Previously on the Bible...
Great heroes have forged the jewish nation in faith.
Noah saved life on earth from the flood.
God warned me. He told me to build a boat.
Abraham became the father of God's nation.
Abraham!
Moses freed the people from egyptian slavery.
Lord!
Follow me!
Then... he delivered God's laws.
We have new laws preparing us for the promised land.
The great king David united the Israelites.
Israel!
...and won the city of Jerusalem.
But surrounded by superpowers, Israel's survival is a constant struggle.
Then Rome conquered the promised land.
People longed for a new King David... a Savior.
Some believed it was John the Baptist.
As you are cleansed, so all Israel shall be cleansed.
People are flocking to this wild man, John.
They think he's a prophet.
I am just a voice in the wilderness,
Preparing the way for the...
...Lord.
Baptize me!
'he will bring a new age of righteousness and justice.
'his power will draw all men to a new world.'
All people!
Jesus has started to gather disciples who give up everything to follow him.
Come with me, Peter.
Give up catching fish and I will make you a fisher of men.
Now they're on the collision course with the temple authorities
who fear any dissent.
I've had reports of a young prophet... a Jesus of Nazareth.
And the Romans, who won't tolerate it.
It's time you understood what your masters do for you.
- What are we going to do? - Change the world.

In the poor backwater of Galilee, revolution is coming.
For generations, the people of Israel have been guided
By the Pharisees, guardians of the jewish faith.
You should untiringly keep the commandments
of the Lord your God and his statutes...
The Pharisees believe the well-being of the nation
depends on strictly observing the laws god gave to Moses.
They are loved and admired by the people.
You should do what is right and what is good
In sight of the Lord.
have you seen him? Over there!
But Jesus offers a new way...
So the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes...
It's Jesus!
This way, John. Keep everyone moving.
How shall we picture the kingdom of God?
It is like a mustard seed...
...which a man took and sowed in his field,
the smallest seed in the world.
Yet when planted...
...it grows up...
...and becomes the biggest of all plants.
It becomes a tree where birds can come and make their nests.
he's paralyzed.
Your sins are forgiven, my son.
Did you hear that?
He has forgiven his sins.
I thought only God could do that?
Isn't that blasphemy?
He knows. It is blasphemy.
Is that your wish, my friend?
Well, answer me.
Tell me which is easier...
...to say his sins are forgiven,
or say...
Get up and walk?
Wait...
The son of man has authority to forgive sin.
Friends!
What is this about?
Not even Moses himself would've thought he could forgive sin.
You heard what our teacher said.
On what authority does he think he can do this?
On his authority.
That is blasphemy.
Only god can forgive sin.
And your friend could be stoned for a false claim like this.
This is just the beginning.
Let's go.
With a growing number of disciples,
Jesus moves from town to town,
Teaching about god's kingdom and working miracles.
unclean, unclean. he's a leper!
get away from him!
Please, please...
don't touch him!
I'm clean, I'm clean. I'm clean!
Jesus is a savior to some...
look what he's done!
...But a potential threat to rome.
The new roman governor is pontius pilate,
An ex-soldier turned ruthless politician.
halt! What's going on?
You're in the way! The governor needs to pass.
Pilate won't wait!
Will it be much longer?
Very soon, my love.
- prefect... - What's the delay this time?
It's a broken cart, sir.
What are you waiting for? Get it off the road!
let's get it moved! Move it!
Rebellion simmers amongst pilate's jewish subjects,
But he allows nothing to disrupt roman rule...
...Or roman taxes.
all taxes must be paid in full!
We're all jews. How can they live with themselves?
Our own people working for rome? It makes me sick.
Collaborators. Let's move on.
They're stinking vermin.
You should keep your distance from them.
Two men...
...Went to the temple to pray.
One a pharisee...
...And the other one a tax collector.
The pharisee prayed: "god...
"I thank you that I'm not like other men,
"thieves, adulterers...
"...Or this tax collector.
But the tax collector didn't even look up to heaven.
He said: "god...
"...Have mercy on me,
"I'm a sinner."
God blessed the tax collector...
...Not the pharisee.
Anyone who praises himself will be humbled,
And anyone who humbles himself will be praised.
Matthew...Come.
See, now he even calls the sinners to follow him!
One has to wonder of the sins committed
By his other followers.
Tax collectors!
There's not a thread of good in any of them.
Thomas, jesus has not come for the good, but for the sinners.
He gives people a second chance. We should too.
'blessed are the poor,
'for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
'blessed are the meek,
'for they shall inherit the earth.'
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see god.
Pray to him and he will listen.
And how should we pray?
Like this...
Our father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
stone her! She's a whore!
you know what it says in the scriptures.
- Here! - adulteress!
The law commands us to stone such a woman.
What do you say?
It's a trap.
I'll give my stone to the first man who tells me
That he has never sinned.
Thank you, thank you.
Go, and sin no more.
This cannot continue.
He ridicules our laws,
Insults the traditions of our fathers.
Everything that we have fought so hard for,
Our faith,
Our communities,
Everything god has given.
- Caiaphas! - Nicodemus.
I've had reports of a young prophet, a jesus of nazareth.
He has a big following in galilee.
It's rumored he'll come to jerusalem.
Galilee?
- He works miracles. - They all do.
Nicodemus, don't worry,
Nothing important ever came from galilee!
jesus! Jesus!
This looks like a quiet place.
- Lock it off. - Rabbi, let me help you.
There are thousands of them.
They've come a long way. It's late.
They say they're hungry.
Give them some food.
But how? We have nothing. Just a few fish and come bread.
Bring them to me.
Thank you, father, for what you bring us.
Our father in heaven
Feeds the birds of the air.
How much more will he give to you?
Don't worry about daily needs, god will provide.
Put god first and everything else will follow.
If you hunger for righteousness,
You will be filled through me.
He said ask...
...And it will be given.
From god.
It's from god!
Messiah! Messiah!
messiah! Messiah!
They want you to be their king. King of the jews!
You can lead us like an army.
We are strong enough to beat the romans!
No, this is not the way.
Not by force.
where is he going? What's wrong?
Five thousand came to see him.
Five thousand.
Now they shout, "messiah."
The people today, they called you "king",
They think you are a messiah.
But you seemed to ignore them.
Aren't you going to be our king?
Who do you think I am?
You are the son of god.
You can't have known this by what you know of me, peter.
It has been revealed to you by god.
You are peter,
And on this rock I will build my church.
Tomorrow I'll meet you on the other shore.
Why did he walk away just when we're getting strong?
Surely a messiah wouldn't leave us like this.
A messiah should be a warrior, a conqueror like david.
Judas! Force is not the way.
So tell me what the way of the messiah is?
He's different.
But mary, what if he's not the one?
We're risking our lives, for what?
He has shown us his power. We must have faith in him.
- Come on. - He'll not fail us.
He said he'd meet us on the other side. Let's go!
Bring the sail down!
Tie everything down!
This is too dangerous!
We should turn back while we still can.
You heard what he said, he wants us to cross.
What is that?
It's a ghost!
No, thomas.
It's jesus.
He is the messiah!
peter...
Peter, what are you doing?
Don't be afraid.
Come.
Peter!
No!
'peter...
'you of little faith.
'why did you doubt?
'you need to be strong.'
Mary! He's here!
- Who? - Jesus! He's back at last.
Ever since the angel gabriel came to jesus' mother,
She's known her son's true purpose.
It's time for others to learn.
In the synagogue, jesus reads
From one of the most popular scriptures of the time,
A prophecy describing the coming of the messiah.
"the spirit of the lord is upon me,
"because he has anointed me
"to preach good news to the poor.
"he has sent me to declare freedom for the captives
"and recovery of sight for the blind,
"to set free those who are oppressed."
Today...
...This scripture is fulfilled.
What are you saying?
That you have achieved all this?
That you are the messiah, the chosen one sent by god?
No!
I'm saying you must accept god's word.
How dare you? That is sacrilege.
He has never studied the law. This man knows nothing!
His healing is the work of demons!
It has begun.
he undermines our faith!
- He recruits adulterers... - peter!
Turn the other cheek.
You'll pay the price for this!
Like your friend, john the baptist!
You haven't heard, have you?
He was executed.
Beheaded!
- He was a good man. - Yes, and now he's dead.
'baptize me.'
John was the greatest teacher I ever knew.
He was more than a prophet.
Our work goes on.
Soon we go to jerusalem.
Jerusalem?
- It's too soon. - It's too dangerous.
We're not ready.
Judas, why are we all here?
To take the easy path?
We must take the message to jerusalem.
Right to the heart of power.
Prefect, you're needed. There's trouble.
Roman scum! Roman thieves! Let's show them!
Roman thieves!
make way for the high priest!
Make way for the high priest!
Malchus! Malchus what's happening.
It's another protest, high priest.
We need to get you out of here, it's turning into a riot.
Get the master back to his residence. Quick as you can!
- What is all this about? - The aqueduct.
The people are furious that the romans used our temple funds
To build it.
Hundreds are heading to complain to pilate.
He'll have them cut down before they can get anywhere near him.
He said he'd listen to their grievances.
It's a trap, nicodemus! Can't you see that?
thieves! Scum!
Thieving scum!
Jerusalem needs water. You think your god brings it?
No, he does not.
Rome does.
It's time you understood what your masters do for you!
pilate's keeping us in our place.
Imagine what he could do at passover.
Martha, what's wrong?
My brother is dead.
You're too late.
Show me the tomb.
How long has he been dead?
He's been there four days.
Lazarus...
I am the resurrection...
...And the life.
Anyone who believes in me...
...Even if he dies...
...He will still have life.
Lazarus!
Whoever believes in me shall never die.
Believe in me and you will see the glory of god.
Caiaphas!
They say this jesus has raised a man from the dead.
What?
He will be here in jerusalem for passover.
No?
But if he comes with thousands of supporters,
The city will already be breaking at the seams
With those arriving for the festival.
Nicodemus, you are right.
The romans will step in.
We must not allow this miracle man, this fraud,
To disrupt passover.
Does pilate know?
Hmm...
