Original subtitles

Oh, oh, oh!

- Udi?

- I heard that.

- That doesn't sound good.

- It's never good in the third watch of the night.

Oh! Oh!

There's too much blood.

The cloth is absorbing it too fast.

- I have nothing left to stop the flow.

- Pull the sheets off the bed.

Is she going to be okay?

- I don't know.

Give her more water.

Stay with us, stay with us!

- Press down on her stomach.

Contract her womb.

There, there... that's it.

- Did I lose my baby?

Shhh.

I'm here.

It took everything

just to get her breathing again.

So?

- I'm sorry.

- What do you mean?

- Her heart has weakened.

I don't believe I can do anything more.

- Oh, no, no, Nili.

No, no, Nili, my love.

Please, just breathe, my child.

Please, just breathe... just breathe.

Jairus?

Just breathe.

- Yes.

- Come with me.

- Oh, my child, please, please.

- I know this is painful,

but I believe arrangements need to be made.

I'm afraid she won't make it much longer.

- Yes, of course.

- You know the tradition.

Rabbi Judah said even the poorest man in Israel

must hire at least two flutes

and one professional wailing woman

for his deceased.

You simply tell me how many flutes

and how many mourners you can afford,

and I will make the arrangements for you.

- No.

- Jairus, I'm sorry, but--

- Please don't do anything unless she dies.

I'll be back soon.

- Whatever it is, you are right,

and I'm sorry.

- Whatever it is?

- Yes.

- Mmm.

Morning, Eema.

- How did you sleep?

- Much better.

More room to stretch.

Nice not to have Thomas's feet a handbreadth from my face.

- You could have reversed and slept with your feet

towards the door like Thomas and I did.

- But then I'd have to wake up to his face and morning breath.

- Boys, don't start.

- You see?

And he still claims that he's not jealous

of me and Thomas's trip together.

- Again with this jealousy thing?

- You've been talking about it ever since we--

- Any word from Thomas?

- Ah, he's probably not even made it to Tel-Dor yet, Abba.

- Oh, of course.

His intended, Ramah, she makes wine?

- Made.

She mostly just learns to read now.

- She's still a vintner,

even when she's not making wine.

Oh, that's right.

She ran a business that required making things

that taste good.

She's got a great palate.

Is she an honest woman?

- What in Israel?

- You do know she's with her Abba right now, don't you?

- Oh, right.

How about Magdalene and Tamar?

Do you find them trustworthy?

- They follow Jesus.

That's enough.

Is this becoming more than just a hobby?

- You have been spending a lot more time.

- And money.

- I sold the boat.

- What?

Why did you do that?

- It's hard work.

It was always hard.

Now the merchants are up earlier and earlier.

- Is this because we left?

- Boys...

My father taught me how to fish.

He fished his whole life, raised six kids,

went to synagogue two times a week,

and died... waiting for the Messiah.

Then I took over and turned his boat into a fleet,

raised you boys, fed a hundred families,

went to synagogue, and waited for the Messiah

till, uh... I was old.

- Abba, you're not old.

- My legacy was waiting for the Messiah

as much as it was fishing.

I only fished to make ends meet

until you got your real jobs.

Your lives led to this.

He chose you!

Now...

I'm free to try something new, too,

right?

- Yes.

- Wish me luck.

- Wait, where are you going?

- I'm going to buy an olive grove.

Can you believe it?

Oh!

- Did he say an olive grove?

- I think.

- An olive grove.

This shortcut isn't very short, is it?

- We're almost there.

- Thad...

now that Zee's not a zealot,

do you still think he still feels murderous?

- You really do say anything that's on your mind

at any time, don't you?

- Not anything.

I say what I think other people are already thinking.

I have strange thoughts too.

I do not share those.

- You're having one now, aren't you?

- I don't know.

Do you ever wonder if bats swim?

So, why do you ask about Zee?

- 'Cause I saw Simon talking to a Roman officer yesterday.

- I thought he was being questioned.

- No, looked like they were having a stroll.

- Hey...

Simon would never betray us.

- I know that,

but it was strange to see him with a Roman,

you know, because they attack us and tax us.

- And like Matthew used to collect those taxes.

You've seen what Jesus does to those who--

- Don't touch it.

- I know, I know.

It's fresh.

- Is she dead”?

- Who are you?

- What's happened?

Did someone hurt you?

- I'm not hurt.

- You need a doctor.

Does your head feel light?

Can you see clearly?

- Listen, you don't have to help me.

- I'll go into town and get the doctor.

- No!

Don't.

I've wasted all my money on doctors.

- Thad, maybe He could help?

- The Master has not been out to the public.

- What are you talking about?

- We are followers of a Rabbi, a very special one,

a different kind of doctor.

- No, different kinds of doctors

only make things worse.

- She doesn't want this,

and it might not be safe right now.

- Sorry.

Shalom.

- Wait!

This Rabbi of yours, you said He was special?

- The most.

- Is He the man who healed the paralytic

at the Pool of Bethesda?

- And so many more.

- You know Him?!

- We're His followers.

- Where is He now?

I won't talk to Him until I'm clean, of course,

but I just need a moment,

and if He's the Holy Man they say He is,

I don't need to waste His time.

I could just touch His garment.

- That's a superstition.

- Maybe for other holy men,

but I'm not talking about other holy men.

I'm talking about Him!

I've heard what He can do, and I saw Him give His sermon.

I'm talking about Him; His garment!

- I understand.

- I'm unable to go to synagogue.

My father disowned me.

I've got no one.

I've come all this way,

and I've waited so long to meet Him.

- You could help us look.

It's funny.

I never bought land to use for anything--

Only to sell it again.

- Were you feeling sentimental when you negotiated the price?

- We got a pretty good deal

for the size and trees in the ground.

- Dying trees.

- Are they?

Hmm.

- They're pitiful.

- If the trees are bad, then why are we doing this?

- It's within the budget we set.

We're going to make the best of it.

- Mm, it's exciting, isn't it?

- We need answers.

You! Hey!

- Tamar.

- Why are these trees dying?

- It's my Abba.

He's sick; he didn't tend to it.

- Hmm, see?

The land's fine; just needs caring for.

- Why didn't you do it?

- I was away.

I got married.

- But you know how to grow olives?

- I grew up in this field.

- How much to teach him?

- What are you doing?

Well, I have to look after my father,

but I could stay on until next harvest for 70%.

- Ha!

Well, thanks anyway.

Fifty...

but I will work only one day a week for that.

- Thirty percent, two days a week,

and we don't pay if we have to replant

any more than five of these trees.

- Deal.

- What just happened?

- Looks like you have a boss.

- I have a boss?

More.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

More, more, more.

There's a lot. Go more.

More, more, more.

More.

Getting closer, more.

Okay, now easy.

More, more, more, more, more.

Easy. Easy.

More, more, more. It's about to touch.

Okay, now come inside and help me.

Okay, I'm grabbing one side.

- Hold it.

- Okay. - Easy.

- I will hold it.

You got my side?

- Easy, easy.

Easy!

- Okay, okay, oh, oh, ahhh!!

We got it.

- Ahh!

Oh, Styx.

Were you not supposed to touch me?

- That may be true.

- Don't you refer to us as dogs or something?

- But you call us dogs...

among other things: rats, vermin--

- You wouldn't drink from my flask last night.

You acted like I'd offered to kiss you or something.

- Kissing or drinking from the same vessel

is not the same as working together

to solve a public health crisis

that affects both of our communities.

- All right, so, are we allowed to--

Blessed are you, Lord our God,

King of the universe,

who creates the fruit of the vine.

It didn't work, by the way.

- What?

- Telling her she was right.

- Why? Did you mean it?

Or were you just saying it to placate her?

There is an art to this sort of thing.

- I don't even know what I did.

How could I mean it?

I tried to make it sound sincere.

- Simon, it doesn't work

if you don't know what you're conceding,

no matter how sincere.

Is there another woman?

- No.

- Are the kids all right?

- We don't have kids yet.

Well, you shouldn't be taking marriage advice

from me anyway, that's for sure.

- You offered it!

- I just meant that, that line has worked for me many times.

Come on, let's get back to it.

Shovel.

- What about you?

You have kids?

- Two.

Well, two children in the house.

My son and a servant boy the same age.

They're friends.

- Child slavery.

And you wonder why our people find you distasteful.

- His mother worked for us, and she died giving birth,

and we raised him as our own.

Is that so barbaric?

His other options would've been far worse, I assure you.

- Oh, your merciful kindness is dazzling.

You deserve a medal.

It was just a joke!

- It's not funny.

Do not make light of my situation.

- Situation?

- Just shovel.

- Fine, I went too far.

- I don't want a medal.

I want--

- What?

- Let's just keep going.

Maybe we can have this cleared by lunch.

We're gonna need a mason for reassembly.

You know one?

- Yeah, I might.

- Unh, that's good.

Jairus, are you all right?

- I don't have time for your pity.

- What?

- It's my daughter, Nili.

She had a horrible episode in the night.

She's dying.

I'm looking for information on healing--

- Your daughter is--

- Yes.

- Adonai in heaven.

- Take me to Him.

You know of Whom I speak.

I need Him now!

- I don't know where He is.

- You have an idea.

You know people who know.

- His men often don't know where He is,

but I will take you to them.

How can you be sure?

- I'm not, but I saw him with Jesus

at Matthew's house and the house of Zebedee.

Andrew, son of Jonah.

This is an emergency.

Open up.

On Synagogue authority.

Andrew, are you there?

- Andrew! Andrew!

Who are you?

- I'm new here.

- I'm the Capernaum Synagogue ruler.

I must speak with Andrew's rabbi.

- Well, He's my rabbi too.

- Take me to Him.

- I don't know where He is, and even if I did,

I wouldn't be at liberty to disclose.

Shalom.

- My daughter's name is Nili.

She's 12 years old,

and her eyes are closed right now,

but not forever.

It cannot be forever; do you hear me?

- I'm--I'm very sorry.

- If you have blood in your veins,

you must help me!

- All I can tell you is that you might consider

asking Andrew's brother.

- He's back.

- At the house?

- Just this morning.

And now to the breaking of my fast.

Thank you, Eden.

- Of course.

- Wait, you fasted while you were away?

- No, just overnight, eight hours.

Blessed are you, Lord our God,

King of the universe,

who brings forth bread from the earth.

Mmm.

Eden, these pickled cucumbers are magnificent.

You know, Rabbi,

I've been meaning to ask you about fasting.

- A thing I am very happy not to be doing right now.

- John required us to fast at regular intervals.

He said the sacrifice of fasting

is integral to any serious commitment to God,

and yet you've never once asked any of us to fast.

Oh, there was the time on Shabbat

where we ate the head of grain,

but we were just hungry;

that wasn't intentional fasting.

- What are you getting at?

- Well, the Pharisees fast all the time.

- Make a big scene out of it, disfiguring their faces.

If it's such a big deal to them,

and they find out we don't do it--

I don't know--

Don't you think they could possibly weaponize that

against us?

- Can the wedding guests mourn

as long as the bridegroom is with them?

The days are coming when the bridegroom

will be taken away from them.

Then they will fast.

- Taken away?

- Hold that thought.

When you fasted before, what did you pray for?

- Your arrival.

- Right, so what would be the point now?

- Exactly.

Eden, do you have any wine fermenting

right at the moment?

- Uh, yes, in the back room.

- Little James,

can you please take down that empty wineskin?

- Sure.

- Ooh, I feel a lesson coming.

- Eden, when you last checked on the wine,

what was it doing?

What it always does at this stage, sort of bubbling,

popping out little plumes of air now and then.

- James, how does that wineskin feel?

- Um, stiff, not very flexible.

- So if Eden were to put her new wine into that container,

what would happen?

- I don't know.

- The old leather can't stretch any more.

- The new wine would keep expanding,

and it would explode.

- And so new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.

- I'll be the first one to admit I-I don't... get it.

- The ways of the kingdom I am bringing into this world

will not fit into old containers or frameworks.

- Being revolutionary's fun.

- Those are some of His followers,

and that's Simon's house.

So, John made you fast

as he preached a message of repentance,

and you will again when I'm gone,

but as I am here,

preaching a message of salvation,

now is not the time.

- I still want to know what You mean by "gone."

- What did we miss?

- Shalom, Rabbi.

This is Him.

- Shalom, Yussif.

I know You.

- Do you?

Stand with Me.

- I have heard, and I have read--

I have read accounts from...

from someone I trust.

You do miracles, right?

You are a healer?

- Of more than just physical maladies, yes.

- Please...

my daughter is dying.

- I'm so sorry.

- But come--

Come and lay Your hands on her,

and she will live.

- You've never met Me,

yet you have this much faith that I can heal your daughter?

- I know You.

Please.

- Take Me to her.

- You have a religion?

- Who, me?

- No, the Romans.

You have gods, festivals, no?

- Yeah, sure, but not anything like you;

just parties, auspices.

- We have parties too.

- From what I can tell, they do not look as fun as ours.

- Depends on the definition.

Another thing we have is prophecies.

- So I'm told.

- And I'm beginning to think I'm living in one.

- What, with the Preacher?

- No, this.

Our prophet, Jeremiah,

he said "My people have committed two evils:

"They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters,

"and hewed out cisterns for themselves,

broken cisterns that can hold no water."

- You know, that sounds like a riddle.

- You know, you'd make a good Jew.

We love riddles.

We call those ones metaphors.

- So, have you?

- What?

- I mean, forsaken your god of water?

It sounds like your god identifies

as a source of water,

and the broken cisterns are a sign

that you turned your back on him.

- We only have one God of water, fire, wind,

and everything else.

- That's efficient, maybe a little boring.

- It's a lot easier than a pantheon.

- They're not that hard to keep track of:

Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Neptune,

Venus, Apollo, Diana--

- All right, all right, all right, stop.

I'm exhausted already.

What, sacrifices to all of them?

- It depends on what you want.

I mean, safe travel? Mercury.

Victory in war? Mars.

Fertility? Juno.

- A big catch of fish?

- Neptune.

- Peace in a relationship?

- Ah, Vesta,

Goddess of hearth and home.

- What's going on?

Where are you going?

- The Preacher.

They say He's going to do a miracle.

Even you should be there.

- James, John, what is this?

- We don't know any more than you do.

- Come on.

Make room.

Please, people, walk back, walk back.

Let us through, please.

Step back, sir.

Give us some space; let us through.

We need a path, please.

Please, sir.

We will come back; I promise you.

Come on.

Everyone, let us go through, please.

- Everyone, pressing matter up ahead.

- Please let us through.

- Everyone, make room, please.

- Please, please.

- Stay back.

- Please everyone, just get back.

We need to get through.

We need to get to our Teacher.

Please, everyone, move.

- Little James!

- I'm okay.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Oh, I got you.

- Thank you. Thank you.

Is everyone here?

- Please have patience, everyone.

- Please.

Sir, walk back.

- What's going on?

Step back.

We need space.

- Simon's house.

We need to get through.

Step back.

Our Rabbi has a pressing matter ahead.

- It's Him; it's your Rabbi!

- Stay here.

Our Rabbi has a pressing matter ahead.

I promise we'll come back.

Please.

- Let us keep going forward.

Okay, a little patience.

- Stay back, stay back, everyone.

Teacher!

Teacher!

Our Rabbi has a pressing matter ahead, people.

Teacher!

Please, please, a little patience.

A little patience.

- No, no, no.

Please, no, not now.

One thread, one thread.

Just the fringe, one touch.

Please, please, let us through, please.

Stop resisting.

Back! Step back!

- One thread, just the fringe.

One touch, one thread, one thread.

Just--just the edge, only a thread.

- You!

I know you.

Get away from Him.

- No, no, stop it, please.

- Rabbi Yussif! Rabbi Yussif!

This woman bleeds.

She is unclean.

We removed her--

- Please, please, I promise I won't touch Him.

I--I just need--

- Oh, woman, please, we can help you,

but not now.

- Sorry.

We'll try tomorrow.

- No, please, just a moment,

just His garment!

- No, no.

Please, please, okay, okay.

Get back, everyone.

What's going on? What's wrong?

- Who touched Me?

- Everybody back.

- I asked a question.

Who touched Me?

Master,

the crowds are pressing in all around You like this,

and You're asking who touched You?

They all have.

- Someone touched Me.

I felt that power went out of Me.

Whoever touched Me, come forward.

- Teacher.

- It was me.

Just the fringe of your garment,

only the edge, I promise.

You are not unclean.

- Why My garment?

I'm sorry.

I know I should have asked,

but if You touched me,

it would make you ritually unclean according to the Law.

I was sick.

I was sick for 12 years.

I bled, and no one could stop it.

But I believed if I could just touch a piece of Your garment.

I was right, I was right.

Thank you.

- Who told you I could heal?

- A man from The Pool...

and he was right.

The blood has ceased.

- My daughter.

- I'm no one's daughter any more.

- Look up.

Yes, you are.

Daughter...

...it wasn't My piece of clothing that healed you.

- But it was instant; I felt it right away.

- I know, but it wasn't this.

It was your faith.

- Teacher, she was bleeding so long,

we can take her--

- She is clean!

You have blessed Me today,

and I know...

My daughter, I know it has been a fight for you for so long.

You must be...

Exhausted.

Go now in peace.

Your faith has made you well.

I wish I could stay here longer,

but I have business to attend to.

Someone else has faith like yours.

But I'm so glad that we found each other.

Please, I promise I will speak to all of you soon,

and my students and I will care for your needs,

but right now,

there's something very important that I must do,

and I kindly ask you to let me go

so I can take care of this urgent issue.

I promise I will see you,

but right now is not possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Zee,

you stay back and help them back to their tents.

And please, be kind to them.

Nathanael, Thad, and Philip,

make sure no one bothers her.

Simon, Big James, John...

come with us.

Do you have everything you need?

- I could use a knife.

- A what?

- Oh.

Can we borrow a knife?

- A knife? Yes.

- Thank you, thank you.

Looks like I indeed came to the right man.

- Well, between you and her, it's quite a big day of faith.

- It's just up ahead.

- Mm.

- Do you hear that?

No! What is this?

- Jairus, while you were gone--

- No!

Why do I hear mourners and flutes?

I said not to do that; she was sick!

- Your daughter passed away.

We had to make arrangements quickly.

No, no, I went to find the teacher!

He was going to heal her!

- I know who You are.

Let's not trouble Him any more.

Michal is with Nili's body.

- No!

No! I was getting Jesus!

I went as fast as I could!

- Do not be afraid.

Only believe.

She will be well.

Jairus.

Jairus! Let's go in!

Please stay here; we will--

- She will be well.

All of you, stop it!

I said stop!

What are you doing?

- There's a girl.

- She's dead.

- Go away,

for she isn't dead, but sleeping.

- What is all this laughing?

He said she's only asleep.

- What a cruel thing to say.

- Do you know Who you're taking to?

- If you were a member of the family,

I would invite you in to see just how dead she is.

What are you? A necromancer?

Shame on you for saying such a ridiculous thing!

- Everyone out.

- You heard Him!

- Boys, take everyone outside.

- We were paid to play!

- You listen to me right now!!

- Come, let's give them a moment.

- Michal.

- Where were you?!

- I was finding this Man.

- She is dead, and you were gone!

Why would you just leave us like this?!

- Please trust me!

Please trust me and trust Him!

- For what?

For what?!

- Please.

- I know.

- No.

No.

- Shh-shh-shh.

No.

- Shh.

- What are You doing?

Just please, please.

- Little lamb, arise.

- Oh! On!

Nili, my love!

Oh, thank you.

Are you okay?

You're okay!

Oh, my love.

Thank you!

She's okay.

- Everyone in this room,

please listen to me carefully.

Simon, James, John, Jairus, Michal, and Nili,

none of you are to say a word about this to anyone

under any circumstances.

Do I make Myself clear?

No one, not even to the others.

- Yes, Rabbi.

JAMES and JOHN: Yes, Rabbi.

- It is not yet time for the commotion that will result,

and none of you need the attention.

Not all of it will be good.

- Whatever You command, we shall do.

- Nili, you must be hungry.

- How can I thank You?

I don't understand what You did but--

- You're welcome.

Let's just get Nili something to eat first, okay?

- Nili, come on, love.

Thank You.

Th--

Thank You.

There are no other words but thank You.

- Thank you for your faith.

I pray that more in the synagogue

will share it.

Come.

I don't know

what may or may not have happened in there,

but did you touch a corpse?!

- Go see for yourself.

- I've also just been told

you touched a woman who was bleeding.

- She wasn't bleeding any more.

- How could you know for sure?

- Are we really having this conversation?

- You've got no right to question Him!

You and anyone You have touched

are ceremonially unclean until sundown

and must carry out the rituals of purification.

- And what are your intentions if that doesn't happen?

I will write a letter to the Sanhedrin,

reporting You.

A letter.

Hmm.

Who among you touched either Me

or the woman who was formerly bleeding?

Raise your hands.

Come with Me, and let's get the others.

You there!

- Oh, no!

Did I make you unclean?

Did the priest send you?

- He thinks he did.

We just wanted to go for a swim.

- Joke's on him.

- We were looking for you.

- Yes, to see how you're doing.

- Thank You.

I--I know I disturbed You.

- Ah, it was a welcome disturbance.

My favorite kind.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I can't miss this.

- Twelve years?

How did you survive?

- It's a long story.

- Good stories usually are.

Let's go!

- Ah!

- Ohhh!

- Ahhh!

- Whoo!

- Who's that? Is that you?

- Why are you all so small from up here?

- Big James! Big James!

- Make sure he doesn't lean forward.

- Hey!

Ohhhh!

- Judas, here we go.

Here we go.

- My money is on Judas and James.

Let's go.

- Okay, here we go.

- Ready? Here we go.

- Wait, I don't have a good feeling about this.

- Ohhh!

Whoo!

- Judas and James win!

- Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
