Find him and kill him.

How much better
if we were to
win him back?

He dragged men
across the desert to kill me.

Our Emperor
has departed,

but he has left
a present for Jerusalem,
a statue of his likeness.

Which he commands
to be placed in
the Temple itself.

This is about
the destruction
of the Temple!

We welcome Saul
as our brother in Christ.

You've all lost your minds.

Simon.

This is my fault.

No, Saul!
I have to make it right.

I've heard that
if you want to
meet certain people,

then this is
the place to come.

Enemies of Rome?

So, talk.

- He's here.
- Find him.

Jesus!

Jesus!

As for God,
His way is perfect.

The word of the Lord
is flawless.

Jesus,
what are you doing?

We've been
looking everywhere.

Didn't you know
I would be
in my father's house?

You will always know
where to find me, James.

That's how he is.
That's Saul.

You can't
tell him anything.

No, we should
have stopped him.

I should have.

They'll stone him,
won't they?

Maybe the High Priest
will be lenient.

Not a chance.
Not Caiaphas.

Do you think
they've got Simon, too?

Where else would he be?

They won't kill
them both, will they?

No, because I won't let them.

What do you mean?

I will go to the Temple
and I will beg
for their release.

Move!

Welcome back, Saul.

Look at all these people
united in their faith.

And then there's you.

I understand your anger.

You came to me.

You begged me
to let you attack

these blasphemers
and defend the Temple.

I wanted to impress you.

But now I understand
the truth.

What would your teacher,
Gamaliel,

make of your
new understanding?

What do you
want from me?

You have a chance
right now to confess

to your sins before God,
and turn back.

Come back, Saul.

Come back to the Temple,

and do not betray
those who love you.

You're here,
in the center
of the universe.

How can you leave
and cut yourself off
from God?

This is your faith here,
right here.

I want to forgive you.

They all look
so content.

Of course they do.
They're home.

It does feel like home.

But it isn't.

And you cannot
forgive me.

Only Jesus can do that.

Yes. Very good, Tabitha.

Excellent.

What have I missed?

Tell me.

We've been talking about
washing and sewing and...

And nothing else
whatsoever.

No, you haven't.

Tell me about
the needle.

Jesus said,

"It is easier for..."

"It's easier for a camel
to pass through
the eye of a needle,

"than it is
for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of heaven."

And what about
a rich woman?

Now, say that again.

Isaiah's prophecy
has been completed.

Jesus is our messiah.

He rose from the dead
and I have been
born again in his name.

I have repented
and he has forgiven me.

And my sins are
forever washed away.

So, it seems to me
that there is

no need for
your endless search
for ritual purity,

nor your mikvahs,
nor any of your
temple customs.

No need?

No need for the Temple.

No need for you.

What's happened to you?

What's happened to you?

Would 39 lashes

cure your madness?

How about a month
in a cell

until you see sense?

I could leave you there
to waste away

until you're
completely forgotten.

I'm sure there must be
another plan that doesn't
involve you dying.

Enough hiding.

Yeah, but what if he
throws you in jail, too?

Then you'll preach
and spread the word
as Jesus taught us.

Well, all right, we'll try,
but if you're gone,
who's going to lead us?

'Cause I don't think
Thomas can cope.

James.

It's James!

By this time,
he'd been missing
for three days,

his mother was
beside herself
with worry,

but there he was,
in the Temple,

debating and arguing
with the priests

as though it was
the most natural thing
in the world.

I had that dream.

And I knew then
that I had to be here,
with you.

I've missed you.

What was he like
as a boy?

We all used to play
together as children.

He was just like
the rest of us.

But then you'd
start to notice things.

Like his,

his calmness, his wisdom
even when he was young,
his kindness.

He had something,
something in his eyes.

You know, I loved him.

I loved him very much.

But that was then.

Now, I want to hear about you.
I understand you've
all been imprisoned.

Some of us twice.

And yet still you continue,
making great strides,
I'm sure.

Well, what is it?

We lost two brothers
yesterday.

A new believer, Saul,
was seized by
the Temple guards.

And Simon...

He didn't come back
last night.

I have to go
to the Temple.

To see the High Priest?

Who has
imprisoned you twice?

We've been
trying to tell him.

What if I went?

Thank you,
but it is my burden.

Well, let me
plead for them.

You do not know him.

He will see
the fear in your eyes.

And, forgive my pride,
but I'm also a rabbi,

and that should count
in our favor.

I have left you here
to suffer alone
for too long.

Let me help you.

What is
your business here?

Your business!

He does not
understand you.

And you are?

Chief Treasurer to
the Queen of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia?
It's all right, Centurion.

We left our weapons
at the city gates.

Really?

Search it. Every inch.

Blessed Lord,

I have shut my ears
to your teachings

and ignored
your commandments.

I have closed my eyes
to the suffering of others.

Though I am unworthy,

I ask your forgiveness,
merciful God and...

No!

I have just seen Saul...
I let him go.

He's a madman.

His words will
get him killed.
He's nothing.

You can't do this.
It's done.

And now you look weak.

Let the people know
it was an act of forgiveness

on the eve of Yom Kippur.

But at any other time...

I have spoken!

It's coming in a day,
in a week.

I don't know,
but soon the abomination
will be here,

a statue that heralds
eternal war.

Do you not see that
we need to unite every Jew,

every tiny sect and cult,

and bring them all together
to fight this monstrosity?

Oh, I see.

This is politics, is it?

There is the will of Rome,
the fear it inspires,
and there is us.

We must make them
love more than fear,
or we will all die.

Every word that Saul speaks

is a stain upon
your reputation.

Did you not hear
what I just said?

Did you not just hear me?

You are the High Priest
of the Temple of Jerusalem.

When will you
act like it?

I do.

Every day.

You're simply
too blind to see it.

I'm sorry.
I lost my head.

We were worried.
Where did you go?

There's an inn.
I had a few drinks.

Then a few more.

And then?

And then I woke up
in a horse trough.

We're so glad
to see you.

It's good to be back.

There's nothing
to worry about.
Not with me.

Nothing at all.

And you found
no weapons on him?

None.

And you checked
the sacrifices,
all the baskets?

There was nothing.

Well, maybe
he really has come
to visit the Temple.

It's one of their
holy days tomorrow,
isn't it?

The man's an Ethiopian,
Claudia.

People come from
all over the world
to visit Jerusalem.

Do you know what he'd
have done to himself

to become
the Queen's treasurer

and to assure
everlasting devotion?

He's half the man
he used to be.

Does he know
about the statue?
I didn't...

You didn't ask.
Of course, you couldn't.

I want to see him,
face to face.

A dinner invitation.

And get Herod
and his wife along
so it seems less...

Obvious?

Hmm.

Yes.

You tell this
Ethiopian eunuch

that we would be
honored to entertain

such an important
visitor in our city.

What do you want?

I need something.

You have contacts.

I just make jewelry.

Oh, I doubt that.

You should go.
I can't help you.

I will not be dismissed.

Get out.

It doesn't matter
what you think of me.

I need to see
your people.

And they will not be happy
when they discover
you've denied them

the chance to see me
and all that I can offer.

What is this something?

I'll tell them
when I see them.

You'll tell me
or you'll get
no further.

I want a man killed.

Saul! How on earth?

Did they beat you?

No. No.

So, James got you released?

Who's James?
He...

You were just freed?

I don't know.
I talked to the High Priest,

and he just released me.

Well, isn't that
unbelievably lucky.

Simon.

We were all beaten,
arrested, imprisoned
or stoned.

And this man
just walks free?

What are you
accusing me of, exactly?

Well, it's over.

I'm free.

My name is James,
from Nazareth.

I follow Jesus.

What brings you
to the Temple?

We must all forgive

as we approach
the Day of Atonement,
isn't that right?

Should I forgive you?

I met with
my brothers today.

I had to pretend
I was immune to their
worries and grief,

that I was so much
stronger than I really am

because of you.

What kind of
a high priest are you
to instill such fear?

I must defend the faith.

Well, you do it too well.

And I am here to
ask for the release
of two of my brothers,

Saul of Tarsus
and Simon of Capernaum.

I cannot help you.

Simon was never here,

and Saul
walked free earlier.

What stories have
they been telling you?

We aren't enemies, James.

We both kneel before God
and pray for his blessing.

If this is true,
stop persecuting us.

Yes, I see
why they sent you.

Come.

What if I promised you
sanctuary?

Sanctuary?
Mmm.

A safe place to pray.

An end to persecution.

A chance to make peace
with the Temple.

Why?

Well, as you say,
it's nearly Yom Kippur.

Why else?

Go talk to your friends.
Let them consider my offer.

If they respect the Temple,
then they may pray here.

But not Saul.

Saul?

You are welcome here.

I'm keen to
unite our nation.

But not him.

But what has he done?

You clearly
don't know him.
You'll see.

Thank you for your kindness
in meeting me here.

From the Queen of Ethiopia.

And from a humble believer.

Thank you for your
wonderful generosity.

Please accept in return
these writings
by our Prophet Isaiah.

I will treasure
these words.

Shall we pray?

Prayer would be wonderful.

You will dine today
at the palace
of the Governor of Judaea.

It is not your place

to give orders to
an honored guest
in my temple.

It is fine.

We are used to
the Roman etiquette.

As you wish.

I apologize for that,

especially when it involves
the wife of the High Priest.

But we must be careful.

You have been
asking about murder.

A blasphemer

and an enemy
of the state.

So remove him.

Your husband has the power.

The High Priest is willing
to let this heretic live,
I take it, but not you.

He's a danger to us all.

To me?

I doubt that.

Who is this man?

Saul of Tarsus.

He recently joined
the cult of the Nazarenes.

We have no quarrel
with the Nazarenes.

Oh, well,
let those who mock God
walk in peace.

I had no idea how lax
your convictions had become.

And I would not advise you
to question my faith.

Not here. Not alone.

And not when you so willfully
share your sheets with Rome.

And what will
you do for me?

What do you want?

What are your husband's plans
for the Emperor's statue?

Yes, I know all about it.
What will he do?

I'm not sure.

We all assumed he did
whatever you told him.

I'm just his wife.

I like your answer.

I like the way you swerve
to avoid responsibility,
but you fool no one.

What I want from you,
dear Leah, is blood.

I want the blood
of a thousand Romans,

and you will influence
your husband and the Temple
to give it to me.

How?

When I need you,

you'll know.

No. No. No.

I had a new gown,

a silk one.

Tabitha should have
finished it by now.

He's not here yet,
is he?

No, you have time.
Is everything all right?

My seamstress has not
completed her work.

We have seamstresses.
Follow me.

I'm so happy for you.

I'll take you to the apostles
and have you baptized.

It's wonderful.

You will feel alive, so alive,
like you've never felt before.

Thank you.

Thank you, Joanna,
for leading me to Jesus.

You tried to lure
my other servants to Jesus

after everything
that has happened?

This is my fault.

And I will deal
with you later.

Right now we have
an important guest
to prepare for.

How could you?

Herodias,
she's a child.

This is clearly
the fault of my own servant,

and I will
deal with her.

You may punish your
servant as you wish,

but these girls,
they belong to me.

You are both banished
from my household

and will be gone by morning.

Now get out!

I know what he
has done to you all,

but it felt genuine.

What do we have to do?

Just respect the Temple.

And that's all?
Yes.

We can negotiate
the rest.

We could go outside
without fear.

We could celebrate
festivals and holy days.

Why do we
need the Temple?

Of course,
we want to feel safe,
I don't dispute that,

but now that Jesus has risen,
why bother to go there?

He is here in us,
with us, so why?

So, the Temple is...

Part of the old law,
which has now
been completed.

We are still Jews, Saul.

The Temple is
an important part
of our lives.

We have a message
to preach, James,

but it has nothing to do
with that pile of stones.

You would
just abandon it?

I just want to go out
and spread
the word of Christ.

The Temple is
no longer relevant.

It's not that difficult
to understand.

I must be stupid then.
Simon!

We have this man,
this stranger,

who one minute
wants us all dead.

All this again, Peter?

And then somehow
gets released
by the High Priest

without a scratch on him.

Now, I don't know
what he's doing.

No, you don't,
so you should be quiet
until you do.

I can't believe
any of you trust him.

Simon.
No.

Simon!

Some wine,
while you can.

Your fast begins at sunset,
I believe.

I'm surprised
you pay attention
to such matters.

Oh, the Governor makes
a point of getting involved
in Jewish affairs.

I certainly
won't be following
your obscure customs.

You'll have to forgive me.

On Yom Kippur,
we try to forgive

and make peace
with all our enemies.

Are we enemies?

I thought we were
all friends here.

Isn't that right, Herod?

It's true. We do
manage a certain civility.

Although you Romans
have a habit of making
enemies wherever you go.

All nations are happily
united and at peace
under Roman governance.

One might doubt that,

considering the troubles
you are having here.

Unable to quell
the zealots and Nazarenes?

I have crushed them all.

Oh.

I can only apologize

but I was waiting
on this new gown.

Very nice.

Sadly, I just had to dismiss
one of my seamstresses.

You dismissed
a servant today?

Yes.

You could not
forgive her?

Dismissing her was
an act of forgiveness.

Why? What had she done?

Well, she...

What crime has she committed
under my roof?

No crime in Roman law.
It's nothing.

She was attempting
to join the Nazarene cult.

But I thought you had
crushed them all.

Bring her here.

Yes, Governor.

God be with you.

And with you.

I wanted to ask you
about one of your brethren,

a man called
Saul of Tarsus.

What of him?

He's made some enemies.

It's a special skill
of his.

He has been brought
to our attention.

I need a favor from you.

To do with Saul?

I want you to
bring him to us.

And then?

That is not your concern.

But he's my brother
in Christ.

All you need to think of
are your loyalties

and the promises
you have made to me.

I can't.
There is no...

Think of the Temple.

For pity's sake,
they're women, servants.

They have committed treason
under my roof.

It's hardly treason.

They have humiliated me.

They will be flogged,
in public,

so the whole world,
from Rome to Ethiopia,
shall know.

Do you really think
the Emperor will care
about something

as tawdry as this?

Let's hope he does.

Cornelius, escort them
to our dear guests.

Which one should
I flog first?

Don't be afraid.

Jesus will
give you strength.

Her. Just her.

I have something else
planned for you.

You have brought insurgents
into my palace, Herod.

I had no idea.

You will show approval
for these actions.

You will admire
the power of Rome.

And then, when this is over,
you will take your wife

and get out of my palace.
Do you understand?

As you wish.

I'm sorry you
have to witness this.

All enemies of Rome
are punished and crushed.

None are spared.

For the glory
of our emperor.

I think it's
a mistake to trust her.

She's no more
than a Roman whore.

She has influence.

She will betray us
at the first opportunity,
I know she will.

Possibly, but that's
a risk we have to take.

We have this
one chance, Eva,

one glorious opportunity
to free our city
from Roman rule.

That statue...
I know.

I'm sorry,
but we are murdering a man

who has not sinned
or caused offense.

He is no Roman,
just a loudmouth,
as far as I can tell.

I have to go.

Why don't you go and listen
to this man preach?

See if he really
is as bad as Leah
makes him out to be.

Shalom.

You can't do that.

They were housemaids.

You can't argue
with me like that,

and you can't show
your disapproval in public.

I didn't say a word.

Your face.

Well, I'm sorry
if my performance

wasn't as polished
as you might have liked.

Don't do it again.

What will happen
to the other one?

I don't know.

I haven't worked out
how to make it count.

Make what count?

Her death.

Joanna! My love. My love.

Don't cry.

I am at peace.

Nothing can hurt me now.

You were the best husband.

So, be happy
for what we had.

You can all be born again,
reconciled with God,

freed from
the Temple's tyranny.

There is a new life,
a new freedom,

and it comes from
the love of Jesus Christ.

You must not be
afraid of his message.

Jesus came not to
abolish the law,
but to fulfill it.

All that we have
been taught before

has led us to
this very moment.

What did you think?

Is this what
your cult believes?

Some of it.

He will destroy
your new church
with those words.

I told Levi we should
leave him alone,

concentrate on
our own affairs,

but not now.

He can't threaten
the Temple like that.

It would help us all
if he were gone.

Deliver Saul, alone,
to the inn at sunset.

Once Yom Kippur has finished,
we'll do the rest.

You are with us now.

You are with me.

Yes?

I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

It should have been me.

Yes, it should.

You knew
what would happen.

The fault is mine alone.

Here is some money and herbs
and medicine for her.

Do you have somewhere
you can go?

Yes.

The Governor is busy
with affairs of state.

If you go now,
he will not see you.

And he will not know
of my involvement in this.

Thank you.

What else could I do?

And what of Joanna?

Go now.

I wish you well.

What's happened?

Please don't cry.

Because if God is with us,
who can be against us?

And God is with you, Tabitha.

Nothing can separate you
from the love of Christ,
nothing.

Not life, not death,
nor angels or demons.

No one, no power.

No authority can separate us
from the love of God.

And that love
is Jesus Christ.

She was beaten
on Pilate's orders.

I need to
tell you something.

I lay all
of the nation's sins
upon this goat.

Let him escape
into the wilderness
and take all our sins away!

I'm so sorry.
I don't hate Saul.
It's not like that.

I just wanted to
protect the Temple.

You slipped,
but not that far.

So what do we do?

Do the zealots know
where he's staying?

Then he's
safe here for now.

No. We don't know that.

He is a danger to himself
and therefore
he is a danger to us.

Our belief in Jesus
is the danger.

No, not now that Caiaphas
has offered us peace.

I think that
Saul is the problem.
His views are too radical.

They will pull us apart.
Simon's actions
are proof of this.

You misunderstand
his passion.

We know how the High Priest
feels about him.

He told me so.
And the zealots.

He was chased
out of Damascus.

He risks
all of our lives.

So what do you suggest?

What did they
tell you to do?

I have to take him
to an inn in the lower city

as soon as Yom Kippur ends.

Right, so we have
till the end of the day.

To do what?
He's one of us!

So what on earth
are you planning?

Simon's back,
which obviously means
you're all talking about me.

We wish you
every success.

Ah.

I hear Philip has made
some great progress
in Samaria.

I could do better
right here in Jerusalem.

I think there's
a bigger role for you
beyond Jerusalem, Saul.

Men want you dead.

Oh, I'm not
afraid of death, James.

I'm trying to
drag you all forward,

and no one,
no one will listen.

It's not safe.

And we're scared for you
if you stay here.

That is all.

I see.

So we are all still
brothers, then?

Of course.
Oh.

And we will meet again?

I promise.

Well, then.

I shall risk
your lives no longer.

I will leave now,
teach his message as I go.

Yes, by the time
I get to Tarsus,

I will have
a hundred followers.

You will do more
than any of us.

God be with you all.

If Jerusalem
gets too much,

you're always welcome,

even you, Simon.
