Statues of you
across the Empire.

We will have one
in the Temple.

We should assume
there will be
a full-scale rebellion.

This is about the destruction
of the Temple!

Thank you, Joanna,
for leading me to Jesus.

Tabitha?

All enemies of Rome...

...are punished and crushed.

And you are?

Chief Treasurer to
the Queen of Ethiopia.

You tell this Ethiopian
that we would be honored

to entertain such
an important visitor.

Soon, the abomination
will be here,

a statue that heralds
eternal war.

Do you not see
that we need to unite
to fight this monstrosity?

We aren't enemies, James.

If this is true,
stop persecuting us.

This could be the end.

This Temple is not
just bricks and mortar
built by the hands of men.

It is the house of
God on Earth, His home,

the holy of holies,

and it's under threat.

Within days a statue
of the Roman Emperor
will arrive in Jerusalem.

He demands it be placed
inside the Temple.

And that
we should worship it.

Here. Come.

Put it here.

If God's house is defiled
by this abomination,

He will remove himself,

He will leave the Temple
and He will leave us!

Our crops will rot and fail.

Famine and plague
will dance upon the land.

Our children will starve.

Our enemies will delight
in our weakness,

and we shall be helpless
to oppose them.

We cannot allow it!

We will not allow it!

Don't stop, don't stop!
Don't give them
a reason to look.

Please, help yourself.

They're good, huh?

That is why
I speak to you now.

We must come together
to protect the Temple.

Every sect, every creed,
every town, every region.

We must set aside
our differences.

Now is the time for
brotherhood and unity.

To let a hundred thousand
speak with one voice.

We stand with you,
High Priest.

Go to your people.

Call them to stand
with the Temple.

There are rumors
that the statue is made
of pure gold.

Clearly there are no limits
to this Emperor's vanity.

We should be grateful.

His arrogance
will enrage the city

and bring thousands more
to the cause.

It is fortunate that
I am here and able to help.

Not just chance.

It is God's will.

We are ordained to succeed.

Yes, I believe we are.

And my Queen will
be thrilled when she
learns what I have done.

Our victory
will be celebrated,
not just in Ethiopia.

We'll give
the rest of the world
confidence to fight back.

We are lighting a fire
that will burn
Rome to cinders.

You've done enough.

The widows will
collect these later.

They asked me to thank you
for your charity.

But I'm not finished.

Your wounds are too raw,
Tabitha.

You're losing
too much blood.
You must rest.

I feel much better.

And this makes me feel
that I'm contributing.

Please, rest.

I enjoy it.

I have my sewing

and the men have
their very long

and very important
conversations.

They were all on their feet
cheering the High Priest.

And as I listened
to him, I...

Well, forgive me,
but I couldn't help

but imagine it was
myself in his place,

but I was talking
about Jesus Christ.

Can you see what that could
be like for all of us?

Imagine, being able
to speak His name
without fear.

Yes, yes,
and more than that.

Imagine being
able to influence
the Sanhedrin from within.

No more hiding in the dark,
no more whispering His name.

Well, what do you say? Hmm?

And you really think
Caiaphas is going to
give you all this?

Yes.
And what will
he want in return?

Well, we will negotiate,
you and I.

Not me. Not with the man
that killed Jesus.

Peter, this is our chance
to take the church
of Jesus forward.

No, no,
I have to keep you all safe,
away from him.

We don't need the Temple.
Let me at least speak to him.

I am no novice.
I will press him hard.

I will not deny
our Lord again!

Hey, you,
Roman pigs, stop!

Ho-ho-ho-ho.

They're just boys.
Move on.

My brothers!

My brothers.

You have come
because you know
that God calls upon you

to defend His Temple
against this abomination.

We will unleash
a righteous wave

that will cleanse the Temple
of its corrupt priesthood

and wash every last trace
of Rome from our lands!

Ethiopia has given us weapons

and the means to make our own.

We have the implements
to cut out this
Roman infection.

But we need pious hands
to put them into,

your hands.

So, are you with us?

I see Caiaphas has sent
his little rodent to spy.

No. I've been sent
with a message.

The High Priest
extends an invitation

to discuss how
we proceed together.

Liar. Take him away.

I'd like to increase
the number of patrols
around Jerusalem.

Putting men on the streets
is an act of provocation.

We're a holding force,
not an army.

More men will
help hide this fact.

Very well.

Double the number
of patrols.

We'll get through this.

We always do.

This miserable city.

Look at you.

You haven't
touched your food.

The centurion's
worries don't help.

Is there anything I can do?
Name it and it's done.

Perhaps there
is something.

The Nazarene woman,
Joanna, release her.

What is your interest
in this woman?

Only one of empathy.

Empathy breeds weakness,
Claudia.

And we are not weak.

I don't see how
my showing concern...

You are not weak.

Do you understand me?

I've upset you.

No. Your words
make a lot of sense.

But I've been too bold.
You, you're the rock.

Your concern for
our safety is...

James, please,
you've done nothing wrong,

except speak
better than I can.

I mean, we could not hope
for anyone better
to fight our cause.

I only want an end
to the persecution.

But I cannot forget
what that man did to Jesus.

When Jesus
was on the cross,

when the pain was so great

that his body would
contort and shake,

he cried out,

"Father, forgive them,
for they know
not what they do."

If he asks it of God,
then he asks it of us, too.

Yes, of course.

James will talk
to the High Priest,

and we will finally see an end
to our persecution.

Let's go together.

No, my presence
won't help.

Then, tell me what
terms you'll accept.

I have faith
in your judgment,

and God will guide you.

But I must leave Jerusalem.

Well, where are
you going?

Out there

to preach.

High Priest,
I must remind you
of your own pledge,

an end to the persecution
and arrest of those
who follow Jesus.

It must stop immediately.

You're setting conditions,
for me?

Very well.
I end it now.

Thank you.

It must surely
follow that we be free
to preach openly.

There are limits
to what's acceptable.

The Romans are
a very literal people.

They take any mention
of kings at face value
and call it sedition.

Saying Jesus is a king
endangers the Temple.

Then, we'll be cautious.

And you'll refrain from saying
He is the Messiah.

But that is the truth.

Your truth
will offend many,

and I may not be able
to protect you.

We wish to sit in the Temple
and win respect,
not offend anyone,

but we will not be censored.

He is the Messiah.

You're not shy in
your requests, are you?

He is the son of God.

He is resurrected
and He will return.

Well, if you will
not be persuaded otherwise.

I won't.

Then let it be so.

I trust you will
remember my generosity
in the days to come.

Success.

We're allowed back?

We are.

Come in, come.

Alms.
Alms for the poor.
Thank you.

Tabitha? Somebody help me.

We need to get her
back to the house.

I'm sorry, Mary.
I should have listened to you.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Mary, take me home?
To my family?

To Joppa.

Please, I have to
see them again before I die.

I'm not sure
you'll get that far.

We have to.

Then let's hurry up.
I'll help you take her.

No. I must do it.
This is my fault.

Because of me,
they're going to
execute Joanna.

I can't lose Tabitha, too.

Master Warden.

Is it horrible, Joanna?

It's God's will.

I trust in him.

Please, I, um...
You need to eat to
keep your strength up.

Thank you.

Has your husband decided
when it will be done?

He doesn't get to
decide everything.

Stop there.

Roman pigs.

Relax.
Besides, they are looking
in the wrong carts.

Have you seen how they've
increased their numbers?

It's only natural.
They feel threatened.

Sit.

What do you want?

Levi sent me.

He's concerned you're too...

Visible.

Why?

Do I not blend in?

Still, there is no sense
in drawing attention
to yourself,

here of all places.

Let me explain
something to you.

I am a visiting dignitary,
here to be seen.

I have nothing to hide,
no hidden agenda,

but the moment
I disappear from view,

then I draw
attention to myself.

They begin
to ask questions.

So, when I am visible,
I am untouchable.

Now, let us consider
your responsibilities,
shall we?

The Temple spy
could make my life
very uncomfortable.

Do I have
your assurance

that he will not
be a problem?

Out here,
for the vultures?

Then let me make
my peace with God.

Hear, Israel,
the Lord is our God.

Enough!

Blessed be the name
of His glorious kingdom
forever and ever.

Enough, I said!

You shall love
the Lord your God
with all your heart.

High Priest!

Bring my physician!

Sit. That's it.

Things are far worse
than we imagined.

Will he live?
Mmm.

And he's certain
of what he saw?
Ethiopian weapons?

The zealots have the will,
and now they have the means.

They will turn
this crisis into war.

I knew that they'd try,
but I never thought
they'd be able.

We must go to Pilate.

Tell him about their plans.
Let him deal with it.

We can't.
We'll be damned
as collaborators.

In their eyes we already
are collaborators.

The zealots want us dead,
can't you see?

So I control them.

It's too late.
They already
have weapons.

And this revolt
will never succeed,

Rome will crush it,
and crush us with it.

And you know that.

Go to Pilate.
Save the city from
a Roman massacre.

Are you suggesting
that we open the doors

and allow the Temple
to be defiled?

God will leave the Temple
for a time, yes,

and we will suffer
in his absence,

but He will hear
our prayers
and, in time,

the Temple will be cleansed
and God will return.

No. Never.

Never!

I refuse to be the High Priest
who allowed God to abandon us.

Never!

The future of
Judea is uncertain,
but I bring you God's message.

Salvation will be found
in the name of Jesus Christ.

Philip?

Philip.

What brings you here?

I thought you'd
be in Jerusalem.

I was coming back
to be with you all.

You've been doing so well,

your work in Samaria.

Many more
have come to Jesus.

But how can I
ignore Jerusalem?

It's our home,
the center of everything.

Jesus told us to
spread his word
to the ends of the Earth.

Your work is vital.

So, what should I do now?

Go to the south,

to the desert road
that leads from
Jerusalem to Gaza.

We should go.
Right now!

Go where?

The Gaza road.

What are you talking about?

You didn't see the angel.

Go! Do as
the angel commanded,

and I'll press on
towards Joppa.

You're home now, Tabitha.

I'm not ready to die.

My daughter.

Mother.

She's injured. It's her back.

I must speak to Pilate.

To what purpose?

You asked me
for my help.

I have information
that will prevent
a massacre.

And why the secrecy?

If you want my help...

Because I must
betray both, those I hate,

and those that I love.

I think you
need to hear what
she has to say.

The zealots have formed
an alliance with Ethiopia.

They are armed

and are using
Caligula's statue
as a catalyst.

They plan to launch
a huge uprising

against Rome.

Out of the way!

- Move!
- Stand aside!

You there, check the stairs!

We are betrayed! Quick!

Forget
the Ethiopian's weapons.
We still have our own.

Open up!

Check the rooftop!

We missed them!
Check there!

Halt.

Come with me.

To what end?
What is this nonsense?

I am my Queen's
Chief Treasurer.

Any harm to me
would be an act of war.

Importing weapons
is an act of war.

Possibly.

But you are in no position
to provoke Ethiopia.

You have no regard
for your tongue.

I just want to remind you
that your new Emperor

doesn't seem to care
for this region.

You are out here
on your own.

So, your queen would risk
an attack on the Empire,
would she?

She would relish
the opportunity.

I don't think she would.

I don't think she even knows
about this, does she?

You've overstepped the mark.

She trusts me implicitly.

And so her
disappointment in you
will be all the greater.

Bring his things.

Diplomacy does, indeed,
prevent me from killing you,

but I shall write
to your queen.

I imagine you will
never be able to return
to Ethiopia again.

And after you'd
given up so much for her.

Your men shall remain here
as slaves to their superiors.

Pick it up.

What is this?

It is a gift from
the High Priest, Caiaphas.

You may keep it,
as a reminder of
your foolishness.

Remove this creature
from my city.

These are days that
test our faith to the limit,

where we feel injustice
and outrage
churning in our hearts.

Rome fills our streets
with soldiers.

We still have weapons,
and God still favors us,
you told me so.

Yes, you're right.
Our cause is just.
But I won't forget this.

Rome threatens
our Temple,

throws a shadow of fear
over our city,

but you will find
light and salvation

in the name of Jesus Christ.

Fine words,
but words won't
protect the Temple.

I told you,
I'm loyal to the cause.

And when
the Romans charge us

will you still be loyal then,
with a sword in your hand?

...for the continued
peace of the region.

What are you doing?

I am composing
an amusing little note

to our dear friend,
the great Queen of Ethiopia.

You did well today,
Claudia.

Thank you.

Having brought Leah to you,
and her information,

I was wondering if perhaps,
as a favor in kind,

you might consider
releasing the Nazarene woman.

Firstly, this revolt
is still very much alive.

And second,

you bring information to me
as a matter of course,

because you are my wife,
it is your duty.

But that's...

I would hate to think
that you only
brought Leah to me

because you thought
you might exploit
the opportunity.

I did what was right
to prevent war.

And you have a duty,
as my husband,

to listen to my advice.

She will be
put to death, Claudia.

She has to be.
And that's the end of it.

Read it back to me.

Joanna. Come with me.
It's time to go.

What are you doing?
Come.

Open the door.

You know who I am,
don't you?

Open the door.

And if you don't,
you'll have to explain
why not to my husband.

Your interest in
this woman is unnatural.

What has she
done to you?

She's done nothing.

She preys upon others
and twists their minds.

She poisoned the ear
of that young seamstress,

and now she's
doing the same to you.

No.

I just believe it is wrong
that she should suffer.

And so you would betray me
for a stranger.

What spell has
she cast upon you?

Why would you
want to shame me
with her escape?

Very well...

You shall have your wish.

You may choose to
set her free now...

By strangulation...

Or let her go to the cross.

Look at her.
She's already
halfway there.

All it takes is
a little squeeze.

You're a monster.

You think you are trying
to save her from me.

But I'm trying
to save you.

Don't make me choose.

I will choose.

Very well.

Cornelius.

In the name of Christ,
I forgive you.

This ends here.

Do you understand?

Prepare.

Begin.

"He was led like a sheep
to the slaughter.

"As a lamb before
his shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

"In his humiliation,
he was deprived of justice.

"Who shall speak
of his descendants?

"For his life was
taken from the Earth."

You look to have fallen
on hard times, friend.

Indeed.

And I have fallen hard.

Do you need help?

I've repaired a few wheels
in my time.

Thank you. Please.

The passage you
were reading just now
from Isaiah...

Does it
bring you comfort?

I had hoped it would,
but I am struggling
to understand it.

Does the prophet
speak of himself,
or of someone else?

He's talking of a man
who knew great suffering
and humiliation.

A man
who taught us that...

Through faith we will find
salvation in Him.

Who is this man?

He is Jesus Christ.

The son of God.

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

Look,
water in the desert.

No one can stop me
being baptized

and taking the word of Jesus
to the corners of the world!

Do you repent
your sins?

I do. I do.

I have looked past God.

I have been proud
and I have been conceited.

I have been an ambassador
for violence and hate.

That is passed.

What matters is
who you now choose to be.

Are you ready?

Do you believe
in Jesus Christ,
the son of God,

who died on the cross
and rose again
on the third day?

I do.

Then in the name
of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit,

I baptize you.

Then it is true!

For wide is the gate
and broad is the road
that leads to destruction,

and many enter through it.

Small is the gate
and narrow the road
that leads to life.

And only a few find it.

Mary?

I promised Tabitha
I wouldn't let her die.

I thought my faith
would be enough.

She was so sweet
and so happy to
have found Jesus.

I'm responsible
for her death.

You are not responsible.

It is God's will.

Will you come and see her?

Don't be afraid.

This is Peter,
the man I told you about.

What did you tell them
about me, Mary?

I told them the truth.

And why have you
brought me here?

Because I believe
you can help her.

Yes!

Tabitha!

Tabitha!

Get up!

Get up!

Yes!

Yes!

Peter.

Peter, thank you.
