If he was supposed to be healed, God would have done it himself.

Interesting point.

We will have no choice but to follow the law of Moses.

I am the law of Moses.

You can't hear insulting words.

Oh, I am just getting started.

The desecrations of heresy will be purged from this sacred place. I and the

Father are one.

He is no heretic. We just saw him do a miracle.

Ah, yes.

Nazarene, I just spoke to a man who claims you healed his blindness.

Today.

On Shabbat.

Is there a question coming? I was told you put mud on his eyes.

Where did you get mud knowing you're not supposed to make healing concoctions on

Shabbat? It was easy. I just spit on the dirt. What?

You touched his face with filth? Cleanliness.

That's what you're focused on? You claim to be a rabbi.

to be the son of God, and you don't honor purity laws even on the most

sacred day of the week?

You Pharisees, you cleanse the outside of a cup and a dish, and then you eat

and drink food that goes into a body that inside is full of greed and

wickedness.

You fools!

Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?

But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean

for you. Are you saying giving alms is more important than being ritually

clean? I'm saying that your obsession with what is clean and unclean goes

farther than God intended and does no good for anybody but yourself. We tithe

everything so the poor can benefit, down to the smallest plants grown in our

gardens. And to that I say, woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and dill and

cumin. Measuring carefully the last speck while neglecting what is actually

important of the law.

Justice and mercy and faithfulness.

You blind guides straining out an act while swallowing a camel.

Look at these people.

What have you done to help them? We have taught them how to observe God's perfect

law. while you actively defy and break and encourage others to deviate from it.

All of you, this man is dangerous.

He's leading you astray. His words bring hope and healing. His words are

blasphemous, heretical. Then I say woe to you, Pharisees, for you love the best

seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. Take it back.

Right now, you can't hear insulting words.

Oh, I am just getting started.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

What is your name?

Elam.

Your friend Elam has a withered hand. Are you a healer?

It is not lawful to heal on Sabbath.

Which one of you who has a sheep?

and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it

out. Who are you to speak to our congregation in such a way? Of how much

more value is this man than a sheep? Stop this at once.

Come here. Come stand here.

It's okay.

Elam, sit down.

We don't know this person.

He could be a shaman. Is it lawful on Sabbath to do good or to do harm?

To save life or to kill?

This affliction does not threaten his life. It does not even affect his

health.

Stretch it out.

Feels good, huh?

If he was supposed to be healed, God would have done it himself.

Interesting point.

Get out!

Gladly.

Blasphemer! What is wrong with you?

Apparently everything.

Wait!

Come back!

Out of the way!

You have made him mockery of our little synagogue and of Torah. You will tell us

your name, your lineage, your... First you, and now your disciples,

are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.

Have you not read what David did when he was in need and was hungry? He entered

the house of God in the time of Ahimelech, the priest, and ate the bread

of the presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, but only for the

priests. You would compare yourself to David. It was an emergency. Or have you

not read in the law how on Shabbat the priests in the temple profane the

Sabbath, but are guiltless? That's for Levites.

Are you a Levite of priestly lineage?

Listen carefully.

Something greater than the temple is here.

And if you had known what this means, I desire mercy, not sacrifice.

You would not have condemned the guiltless.

Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

So, the Son of Man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.

Son of a... Let's go.

You! By whose authority do you teach?

Answer me!

If you are willing, Rabbi, you know you can.

Hey, I'm talking to you!

By whom do you teach?

Certainly not the authority of any rabbi from Nazareth. Where did you study? Your

faith is beautiful.

Son, take heart.

Your sins are forgiven.

Who is this who speaks blasphemies?

Who can forgive sins but God alone?

Right.

But I ask you, which is easier to say, your sins are forgiven,

or rise up and walk?

It's easy to say anything, no?

But to show you, and so that you may know that the Son of

Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.

I say to you, my son, rise,

pick up your bed, and go home.

You!

You're Jesus of Nazareth, aren't you?

How long will you keep us in suspense?

If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. I told you, and you did not believe.

When? When did you tell us? The works I do in my father's name bear witness

about me. What do you mean, my father? But you do not believe, because you are

not among my sheep. You would utter such a profanation amid the pillars of

Solomon's porch?

Have you no shame? My sheep hear my voice, and I know them.

And they follow me. He just said that he's the Christ. And we did not believe.

This blasphemy is enough for capital punishment. And we are on temple ground.

We need stones!

What stones?

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch

them out of my hand. No one can grab eternal life.

Your desecrations of heresy will be purged from this sacred place. My father

who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one will be able to snatch

them out of the father's hand.

I and the father are one.

For which of them do you stone me? Good works.

If you've done any, that's not why we're stoning you. It's for blasphemy.

Because you, being a man, make yourself God. You call me a blasphemer because I

said I am the son of God?

You utter such a thing and shall be punished by death according to the law

of Moses.

You know little of the law of Moses.

Someone get the temple guards! Ask him!

Father then do not believe me but by my works you should understand the Father

is in me and I am in the Father you were

saying about the law

what's

going on who is this my sister Mary

Mary! Spikenard. Mary, what are you doing?

You're letting your sister touch his feet. That's degrading. Have you heard

nothing of what the teacher has said?

All right, this is enough.

Jesus. Once again, Shmuel, there is no law in Torah commanding that a woman

cover her hair.

That's just tradition.

You're commending her?

Excusing her? Shmuel, we don't know this family. It's not our place.

Blessed are you, king of the universe, for you have done all things right.

Yusuf, Hernan, we need to leave. No.

Rabbi Shmuel, I understand, but we have to... She's performing an inappropriate

act openly, without shame, and he is allowing it while being called God.

We can't be found out for having witnessed it and done nothing. An open

investigation, you said.

Let's see what he says.

Pure nard.

Of the highest quality.

What troubles you, Judas?

Why was this ointment not sold for hundreds of denarii? You just told a

story about how caring for the poor is akin to caring for the Messiah.

Yes!

This could have been given to the poor.

This could have been used for anything.

Supplies, shelter, things we need. But this... This is a waste.

Where did you get this money, Mary? Leave her alone.

She has done a beautiful thing for me.

For you will always have the poor with you.

And whatever you want, you can do good for them.

But you will not always have me.

She has done what she could.

She has anointed my body beforehand for burial.

Burial? Let him finish.

And believe me,

Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be

told in memory of her.

What your follower said is right.

This act was wasteful, immodest, and completely contradicts everything you

said before about the poor and lowly. He said they will always be with us. The

very notion that such a disgrace could be proclaimed throughout the world.

As part of your gospel, where instead it should be reproached, rebuked, and

condemned. It's... I can't be in the same room with this abomination.

Sounds like a personal problem.

I wanted to believe.

I came here to give you a chance and you've ruined it.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

Rabbi, that is not a man we want to upset if we're trying to unite our

people.

For burial?

You are a false prophet!

Dwarf, that is quite a thing to say.

Jesus? Maybe we should leave. Lazarus, you're his friend. You cannot be

involved. You know what the law of Moses says. We are all his friends, Aaron. We

cannot say things like this. Jesus, stand up at once. Rabbi, please.

Rafi, come with Jesus and me. We will leave, and you can all continue the

service. Rabbi Benjamin has asserted false prophecy.

And I cannot argue. You said you saw the miracle. He's saying only he can save

us. He did not use those words.

It's what I meant.

Jesus, you're not helping. Stop.

He's saying we are not the holy ones chosen. Now, he did not say that. In

words. A book of Moses.

But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not

commanded him to speak, that same prophet shall die.

Rabbi Benjamin, I beg of you, not this.

Lazarus, it's fine.

Jesus, they are going to...

Joseph, if you do not renounce your words, we will have no choice but to

follow the law of Moses.

I am the law of Moses.

Jesus bar Joseph.

Because you have repeatedly prophesied falsely, and have offered no denial or

renouncement of your blasphemous claims, there is no need to escalate this to the

authorities.

Do you stand by all that you said?

I think I was pretty clear.

Your father, may he rest in peace, was a righteous man.

Your mother is a good woman.

We take no pleasure in the shame you are bringing to their name, nor the grief

this will bring upon Mary.

But as from the law of Moses, whose life and words you have spat upon today,

your sentence is death.

Rabbi Benjamin.

This isn't going to happen.
