore.

If you wanted to avoid Quintus,

there's always plenty to drink in a fishing city.

[Atticus chuckles]

- You've got good instincts, Primi.

All right,

I must admit I am intrigued by your prey.

- Jesus of Nazareth?

- I saw a man who had not stood on his own two feet

in half a century, bounding like a boy.

I watched a martyr throw down his weapon and take a knee.

I saw a lunatic's eyes go clear.

Jesus of Nazareth did those things.

He doesn't strike me at all as threatening or scary...

and that scares me.

Now, maybe I'm just interested

to see how he'll take to wrist irons.

- Listen up, men...

SIMON: Like old times, huh?

- As He said, no one ever has to guess

what's going on in your head.

- There's nothing in my head.

This... it's in our bones.

Don't have to think.

- Must be nice.

- What?

- Having nothing in your head.

- Don't be smart.

It's just a saying.

- Certainly was true

when you plucked the heads of grain at Wadi Kelt.

- Everybody did that...

except Mary.

- She'd already done her part.

- You think you're never going to make another mistake

in your life?

- She was gone for days!

- Two; don't exaggerate.

- Me, not exaggerate?!

- Are you telling me not to exaggerate?

That's... wow!

- Look, she went through something

horrible and terrifying

and she dealt with it the best way she knew how.

- She should have gone to Jesus.

- She knows that now.

If you remember,

Jesus was disarming crazy Simon of his dagger.

- Oh, now, he's the crazy Simon?

- I'm a married man who worked an honest trade--

- Worked an honest trade dishonestly!

- It is how I met Jesus.

Unexpected roads.

- Gambling, brawling was that also unexpected?

- You gambled, too.

- And I'll never do it again.

And if I'm ever tempted,

I'll ask the Rabbi for help.

Certainly won't do something selfish

that leaves the group stranded at camp for two days, starving,

or puts Jesus on edge,

makes Him snap at the Pharisees

who are hunting us down now!

- He was grieving John's arrest.

And they're not hunting us down.

You're so dramatic.

- When word reaches Jerusalem

that He claimed the title Son of Man

and Lord of the Sabbath,

they'll hunt Him down, they'll put Him away,

and it could completely ruin all the plans for the sermon,

erase all the momentum we've gained.

That's what I'm afraid of.

- Jerusalem doesn't even open the mail from Wadi Kelt!

Andrew, this is just fear talking.

- I've been at this longer than you.

When they decide they don't like you, it's over.

John!

John might spend his life in prison!

- But Herod arrested John-- not the Sanhedrin.

- The Sanhedrin arrests people all the time!

- You're the one who told me He was the Messiah.

Am I going to have to be the one to remind you now?

- The very fact that He's the Messiah

means there's going to be trouble.

You get it?

Maybe even a war.

- If you were building an army,

would you start with Little James and Thaddeus?

- Simon!

- You think He's drawing up military plans

all the times He goes away to desolate places?

- He never comes back with anything!

- You know what?

Let's just fish, all right?

Can we?

Lots of jewelry, very striking, very loud.

- Gets men like you upset?

TOGETHER: Yes.

- I'm not sure what could be clearer than the three words,

"I will be back."

- That's four.

- How can you dispute that?

- Maybe it was a hint.

That we are supposed to be the fulfillment of those words.

- Zealots, and your secret handshakes and codes!

- I'm not a Zealot anymore, just zealous.

There's a difference.

- You just interpreted plain speech

about trust and peacefulness as code for insurrection.

BIG JAMES: I think he's on to something.

we can't let anything stop it.

- The first story I ever heard about you,

[pit dings in cup]

I didn't believe it.

- That's usually how it goes.

- It wasn't about religion, or preaching, or God.

It was about fish.

- Ah, another common theme.

- It was an impossibly huge catch, Atticus.

It settled the largest debt in Capernaum's ledger.

Oh, did you meet Atticus?

He's Cohortes Urbanae.

They're like Caesar's personal detectives.

Mostly in Rome but they go wherever.

He's especially interested in you.

- Have you ever visited the Far East, Jesus?

- I have received visitors from there,

but never been there myself.

- They eat their fish raw.

Peel off the scales,

cut off the heads and tails and...

take a bite.

- That's quite something.

- They eat the flesh and spit out the bones.

- Of course.

- If Simon had not settled his debt,

that could've resulted in my demotion.

That was flesh.

You create a public disruption

that results in damage to property,

a stampede,

and a blight on my personal reputation.

Mm... bones.

You seduced the single most brilliant and effective

tax collector in the entire Upper Galilee.

Also, bones.

And now, the most tenured Cohortes Urbanae

in the history of the Roman Empire

tells me he personally witnessed you disarm

a Zealot sicarii.

Well... that's flesh.

That's flesh.

- Sorry to have caused so much confusion for you

over flesh and bone.

- Confusion?

No... no.

If your race weren't so repugnant and odious,

I'd offer you a job!

- I cannot take that as a compliment.

- Jesus, this whole thing is very simple.

You seem to be splitting your time

between creating headaches for Rome

and victories we could not achieve ourselves.

- That's a little reductive.

- You've doubled your following since leaving Capernaum.

Then again, you returned a violent man,

who had been terrorizing Jericho to his senses.

- But word of your "miracles" or whatever

has spread all through Syria

and they start coming over here.

Do you see my problem?

I don't know whether to eat you or spit you out,

to stick with the fish metaphor.

We're probably past that now.

I'm saying I don't know what to make of you.

- That's going to be a lot of people's problem with me.

- No more bones, Jesus.

Follow me?

No more draining my talent pool,

creating spectacles, crowds.

No more meddling, hmm?

We're a small town.

He healed on Sabbath in our synagogue

- And there were women among his followers.

I believe my rabbi, Nicodemus,

saw something remarkable in your master.

Shmuel is threatened by what he can't comprehend.

Worse, he's ambitious.

Shmuel does not honor Nicodemus' teaching.

You are the paralytic man Jesus healed?

- Yes.

- You both must leave this place.

- You should go with Andrew.

- What will you do?

- I'll lay low,

disappear until things go quiet.

- And what if things don't go quiet?

- I hope they don't.

But it's a good idea we separate for now.

Take her with you.

- I don't know if...

- I do want to follow Him.

- We will talk to Him.

- Go now.

PHILLIP: He's not here.

Who are you?

Okay, then.

Fill me in on the road?

- He's back!

Teacher, are you hurt?

What happened?

- Well, I suppose I should not be surprised you would spot me.

Hi, Eema.

Oh.

- Rabbi, are you safe?

- Did anyone follow you?

- Yes, I'm safe, and they just wanted to talk.

- I'm very happy.

[Jesus chuckles]

- I'm glad, Matthew.

- Just talk?

- Quintus wanted to talk, yes,

but the Romans, they don't find me much of a threat,

which is fine.

- Hopefully, that'll change soon.

- So, what were you doing out here?

- Praying, John.

Remember, there's a big event to prepare for.

- Rabbi, with all due respect,

you couldn't have told us that you were back first?

You were grabbed by Roman soldiers with weapons,

we were all worried sick.

- Did I not tell you that I would be back,

and to keep planning?

You're all going to have to learn how to do this

regardless of what's happening,

good or bad.

Things are only going to get more difficult.

You can't just shut down when you're fearful.

And what are you going to do when I'm no longer here?

- Yes, we are still figuring this out.

- Yes, but we can do better--

we--we will do better.

- Rabbi, Philip said the Baptizer

gave his followers a prayer

in addition to the daily traditional prayers.

Perhaps you could do the same?

- Yes, I know I'd like to learn more about

what you're saying when you're out alone.

- Now... now you're behaving like true students;

this is what I like to see.

And prayer is the first step

in getting the mind and the heart right;

it's why you see me go to it so often.

SIMON: So, teach us...

to pray like You do... please.

- When we pray,

we want to be sure to first start with

acknowledging our Father in heaven,

and His greatness.

So, you can say,

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name."

And we always want to be sure to do God's will

and not our own.

So we say, "Your Kingdom come,

Your will be done on earth,

as it is in heaven."

And just as we asked...

[approaching footsteps]

- Matthew... Matthew.

- Rabbi?

- Sorry to wake you, Matthew.

- Are you in trouble?

- Shhh, shhh, I don't want you to wake the others.

Nothing is wrong.

- Why did you wake me up and not the others?

- I've been forming fragments of teaching in My mind

for some months now in preparation for the sermon.

I'm ready to organize them.

- I'll get my writing materials.

You've just returned from detention.

Will these teachings make things worse?

- I'm here to make things better, not worse, Matthew.

- But I mean-- for all of us who love You.

- No promises.

Let's go.

- It must be tonight?

- The time has come.
