Previously on Testament.

Let me explain.

The sun.

They're all in the lower streets.

The sun is with them.

Through Esther.

Jesus, follow us. They will follow us off the Nazarene.

We deal with rogue factions like these every other week in the city.

They die as quickly as they begin.

It's the resurgence of this one I'm more interested in.

They claim he was raised from the dead.

You're hiding something, Curfuss.

What are you not telling me? Come to my place tomorrow lunchtime.

We'll talk there.

I know it's true. It's something old, yet something new.

Get up. You have to believe these blasphemers. You're not my son.

Caleb. A wheelchair.

It's cold here.

We'll have to get to the temple tomorrow.

I'm ready, Gamaliel. I surpassed every other minister in training when I was

here. Mara, fancy a challenge?

Their leaders will be in the temple courtyard tomorrow day.

I assume for prayer time.

In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, walk.

Caleb here was healed by the Holy and Righteous One.

Blasphemy!

You are arrested on the authority of the temple for blasphemy against the Most

High!

Do you understand?

We do.

Take him to the cells.

Are you both okay?

What do we do now? I need to help Caleb. Stephen, you can't do anything now.

Trust me.

Peter and John are with him. He's in good hands.

Excuse me.

Do you guys know the speaker? We want to know more about what you're saying.

Me too. Oh, yes, we do. Hold on.

Susanna!

This is exciting.

Susanna, anyone who wants to know more, gather them up and tell them to meet in

the courtyard by the upper apartment.

Philip and Stephen will help you. We can help too.

On it. Wait, where are you going?

Someone's got to tell the fishermen.

Nothing special.

None of us. No, I mean, I'm a fisherman.

We have a tax collector, a barber.

Andrew.

Mary.

Is everything all right? We need to find James.

Why? What's happened?

It's your brothers.

They've been arrested.

Grace is ours.

James, you have to calm down. No, I have to get them out.

Then how are you going to do that?

I don't know.

I will think of something.

I will force my way in if I have to. I'll end up with them. Think, James.

You only make things worse.

Give him time.

He'll be fine.

Do we know when the trial will be?

If there'll even be one. It's too late in the day for them to do anything.

That's not what happened with Jesus. No, but they were planning that. This came

as a surprise to them. The ministers won't convene until tomorrow morning at

earliest. Has Araya already left?

Yeah, she went with Mother Mary and the others back to Capernaum yesterday

evening. It'll be safer for them there.

Who?

Araya. Peter's wife.

She doesn't know.

We've got to tell her. No, no, no. There's no point in worrying her until

know more. Let's hold off on that. But surely we should...

Peter's a better preacher than I thought.

Welcome back.

From this afternoon.

And there's more.

Your bro did good.

Matthias is taking some of them to the pools now to be baptized.

Okay.

We know what we need to do.

Um, okay, guys, if you want to find me... This way? We'll head over there.

Yeah, yeah, you guys.

What are we going to do about the boy?

He'll pack up there.

And Caleb?

He was arrested too.

Caleb? Uh, the man who was healed.

He'll need our help.

Uh, okay, well, tomorrow morning, James and I will go to the temple.

Right.

Okay.

What are you talking about? Everyone loved you. Well, I'm happy he's being

replaced.

We should be condemning him publicly.

A resignation will be quieter, you know that.

We just need to find him first.

Sir, Minister Gamaliel.

Minister Van Ness, John, Alexander.

It's an honour, gentlemen.

Well, it's not every day that a Pharisee is invited to a thagesty meeting.

Are you thinking of joining us?

Maybe in the next life.

Please, take a seat.

For me?

Yes, High Minister.

Speak freely.

Reports of a miracle, sir.

Caleb, he's been healed.

The layman?

You know him?

Who doesn't? He's caught quite the commotion.

Praise almighty, I would think so.

Offerings will be up this week. The temple's packed.

He's down the street.

Where exactly?

Happened in the temple courtyard.

The courtyard?

Which minister was presiding? No minister, sir.

I'm sorry, but what exactly happened?

Keep it down.

You know, this is like that time when Jesus healed that guy by the Bethesda

pools.

Do you remember that?

And he said, um... What was it he said when they got mad at him?

No, wait, that was because of the Sabbath.

Yeah, yeah, it was the blind man, and he said, um... Pete,

what's wrong?

Pete?

You okay?

Arise got home with Mother Mary.

You don't need to worry about them.

I'm not worried about that.

4 -3, come up to the training room to debrief. Captain's orders, close.

Coming on up.

Close.

Not like you're going anywhere.

Hey.

I need you with me, Pete.

Next thing I know, he's running down to the ones that follow Jesus.

I hear that.

Praise El Shaddai. It's a real miracle.

It's a real miracle.

That's all.

Hey.

Oh, come in.

Thank you.

Do you have anything to eat?

Gentlemen, I'll see you all tomorrow.

First thing.

Dismissed.

Ah, Gamaliel.

Shall we?

The chief ministers and I thank you for your patience.

I have no need to remind you of the chaos of politics.

You were friends with Minister Yusuf from Arimathea?

If this is to do with his disappearance, Caiaphas, I assure you I have not

seen... It was his tomb.

I beg your pardon?

Where they buried the Nazarene, Yusuf gave up his own mausoleum.

No one knows, apart from a select few, for obvious reasons.

Isaiah's prophecy.

Exactly.

Buried in a rich man's tomb.

Well then, why not just move the body, perhaps give it back to the family?

There lies our problem.

The body is gone.

Three days after the Nazarene's execution, the two imperial sentinels

Pilate gave to guard the tomb came to the temple begging for protection.

It's clear that the Nazarene's disciples attacked the tomb,

incapacitated the sentinels, and they stole.

The body.

We thought to keep the news from Pilate a day or two to try and deal with it

ourselves. We prepared for the worst, expecting a surge of claims from his

followers, but instead, nothing.

Silence.

We didn't hear a thing.

We assumed they went away and buried him elsewhere.

Until... Yesterday.

Over a month later.

Now they claim he is risen.

And finding the body now would be impossible.

Tell me.

Pilate still doesn't know.

I want you there tomorrow, Gamaliel.

At the interrogation representing the Pharisees.

No, I don't know him.

I don't know the man.

I'm telling you, I don't know him!

Breakfast.

Still work?

Oh, still working.

No, thanks. You should eat. You need the strength.

Oi!

Any idea when we'll be seeing?

Not now.

The High Minister can't wait to see you.

High Minister?

Good luck.

Not bad, actually.

You look awful.

Thanks. I've left some coffee in the pot.

Is this... Is this the same vase you fell on when you were 12?

Yeah, you were running around the house after you found out you'd been picked by

Minister Gamaliel. You fainted at the first sight of your blood.

No, I didn't. Yeah, you did.

I had to carry you unconscious down to Dr. Michael.

You didn't even wake up through your stitches.

You fixed it.

Always meant to. I just never found the time when you lived here.

Why are you here, Saul?

To spend some quality time with my big sis.

And Asher, of course.

And I missed it that birthday. He's 12 now.

They really do grow up fast.

Really? Sorry.

You said that you would be staying at the ministerial quarters after the

funeral. What changed? Right, Eliza, I can hear when I'm not wanted. That's not

what I mean, and you know it.

We don't see you for years, except at Mum's funeral, and now you just turn up

without a word.

Something's up.

What is it, work?

About a question from Gamal you got your stump? No.

Talk to me, Saul.

It's here.

Oh, hey, Uncle Sue.

Hey, buddy.

You've got a big avenue.

You look tired.

Don't be rude.

Put this on.

It's going to be late. Will you be here when I get back?

I finished work around five.

I think so.

Good. We'll talk properly then.

Just make yourself at home.

Everything is where it was. I should go give your uncle a hug.

Not too much coffee.

Andrew Rice!

Andrew Rice!

Got it, thanks.

Last bag.

Make it count.

How are we doing to group?

A little bit better, but 20 of the newbies from yesterday offered up their

rooms, but we're still really tight.

So we're running out of food and space.

And money.

There's no easy way to say this, but we are at an all -time low.

Yeah, pizza yesterday wasn't a good idea.

Sorry, not sorry.

What about teaching today? When James heads off to the temple, that'll leave

around 105.

James should stay.

Well, that's not going to happen.

We can't ask him to do that. Yeah, it's his little brother. There's no way he's

not going to go. Mary's right.

If I go, I'll end up taking things into my own hands.

I should stay.

It'll be all right. I'll be there.

Come on.

We should go together.

Andrew, I should hold things down here.

I don't want to be alone.

Mary will go with you.

Of course.

Bring our brothers home.

Matthew, add their groups to mine for today.

I'm going to prep in the other room.

You came back? Yeah.

I just saw people carrying out supplies and thought you might need some extra

help. Oh, great. Yeah, yeah. We can get.

Joachim, can you show... Sorry, what was your name again? Naomi.

Can you show Naomi where we unload the tanks?

Thank you.

Philip, you got any notepads or paper I can borrow for today?

I haven't even got a bag yet.

And a bag for Isaac.

You're not Philip.

Um, no.

No bags, I'm afraid.

Ah, fantastic.

This is Stephen.

He's going to be staying here with us.

In the top room.

Cool.

Isaac. And this is Addy.

They were just here visiting town for a shower, but, well, you know.

I meant to introduce you all last night, but you weren't back yet.

No, our group were praying together well after midnight.

It was great.

What was the name of our guy again? Thomas. Oh, he was brilliant.

Was he one of the brothers?

No, that's James and John.

Also Peter and Andrew.

Can't believe those 12 got to spend so much time with Jesus.

Plus Mary, Susanna.

There's quite a few of them, actually. I think groups are going to be split a

little differently after what happened yesterday.

How come?

The arrest.

Some of the apostles are at the temple trying to figure out how to help Peter

and John.

Chariot! Oh, come on.

Fail out next time.

All right.

Are you not getting in?

I'm going to go to the temple.

They're going for Peter and John, but Caleb... I feel responsible.

I took him there.

Be careful.

I want to know the man.

Yesterday.

How'd you do it?

It wasn't me.

Yeah, it was.

It was the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.

Something in you that wasn't you.

And it landed you in here.

Well, no. We knew stuff like this was going to happen.

Jesus told us.

He said that you'd be arrested.

Pretty much.

They did the thing to him.

Handed him to the Imperium.

Had him beaten.

Killed?

Well, he laid down his life for us.

So we're willing to do the same for him.

Help me, Pete.

Hold on.

You guys think they'll be sending us to death?

I thought so.

Sing it as well.

John Zebedee of Capernaum and Simon Jonah also from Capernaum.

You're both fishermen, correct?

Yes, Minister.

We are.

Which means that you are the lame man.

Or were.

You're all in the presence of High Minister Caiaphas. You shall speak when

spoken to with respect and humility, is that understood?

Yes, Minister, an honour.

High Minister, you were seized yesterday in the temple courtyards at 3

.26 for disrupting the peace and heresy. It wasn't heresy. You speak when spoken

to.

Before yesterday, you were lame, yes?

Yes, High Minister.

So it is clear a miracle of sorts has taken place.

Praise almighty.

Praise almighty.

Yet you claim to have performed it. No, sir.

It was the other one.

He's the one who made the speech.

Is this true?

Yesterday...

We came to the temple to announce the... No one was speaking to you. I was

answering your question, minister.

We want to hear from you, Simon.

This miracle, by what power or name do you claim to have done it?

You will cease, Benjamin.

In whose name do you claim to have done this, Simon?

You will feast, fisherman.

Peter. In whose name do you claim to have done this?

Simon?

That's not my name.

Ministers, if you are charging us for doing a kind thing for Caleb, who was

lame, and you want to know how he was healed?

Then know it is by the power of the Son of Man.

The same man you had executed, the same man God raised from the dead, by his

name does Caleb stand before you today.

That's enough, Simon. My name's Peter, by the way.

But that's not really important.

Because the name you're looking for is Jesus of Nazareth. I have asked you to

stop. No, you asked him to speak.

He is the stone you rejected that has become the chief cornerstone. And

salvation can be found in no one else. Because there is only one name in heaven

and earth through who we are saved. Enough!

You did ask.

My name's Peter, by the way. It just sort of came out, I guess.

Listen, I'm sorry about before.

Do you want to be worried for a sec?

I suddenly... I felt him there, you know?

I started speaking and then...

He just took over, I guess.

I mean, he said it, didn't he?

It would do even greater things than he did.

These guys are not going to like it.

Excuse me.

I'd like to speak to someone.

You. Yeah.

I'd like to speak to someone inside.

You don't want to do that this way.

But... Stephen, you've met

Andrew, Peter's brother?

Hey. What are you doing here?

I'm trying to help.

By being demanding with a guard?

That's not what we do.

No, I wasn't trying to... So what's your plan, then? What are you going to do?

We pray.

We wait.

We hope.

And we pray.

Insolence. I say we lock them up for good. On what charge?

Other than their disrespect.

Take your pick, Gamaliel.

Blasphemy. Insurgency.

Inciting revolution.

Revolution. You really think these fishermen are capable of that? They

sound like ordinary men, Gamaliel.

They sounded like...

They sounded like him.

Ministers, I have the man.

Bring him in, Captain.

Bring in Caleb, immediately.

Caleb, first things first.

Congratulations.

Honestly, we are in awe of the miraculous healing you experienced.

Truly exquisite, yes?

Yes, sir.

Minister, sir.

Very much so.

You must be looking forward to your new future.

Absolutely. Yes, Minister.

Before any of that, though, I'm curious.

What happened yesterday in the temple courtyard?

I... I was

healed.

That's all I really know.

By whom?

Who do you believe Caleb truly healed you at the temple of the Most High God?

Was it our Lord, our God, King of all?

Or do you too believe it was?

Who's Peter?

Caleb. It's Caleb. He's out.

He's out. He's out. Caleb!

I know him.

Let him through.

Caleb, you're okay?

Thank God you're okay.

So good to see you, buddy. You have no idea.

Where's Peter? John, are they okay?

I don't... They took them.

He's over here.

I touched him.

Let him go. Let him go. This is all getting a bit much. Come with us.

You're friends with the other two?

Yes. Yeah, I think I need some space, Stevie. I need to be alone.

Look, I know that this is overwhelming, but you don't need to... I don't... I'm

not going to take anything.

No, honestly, no.

I don't even want it.

You can take it. I'll take that.

Here, have some food on me. Just get out of here, now. Okay, go.

Just the two of us.

You hungry?

Yeah, sure.

Both of them.

I mean, they were ready to die for this Jesus fella.

You should meet everyone.

You'll understand.

It's incredible.

There's loads of us, which can be a bit daunting. And obviously, I don't know

everyone. But, oh, there's Philip.

You've got to meet Philip. I'm staying with him at the moment. He's awesome.

And Mary, she's... Whoa, whoa, whoa. Chill, buddy.

Do you want to hear what I said?

They were willing to die.

I've just got my life back.

Don't take this the wrong way.

Thanks.

And no thanks.

But, Caleb, you've been healed.

Don't you want to know how?

This thing you've got involved in, this serious... This Jesus we're talking

about, he's the one we've all been waiting for. I don't want to tell you

live your life.

Would you even meet?

This thesis that they're talking about?

Um... No.

But... I know him.

Somehow.

I'm not going to throw my new life away on somebody that I don't know.

Somebody... you've not even seen.

I'm not explaining this very well. I really am grateful.

I'm going to go.

I hope your friends end up okay.

And you...

It's getting late.

We need to make a decision soon, son. We either bring them before the Grand

Sanhedrin or deal with them here.

It's not that simple.

Have you seen it out there?

They all know the same thing we do.

I'm confused.

What? A miracle took place yesterday and everyone saw it. It's not all negative.

There's been a major increase in the people's temple offering. Yes, but the

blasphemy. Surely we punished them for the things that they said.

We can't imprison the two men who publicly healed a lame beggar. Not now.

Think how the people would react to that.

They'd be uproar. Then we hand them over to the Imperium like we did to Jesus.

No.

Emporial inspection is next week. I will not have them hear a word about any of

this. High Minister,

Pilate is bound to find out about the tomb sooner or later.

He can't find out.

You can't find out that we have a rumoured resurrected Messiah on the

gathering a following.

You think they're building an army, and then we'll have the full force of the

Imperium raining down on us in a matter of days.

With respect, High Minister, there's only one option left.

Andrew, sorry.

I've got to go look into something.

Are you going to be all right on your own?

So much for rest.

You're back already? That was quick.

No, Saul.

It wasn't. The traffic was jammed coming down from the temple.

It's nearly seven.

You've not moved from this room, have you?

Have you eaten?

I'm studying, Eliza.

If you're not going to rest, you might as well be at the temple.

Don't suppose you've heard the news?

The burger?

Healed.

All the parents were talking about it at the school gate.

Asha was asking about it on the way home.

A lame man who's completely healed.

I mean, that's a miracle, brother.

A miracle.

Nothing. What exactly are they saying?

The people about what happened?

Well, mainly they're excited that God's at work.

And?

And they say it was a man who told him to walk, not a minister, just a normal

man.

They say that he healed him in the name of God.

And in the name of his son.

Do you think it means something?

Ordinarily I would dismiss it, but everyone, well, everyone was saying it,

people saw it, so I'm just wondering if... Jeremiah, for I will restore

to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all

your iniquities, who heals all your diseases. The Lord our God, Eliza. I

I'm your sister.

I may not be able to teach it, but I grew up learning from the same

you did. So don't you treat me like some Gentile or one of those rural heretics

Gamaliel sends you to draw out.

I am just telling you what happened and what's being said.

You're a minister.

You need to consider what this all means. If things are different now

what they thought... Nothing is different.

It didn't happen like they said it did.

You were there.

Nothing is different.

Do you accept our terms?

We do not.

We've been very gracious.

We'll allow your little following, who I'm sure will see you through to the

few years.

Assuming they don't find out that you stole the body.

We have witnesses.

Sentinels posted at the tomb.

The ones you subdued.

Oh. No more. No more preaching. No more speaking out in his name.

Let's draw the line here.

Do you understand?

You don't understand it, do you?

That's why you're here.

You're scared.

Not for me.

I have nothing to be afraid of.

Worry for the three in prison.

Well, not three.

What? They released one, didn't they? The beggar they released miles ago.

They're releasing them. I don't know about the rest.

I have to go.

What do you think is right in the eyes of God?

I beg your pardon?

Should we listen to you or to him?

You do what you need to do.

We are never going to stop speaking about what we've seen.

They've let one of them go.

The prisoners.

They've let the beggar go. We need to make sure that... I know. I know, Saul.

was there.

But they kept the other two, right?

What about the other men?

I know there's a lot going on right now.

Our main problem, as we all know, is the accommodation and finance.

You can say that again. We're officially out of reserves from our time spent

with Jesus.

And Joanna has mentioned she's finding it harder and harder to send additional

support. So what do we do?

Well, I've sent word to my estate back home to put everything up for sale. Now,

that should sustain us in our current numbers, plus a few more, for a few

maybe.

What? All of it?

Yes, Simon.

All of it.

Wow.

I'll do the same.

Count me in.

Yeah, me too. Me too.

Thank you.

What do we mean?

We're selling everything.

What?

We're selling everything.
