Today is the day.

I know.

You sure this is the way?

We've had this conversation.

There are no alternatives.

And there will be no mercy

If we fail.

We end up like priscilla's discarded.

Enjoying the luxury of the dungeon.

But if we succeed,

Your uncle will be our pawn.

Oh, antipas won't be able

To take his eyes off you.

And I'll do anything

You ask. Us.

Love the lord your god

With all your heart and.

Love your neighbor

As yourself.

Now is my neighbor.

Teacher.

Let me tell you a story.

A traveler was going down from jerusalem

To jericho when he was attacked

By robbers.

They stripped him of all his clothes.

They beat him.

And left him for dead.

Jesus's signature way of teaching

Is through parables, which are stories

Drawn from nature or everyday life that tease the

Mind and the act of thought.

A priest.

Or a priest

Happened to be traveling down this same road.

When he saw him.

He passed by.

On the other side.

So, to alleviate.

When he came to the place and saw the injured traveler.

Passed by.

On the other side.

But a samaritan

Came to the place.

And when he saw him.

He took pity on him.

The samaritans are northerners

Who are from a region called samaria.

They are not judeans.

The gospels recount deep rivalry,

Deep division between jews and samaritans.

Jews from galilee would say.

They're not really even jews.

They're fake jews.

The samaritan went to the injured traveler

And bandaged his wounds.

And he brought him to an inn.

He took care of him.

Which of these men

Do you think

Was a neighbor?

To the man who fell to the hands of robbers.

The one who had mercy on him.

The samaritan really shouldn't be helping the jew.

And the jew is not expecting help from the samaritan.

And yet they're able to bridge this divide.

Jesus here is saying everyone is your neighbor.

No matter who they are.

Jesus invites us to love our neighbors as ourselves.

He's quoting his hebrew scripture, leviticus.

In deuteronomy.

Love god.

Love neighbor. Love self.

This is the gospel.

You. Are.

There's nothing to worry about.

It's more a minor incursion than an invasion.

The borders will be secured in no time.

The lips of the adulterous

Woman break, honey.

For stephanie.

Straight to the grave.

Couldn't you have asked him to give us the night off?

Could have been his birthday present to you. His?

Spirit and

To piss is throwing a birthday party for himself.

He has all these dignitaries there.

This is a scene in which it is fueled by alcohol and excess.

My father,

Herod the great, promised big things.

Oh! Oh, I should have been king.

And then this

Sickness and disease,

And lost his mind.

What is it?

Oh, just a little surprise for your birthday, my love.

May be.

And later.

Tradition.

Salome's dance becomes famous.

The victorian writer oscar wilde calls it

The dance of the seven veils, a name that sticks.

To our.

Eyes.

Solomon's dance has really,

Frankly turned herod antipas on.

He's really aroused by watching her.

And this is his stepdaughter.

It's kind of gross when you think about it.

Ask me for whatever you wish.

I'll give it to you.

I think I'll stick with me, solomon.

I'll give you anything.

Half my kingdom.

I can have my house.

I want you to give me

The head of john the baptist on a platter.

No and no. No.

Not that. Please.

I choose something else.

And I want you

To give me the head of john the baptist on a platter.

Right? No.

Antipas

Doesn't want to have john the baptist killed,

But he's made a public vow in front of party guests,

And he doesn't want to lose face.

Like.

The messiah.

Such.

I thought this day would never

Know.

Oh, god.

No, no.

The loving god with all my soul. Please.

Even when god takes your soul from you.

Oh holy, holy, holy is the lord almighty.

Oh, john, as he's facing his own execution.

Must have

Wondered if it was all worth it.

If he had missed god's calling.

Oh, the whole earth is full of his glory.

And yet I wonder,

Even in those moments of doubt,

There's still this inkling of hope.

Because the prophets had spoken clearly, and he'd seen in jesus

Something life giving.

Holy, holy, holy is the lord of.

Oh, what a what!

You'll find us,

I know for us.

Take it away.

He wanted to destroy your authority.

Our family.

He thought he was better than you.

A prophet of god.

But god let you execute him.

Now the people will know where

The true power lies in this land.

Return his body to his followers.

It's the least we can do.

Lord,

You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

Before the mountains were born.

Or you brought forth the whole world.

You turn john back to dust by saying,

I turn to dust, you mortals.

A thousand years

In your sight are like a day that has just gone by.

Or a watch in the night.

Yet you sweep people away

In the sleep of death.

It is important to recognize the way in which

The john the baptist figure is yet present with us today.

With every baptism, there is an opportunity

To relive the john the baptist story.

It is about the necessity of those of us

With power to care about those without power

Every night for us to revisit what it means to have courage,

To revisit the power of forgiveness,

The cleansing of sins, and then new birth.

John, is that

If executed, him.

Peter.

Looked after the people here.

Where are you going?

I need to be alone.

Please, teacher.

These people need you.

Here.

The death of john would have been a bitter blow for jesus.

Because according to the gospel of luke, they were cousins.

They were family.

But on top of this, john was jesus's mentor for a while.

And so this would have been a tremendous loss for jesus.

Jesus.

Please help us pray.

As john taught his disciples.

When you pray.

Say these words.

Father.

Hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come.

Give us each day our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins,

For we also forgive those

Who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation.

But deliver us

From the evil one.

In the

Gospel of luke, when the disciples ask jesus

To teach them to pray the way john the baptist's

Disciples prayed.

Jesus begins to recite the lord's prayer.

So that's a really interesting connection there.

It might mean that there's resonances in the lord's prayer

Of something that john the baptist used as a prayer

With his own disciples.

And come forward.

Take faith in the lord.

Through.

The gospel of matthew says that shortly after hearing about

John's death, a group of sick people approached jesus.

The gospel suggests

That herod antipas sends out spies all over the countryside,

Looking for holy men who might be a threat.

He's worried about any new leader

Stepping forth and taking up john's mantle.

Come.

Up. Sometime

After antipas execution of john the baptist's

Antipas, his forces met the nabataean in battle,

And antipas, his armies were forced to retreat

After being utterly devastated

By the nabataean armies.

Antipas now is in trouble.

The nabataean

Army is still in his territory, and according to josephus,

The jewish people will blame antipas, his troops,

To feed on his treatment of john the baptist.

Our remaining forces have retreated

North towards jericho.

They said this would happen.

I made this happen.

I was weak.

And you, you.

You manipulated me.

Oh, there's nonsense again.

This has nothing to do with the headless holy man

And everything to do with your army being a shambles.

What you should do now is obvious.

Well, I can't bring him back to life, can I?

Fix my crime.

You need to go to pilot.

Ask him to send word to the legate in syria.

You do realize, don't you,

That if the romans decide that I.

That we are not fit to rule here,

Then all of this will be taken away.

Well,

Did you track down the baptizer, his followers?

They found him by the sea of galilee.

They have a new leader.

Who is he?

It's hard to explain.

He healed the sick.

We talked it.

It can't be.

Can't be what?

Describe him.

Dark hair.

Tall, charismatic.

Just like the great prophet.

Thought

He's back.

The baptizer, his

Is raising the dead.

You people don't come back from losing their heads.

You complete fool!

He's some charlatan.

People will believe anything.

Elijah.

In a nutshell, both raise the dead. Oh.

His reaction is, is this john

The baptizer back again to haunt me?

Is this john the baptizer?

Part two.

The sequel.

It's not far now.

There's a spring north of here.

I can set up camp there by.

When jesus and his disciples come

To the outskirts of the town of caesarea philippi,

He turns and he asks them a question.

Who do they say I am?

Some say you are john

The baptist, reborn.

Others say elijah returned.

Oh, one of the prophets from long ago has come back to life.

But what about you?

Who do you say I am?

Do all the messiah.

The son of the living god.

This is a big moment in the new testament story.

Peter declares jesus the son of god.

Jesus accepts that statement as true.

And this is the defining moment of messiah ship.

Just who jesus is is

Now clear to his disciples.

Now their mission

To prove this to all of judea

Is about to start.

Jesus of nazareth story is only beginning.
