Rabbi.

[apostles speaking Hebrew]

[speaks Hebrew]

Thank you, Mark.

Now go down and enjoy
the Seder meal with your parents.

Are you sure? I'm here to serve.

I'll handle it.

Yes, Rabbi.

[Jesus] Everybody, welcome.

Tonight will be a night to remember.

After we eat together,

we will go to Gethsemane

where we will spend some time
in prayer and reflection.

But

before all that…

let us enjoy this beautiful table
Peter and John have prepared for us

and begin the remembrance, hmm?

Rabbi, that boy Mark said
that a servant would be up shortly

to help with washing our feet.

Yes, some of us are
still pretty filthy from the walk.

- Rabbi, what are you doing?
- Please, sit. Each of you.

Sit where?

At your places at the table. [chuckles]

- No, sorry, I just…
- Rabbi, you do not need to do this.

I don't understand how…

[chattering]

My friends, my friends.

Tonight is our last meal together.

Will you just please do as I say,
and not object, for once?

Thank you, James.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Thank you, Rabbi.

[Jesus] Thomas?

Rabbi.

It's all right, Thomas. Please.

[groans]

Thank you.

Are you sure?

Yes, Little James, I'm sure.

Please.

How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,

publishes peace,

and proclaims salvation.

[sniffles]

Judas.

- Rabbi, I…
- It's your turn.

Uh…

Ra--

Thank you… Rabbi.

My turn. Please, sit.

Peter…

Lord, you would wash my feet?

No, this doesn't make any sense.

What I am doing, you don't understand now,

but afterward you will.

Master…

we should have done this ourselves,
and we're sorry for our pride.

But I am telling you,
you will never wash my feet.

Brother, just do what he says.

Listen carefully.

No more of this.

Moving forward,
you need to trust me more than ever,

even if you have no understanding yet.

I mean this.

If I do not wash you,
you have no share with me.

You cannot be part of what I am doing.

Well, in that case, Lord…

wash not my feet only,
but also my hands and my head.

[chuckles]

[sniffles]

[snorts]

Sometimes Peter is still Simon.

- Peter, did you bathe this morning?
- Yes.

Then only your feet need to be washed now.

And that will be enough.

Please… sit. Come.

Besides, you all understand,

I'm not talking about
literal cleanliness, right?

I'm setting you an example.

You call me Teacher and Lord…

and rightly so.

If, then, I, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet…

then you, also,
should wash one another's feet.

When you go out into the world
to spread my message,

this is how you are to lead.

As servants, with humility.

You will set aside any pride or ego
in order to love and serve others.

Friends and enemies alike.

Enemies?

Even tonight.

What is that supposed to mean?

[chattering in distance]

[grunting]

What is this?

I'm almost finished.
One moment. I don't want to forget.

Forget what?
Why are you setting this table?

My vision. It needs to match my vision.

- Your "vision" vision?
- Yes.

Do you remember three years ago
when I told you

Adonai gave me a dream about this house
when we were living in Bethany?

- When you were looking--
- Yes, I chose this house

because it matched your dream.

I had another one last night.

It was just as clear, and I knew
just as much that it was from Adonai.

Mark, only time will tell if you--

No, Abba, this was clear.
I saw three things.

This room,
with this table set just like this.

I also saw you.

I'm listening.

Two young men are talking to you,
and one said very clearly…

I can still see him saying it.

"Our teacher's time is at hand."

And?

That's all he said

- at least in what I saw.
- What does that mean?

- I'm just telling you what I saw.
- I don't understand.

And then I also saw me at the well.

Carrying a jar.

Now it definitely doesn't make sense.

Your eema is the only one who goes
to the well. She's going later today.

- I'm just telling you what I saw.
- What you saw.

I get it. Let's go.

We're stopping by Solomon's Porch
to see if there's more preaching today.

Come.

[crowd chattering]

JESUS IS MESSIAH

- Oh, no.
- What?

Our home has been vandalized.

But I believe it.

- Don't you?
- Doesn't matter what we think!

This kind of thing
will get our entire family in trouble.

If it said "king," the authorities would
have already broken our doors down.

If he is the Messiah,
then he's the king of everything.

Do not speak those words out loud,
especially out here.

You said yourself, you've been
lately plagued in your heart,

and in your sleep by--

This is a fraught time,
and I can't put our family at risk.

Please.

I'll get some soap.

Here. Your eema is at the market.
Go get some water to wash this off. Go.

Happy to.

[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

- [customer] Please, may I have something?
- One?

- [customer] Just one.
- Yes, sir.

Stay dressed for action
and keep your lamps burning.

And be like men who are waiting
for their master to come home

from the wedding feast, so that
they may open the door to him at once

when he comes and knocks.

Blessed are those servants
whom the master finds awake when he comes.

Truly, I say to you,
he will dress himself for service

and have them recline at table,
and he will come and serve them.

You must also be ready,

for the Son of Man is coming
at an hour you do not expect.

- [Big James] Come.
- Stay awake.

[chattering]

What's so important? Was I that bad?
It's my fifth sermon today.

I've been at it since dawn.
People have been eating it up.

Peter, we are being followed.

We're always being followed.
Better us than him.

That man over there is with Kafni,
who's around here somewhere.

He's either not good at hiding, or
he didn't think I'd remember who he was.

They're working with the Romans?

This is bad.

Come on, let's get out of here quickly.

What's going on? Hey. What happened?

Don't say anything.

- [scoffs] Excuse me?
- Is Jesus here?

- He's in the courtyard.
- We'll tell you what's going on soon.

We just don't want him to walk in.
I don't want him to know.

- James, he knows everything.
- What are they doing?

Oh, there wasn't enough space
for the triclinium table, for the Seder.

We can't have Passover here.
This is a Gentile house.

There's pagan myth statues outside.

We don't even know
where to look for the leaven.

- What do you propose we do?
- If only there was someone we could ask.

Come on.

Hey. [sighs]

Um, Master, we…

We don't want to interrupt
or bother you. Just a quick question.

I'm not bothered.
It's good to see you, Peter.

I hear you've been preaching.

- Yeah.
- I'm glad to hear it.

- Did you want me to start preaching too?
- Oh, you will. In time.

- Is that what you came to ask?
- No.

Uh, Passover begins tonight.

Passover.

Already?

Yes, that's why we're cleaning.

- Every time.
- Oh.

- Sorry, I…
- [Jesus laughs]

- Got me.
- Come on.

- [James] They don't tell me these things.
- So, Rabbi, Phoebe's house is large,

but it's not exactly

Seder-friendly.

Yeah.

We'll do it somewhere else.

Where?

Peter, John, go to the southern portion
of the Upper City.

A young man
carrying a jar of water will meet you.

- A young man?
- It's usually women carrying the water,

but that's how you'll be able to spot him.

Follow him, and wherever he enters,
say to the master of the house,

"The Teacher says, 'My time is at hand.'

Where may I eat the Passover
with my disciples?"

And he will show you
a large upper room, furnished and ready.

Prepared for us.

Does that answer your question?

Yes, it… it does

in a surprisingly detailed way.

If it sounds strange in the moment,

trust me, all these things
will make sense in time.

We believe you.
Let's tell the others. Come on.

Rabbi, I…

If it's all right, I'd like
to take some time alone and pray.

Of course.

No, no. Sweep over there, please.

Thaddeus, go with them,
and bring back word of the specifics.

- The specifics?
- I'll explain on the way.

Everyone, stop what you're doing
and come here.

- We need to talk.
- This better be quick.

Passover is tonight.

We've barely just begun to clear
any trace of leaven out of this house.

- We're not having Seder supper here.
- Oh, thank God!

There's no way to make enough room,
no matter how we arrange the furniture.

Seriously, did this woman
ever have dinner parties?

I'll get straight to the point.

Ramah's father, Kafni,

- he has men following us, tracking us.
- You saw them?

Yes, and they're in league
with Roman soldiers.

- That is terrible news for us.
- Are they armed?

- Are we?
- Should we be?

Peter and John have gone
to secure a place for the Seder.

When time comes, we cannot be seen
as a group traveling to this location.

- It's too dangerous.
- What do we do?

Everyone leaves in staggered intervals.
Take misleading routes.

Long roundabout ways.

- To throw them off the scent.
- Exactly.

When Thaddeus comes back with
the exact location, we will make a plan.

Someone will have to tell Judas.

- Where's Judas?
- He went out.

- Out? Where?
- Am I my brother's keeper?

Oh, we're quoting Cain now? Not Abel?

- It's just what came to my mind.
- What a mind.

Just explain the plan to him
when he gets back.

Okay.

[sibling] Judas?

Judas, Judas.

Devorah?

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Looking? What do you…

Raif and I and the girls
were there, singing with the palms

when you walked into town behind him,

but the crowds were so big,
I couldn't reach you.

- You were… You were waving palms?
- Everyone was.

Judas, you've done it. You really did it.

- I did?
- You were right.

For once in your life, you were so right,
and I can't believe I doubted you.

He's really the one.

He's the Messiah,
and you're following him.

I'll never live down
trying to dissuade you.

Well, you were
just being my big sister, is all.

And I've been wrong about things before.

Nothing will be wrong ever again.

He's here.

Judas, I'm so proud of you.

Abba and Eema would be so proud.

If only they could see this day.
Adonai in heaven.

Oh, and tonight is the Seder.
Do you have a place to…

Uh, with him, of course.

I'm not supposed to say where.

Oh, certainly, certainly.

I understand he must be kept safe
for the… big moment.

Do you know?

When it will happen?

- When?
- It must be soon. It has to be.

Devorah, I've… I've learned
this thing about the word soon.

- It's not…
- No, I'm onto you.

- What?
- I can tell when you're hiding something.

You know when it will be. You know.

Well, I do.

Of course, but I can't say.

- It's…
- It has to be tonight, right?

I mean,
it would fulfill all the prophecies.

On the night of the Passover?

My… My lips are sealed, Devorah.

I'll just watch and wait and see.

Yeah.

- Listen, I have to get going, and…
- Oh, yes, you do. [laughs]

All your life has led to this moment.

[laughs] I'm so excited,
I don't know how I'll sleep tonight.

I…

I don't know either.

Judas, you look worried.

Me?

No, no, no, I'm all right.

There's just a lot…
a lot happening, you know?

I can imagine.

Or, no, I can't. I can't begin to imagine.
[laughing]

Go. Go do what you have to do.

I will.

I must.

You must.

I love you, brother.

You were right.

The name Iscariot won't be forgotten.

I've really done it.

Or I'm really going to do it.

- I love you. I… I have to go.
- Go, go. [laughs]

[chattering]

Excuse me, can you point us to
the nearest well in this part of the city?

It's just around that corner.

Thank you.

- That must be him.
- You think?

Should we talk to him?

[Peter] No, we'd probably scare him.

Master told us
to talk to the owner of the house.

Let's follow him, but… Mmm.

[ominous music playing]

- Come.
- Please, come try.

Make sure to scrub it all off, okay?

"Jesus is Messiah."

This is definitely the house.

You think?

- Huh. Maybe not.
- Only one way to find out.

Wait, we don't know
what kind of enemies they might be.

- We followed a man with a jar.
- And there's the master of the house.

Thaddeus,
go back and tell the others where it is.

Come on.

Shalom.

- Shalom.
- Are you the master of this house?

[grunts] Yes, but I had nothing to do
with this, and we are cleaning it off.

Yes, we know you didn't do it.

Do you know who did it?

- Was it you?
- Abba.

No, but we do have a message.

A question from the person
whose name is written on your house.

Jesus has a question for me?

Abba.

The Teacher asks, "My time is at hand.

Where is my guest room,

where I may eat the Passover
with my disciples?"

Abba, those are the men from last night.

[chuckles]

I'm having a moment.

Oh. Of course, you are.

Think about where we started, Peter.

Feels like yesterday
and a lifetime ago, at the same time.

You and I,
up all night on those boats together.

Before we encountered
the Creator of the Universe.

Thanks for…

helping, by the way.

Worked out nicely for me.

It did.

And now we are preparing
the Seder meal in the Holy City,

with ten brothers,
and we'll be led by the Christ himself,

who just so happens to be our Rabbi.

Do you think that this bread
will be good enough for him?

And you should know,

the house is completely cleaned of
any leaven. I checked again.

Listen, friend,

the Son of God told us specifically
to follow you and come here.

You're good.

My dream was so clear.

This is what I saw.
I just… I can't believe it's for him.

- I saw this table, and this room, and…
- Yes, yes, you told us.

It's very exciting.

And you will keep it in this room?

Each of you?

I beg discretion of you.

Yes, you told us.

You know, no one wants this more discreet
than we do.

[scoffs] I doubt that.

All right.

[exhales sharply] All right.

Oh, there's more. I'll be back.

Yeah.

It's quite a thing.

God gave him a vision.

No, no, I mean what you said.

We're preparing a Seder meal
for the Christ.

I'm with you, man.

But Mark's vision too.

And how his father
immediately agreed to host,

when he's so obviously paranoid.

This is for sure led by Adonai,
so clearly prescribed by Jesus.

So why aren't you smiling?

I was going to ask that very same thing.

[pensive music playing]

I've been paying attention, Peter.

And I feel like
I'm starting to understand him more.

Which is drawing us closer, but…

I'm still missing some things.

Such as,
why he has arranged all of this tonight,

and why we are here right now.

Yes, but we set the table anyway.

Yes.

Even though I'm blind as to why.

[sighs]

But… I do understand this.

He is…

He is…

…sad.

[sighs]

[tense music playing]

[bleating]

Barricade the door. Hurry, they're coming.

- [soldier 1] Open up.
- We're trapped.

There must be a way out back.

No, we're not going down like that.
We swore an oath to the order.

- [soldier 1] Zealot vermin.
- [soldier 2] We know you're in there.

[soldier 1] Open the door.

- Open the door.
- It won't hold.

Then we will fight or die martyrs
like our brethren before us.

[soldier 1] Again.

Open. [shouts]

Simon, help us.

[soldier 1] Filthy rats.

No.

- Go out the back. I'll fight them alone.
- But our mission is not done.

Micah, you have many more missions
to complete.

Save yourselves,
so you can carry them out,

and continue the work
of the Fourth Philosophy.

We need men like you.

- [soldier 1] Again.
- Go. Now.

- We will sing songs about your valor.
- I said, go.

- [soldier 1] Strike.
- Run.

[solder 1] Filthy cowards. Open up. Again.

- [banging on door continues]
- [breathes deeply, shouts]

- I'm ready to meet God.
- [soldier 1] Now.

Cowards, reveal yourselves. Again.

[soldier 2] Get out.

- [soldier 1] One more.
- [soldier shouts]

[breathing shakily]

[sobbing]

[tense music playing]

[chickens clucking]

Seven strings, pure bronze pegs,
turtle shell from Greece, great resonance.

Hear this?

What?

- [person] Nathanael?
- [gasps]

Aren't you supposed to be
studying for your test?

I have been, sir.
Sorry, I was just taking a break.

This came for you in the mail today.

Thank you.

[Philip] My friend, as you are, no doubt,
at this very moment,

buried in academic proofs
and the life's work of others,

our God is doing for you

what all the studying in the world
could not.

Making you a friend I miss greatly.

A testament to the heights men can reach.

And a unique pain as a companion.

John says, we are making the way
straight and wide.

It is glorious,
but do not wish you were here.

Not yet.

Study hard.

Your time to help build this road
will come.

Shalom, shalom.

Philip.

[tense music playing]

[chattering]

Clear the way.
Everybody, move to the side.

King Herod's carriage coming through.

- Move.
- [soldier 1] Get out of the way.

- [soldier 2] Move.
- [soldier 3] Move, all of you.

- [soldier 4] Make straight the way.
- [solider 1] Clear out.

Don't just stand there.

- All of this, gone.
- Go.

Clear the path.

- You, clear the way.
- You're in the way.

- Go, go.
- Go.

Make way.

Everyone, move.

[Philip] See this?

Hey, Avner.

Look at this.

For the last time, I need these roads
as wide as possible.

What are you doing?
Move. Move out of the way. Move.

[shouting]

[horses neighing]

You. What right have you
to deface this sacred land?

Uprooting our trees,
displacing Jewish citizens?

We're making way for the entourage
of a very important person coming to town.

Not that we owe you an explanation.

I'll tell you about
a very important person coming to town.

Oh, yes he will.

If this is about another one of
your prophets, I don't wanna hear it.

He didn't ask
if you wanted to hear about it.

He is the voice
of the one crying in the wilderness.

Prepare the way of the Lord.
Make his paths straight.

And I'm the voice of one telling you

we're making a path straight
for someone real.

- Not from your imagination.
- This is beyond your imagination.

I would advise you
to be vigilant and humble,

because he who is coming
is mightier than I.

I'm not even worthy
to untie the strap of his sandals.

I'm mightier than you.
Move your group out of here.

Even now,
the ax is laid at the root of the trees.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit
is struck down and thrown into the fire.

You know why people
don't listen to freaks like you?

Because you deal in riddles.

I came to bear witness about
the coming light to my own people,

the House of Israel.

- Mmm.
- But to you, what I would say is,

do not extort money from anyone,
through threats or by false accusation,

and be content with your wages.

Ah. You hear that?
Be content with your wages.

How much longer do you guys go?

I gotta fish in two days.

- You've got fish?
- No, I… I wish.

No, I have to travel back to Galilee
and fish with my brother.

I can't stay with you guys all the time.

We've got… taxes to pay.

Taxes are a man-made construct,

built from
the mutually agreed-upon fallacy

that gold has any eternal value.

[chuckles]

I like that.

- And no, we won't go much longer.
- Oh, thank God.

"Even now,
the ax is laid to the root of the trees."

"Even now." You know what that means?

It means the Messiah is here, near.

Somewhere in Israel, around us,
waiting to inaugurate his ministry.

Does this kingdom include food?

It includes feasts.

- How soon?
- That is a useless question.

I'm starving.
I'm so hungry, I can't think straight.

- Why didn't you say something?
- Say something?

We have plenty of food.

Then why is everyone around here
as gaunt as a mongoose?

- Not just any food. Delicacies.
- Mmm.

- Hold on.
- What?

Fried in olive oil, then dried,
simmered with a bit of wild honey.

Andrew, I give to you…

[Avner] Mmm,

candied locusts.

[tense music playing]

[Avner] Mmm.

- [soldier 1] Clear the way.
- [soldier 2] Move aside.

- [soldier 3] Move to the side.
- [soldier 2] Move. Now.

[soldier 3] King Herod's carriage
coming through. Clear the way.

Hey, watch where you're going.

- I'm sorry. Let me.
- Look.

Fine.

- [vendor] Give it to me.
- [pedestrian] Forgive me.

[vendor] Give it to me.

[groans softly]

- Abba?
- Thomas.

We want to tell you something.
Are you awake enough to listen carefully?

Last night, I went with your uncles,
Didyus and Judas,

to retrieve the money we were owed

for the heifer
we sold to Tolomai and his sons.

There was an argument.

Tolomai was abusive to Didyus.
His sons had weapons.

Judas was hurt, but not seriously.

I will have to answer many questions.

I stopped your uncles from being hurt.

Do you understand, Thomas?

I may not see you for a while,
but I love you.

I love you, Thomas.

- No, no.
- Don't move.

- [spouse crying] No.
- Get down.

- Jedidiah.
- Never forget, I love you, Thomas.

- [soldier] Quiet.
- [Jedidiah] Take care of your eema.

Do you hear me, Thomas?

Get up, Jew. All right, go. Go!

- Move.
- Thomas.

[tense music playing]

Excuse me.

Sorry, sorry.

Pardon me.

[somber music playing]

Oh!

Traitor.

Soldier. Soldier!

Soldier!

Are you just going to stand there
and do nothing?

We only intervene if weapons get involved,
or someone causes disruption.

This is disruptive.
I… I cannot finish the day.

- I need to go home and wash.
- No.

Can't even make it
through your first day on the job.

There are a lot of people
waiting for you to fall.

You are unlikely to find five willing and
qualified candidates in all of Capernaum.

Probably true.

What, did you expect for people to
congratulate you on your multiplication?

I thought you were here to protect me.

If he threatens the money,
that is a different story.

Now get back to work.
You're holding up the line.

Next. Let's go. Next.

Just wait.

- This is disgusting.
- Then get new clothes.

You can afford nice ones now.

It's all part of the bargain, um, Matthew.

You lose friends, but you gain money.

- I don't have friends.
- [Gaius] Well, even better.

Then you don't lose anything at all,
you only gain.

You got a wife?

No. You?

Yes, a wife, a son, and a servant boy.

Now that I will have money,
should I also hire a servant boy?

Well, we did not exactly hire him.

It is a long story.

Don't ask questions about
my personal life. It is unprofessional.

- You asked if I was married.
- I get to ask whatever I want.

I'm going to be watching for you
when you get out of work.

No threats. Move along, rat.

Next person in line.
Hold for one moment. Back.

[sighs] Listen up.

You don't look like
you've been in many fist fights.

What's that supposed to mean?

The last Jew that defected
and took this job

got his teeth knocked out by a fisherman

on his way home the first day.

Hey, look, I do not care if you get
beaten to death by your Jewish brethren.

I don't care if you die in your sleep,

or if somebody chases you down on a horse.

You get the point?

But, if something happens to you
while you are working,

Quintus will punish me
by making me do your job

until he finds a replacement.

And I don't like sitting,
and I do not like math.

It's why I soldier. Soldier good, get it?

Then maybe you should escort me home
for protection.

- Not part of my job.
- [sighs]

What you're going to do with your
newly acquired salary is hire a driver

who can smuggle you back and forth
from work in a cart, hidden like cargo.

In fact, I've already arranged for him
to pick you up

at the end of your shift today.

Next.

Gaius?

What?

Thank you for the driver.

Looking out for my interests,
not yours. I'm no hero.

I understand how to do a job like this,

but there are
a lot of things in this world

that I do not understand,
no matter how hard I try,

and for some reason,
people don't explain it to me,

because they think I'm…

different.

I think there's something wrong with me.

You are right about that.

Look, I will tell you what I see.

But I promise nothing.

Excellent.

I'm very proud of you all.
You are well prepared for your vocation.

You'll make fine cantors
in the synagogues of Israel.

Congratulations, Benjamin.

In which town
will you take position as a cantor?

Jabesh-Gilead.

Ah.

A fine city.

- And you, Eliab?
- Chorazin.

Chorazin.

Lovely view in the highlands up there.

James, let me guess.

Maybe someplace small.

Maybe Nazareth.

Bethsaida?

- Jerusalem.
- Very funny.

Cana? Magdala?

Lot of open positions in the North.

I said, Jerusalem.

I'm going to join the 288,
the Temple Choir.

James, step over here a moment.

A moment.

You have a very fine voice, young James,
and I'm proud to have been your teacher.

So what's the problem?

Read here, from the Third Book of Moses.

"For no one who has a blemish
shall draw near.

A man blind or lame,

or one who has a mutilated face or…

with a limb too long,

or a man with an injured foot,
or an injured hand,

or a hunchback, or a dwarf,
or a man with a defect in his sight."

This is all just restrictions
for the priests.

The offspring of Aaron.

I know, and in time,
they have extended to any man serving

in ritual temple services
visible to the public.

Okay, so I'll stand near the back
of the choir.

No one will even notice.

I'm sorry, James.

The Levite choir director
has a very strict policy

for the appearance of his singers.

He will assume you or your parents sinned,

that you were born with this.

Once he hears me sing,
he'll make an exception.

This… this is my calling.

I'll put down Bethany.

It's so close to Jerusalem.
Close enough, my boy.

- Take what you can get.
- No!

I don't need your certificate.

I'll go to Jerusalem
and I'll sing for him myself.

James, be realistic.

I don't want you
to travel all the way to Jerusalem,

only to have your dreams crushed.

[flint sparking]

Come on.

Come on.

Ah. There we go.

No, no, no, come on.

[flint sparking]

Okay.

[grunting]

[shivering]

[footsteps approaching]

Oh, oh!

I don't have any money.
I don't have anything.

It's okay. I'm not trying to rob you.
Everything's fine. You're fine.

Thank God.

I was so worried you were
a dead body by the side of the road.

My Rabbi and I were passing by.

It's cold. You shouldn't be sleeping
on the ground without a fire or shelter.

Where are you going?

Jerusalem.

Jerusalem?

You've got a long way to go.

Yeah, and what's it to you?

Hey, what's your name?

James.

James.

Mmm.

First things first, James.

Let's get this fire going.

Keep you warm.

- Rabbi.
- And then, ah…

Mind if I sit?

Sure.

Okay.

Then…

I'd love to hear your story.

[chuckles]

Are you angels?

[chuckles] Uh, no.

I mean…

- [Little James chuckles]
- No, we're not angels.

Just craftsmen.

You shouldn't be alone out here.

I'm just going to Jerusalem…

Boys?

What is it?

Nothing yet.

Wait.

[tense music playing]

- What?
- Shh.

Roman soldiers, approaching the house.

No, no, no.

Clear.

Where is Thaddeus?

How could he get lost? He's the one
who told you all how to get here.

- Who said he's lost?
- Maybe he's taking a really long way.

- Because he's being followed?
- He's being careful.

What if Kafni's men got him?

Maybe he's waiting back to make sure
that Jesus finds his way.

Pretty sure Jesus doesn't need Thaddeus
to show him the way here.

Maybe Thaddeus didn't want
to leave Phoebe's house without Jesus.

I should've been the one to stay back.

I would've followed Jesus at a distance,
kept an eye out.

Maybe
that's exactly what Thaddeus is doing.

Never underestimate that kid.
