[Salvation Poem theme music]

[gentle music]

Mama! James and I want to hearthe creation story again.

All right, all right, John. All right, all right, John.

Both of you sit down,and listen closely.

In the beginning,was nothing but darkness.

Then God said,"Let there be light."

[majestic music]

Over six days, He spoke all thingsinto existence.

And then He made us,

His children,created in His image.

We lived with Him together,in a perfect garden.

There was just one rule.

Do not eatfrom the forbidden tree.

But we didn't trust Him.

We disobeyed.

And in our shame,we fled from God's light,

into a dark, and dying world.

- [dogs howling]- Our world.

Wait, Mama!I don't like the dark.

We're scared. Right, James?

Yeah, maybe just skipto the part

where you-know-who shows up? where you-know-who shows up?

Don't be afraid, John.

I was just gettingto the best part.

Separated from God's light,what hope did we have?

Alone in the darkness.

But God did not abandon us.

He promised to senda mighty king to save us.

The Messiah.

He will overcome the darkness,

and make all thingsright again.

Yeah, by destroying our enemies!

Yah! Yah!

His kingdom of lightwill last forever!

Yah! Yah!

He'll defeat Rome,and free us all.

Hush, boys.Someone might hear you.

Zebedee, they're just excited.

I've heard rumors the Messiahis already here,

waiting to reveal himself.

Already here?

The fishmonger told methis story about a bright star

that appeared whenthe Messiah was born.

Salome, I'm sorry,but do you hear yourself?

Magic, stars,fish-market gossip?

We have to focus on what's real. We have to focus on what's real.

Working hard,and not crossing Rome.

- [blowing]- [woman] No!

Stop!

- [men grunting]- [boy] Papa!

[boy 2] Don't take my Papa!

[man] Peter! Andrew! Stay back!

We always pay our taxes to Rome.

We just need a little more time.

It's too late for that.

If we couldn't catchenough fish before,

how are we supposed to,with him in prison?

Not our problem.

We have to help them!

John, no!

John, stop!

[grunting with effort]

There's nothing we can do.

No one is coming to save us.

We have to keep our heads down,

and take care of ourselves.

[somber music]

[John sobs softly]

They needed our help.

[sighs]

Come, boys.

Bedtime.

[gentle music]

[door creaks] [door creaks]

- Mama?- Hmm?

Is Papa right?

Is the Messiah not real?

Your father just wantsto keep you safe.

But the Messiah is real.

He'll be our King,

to bring us out of the darkness.

He will bethe light of the world.

[joyful music]

[James] Be ready, John!

Looks like there'sa storm on the horizon!

I'll have to steer ustoward calm waters.

Sails up! Oars down!

[James] Rough waters ahead!

- Oh no!- Ha ha!

- [James] A rogue wave!- Ah!

[James laughing]

Boys! Boys!

Aah! A sea monster,approaching off the bow!

- Stern.- Stern.

Hmph! Stop playing around.

The tax collector is on his way.

James, I need you to getthese fish to the market,

and get back with the moneyas quick as you can.

You told me to help Peterwith his nets.

I can do it!

[grunting] Whoa!

Oh! Ah! [grunting]

Uh, I don't think so.

You have to trust himat some point.

[grunting with effort]

See?

Fine.

[gasps] You won't regret it!

- I know a shortcut!- No shortcuts.

Just go the normal way.

Are you sureyou have to go, Andrew?

Peter, I have to seeif the rumors

about the Messiah are true.

I'll be back in a few days.

[sighs] Well, if you find him,

ask him if he needs a servant.

I don't think my brother'scut out to be a fisherman.

[John] No, this isn't right.

Ah!

[energetic music]

[grunting]

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Comin' through!

Pardon! Pardon!

[panting] Whoa!

- Oh! Oof!- Hey!

Sorry, teacher!

- Aah!- [sheep bleating]

Whoa!

[grunting in slow motion]

Sorry!

Guess I'm notthe only catch of the day.

- [laughing]- [groaning]

[grunting with effort]Excuse me!

Aha!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

[splats]

[ripping noise]

[splatting]

Ahem! I would liketo sell some fish.

Oh, your father normallysends, um, the bigger one.

You know, the stronger one,seems a little smarter.

Hmm, if we could please hurrythis along, that'd be great.

[thud]

- [man] Ah!- Can I help you with something?

Actually, could youpass me that hammer? Actually, could youpass me that hammer?

This is yours? Ah.

[fishmonger] He's notat the Jordan River, is he?

- Who?- Your brother, the more handsome one.

Oh. No. Hey!

A whole group of peopleleft this morning.

They said the Messiahwas down at the Jordan River.

My papa saysthe Messiah isn't real.

He's just a story.

But you know what is real?

[laughing] Yeah, uh-huh.

Four...

five...

For the record,the Messiah is real.

One day he'll show upand punish the wicked,

defeat the Romans,

and give those crooked tax collectorswhat they deserve.

Yes, crooked tax collectors,

like the one comingto my house right now.

Could we... [whimpers]

[fishmonger] All right, then.

- You're all set.- Thank you.

You'll never make it, though.

Not in this traffic.

- Oh, no.- Ah, finished.

[sheep bleating]

Ah! Thanks.

He's never gonna make it.

I think he'll find his way.

[dog barks distantly]

[groans fearfully]

[baby wailing]

- Quiet!- Aah!

Leave me alone!

Please, help me.

I... I can't.

This is the worst shortcut ever.

[child coughing]

[child coughing]

[coins jingling]

Should still be enough.

Hi, I'm John.

What's your name?

Josiah.

- Here.- Thank you.

You're welcome.

[man] You, fish boy!

Fish boy?

Uh-oh.

Waah! [panting]

Wah! Oh, no!

People have been killedfor less than what you've done.

An assault on meis an assault on Rome. An assault on meis an assault on Rome.

- Look, two babies on a wolf!- Huh?

Oof! Ah!

[grunting]

[growling]

No one makes a fool of Rome!

I'll find you!

[Zebedee] Now, Levi.

Can I call you Levi?

My name is Matthew.

Levi, some boats are big,

and then, some boats are small.

- Yeah, uh-huh, but--- But the thing is,

they almost all have nets.

Makes sense, but Zebedee--

And the secretto pulling in the big fish...

- Yeah, uh-huh?- Three-day-old bait.

Zebedee! We've been listeningto fishing stories all morning.

I could catch fish by now.

- You're welcome.- Your taxes.

Can you pay them or not?

Uh, yes, of course.

See, my son John is...

right here with your money.

[John panting]

I... I ran. I... I ran.

We can see you ran.

- I ran into a Roman.- That's great, John.

Let's just get Levi his money.

It's Matthew!And it's not my money.

- I'm just doing my job.- [gasps] John.

Papa, I...

Oh, no.

Look, I can help.

I can give you three more days.

- For a fee.- What?

You're charging us extra?

We all haveour masters to serve.

This is the best I can do.

- But it's not fair!- Easy, John.

There's no reasoningwith traitors.

What did he say?

He called you a traitor,because that's what you are!

You're a traitorto your own people.

You know what? Fine.

Let's make it double.Now you owe double.

- John!- [John] This isn't fair!

One day you're gonna get yours,you drunken--

Ah! Ah! Aah!

- Aah! Oh...- James, I'm sorry.

Double. Double's fine.Double's great.

It didn't have to be this way.

Three days, double what you owe. Three days, double what you owe.

And if you can't pay,we take your father to prison.

[ominous music]

[sighs]

[James] Ah!

Papa?

[gulls cry]

[somber music]

[James moaning]

He needs to heal.

[sighs]

Papa, I can help.

Not today, little fish.

You've helped enough.

- But--- Zebedee.

Peter, what are you doing?

You have your own fish to catch.

Listen, when they camefor my father,

you were the only onewho took care of my family.

All these years,you've showed up.

- Peter, I...- Now it's my turn to show up.

I already lost one fatherto a Roman prison.

I'm not going to lose another. I'm not going to lose another.

I'm just sorry Andrewisn't here to help.

I can help.

[grunting with effort]

Every time he hears a rumorabout the Messiah,

he takes off in that direction.

Uh-huh. And who'sthe Messiah this time?

[Peter] Someone called The Baptizer,down at the river.

[chuckles]

You want to help?

Stay here, and mend netswith your mother.

[groans]

Hmph.

[sighs heavily]

[John sighs]

It just seems like nothingI do ever helps anyone.

John, what do you see?

A net?

You might see a net.

What I see is a promise.

Your father thinks that he's responsiblefor catching the fish.

Isn't he?

No, it's just his jobto cast the nets.

Then we trust Godto provide the fish.

It's the sameas trusting God's promises.

Even when we find ourselves adriftin the deepest, darkest waters,

even when all hope is lost,

we still cast our nets, andtrust they won't come up empty.

- You're right!- I am?

[John] We need peoplewho can cast nets!

- We need Andrew!- Andrew?

And the fishmonger saidthat the Messiah is at the Jordan River!

I bet that's where Andrew is!

We'll go there, bring him back,

he'll help us fish, we'll getthe money, and save Papa!

- Simple!- [Salome] John...

[sighs]

I love you.

Um, which way is the...

Jordan River.

Right.

Muah!

[John laughing]

[John grunting with effort]

The river!

Andrew?

Hello?

- Huh. [gasps]- [splatting]

- Honey?- [man laughs]

Huh? Is someone up there?

[man] Hey, there! How's yourhand-eye coordination?

- My what?- [man] Catch!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh! Oh!Oh! Oh! Oof.

Oh, that's just great. Oh!

- [man] Yah! Whoa!- Blah!

Whoa-hoa! Yah!

- Hi! Hurry now!- Wah!

I'd say we haveabout 26 seconds.

Hey, who's Andrew?

Huh? Oh, my friend Andrew. Huh? Oh, my friend Andrew.

He's at the part of the riverwhere people are being baptized.

Oof!

- What happens in 26 seconds?- More like 14 now.

- How about you just come with me?- You know where they are?

- Wah!- [man] I hope so!

I'm the one doing the baptizing!Ha ha!

Really? You're The Baptizer?

- Four seconds.- Until what?

- Bees!- Bees?

- [man] Run!- Aah! Bees!

- [buzzing]- [both panting]

And that happens every time?

Oh, they do not appreciate ustaking of God's bounty.

But this will feedlots of people

who are waiting to be baptized.

Uh, what is baptized?

Well, it representsstarting over.

You are dunked under the water,and come out clean.

Then you get eaten?

Oh, well, not that part.

I just like bugs. [chuckles]

[laughs]

Why do we need to start over? Why do we need to start over?

We've all done thingswe shouldn't have.

Hmm.

Looks like those honeycombsaren't the only things you're carrying.

I think my papa's going to go to prisonbecause of me.

I lost my temper.

I don't knowwhat's wrong with me.

There's nothing so brokenthat God can't fix.

Baptism is a wayof saying to God,

"I turn away from my darkness,and I choose your light instead."

So the water washes awaythe darkness?

No, no, it's just a symbol.

But very soon,the Messiah will come,

and truly make us clean,restoring our relationship with God.

Wait, aren't you supposed to bethe Messiah?

- [man laughing]- Aren't you?

[foreboding music]

[Nicodemus] The people say thisBaptizer is the Messiah.

They think the cleansing of this madmanbrings them closer to God.

Ooh, closer to God?

Sounds like a good thing to me. Sounds like a good thing to me.

- [Nicodemus] Ahem!- Hmm?

Oh! Hmm.

The only way to Godis through the law,

ritual cleansing,temple sacrifice,

the spilt bloodof innocent lambs.

The only way to Godis through us.

- [Caiaphas] Precisely.- High Priest Caiaphas.

Your job is to keep and enforceour holy laws, Nicodemus,

not fall to piecesevery time a dirty hermit

starts preachingin the wilderness.

The Baptizer is no Messiah.

He is nothing.

But tell that to the hundredsgoing to see him,

even some of ourfellow Pharisees.

Maybe they seesomething we don't.

I tell you what I see.

If the people like his message,they'll follow him, not us.

We'll lose control.

What would Rome say of that?

Hmm...

It's true.

Governor Pontius Pilatedemands our loyalty.

He counts on usto keep our people in line. He counts on usto keep our people in line.

Fine. Go, now.

Deal with this Baptizerbefore it's too late.

[ominous music]

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

He's here!It's The Baptizer.

Come, come. Don't be shy, now.

There's enough for everybody.

- Here you go.- Thank you.

Ooh! Oh,that gets me every time.

- John?- Andrew, I found you.

What? I just found you.

We have to go back.

Papa is going to prisonin two days,

- if we can't catch enough fish, we--- Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.

John, I can't come back now.

What? Why?

They say he's the Messiah.

I have to find outif that's true.

[Pharisee] Out, out of the way.

Is it true?

Do you claim to be the Messiah?

- Of course not.- How dare--Oh.

Well, there's your answer.Let's go.

[man] But I am preparingthe way for him.

The Messiah is among us already.

The Messiah is here?

Everyone must readytheir hearts for his coming.

Even you, who teach God's law,must turn from your wicked ways.

How dare you!

We are the holy leadersof these people.

Does that meanyou want to go first?

- Huh!- Oh! Oy!

Come, let us report backto Caiaphas.

We should go, too.

He said the Messiahwas among us already.

- Huh?- He knows where we can find him.

But my Papa--

John, the Messiahcould change everything.

You said we had two days.Just give me one.

[sighs] Fine.

- Excuse me.- Whoa! Ah!

John, you can't justapproach a prophet!

Hello again.

Wait, you two know each other?

You said the Messiah was here.

- Where is he?- [laughs] Well, not here.

- [groans]- But I can tell you where to find him. - [groans]- But I can tell you where to find him.

Oh, please.

If it meant meeting the Messiah,

I'd face the darkest,most dreadful,

most unimaginableordeal imaginable.

[joyful music playing]

A wedding?Huh! I love weddings.

The baptizer said the Messiah'sname is Jesus, from Nazareth.

The quicker we find him,the quicker we can go home.

Here we come, Messiah! Woo!

I can't let you inlooking like that.

- [John] What?- You look like a human beehive.

Hey, you guys,take those to the kitchen.

Hmm!

[low hum of chatter]

Welcome, tonight we celebratemy son, and his new bride.

Don't just stand there.Serve the wine.

[gasps]

Hmm. Oh-- hey!

- Do any of you know a Jesus?- Uh, no.

Jesus?

Do you know someone named Jesus?

Yes, I'm Jesus.

Jesus of Nazareth?

- Uh, Jesus of Canaan.- Oh, sorry.

Jesus!

Jesus?

Any Jesuses over here--ah! Whoa!

- [clattering thud]- [person screams]

- Huh. Hmm?- [man] Oh, can you hand me that?

Sure.

So, you're here serving?

Me? Oh, no.

I'd be a terrible servant.

Hey, it's you,from the marketplace.

Hello.

You sent me down that alley.

If I hadn't gone that way,none of this bad stuff

would have happenedto my family.

Sometimes the right pathisn't the easy path.

Just because something seems brokendoesn't mean it can't be fixed.

Ah. Better?

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Ah. Ah.

You're not goingto eat that, are you?

[laughs] Ew, no.

- Why would you say that?- [John laughs]

I knew a guy who ate those.

- The Baptizer.- The Baptizer?

With the honey,and the wild hair.

[laughs] Yes.

Oh, I've had to liveout in the wilderness,

but for him, it's...

A choice.

- [sighs]- What is it?

He made a choice.

He chose to believe.

His faith in the Messiah is so strong,

- but I...- Worry it's just a story?

That's what you said in the marketplace,right? What your father said?

He tells me not to hope for a Messiah.That no one is coming.

Of course, my mother, she hastotal trust in God's promises.

Just like The Baptizer.

So what do you believe?

- [woman] Jesus!- Jesus?

- Mama?- Oh, my son!

Are you eating enough?You're so thin, are you sick?

- Are you cleaning behind your ears?- Mother, please!

You're Jesus of Nazareth? You're Jesus of Nazareth?

Hello, I'm Mary.

Are you friends with my son?

Oh, no. I...

Hi, I'm John. So, you're the...

Oh no, I've ruined everything!

Emil, is everything all right?

There's no more wine!

They'll be humiliatedin front of the whole town!

It's all my fault!

Don't worry.

- We'll take care of it.- Oh! Oh, no. What--Oh!

It's not time to show themwho I really am.

Do whatever he says.

Fill them with clean water.

[water splashing]

Here, take this to Emil.

- Uh...- My cup is empty!

Is there any more wine?

I was told to give youthis, sir.

Oh! This is...

delicious!

Come, rejoice!

We've saved the very bestwine for last!

My son and his brideare truly blessed!

[joyful music]

[gentle music]

Oh, Messiah.

We'll follow you throughthe darkest, most dreadful,

most unimaginableordeal imaginable.

It is such an honorto finally meet you.

You have no idea...

Is he really the...

I knew who my son wasbefore he was born. I knew who my son wasbefore he was born.

Many prophetsspoke of his birth.

I know how it sounds.

He was born in a stable.

We were far from home,

and I had to lay himin a manger,

where the animalshad been eating.

No one knew where we were,but this brilliant angel

- appeared in the sky overhead.- Wait.

My mama told mea story like this.

- It's true?- It led them to us.

Shepherds, magi, believers,

they all came to worshipthis little baby,

who'd been born amongthe animals, because they knew.

Knew what?

That God rarely shows upin the ways you think he will.

[♪]

[Zebedee] Oh...

[sighs] It doesn't make sense.

We fished all night,and nothing.

I won't let themtake you to prison. I won't let themtake you to prison.

No, I don't wantyou making any trouble.

- [John] It's me!- They're here.

- I'm going quietly.- No, Zebedee.

Look!

- They're here!- [John] Papa!

- Hi!- Look who showed back up.

I'm here to help!

Thanks again for coming along.

- Of course.- [sighs]

Now I just need to convincemy Papa to let you help.

Andrew, faster!

Oh! I'm going as fast as I can!

- [Andrew grunts]- Papa!

- Mm!- Ah, my little fish, you're back.

But you're too late.

[John] It's okay.

I brought someone who can help.

This is Jesus.

Never heard of him.

- Does he fish?- Actually, I'm a carpenter.

He did teach from a boat, once.

- Is he serious?- John, who is this?

Uh, well, he's...

- He can protect us.- He's the Messiah!

- Really, John?- He turned water into wine. - Really, John?- He turned water into wine.

- Yeah!- [Zebedee] No, we've talked about this.

[John] But Papa, it was amazing.

It's just a story.

[wind gusts]

[reverent music]

[Zebedee] Look,I'm sorry my son was--

Cast your netsinto the deep water.

What? No.Enough of this nonsense.

No. Papa, wait.

[grunting with effort]

- What are you doing?- It's Him!

John, stop.

He's... the Messiah!

[grunting] Huh?

- [James chuckles]- No! Boys!

[John and James grunting]

[sighs] John,I thought you knew better.

- Uh, Papa?- Huh?

[Zebedee gasps]

[gulls crying]

[John gasping]

[James laughing]

[joyful music]

- [laughter]- [all grunting with effort]

Heave, quick!

[all grunting with effort]

We're gonna needa bigger boat! Ah!

[all grunting with effort]

[all laughing]

- Whoa!- There's so much fish!

[Jesus] Andrew, Peter,James, John.

It's time.

My Kingdom is here.

Leave your nets to follow me,

and I'll makeyou fishers of men.

[majestic music]

[John giggling]

[gentle music]

[Zebedee] You can't go.

- What?- [Zebedee] You're not going.

But, Papa!

I'll talk to him. I'll talk to him.

We need them here.

One big catchdoesn't solve everything.

There'll be more taxes.

That's exactly whywe need to let them go.

Hmph!

Are there enough fishin that sea

to pay everyone's taxes?

To set our people free?

[sighs heavily]

At least hear him out.

John.

John, I'm just tryingto protect you.

You always say we haveto keep our heads down.

Take care of ourselves.

- But you didn't.- What do you mean?

When they took away Peterand Andrew's father, you helped them.

You kept food on their table,taught them to fish.

They were hurting,and you showed up.

[sighs]

Papa, he's helping people.

I wanna be a part of that.

This is my chance to show up. This is my chance to show up.

[water splashes]

[gentle music]

[gasps] Thank you,thank you, thank you!

I love you.

[♪]

I love you, Mama.

[Zebedee] James.

You take care of him.

- Ha!- Ah!

[both laughing]

- [Andrew grunting]- [Jesus chuckles]

- [Andrew] Ow! Ow! Ow!- [Peter grunts]

[Jesus chuckles]

Let me be the firstto say, I'll follow you

into the most unimaginableordeal imaginable.

Hey! I already said that.

- I--I found him first.- Found him first?

He's not a seashellon the beach. He's not a seashellon the beach.

[laughs] To change the world,

we need both faithful hearts,and a strong foundation.

A rock. With those,we can build something great.

- Yeah!- [laughs]

Jesus! We're coming too!

- Yeah!- [all laughing]

Our King, we won't restuntil you sit

on your throne, in Jerusalem.

You will have many followers,but we're your only Disciples.

- [man] Your Disciples have arrived.- Huh?

[Disciples cheering]

My friends!

That's a lot of fish.

You see fish, I seea profitable day at the market.

- Who are these guys?- These are my other Disciples.

This is Judas.

If you couldn't tell,he's the money guy.

- I'm Simon.- The zealot.

- And proud of it.- Oh, yeah?

Well, I'm Peter, the rock.

[scoffs] Jesus called him thatone time.

- Just now.- Hey!

[all laughing]

- [voice] There's no hope.- [voice 2] You're so small.

- [woman] No!- [voice] You are worthless.

[voice 2] You are worthless!

[voice] You will neveramount to anything. [voice] You will neveramount to anything.

- [woman] Please, help me.- Huh?

- They won't leave me alone!- [Andrew] Aah! Waah!

Careful, Jesus.

There's somethingwrong with her.

It's okay, Peter.

This is why I came.

Mary Magdalene.

[Mary Magdalene whimpers]

How do you know me?

- I see you, Mary.- [angry voices whisper, echo]

- [Jesus] Be healed.- [roar of whispering voices]

[whispering stops]

[gentle music]

The voices. [gasps]

They're gone.

[Disciples] Oh! Whoa!

[Mary Magdalene sobbing]

You're him, aren't you?

You're really him!

Messiah! My King!

- [sobbing]- Don't mind me.

I'll just sit right here.

[Disciples laughing]

- [John] Welcome.- [Mary Magdalene] Thanks for coming.

Watch your step.

Please, right this way.

Come, all who are weary.

I will give you rest.

Jesus, don't do that.It's servant's work. Jesus, don't do that.It's servant's work.

Andrew, in my Kingdom,those who serve others

will be the greatest.

Welcome.

Word travels fast.

I'm not sure everyone will fit.

- Another Messiah?- This is getting old.

You, holy men!

Why are all thesepeople gathering?

Honorable Lucius, we werejust about to look into it.

Hey!

Uh-oh.

- [John panting]- John? Where are you going?

[solemn music]

Please, I must see the Messiah.

Isn't there any room?

No. I'm sorry to let you down.

[straw rustles]

"Let you down!"

Hey! I have an idea!

[Jesus] So, I say to youabove all else...

- Coming through!- [Jesus] ...love God.

- And love your neighbors.- Explain yourself!

With what authoritydo you teach these people?

I think you know.

Do you dare claimyour authority comes from above?

[straw rustles]

[all gasping]

[crowd coughing]

Room for one more?

[gentle music]

[groans]

My Messiah,I haven't lived a perfect life,

but I couldn't missthe chance to meet you.

Please, forgive my sins.

[♪]

Friend, all your sinsare forgiven. Friend, all your sinsare forgiven.

- [gasps]- Only God can forgive sins!

Do you claim to be God?

[crowd murmurs]

Which is easier to say,"Your sins are forgiven,"

or, "Be healed?"

So you know that I havethe power to forgive sins.

I say, stand and walk.

[crowd whispering]

- [grunts with effort]- [crowd gasping]

Whoa! Ah! Oh!

[crowd cheering]

- Mm!- [crowd cheering]

It's really you!

You are the Messiah!

Ha! Excuse me.

[crowd exclaiming]

[laughing]

- Oh! [laughing]- Huh? - Oh! [laughing]- Huh?

He's healed?

He did it!Jesus healed him!

- Fish boy?- "Fish boy?"

- Fish boy!- Bring him to me!

[suspenseful music]

[John panting]

Hmph!

[panting]

Whoa!

Uh...

Bye-bye.

[gasping]

Whoa! Aah!

Oof! Aah! Oof!

Whoa! Oh!

[whimpers]

Tell me about this Jesus.

[gasps]

[crowd clappingalong with music]

[Disciples laughing] [Disciples laughing]

- [Lucius] Jesus!- [coins jingling]

[foreboding music]

Hello, John.

Hi.

This boy says he serves you.

He tells me you are a manwith the power to heal.

[gasps]

[sighs heavily]

My servant,a man very dear to me,

lies dying in my home.

[coughing deeply]

And you want meto come heal him?

No.

I believe in your authority.

Thus, if you saymy servant is healed,

then he is healed.

This Roman's faith is greaterthan anyone in all Judea!

Than any of you!

Let him be healed,just as you believe.

[gasps]

Ah!

[gentle music]

What just happened?

I think Jesusjust helped our enemy.

Why would you help him?

Hmm.

Come.

Let me tell you a story.

[stick rasping in sand]

A traveler set outfrom his town upon a dark road,

unaware that thieveswaited in the shadows.

- Ha!- Oh!

[Jesus] Broken and robbed,

the traveler held out littlehope of surviving the night.

A priest happened by.

Surely, the traveler was saved.

No.

The priest moved on.

Then a holy man came by.

Surely, this timethe traveler was rescued. Surely, this timethe traveler was rescued.

And yet, he too, passed by.

Deep into the night he waited,

his hope nearly gone.

Then, he heard one lastset of footsteps.

But this time it wasno priest or a holy man.

It was his people's enemy,a Samaritan.

The Samaritan did notharm the man or leave him.

He saved the traveler.

And in so doing, he honored God

more than the priestor the holy man ever could.

Because you cannot love Godwithout loving your neighbor.

So, who is your neighbor?

[gentle music]

[coins jingling]

You dropped this.

Oh, thanks.

[coins jingle]

[footsteps approaching]

God knows your heart, Matthew.

Leave this, and follow me.

[joyful music]

[coins jingle]

[intriguing music]

It's always goodto have another option,

in case thingsdon't go as planned.

My friends, it's timewe spread the good word

of my Kingdomthroughout all Judea.

[joyful music]

[ominous music] [ominous music]

High Priest Caiaphas,thank you for meeting me.

Make this quick.What news of this Jesus?

He moves throughthe countryside,

wandering from town to town,claiming to be the Messiah.

Claiming to be God!

And yet, I don't seethe man in chains.

High Priest, no one couldperform the miracles he does

if God were not with him.

They said similar thingsabout The Baptizer.

And look what happened to him.

Sad. He seemed nice.

Nicodemus, you're a fool.

Jesus underminesthe very establishment

that keeps you in power.

Soon, thousandsfrom these countryside towns

will flock to Jerusalemfor the Passover festival.

If we don't stop Jesusfrom passing through

those city gates, the peoplewill rise up and crown him king! those city gates, the peoplewill rise up and crown him king!

Rome will lose control.

I don't serve Rome. I serve God.

[chuckles]

Search the area.

Arrest Jesus,and bring this to an end.

[gasps]

[panting]

You forget your place,Nicodemus.

I am your High Priest.

[sighs] I won't bea part of this.

Nicodemus.Nicodemus, come back.

Nicodemus! [echoing]

Ah! All this from five loaves,and two fish?

[laughs] If we hurry,

we can get to the next townbefore the storm hits.

I'll get Jesus.

[gentle music]

- [insect buzzing]- Hmm?

[giggles] I brought snacks.

- [Jesus sniffles]- Oh, uh...

Uh, are you okay?

[sighs]

[sobbing quietly]

[Jesus clears his throat]

[insect buzzing]

[sighs heavily]

Did you know The Baptizer'sreal name was John?

Like you?

I guess maybe I neverthought of him like that.

Like what?

I mean, he's thisbig voice in the wilderness.

[chuckles]

It's easy to forgethe's just a person like me.

A good person.

A good friend.

[The Baptizer] Behold!

The Lamb of God who takesaway the sins of the world.

My friend, I've cometo be baptized. My friend, I've cometo be baptized.

But Jesus, I... I can't.

You're the only onewho doesn't need to be baptized.

You've--You've never disobeyed God.

I obey God by being baptized.

Jesus, did something happen?

Hmm.

They're coming! Temple guards!They're coming for Jesus!

[gasps]

[thunderclap booms]

They arrested The Baptizer?

We need to do something!

John, they killed him.

[gasps]

They killed him?

- Why?- He spoke the truth,

and sometimes evil men silencethose who speak the truth.

[solemn music] [solemn music]

[sighs heavily]

My time draws near.

Why does that soundlike a bad thing?

[James] John! Jesus!We have to leave now!

The temple guards are coming!

- Go.- Wait, what?

- Trust me.- Come on, John.

[thunderclap booms]

[tense music]

[John] Quickly, hurry!

He told us to go on without him.

Uh, for feeding the hungry!

[all] Yeah!

And once we've gatheredhis followers,

with all the city watching,

Jesus will rideto Governor Pontius Pilate

on a mighty steed.

[crowd cheering]

Jesus will stand,

declare himself King,

and the governor will haveno choice but to say,

You are the Messiah,

the true King of all kings.

All glory is yours.

All of Jerusalem is yours.

- [cheering]- [all] Yeah!

Woo! Jerusalem!

Jesus will be raised up,and glorified!

- [all] Yeah!- I can't wait!

- Mm-hmm!- Yeah!

- [low hum of conversation]- [Jesus sighs]

Father, tonight I'm notpraying for the world. Father, tonight I'm notpraying for the world.

I'm praying for my friends.

They don't know it yet, but...

but things are about to getso much worse.

[chuckling]

Whoa! [laughing]

Soon, I'll be inyour presence once more,

glorified with you,like in the beginning.

[distant laughter]

Please, protect themwhen I'm gone,

especially the weakest.

[laughing]

[solemn music]

- What? [groans]- [laughter]

[donkey braying]

We have very differentdefinitions of mighty steed.

[sighs] Be ready for anything.

What is it?

They're all here for you,

[man 2] The Messiah is here!

[joyful music]

He turned water into wine.

He's the King of all kings!

He healed my legs.

His power and loveknow no bounds.

He fixed my stall.

It was adequate.

Jesus, my boy!

Praise him! He healed me!

[boy] Yeah!

Messiah!

Did you see that?

Jesus waved at me!

Yeah! Let's hear it!

[woman 4] Hear!

[man 4] The Messiah! [man 4] The Messiah!

How dare they call you Messiah!

[all gasp]

Silence these people now!

If not these people,

then the rocks themselveswould shout to Heaven.

It's time for all natureto celebrate.

The mute will speak.

The deaf will hear.

The blind will see.

- [man 5] Jesus is King!- [man 6] King of kings!

[woman 5] King of kings!

Ah!

[man 7] We love you, Jesus!

[grunting]

The crowd will neverlet us arrest him now.

[Caiaphas] Yes, we're quicklylosing our numbers.

Argh! We'll haveto make our move.

We just need a wayto get to him.

Leave that to me.

Even his followers have a price.

- [coins jingle]- [chuckles]

Pardon me.

Ah! Oh!

- Huh?- Ah! Oh!

Is it true what Jesus saidabout healing the blind? Is it true what Jesus saidabout healing the blind?

It's true.

Oh, I see.

Would you like to... see?

[gasps]

Jesus!

[gentle music]

Open your eyes.

[music builds]

I can see!

My Messiah!

Oh! Oh! [laughs] Yes!

Oh, do-- do look outfor that low branch up ahead.

[laughing]

[exclaiming joyfully]

[Simon] This is it!

It's time to gatherthe Messiah's followers.

Jerusalem will be ours again!

[Disciples cheering]

It'll be ours! Jerusalem!

Yeah! [laughs]

- Everyone's here to see it.- The best day of my life. - Everyone's here to see it.- The best day of my life.

Whatever you're going to do...

Do it quickly.

Jesus! Did you seethat crowd today?

They loved you!

Jesus, really.

What is it?

Please, sit.

For ages, you have sacrificedyour best lambs

as a temporary paymentfor disobeying God.

Now I offer myselfas the ultimate payment.

My body,

and blood.

[Disciples] What? Hmm?

- I don't understand.- What did he mean?

- Why did he say--- His body?

I don't understand.

What does this have to dowith you becoming King?

John, now is the timefor me to be glorified.

I won't be with you much longer.

- What?- Huh?

- What--What?- What does that mean?

- This doesn't make any sense.- So I leave you with this.

Love one another the same wayI've loved you. Love one another the same wayI've loved you.

Share my love with the world,

and God will bless you for it.

What? Where are you going?

We'll all follow you anywhere.

My friends, one of youwill betray me tonight.

- [gasps]- What?

[all] No! It can't be. Oh, no!

That'll never happenon my watch.

Peter, you,out of all my Disciples,

will deny you even know me.

[chuckles] That's not true.

Three times, before the roostercrows tomorrow morning.

I'll suffer many things atthe hands of the chief priests.

They'll condemn me to death,

deliver me to the Romansto be mocked,

whipped, and killed.

[all] What? No! Whatare you saying?

And after three days,I'll return.

- Why are you telling us that?- I refuse to believe it!

- Jesus, no!- You have to listen to us.

- I can't believe that!- Enough.

Come, let's returnto the garden of Gethsemane.

[ominous music]

[coins jingle]

I'll show Jesus.

- We'll protect him.- Wait!

[Peter] We can hide himin the garden,

until it's timeto sound the attack.

Peter, I saw something.

Oh...

[Peter] John, come on!

[crickets chirping]

All clear.

Thank you, Peter.

I need to pray.

Stay here, and keep watch.

You can count on us, Jesus.

Wait, Jesus.

What was that back there? What was that back there?

Why are you talking about dying?

Are you going to defeatthe Romans or not?

No.

So you're just gonna let themkill you?

I thought you cameto fix things.

To make things right.

I did.

John, in the storiesyour mother used to tell you,

what was the worst thingthat happened in the garden?

[John] We disobeyed God,

and then darknessentered the world.

[Jesus] No.

You disobeyed God, and darknessentered your hearts.

I didn't come just to fixa broken world, John.

I came to fix your brokenrelationship with God.

The only way to free youfrom darkness

is for someone free of darknessto die in your place.

The perfect sacrifice.

You.

[solemn music]

This is how I'm glorified.

[John sobs]

This is how darknessis defeated. This is how darknessis defeated.

But I don't want you to die.

[sobbing]

John, my death is not the end.

It's the beginning.

I'm choosing this.

And I'm asking you to trust me.

[music swells]

[♪]

Father, please let thissuffering pass from me.

But if this sufferingcan't be taken away,

please give methe strength to do it.

[♪]

[foreboding music]

[Jesus sighs]

[Disciples snoring]

[John sighs]

[footsteps rustling]

Ah!

It's time.

[Disciples gasping]

[ominous music]

[gasping]

Which one?

[coins jingle]

Judas?

No.

They were closing in.

I chose another option. I chose another option.

Judas, you betrayyour friend with a kiss.

[Judas gasps]

Your friend?

Take him!

Not on my watch!

[fighting grunts]

[Jesus] Peter!

That was never whatI needed from you.

Those who live by the sworddie by the sword.

I could have called uponmy Father at any point.

He would have wiped outall our enemies.

Here, let me help you.

[somber music]

Wha--

Take him!

[whimpers] No!

[panting] [panting]

And arrest the others.

John, come on!

Peter!

Peter!

[tense music]

Get out of here, now!

Come on, Peter.

Come on, let's go.

[tense music]

[doors thud loudly]

I'll go see what's going on.

[sighs]

We can still save him.

Go wait by the fire.

Huh! Your followinghas grown, I see.

King of kings, they call you.

Do you have nothingto say for yourself?

I heard the people call you the...

[woman] The Messiah.

You're one of hisfollowers, right?

Uh, no, no, you're mi--you're mistaken.

[Pharisee] Speak up!

Are you the son of God or not?

[Jesus] I am who you say I am.

Speak up! I heard himcall you one of his Disciples.

I'm not who you think I am.

I saw him with Jesus, too.

He should be in therewith Jesus.

[Pharisee] He's no king.He's just another false prophet.

See, you have now heardthe blasphemy.

What do you think?

He deserves death!

I heard Jesus call youhis friend.

[man] Yeah, he's oneof his followers.

- Tell the Pharisees.- We're not friends.

You have to listen to me.

I swear, I don't knowthat man in there!

Ah!

- [rooster crows]- [gasps]

No.

Oh...

Take himto Governor Pontius Pilate.

No!

[Peter sobbing]

Peter?

Ah!

[Pontius Pilate] What is it now?

[Jesus groans]

Please forgive the intrusion,Governor Pilate.

We, your humble servants, havecaught this criminal, Jesus.

Then use your own lawsto punish him.

I'm busy with the affairsof Rome.

Sir, he is a threat to Rome.

The people declare himKing of the Jews.

King of all kings.

Above our own Emperor Caesar.

Is it true?

Are you King of all kings?

My Kingdom is not of this world.

Ha! So you are a king, then.

This man has developeda large following.

They could revolt.

Remove you from power.

Have you no defense?

Don't you realize I havethe power to decide your fate?

You would have no power over me

if it were not given to youby my Father.

I speak the truth.

What is truth?

I see no fault with this man.

But, once a year,

for your littlePassover festival,

we allow your people to chooseone prisoner to set free.

Have him beaten, and letthe crowds decide his fate.

I wash my handsof the whole affair.

[Jesus groans]

[crowd murmuring loudly]

[cheering, applause]

Now is the time.

- [crowd gasping]- [Jesus groans]

No, Jesus!

- [guard] Get up!- [Jesus groans]

[crows gasping]

[gasps]

[crowd whispering]

[crowd booing]

[prisoner grunting]

Your high priests tell me thatthis man is guilty of rebellion.

But I am a governorof the people.

I shall let you decide.

Shall I releasethis Messiah, Jesus,

or this murderer, Barabbas?

[laughing maniacally] [laughing maniacally]

They said the Messiahwould be a warrior.

Does that manlook like a warrior?

What kind of charlatan claimsto be the Son of God himself?

Look at him. He's weak.

- He's weak!- No.

- He's not our King.- No, please stop.

I heard he wantsto tear down our temple.

He should pay.

- Make him pay!- No!

[man] False prophet!

He claims to be king.

Please stop!

Ah!

He is the Messiah!

I'm telling the truth.

Jesus, please.

Now's your time.

Tell them.

Declare yourself King,and we'll follow you forever.

Jesus.

Well, are you their king?

[Jesus sighs]

[Caiaphas] Crucify him!

[crowd shouting]Crucify him! He's not our King!

No! No!

Jesus, please.

- [man] False prophet!- [woman] Crucify him!

[man 2] Free Barabbas!

[man 3] False prophet.

[man 4] False prophet!

- [man 5] Seize him!- [man 6] Liar!

[woman] Crucify him!

[man 7] He's not our King!

[crowd cheering]

[somber music]

[Lucius] I'll take himfrom here.

Ah!

Huh?

Go home.

You shouldn't have to bearwitness to what happens next. You shouldn't have to bearwitness to what happens next.

[somber music]

[crows cawing]

[crowd shouting]

[man] He's not our King.

[man 2] Kill Jesus!

[whip snaps]

[Jesus groans]

[gasps]

[crowd shouting]

Jesus!

- Ah.- No!

Jesus.

[crowd shouting]

[gasps]

Move.

- [Jesus groans]- Get up.

[crowd shouting]

[Jesus sighs]

Hmph!

[groans]

[guard] Out of the way.

Let's go.

[crowd shouting]

Keep moving.

[somber music]

[Mary] My boy!

My boy.

No!

No.

[♪]

[crows cawing]

He could stop this. He could stop this.

He could call on God.

- He could defeat--- [Mary] He's not gonna do that, John.

When Jesus was born,a prophet told me that my son

would be the lightof all Israel.

My little boy would changethe world.

But the cost would be...

The cost would be like a swordpiercing my soul.

And I'm so, so thankful.

Thankful?

I got to be his motherfor his whole life.

And now...

he needs meto be there with him.

She's right.

We can't leave him now.

Move!

[Jesus groans]

Father, forgive them.

They know not what they do. They know not what they do.

- [John gasps]- [Jesus screams]

[Mary] No!

- [hammer thuds]- [Jesus screams]

[somber music]

Ah!

No!

[sobbing]

[sobbing echoes]

You're the son of God.

Call down your fatherand save us.

Silence!

We deserve this.

But that man is innocent.

Messiah, please remember me,when you pass into your kingdom.

Today, you will be with mein paradise. Today, you will be with mein paradise.

[♪]

[sobs]

It is finished.

[Jesus sighs]

[sobbing]

[thunder booms]

[tense music]

[sobbing]

Jesus.

Ah... truly, this manwas the Son of God.

[Joseph] Excuse me. [Joseph] Excuse me.

My name is Joseph of Arimathea.

My family tombis the largest in Jerusalem.

Fit for a King, you could say.

I do hope it is, for I offerit now to my King.

Thank you.

[somber music]

[Mary sighs]

[sighs]

[gasps] Zebedee!

Oh!

[gasps]

[gentle music]

- Could you help me with this?- Got it.

- Oh, yeah. Oh! Ah.- Wow.

[water splashing]

Are we really supposed to justgo back to our old lives?

What do we do now?

You're asking me?

[sighs] I don't know what to do.

But someone once told methat God rarely shows up

in the way we think he will.

Jesus won't leave usin the dark.

John, he died. John, he died.

That was the point.

His death isn't the end.

It's the beginning.

[gasps]

[Jesus] How's the fishing?

Uh, it's pretty bad.

[Jesus] Drop the net offthe far side of the boat.

It's Him. It's Him!

- It's Him!- He's back!

- Cast the nets!- Here, quick!

Go, go, go!

[all grunting with effort]

[seagulls crying]

[all laughing]

[all] Yeah!

It can't be.

[laughs]

[John] In the beginning,was nothing but darkness.

Then God said,"Let there be light."

He made us in His image.

And we lived with Himin a perfect garden.

But we disobeyed Him.

We chose darkness,and it filled our hearts.

We lost our relationshipwith Him.

But God did not abandon us.

He sent us a mighty King,the Messiah.

He didn't come to conquer.

He came to serve.

He didn't come to defeatour enemies.

He came to show ushow to love them.

He didn't come to condemn usin our darkness.

But to fill us with His light,and lead us back to God.

He is the onewho defeated death.

He is the one who rose again.

He is... my friend.

[wind gusts loudly]

I will be with you always.

[joyful music]

[John] He is the lightof the world.

[♪] [♪]

[Zebedee] John!

John!

I ran.

[laughs] I can see you ran.

I ran out of reasonsnot to believe.

I see now.

It was your faith in Jesus

that always led you downthe right path.

Even when everything seemedhopeless, you believed.

I'm ready.

But how do I...

It starts with a prayer.

Jesus, you died upon a cross.

Jesus, you diedupon a cross.

And rose again to save the lost.

And rose againto save the lost.

Come be my Savior,Lord, and friend. Come be my Savior,Lord, and friend.
