- What is this?
What is this?

No, no,
I asked for eight.

Because you don't know
how to count!

I asked for eight,
I got six!

That is not
acceptable!

- Move!

Unh!
Please!

Last time we had
the same problem.

I asked you
for eight.

No, no,
you take this back,

and you bring me eight
like I asked.

[fire crackling]

No, eight!

Fire!!!

- No Lord but God.

[sighs]

[applause]

- You ruined
one of my carts.

- It did get
his attention, Rabbi.

- You're very resourceful,
Simon.

That's it for today,
Zealots.

Come on, Simon,
let's eat.

ATTICUS:
Murder training.

Real subtle.

I'll be seeing you
real soon, Simon.

RABBI: He is as inventive
as he is dedicated.

I've overseen Simon's training
for the last three years.

He has never failed me.

Now, he's never had
an assignment like this before.

A Roman Magistrate
on the streets of Jerusalem.

But he will have
at least two escorts.

- Every breath
this Roman takes is theft.

Every garment he deigns
for this so-called High Priest,

stained.

- Caiphas
has resisted--

- His resistance
is a show.

The Romans, however,
do not know that.

The Magistrate's
mysterious death

will cast suspicion
upon Caiphas,

resulting
in his arrest.

- Simon is up
to the task.

- Send him
to me.

- I've never been
to Jerusalem.

- Really?

How is that
possible?

- My Father never took me
and my mother to the Feasts.

- This is your first
Feast of the Tabernacles?

- No, this is just
my first time in Jerusalem.

- A tabernacle
is a temporary dwelling.

- It's a tent.

- I know what
a tabernacle is.

So what, do we have to
build one to eat?

THADDEUS:
Mm-hmm.

- I was being
facetious.

- God said to live in a booth
for seven days

during this feast.

To commemorate how
the children of Israel

lived in temporary shelters
for 40 years in the desert.

- We still are.

BIG JAMES: One of three
pilgrimage holidays

when every able-bodied
Israelite male

would travel
to Jerusalem

and present himself
before Adonai.

You really don't know
about any of this stuff?

- I've already admitted
I don't know all of it,

I didn't pay
much attention.

I do recall my father used
to leave three times a year.

- Why is it only the men
required to go?

- It can be
a perilous journey.

Difficult for children
and the sick--

people that need
caretakers,

but it doesn't
prohibit anyone.

I've taken Eden
many times.

Ow!

Sharp.

All right, I need some bodies
to go into town with me.

Nathaniel gave me
a list of supplies

for this masterpiece
of his.

- Mmm...
pick me.

Pick me, Simon.

- As long as you stop
doing that.

[door opens and closes]

- Enter.

Please.

To whom do you serve?

- El Shaddai,
God of power and might.

God of War.

- What is your name?

- Simon, Son of Zebulon,
Son of Akiva of Ashkelona.

- For what
were you born?

- To cleanse Israel
of her enemies.

To expel all non-Jews
from Jerusalem

as the Scriptures
demand.

- Which Scriptures?

From the scroll of Moses,
Shemot,

"Whoever sacrifices
to any god,

"other than
the Lord alone,

shall be devoted
to destruction."

- You will travel
to Jerusalem

for the
Feast of Tabernacles.

- With the Order?

- Two days prior.

You will leave first thing
in the morning.

In Jerusalem, you will
assassinate an enemy of God.

- The Roman Magistrate...
Rufus.

- You will be met
by your brother in the city.

- My brother?

- A Jerusalem Zealot
and his team.

They have been
tracking Rufus.

Once you are briefed
on the Roman's movements,

you will lead the team.

- Yes, master.

- Carry out your orders,
Simon of Zebulon,

or never return.

TRAINEES:
The Lord is in your midst.

You shall never again
fear evil.

On that day,
it shall be said to Jerusalem:

"Fear not, O Zion;
let not your hands grow weak.

"The Lord your God
is in your midst,

"the mighty one
who will save.

He will rejoice over you
with gladness..."

- Zephaniah.

TRAINEES: "He will exalt
over you with loud singing.

I will gather
those of you..."

[market sounds]

YANNI:
It doesn't matter.

Any kind of crate
or-or pallet.

A stone would work.

[items crash]

- A stone,
Yanni?

This is
a public teaching?!

- I picked this market
specifically

because it serves
so many poor.

They're hungry for the words
of a teacher...

and they're probably
afraid of you.

- Afraid?
Of what?

- It's the Holy City.

You're a Pharisee.

Just relax.

Let us pray.

"Blessed are You, Lord our God,
King of the Universe,

Who bestows good things
upon the unworthy--"

- The Birkat Hagomel?

But that's the blessing for
life-threatening situations.

- You'll be fine.

This the first step
to gaining a following.

And once you have,

your message will have even
greater weight in the Temple...

for both of us.

Good luck.

- You're leaving?!

- These people are
hungry for the Word.

I'm hungry
for breakfast.

The Ha'tov ve'hametiv?

[talking over each other]
"Blessed are You,

"Lord, our God,
King of the Universe,

who is good
and does... good."

SHMUEL: Often, we think

- This guy is
so irritating to me.

- Makes sense.

You're kind of

All numbers and logic.

Except he can't
tell jokes.

- Guys!

- We should see

- That Pharisee

We should go.

- You guys are both actually

Look,

The Pharisee doesn't
know our faces.

If we see the others
we'll head them off, hmm?

SHMUEL: Tomorrow night begins
the Feast of Tabernacles.

Over one million Jews
are flooding into our city

at this very moment,
from every corner of Israel.

All to observe
the Feast, yes,

but some may bring
with them an agenda.

Some false teachers may
seize upon the large crowds

We've got a map
of every street he walks...

every spot he goes.

We've tracked his movements
for two months.

ITHRAN: Near the end
of every Shabbat,

at the start of the first day,
Motzi Shabbat,

he goes to his
favorite restaurant

in the Upper City,
the Valerian.

- And there are
no other patterns,

no other places
he goes consistently?

- To the Praetorium
every day, of course,

but it's heavily guarded
on all sides.

The restaurant
is utterly exposed.

- He always has a guard,

and on the off hours
when he is with his wife, two.

- This Yom Rishon tradition
is a problem.

If the streets are empty
for Shabbat,

it will be harder
to create a diversion.

It will be a challenge
to get into position

as Shabbat
is ending.

- The Roman is smart
to choose Shabbat.

- Of course.

Never underestimate

- We--we have an ally
with a shop on the square.

We could store
our weapons there

and be ready as soon
as Shabbat ends.

- Excellent.

I need a cart

MATTHEW: With all
due respect, Nathanael,

I know you are
a skilled architect,

but this thatched roof
won't keep the rain out.

LITTLE JAMES: Well,
that's the point.

The vegetation provides shade
from the sun during the day.

MARY MOTHER: And if
a few rain drops get through,

it is a reminder of
our dependence on God,

of His provision,

and of how our people

were so vulnerable
in the wilderness,

and He brought us
through.

MARY MAGDALENE:
There was a time in my life--

in my old life--

where I had to sleep
outside.

It is a good reminder

of how I was delivered
from that.

- This time of
dwelling in booths

is also a leveler
of people.

Wealthy, poor...
everyone sleeps outside...

as equals.

- But let's be honest--

not all booths
are created equal.

- Yes,
Nathanael.

The beauty of this booth
is itself an act of worship.

BIG JAMES:
Rabbi,

I have a question.

- Yes.

BIG JAMES: In the prophet
Zechariah it is written,

"Then everyone
who has survived,

"of all the nations that
have attacked Jerusalem

"shall go up year after year
to worship the King,

"the Lord of hosts,

and to celebrate
the Feast of Tabernacles."

- Wait, what?

- Zechariah says that?

- They read that passage
at the Feast every year,

you just don't
pay attention.

- Well, there's
a lot of readings,

they sort of
run together.

- What exactly is
your question, Big James?

- One day our enemies
will celebrate this Feast?

With us?

Babylonians?

Assyrians?

BIG JAMES and JOHN:
The Romans?!

Jews and Gentile,
at this table?

What would have to happen
for that to be possible?

- Something
will have to change.

- But the booths
won't mean anything to them.

- We're the ones who dwelt
in temporary shelters

while we wandered
the wilderness,

not them.

- Everyone has wandered
through the wilderness

at some point.

- If all the nations came
to celebrate in Jerusalem,

there will not be
enough room, not by...

I will not bore you
with the calculations.

- I think it will not be
Jerusalem as we know it now.

THOMAS:
Certainly not.

RAMAH: But if Zechariah
prophesied it,

it will be fulfilled,
right?

- It just...

MARY MOTHER:

raising the alarm
about...

false prophecy.

- He means you,
Rabbi.

- You sure?

- Yes, well,

- I'm joking,

So, Shmuel is in Jerusalem
talking about Me.

That's even better.

- Better?

- I think I'm going

inside the city walls
tomorrow.

You may come
if you'd like.

I enjoy the company.

And bring Matthew,
it will be good for him.

LEVITE: "He will
quiet you by his love;

"He will exult over you
with loud singing.

"I will gather those of you
who mourn for the festival.

"So that you will no longer
suffer reproach.

"Behold,

"at that time, I will deal
with all your oppressors.

"And I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,

"and I will change their shame
into praise and renown

in all the earth."

The Bethesda Pool.

JOHN:
Really?

JESUS:
Here we go again.

SIMON: It gets stranger

doesn't it?

I love it.

MATTHEW:
Why is it strange?

- Because the history
of the pool is pagan.

I don't know much
of the details,

James usually knows
that stuff more, but--

- The pools
used to be a shrine

to the Phoenician god
Ephim, um, Ash--

- Eshmun.

- Eshmun,
right, right.

and then
the Greeks and Romans

turned it into
a place of worship,

for a healing cult
of Asclepius.

- Very good,
Simon.

JOHN: How do you
know this stuff?

SIMON: James isn't
the only one who reads,

John,

JOHN: I do know about
the pools, though.

Every day the water
steams and bubbles,

and some people believe that
it's stirred up by an angel

who heals
the first person

who gets to
the stirred water.

MATTHEW:
I've read about this,

that there are places
on earth

where hot vapor

steams up from the ground
intermittently,

or makes water boil,
and no one knows how.

SIMON: Ah,
I wouldn't say no one...

Is that why

make this about Shabbat?

- --He said to me,
"Take up your bed and walk."

YANNI:
Who did?

Who told you that?

JESSE:
He did.

I don't know,
He didn't tell me His name.

- No,
of course not.

He performs
a magic trick

and tells you
to commit a sin.

A false prophet.

This will be reported.

- Report whatever
you want!

I am standing
on two legs!

[laughing]

I'm sorry, I need
to go find my brother.

HONI: You think
I am a fool?!

You think I don't know
the difference

between gold and brass?

I curse you, your family,
your children...

and your
children's children!

And when they have children,
I curse them too!

You are imbecile,
huh?

Scam artist!

I will destroy you

and your family

That was great!

Thank you for
letting me see that!

- Thank you
for being with Me.

JOHN: Well, the Pharisees
were pretty upset.

SIMON: That was almost
as much fun to watch

as the miracle.

- This week
should be fun, huh?

- I do have a question,
Rabbi.

- Yes, Matthew.
