quick heads up

is the bin jesus hoodie is not going to

be available much longer

we're just going to take it down from

the store we've got too many things in

the store right now

we're going to take down the vintage

jesus partially because this will be our

last opportunity to bind jesus together

for a little while because episode

of the episodes come out

individually okay one last thing before

we start episode one

just skip the trailer for tomorrow okay

so my nose is itching look we're live

we're we're authentic here this is what

we do so

if i belch or if i scratch my nose

that's the breaks okay

so uh first of all uh before we start i

say first of all like i haven't said

18 things already i'm dallas jenkins

welcome nice to meet you if we haven't

met yet uh

really appreciate that you're here so

let's get right into episode one

of season one of the chosen if you've

seen it already don't give it too many

spoilers

or say spoiler alert before you say

something um and if you haven't

just want to let you know yes this is a

jesus show but when you don't see jesus

for a little while on episode 1 don't

get too scared

don't think i thought this was a jesus

show okay yes this is a jesus show

but jesus doesn't show up until near the

end of episode one and when he does i

promise you it's gonna be worth it it's

gonna be great

but episode one of this show is designed

to be a setup and you have to kind of

see some of the

struggles that people are going through

if you don't go through some of the

struggles with them then the victories

uh don't mean as much they're not as

impactful if you don't

identify with their questions you're not

going to identify with the answer

if you don't identify with and connect

with their problems you're not going to

identify with a solution

so watch this episode like you would the

episode the first episode of any other

show

okay when you sit down to watch the

first episode of a new show you don't

always know who the characters are yet

you don't understand all the settings or

the story lines yet

but you're gonna get there okay don't

sit there and go wait a minute i don't

recognize this from the bible where is

this from who's that guy

just watch it like a normal show pretend

that you don't know much

and just enjoy it and uh everything of

course will come together everything of

course

will the questions will be answered and

i promise you that uh

that you'll you'll end up really digging

in like so many others have so many

millions of others

but uh just just make sure if this is

your first time watching it that you get

the fact that this isn't your typical

jesus project

where we just go from miracle to miracle

bible verse to bible bible verse the

bible verse you never get to know

anybody

um and uh we're digging in deeper here

okay so here we go

i'm gonna get right into it episode one

of season one

and watch it together again as we get

geared up

and count down towards season two so

episode one

let's go

um

[Music]

sit down sit down

your head hurting you again no no

i know you are thinking of the big new

star

look it's right there you see

no why can't you sleep

i'm scared what

i don't know hey

what do we do when we are scared

we say the words advertise words

from the prophet isaiah the prophet

isaiah

right thus says the lord who created you

o jacob and he who formed you

o fear not

come down i won't hear you sin i won't

hear you pray your voice

come fear not for i have redeemed you

i've called you by name you are mine

you are mine

somebody

[Music]

she's trying to kill me tries to kill me

somebody

someone

filthy dog

demons

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i'm

[Applause]

ah

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

forgive me rabbi did not see what he is

doing but a woman

[Music]

[Music]

ahead

[Music]

why have you stopped us that's not

enough to say hello

i'm on official business only roman

business is official business

my name is quintus i'm the preacher of

capernaum

and i am the great nicodemus word

travels fast

are you arresting me

my friend i'm a magistrate not a

military man

i serve the will of the people and

pilate and i serve only god

yes yes so do your enemies

the sadducees the essenes the zealots

rogue preachers in the wilderness

raving about a coming messiah they're

all

vying for the people's affection what do

you want quintus

i believe taxes are going unpaid if you

help me i will help the pharisees

continue to

thrive how can i the people already

drowning in tax

tell me nicodemus what can be under the

water

and yet never drown

fish

[Music]

so

do

[Music]

oh

keep your voice down pardon me mr public

anus

but it's me that don't want to be seen

with you remember it's public harness

i like it the other way tax man hey hey

hey

it's a month's salary for all my sons

combined right there you just

toss them out these are my property i do

it them as i wish

i pay you to drive you sift through

trash on your own time

driving use a bit of both now isn't it

if any citizen ask about my cargo i must

tell the truth

it's the biggest pile of dung in all

capernaum

no honestly i always look forward to my

annual visit to capernaum and your

magnificent sea of galilee it is truly

the envy of the kingdom even

my children are enamored of it all day

they would swim frolic in the sand

and watch the people finally one day i

said

you love it here so much why is it you

never go to the sea when you visit your

grandparents back home

my son he just struggled and said but

father there's never anyone there

it's dead

[Laughter]

and your seat boasts the most

exquisite fish

how unfortunate that those who do the

actual fishing

are unholy foul now given to gambling

and secret dams that even fishing

on shabbat can we eat the catch

and not be stained by the sins of the

catcher make no mistake

it is a sin to eat fish caught on

shabbat

what goes into the body of a man defiles

him

why are our jewish brethren taking their

boats to sea

on shabbat i assure you the messiah will

not come

until this wickedness is purged from our

midst

your actions are being watched studied

god has entrusted you to be

exemplary in every way now if your

status

is too great a burden you do not deserve

to bear the name of israel

i want to see my reflection in it plain

as day this teacher has traveled all the

way from judea he is a member of the

great sanhedrin in jerusalem and i won't

have them seated at the dull table

yusuf fix it

here he comes

you have moved us all will you do us the

honored rabbi

um if that's where you keep the white

sardines

uh i we certainly could get it was a

joke shmuel

oh

a fine torah room is the heartbeat

of a worthy synagogue well thank you

teacher of israel you do us a great

honor the owner is mine

not only for your bright students but

also

for the soul of this city you heard my

address

of course your words will resonate for

generations you were luminous

in my remarks i asked for rhetorical

purposes

why are jews taking boats to sea on

shabbat

that question was meant for you rabbi

shmuel

the reports are becoming too frequent to

ignore of course

rabbi we i will control it better

the romans believe we do not work on

sabbath thus they do not patrol greed

has overcome the fishermen or they are

just trying to feed their families

begging your pardon rabbi the centurion

is here

he demands to speak with you please tell

him we have an ordered cast and cannot

be interrupted you can't wait

messiah come quickly

impressive looks like we're not the only

ones taxing the people

what do you want commander i'm no

commander but at least you know your

place

this is nicodemus teacher of teachers

show some respect

ah just the man i want to see i'm here

about a hebrew woman in a red quarter

let's just say she's been causing a

disturbance

you have an entire roman legion at your

disposal thank you

for the reminder jew but she needs a

holy man

we are men of god it is not our custom

to frequent the

red quarter perhaps i wasn't clear

teacher of teachers

you'll accompany me to the red quarter

or we'll burn it down with our

fire of fires

this is your stop

wait this is the far side of the market

get out

no no this is the job you drive so i

don't want to the markets to crowd

it out i'll pay you double

money won't buy this think of me and my

family

if i am seen with you out

this is very unprofessional fire me

[Music]

tax collector

oh there he is

[Music]

tell me when he comes please

[Music]

you're late guys i know

could you feel it you know what mark

it's on fire today everybody's on

edge all of it take is one person to

snap and you are

just do your job you better hope

[Music]

hmm

upstairs rivka's play

don't worry rabbi we took out the other

lowlifes to protect your delicate

sensibilities

what is that

i need materials

yes

well do your job

listen i agreed to quintus's request

not a demand because he should not

demand anything of me

to stop shabbat fishing which was

already our law and by doing so was not

a violation of my practice

and i will try to help this woman even

though it falls outside of my purview

but do not think of me as a tool to fix

roman problems

i will not continue to use my position

of religious influence

to benefit those who look down on my

people whether it's you

or even someone like quintus so

i will perform this task but i wanted

noted for your superiors this

is an exception

so can we go now

yes

stay down simon

suck dirt if you know what is good for

you

[Music]

let's go

too much joseph you're too powerful

that's right like i tell you every time

i see you

like i tell my sister

[Applause]

[Music]

seriously i can only take maybe two

one one more punch

one more and i'm done he says he's had

[Applause]

what was it you're saying something

about your sister

[Music]

you think if you keep hitting me hard

enough i won't be married to her anymore

that's why they call me wide hands

because of what i do to your liver

i don't want to do this josephat can you

please stop fighting every week

i know you never trusted me but i love

your sister more than anything

i will stop fighting you you will

but my brother won't no brother

where is it written down andrew ah

answer me there

i'm so foolish how's the double knockout

to push if it's two on one

made up rule right there made up or in

stone

who cares we lost

and i know better no no

it's my fault i talked you into it

wine house

sounded more clever in my head

tax day is coming

two sunrises away shabbat and then i

realized

simon thank you

we could lose the ball what are you

going to do

don't know blood from a stone

where are you going going to work

work it's shabbat in an hour but the

pharisees make allowances for that if

lives are at stake

no one's life is at stake no no not this

moment

but it's coming what are you gonna

tell your bug-eating friend about it

no no no no no no no no no no no just me

not dragging into this what about eden

she's staying at her emas tonight you're

crazy

you know that nah

just desperate

how long has she been like this like

what

i'm trying to help her rivka all you're

gonna do is mess this place up

then what you're gonna stop by and help

clean the demons that torment her soul

will turn your place to dust

even if you care nothing for her soul at

least lilith never hurt anyone that

didn't hurt her first

mostly she has these spells we let her

be and then she's as sweet as an angel

again

because it's all lou

[Music]

you can put an end to this

i adjure you

by the holy angels michael gabriel

raphael

uriel and raziel i adjust you

cursor dragon and diabolical legions

come out i adore you spawn

fields about a pattern until

by the utterance of all the watchers and

the holy ones

in the name of adonai god of the heavens

cease to deceive this human creature

[Music]

i command you a covenant

with abraham in the names of

jacob isaac moses

the all-powerful er

flying from this innocence

we are not afraid of you

you have no power

[Music]

so

you

simon

hello love don't you hello love me

why did you beat up jehoshaphat what my

own brother

he attacked me again he needs to know

the husband of his sister is strong

okay but andrew had no right to jump

abraham from behind where are you

getting this

my brothers they are fantastic

storytellers now tellers of fantastic

stories yes

they are they went into such great

detail you must have really given them a

pounding well

i was doing okay till abe came out of

nowhere

they shouldn't cheat you like that when

you are also cheating

all right all right

don't pardon me for saying so love but

yours don't family

troubled in the mind simon

oh how was ima's shabbat dinner it was

lovely

how was fishing what yesterday's catch

good news uh yeah

yeah put something in could be big good

let's go to synagogue and please go

change

you still smell

what do we do when we are scared

we say the words adonai's words

thus says the lord who created you o

jacob

and he who formed you o israel

fear not

[Applause]

they're gonna sell the rest

get away

[Music]

uh

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Music]

lord i formed you oh jacob

and he who created you oh israel

fear not

[Music]

uh

everything

a

oh

you are alive

we had there was trouble come

see it and i can't stay long i know

please sit

fresh off the boat from cyprus no i

don't have this strength

calm down you know what they say

a mooc a prevention there is no

preventing this so

there is no cure come on lily it's

getting worse

yesterday they brought in a holy man

someone maybe even from jerusalem

i only remember bits and pieces and

flashes

leader of the pharisees and he ran away

in terror

one religious big shot's just as full of

it as the nature no i am in hell

i'm sorry please

just try

i brought you something

you didn't have to it's for your

nephew another one of your nephews

thank you looks like it was love for a

very long time it used to hold something

valuable

i don't need it anymore you're beginning

to scare me

you and everyone else

oh that's terrible

thank you there's something i need to do

and now you nick

you listen good now you drink that up

and then the next one and then the next

one and then you stay here till you feel

better

but your hell comes and if it does

we face it together

now that you were my worst enemy oh

you're like we're thirsty here

okay

we'll be late to dinner

i know

you did everything you could for her now

put it out of your mind

i could never forget what i saw

tonight you are an honored guest

leaders will expect you to perform and

to have your wits about you

why

why must i perform

first at the phone for quintus you

taught god's soldiers then

for the slum dwellers and this what sort

of performance is this

when did shabbat become theater you

are the teacher of israel you do not

have

questions you have answers you have

authority

you bring clarity not confusion

come

come

tell me

what do you see in the mirror it is a

cheap glass i can barely make out

anything at all

sometimes i wonder if

what we can know of adonai and the law

is just as blurred

what if we're not seeing

the whole picture what if it's moon

beautiful and and more

strange than we can ever imagine

that is the most ridiculous thing i ever

heard

it might even be blasphemy

it was just a thought and you will never

utter those thoughts in public

a man is free to question in his

heart and leave it in your heart this

is a serious engagement they expect an

erudite teacher not a doubting

blaspheming fool

others saw what happened in the red

district but what did they see

you rose to your rank on merit

you have dedicated your life's work to

serve god

not to become him

i failed stop it it was a mistake to be

there in the first place

but from now on stick to the academy

leave exorcism to the exorcists

you're right i should never have been

there i spoke the words

demon did not respond demons

many

only god himself could have drawn them

out

nico i'm coming

and recording himself

[Music]

ah

[Music]

[Music]

your first thought might be that i

should never have set foot in the red

district

at all and i would say you are

probably correct

often we make decisions in haste

in our desire to correct a lost

soul but how to explain

what happened when i was there

brothers when we

follow god's law to the letter god is

alive

through us would you agree people yes

and he lives through you

and you and you if you follow his law

now imagine if you can one who heeds

only wickedness for a lifetime

demons root in wicked souls

as pigs in filth a possession

like this was fatal

and souls such as hers sadly but beyond

all human aid

[Music]

uh

[Music]

so

how would you trust me with my life

let me talk to the tax man matthew don't

trust you that much

what if i told you i could save the boat

and put us back in good standing

nope you don't even know what i'm gonna

say don't care

it's something foolish and i'm finally

ready to face this

you know this affects me too me and eden

maybe you should think of that you next

time you feel like taking off for a week

that is so like you or playing knuckle

bones at the hammer

or cheating your brothers enough for

some easy scratch i met a guy oh really

wow get the papyrus

simon met the guy well let's just go

hand over our livelihood i'm done

you're done has that ever been good good

good good

[Music]

[Music]

uh

your last tribute was collected the

first month of summer

your account is there for delinquent by

40 days at the penalty rate of 10

percent weekly

six weeks that's right you're lucky to

not be in jail

hey he's saying

sixty percent depend on please what's

that leave you with someone that came

with about 60

of what i owe i can't even pay we're

ruined

well now it's we it's a high number

i say this based on your tribute history

and future prospects

how do you choose to square your account

are there gems inside just silver

gold just open the purse

this will cover about half of your

penalty balance

that's the penalty my records indicate

that you filed for an extension not

once not twice he just needed a couple

of extra days man

extended rates compound at 15 as

collateral you've listed

a fishing vessel and property

all right all right i'm sorry brother

what my brother didn't mention

was the arrangement with quintus

you have business with quintus yeah my

brother is dead

and i hear gratis for both of us

this will be verified with quintus

directly if there's any inconsistency

now can i get my brothers not gold back

thanks man

this will be verified with quintus if

you are misinformed i know i know you'll

see

what just happened don't speak just walk

next

well fishing didn't exactly go like i

planned the other night

what's that got to do i caught nothing

net after net

afternoon empty i catch a breeze around

the point

all of a sudden i know why the nets are

a empty fleet six boats across netting

everything

what do you do i followed them

but

maybe i'd catch them sleeping snatching

that during cleanup but

i didn't work desperate times

yeah i even anchored and swam in

thinking maybe i could get scraps but

they loaded up like clockwork

had cards with mules ready to move

so i sailed home dug up and you know

this sniveling romans standing on shore

i couldn't believe that they never

bothered patrolling that shabbat come on

yes yes yes i didn't even bother trying

to run

good idea considering how you run anyway

as he approaches me i'm trying to figure

out why he's even there i

they don't care about any of our rules

but then i realize

they don't get the tax because we don't

report any shabbat catches

so i tell him if he took me straight to

quintus i'd let them know who caught

more in one night than the guy they're

arresting catches in a week

wait wait so

you offered to turn in fishermen no not

fishermen

merchants and guess who walks up behind

me

yes

he's thorough i guess so yes we talked

and what i said to matthew was real i

don't like it

it's dangerous yeah we're so sleeping

outside besides what some merchandise

so what they are

they are our people we're clearing the

way for them we're

leveling the playing field yeah we you

will be cursed if you inform on them we

not doing anything andrew that's fine

better get moving though if you want to

catch the tax man

might still be enough daylight to get

out of the house before they take it

just let me see if this can verify their

story if those hebrew sea rats were

lying quintus will have them killed and

collect their tribute from you

[Music]

[Music]

so did it work

i'm sorry

i should talk huh leave me alone

oh what huh it's going to scratch me too

come on not now so shot

now

fine she smells anyway

i don't know what else i can do to help

you

give me that lots of it that's not going

to solve your problems

it's meant to distract from no more

preaching just give it to me

lilith please listen to them

you know i have seen that last scene

at least 100 times i've talked about it

i've edited it i shot it you know i i

know that scene backwards and forwards i

remember

with our brilliant composers dan and

matt uh working on it

with a like just slaving away on that

music cue

and it's so beautiful that music you

um but that scene everything just came

together and i hope that

if you stuck with it through that

episode and some stuck

through some of the pain and some of the

you know i mean i mean we've got a

character who's suicidal a woman who's

been uh you know hiding her identity and

changing her identity because she wants

to rid herself of her past

and jesus calls her by name and uh

and and claims her and says you are mine

and uh

you know it's it i've seen it so many

times it gets me every single time

the performance um the beauty of what

what it says

it just really it really hits me and um

so

i hope that you were able to identify

with at least one of the characters

um and you know whether it's simon who's

struggling with deep debt

and confused about what he's supposed to

do and desperate to do whatever it takes

even if it's

sin he's going to protect his family and

his livelihood

and um nicodemus who's knows the bible

but is struggling

with how it's being executed and how

people are acting with it

and uh is interested in potentially

knowing more and is confused by his own

struggles with it

and um you know there's of course uh

lilith

you know who is at the lowest point

possible

and maybe you identify with her maybe

you identify with matthew the tax

collector who's an outsider no one likes

him

possibly because you know partially for

partially for good reason

you know he's betrayed his people um but

anyway

uh hopefully you'll you identified with

them so you can also identify with

the answer that jesus provided with mary

all right so before we get into episode

two episode two is coming

in just a few moments i wanted to tell

you about this bible study okay

so the reason that i want to tell you

about it is because

if you've if you just saw episode one

for the first time or if you've seen

season one

before you want to dig deeper

this this is really the perfect

item because it's called what what does

it mean to be chosen

it was written by my wife and me and dr

doug huffman who is

our uh official you know bible

scholar consultant we've got a couple

others too that help us out but he's

our evangelical uh primarily specializes

in the new testament but as you'll see

in this book

it's the weaving of the old testament

with the new testament and the reason

i'm mentioning to you now

is because it's rooted in isaiah 43

which is what is quoted at the end

um and the beginning of episode one um

where

uh he quotes isaiah 43 and so we talk

about

isaiah 43 and so this bible study has

maps and timelines you're gonna get a

whole it says even

you know meet the mains talking about

the main character so we introduce you

to

uh the backstory of those people so this

is this this is where if you want to dig

deeper if you want to learn more about

the gospel stories

if you want to dig deeper than just the

stories in the show

this is this includes quotes from the

show it just really allows you to do

deeper it's an interactive bible study

you can do it by yourself

or the best way is to do it with groups

so you watch the show together and then

you answer questions you dig in deep

it even you know look we've got these

things this is it's called the sin cycle

and it talks about

the pattern of the israelites in the old

testament and how that matches with us

today

and uh so what it really does is it

allows you to interpret

what we're talking about in the show

even more than just the show can

so uh what does it mean to be chosen

you're going to get it at the chosen

gifts dot com

gi fts www.thechosengifts.com

that's the little jingle i came up with

randomly one day and it's really stuck

and so i'm i want to say i'm sorry but

i'm not really sorry if it's get stuck

in your head tonight

but www.thechosengifts.com it's also

along the bottom of your screen

and go there if you want to get that

bible study and of course a host of

other things

but the bible study um just because it

picks up

right where this episode leaves off and

it digs deeper into that

you know that verse that great verse and

then it goes further into more verses in

isaiah 43 so check that out all right

episode two uh here's where the story

you know

really starts to pick up because you

know now that you know these characters

now that you know their struggles now

you're going to see their journey this

is when the journey really starts

and there's a scene coming up in episode

two

uh that contained my favorite line in

the entire

show and when we come back from this

episode i will be wearing a different

hoodie

because of that line so you'll know more

later but

this is uh episode two this is where

most people say

most people talk about um how episode

two is when they got to know the show

so episode one they were like all right

what is this how do i kind of get used

to this

um not a typical bible show episode two

is when they go i'm with you

this is where we're in all right i'm in

i'm good i'm gold

and i'm here for good so uh episode two

picks up where episode one

leaves off of course and uh i hope you

love it and i will talk to you for a few

moments i've got a few couple things i

want to talk to you about

including that special hoodie that i

will be wearing i know you can't wait to

see that

after this episode so here we go right

back into it episode two

enjoy

[Music]

i see start and if you think i feel for

that eli

you must think i was born yesterday was

there a shabbat when you were little

of course since the time of the covenant

every

seven days why so many softer shabbat is

a time for rest

and time to honor three things family

are people

and god family like soft on sabbah

yes and you ima and abba of course

close friends are like family too who

else

we honor our fellow citizens on shabbat

stranger softer

we are all god's people even friends we

haven't met

but most important of all we honor god

in all his works

we rest because he rested on the seventh

day

we rest to refresh our souls to know him

better

woman of valor who can find her

this is the eshitraya and all to women

of allah

far beyond jewels is her value

her husband's heart trust in her and he

should lack

no fortune then

may god make you like ephraim

may god make you like sarah rebecca

rachel

and leah

the sixth day and the heaven and earth

and all their hosts were completed

and god

[Music]

creates the fruit

[Music]

[Music]

oh

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh

yes i have seen your braid leah you are

wonderful

go ahead

two pieces

how'd they do told you she was excellent

it is a shame only ananias will see you

you know what would be great do we have

any flowers

oh i'll get the buttercup don't move

[Music]

sorry i'm so sorry

[Music]

yes

ah see your dog

what did he say he detest you as much as

i do and

this was a horrible idea gaius we must

sequent this what

he does not need to clarify anything for

you i mean do you have any idea

no clearly you do not dumb question idea

of what who

you are dealing with yes i do really yes

he is the roman occupying overseer of

this region and his primary

responsibilities are to enforce the lion

is sure

and then just to really aware of his

responsibilities i don't think you know

what he's capable of he's made a deal

with this simon person

i have valuable information related to

history have you ever heard of somebody

making a decision based on a hunch

if he has then i must let him know

yes you must

listen i don't want to have to carry

your corpse out so i'm going to wait

outside for your replacement

good luck i don't understand you

are a fool public honest request

an audience

republicans yes dominus

and are you his escort centurion

yes so where are you going

securing the passageway preater

ah

well done come on

so a jew tax collector and his escort

demand to see the praetor of judea

it's urgent they say a matter of life

and death

last night burned very hot and today i'm

ash so i'll get to the point

why should i not kill you both you first

dominus i was recently approached by a

man while that's my tax collector

he was many months delinquent to relieve

the substantial amount give to the

end did you hire a man to spy on jewish

merchant vessels fishing on shabbat to

avoid taxation

yes simon

in our district he is his dad's forgiven

surprise

as well as those of his brother his

yes forgiven goodbye

thank you for your time peter i do not

find simon reliable

once he was deficient in his taxes and

when i pursued remedy i discovered that

he had spent an inordinate amount on

games of chance at the local

establishment

additionally based on his financial

status i question simon's connections to

the merchant class

in spite of his current intentions i do

not believe you have an accurate

understanding of what he can deliver

i'm sorry for this dishonesty say your

last prayer to you stay there a moment

captain

are you saying i made a bad deal

yes

where did he come from

here kaepernick dominus

my brothers across the world search for

brave men to spare and recruit but

our power prohibits those very efforts

for what same person would

stand up to the roman empire

i am saying yes but

a very different kind of saying i'm

sorry i don't understand

so you say this simon isn't at the level

of the merchant class at sea

but he claims they all spend time at the

same establishments

is that false i'm afraid i'm not aware

of their social interactions

but even if that were true it would be

highly unusual for jewish men to betray

one another

so says the jew who collects taxes from

them

mine is a different circumstance i

admire it

well it won't surprise you to learn that

to date simon has not fulfilled his

obligation to uncover the tax evaders

he's in breach of contract not yet but

time may prove you out

uh what are you called

matthew dominus

i may yet have need of your keen powers

of observation matthew

a special assignment

i would relish the opportunity dominus

of course he would

i'll be in touch matthew of capernaum

thank you dominus thank you

all right around for the table

i know you all need this to have a good

time what is this about

well i can't celebrate my brothers and

sisters

so so make sure amos gets aside though

he can't end up the good stuff

dubai jason you'll need this to drown

your source after you lose this game

you i don't know your name you're new

but wow

we're not afraid you still have fish

where federal still are women look at

this mane

like epsilon no only that's better than

absolutely stay away from low hanging

branches my boy

stay away from steve's staircases old

man that's it seoul

none for jason oh what did he do this

time ask your wife

drinking a loan against simon where you

merchant snake twice the help at sea

i need twice to help on land

[Music]

what's your best job and i see the

hammer changed its rules and allowing

children go get caught in the net

but you're here with a responsible adult

a soul make sure

james and john get some too please

please after you

please

what is that whatever do you mean

brother

your face you happy no i'm handsome i

just happen to be

wearing a happy face

find drinks for the merchants

you fattening your lambs before the

slaughter

i don't want you to be miserable you are

so i should be to know i want you to be

serious

this is not a game nothing wrong with

enjoying a little financial freedom

a temporary reprieve from doom

that double knockout will just change

thanks jorge get your footwork down and

next time

yeah i'll practice thank you thank you

reprieve

believe it or not i don't like it either

but these men they're not family

you and eden are my responsibility not

them

you two keep me up at night not them

and you want to be rich yeah well i

thought i'd

try the sentimental route maybe it's not

my best look

[Music]

[ __ ]

apologies have i what is so urgent

shmuel

the judges of harassing hatred sent for

you

the abbadine himself requests your

presence

god is good what happened

[Music]

rabbi nicodemus of the great sanhedrin

we are greatly honored by your presence

the honor is mine

i was given the impression there was a

matter of some

urgency they are considering a formal

inquiry

what are the charges

a miracle rabbi rabbis

this man's testimony is clear his

account

miraculous the woman

in the red quarter to whom you offer

rights

she's redeemed you

you saw her yes teacher perfectly

restored and ready wait

at the hairdressers at the market men

are not loud at the hairdressers

of course i did not go in but she was on

an errand

i believed my eyes betrayed me so i

followed until

i was certain there can be no doubt

the teacher you were successful silence

this is an unparalleled revelation you

yourself pointed out that the

depth of her demonic oppression was

beyond human aid

we want to send word to jerusalem at

once abedin

with your permission i would like to

investigate this sighting myself

before you conduct a formal inquiry into

this or

have news of it spread

we will of course yield to your request

but

may we inquire as to the reason for your

reticence

just as this exorcism took some time to

prove effective it may have a

tentative hold it could come as a shock

for the young woman of her station to be

poured over by

your learned judges whereas mine's a

familiar face

it is decided conduct your investigation

but please

be efficient news of this kind

it grows legs

andrew and you will you help me please

i love you with what barely see anything

of course it's the darkest night in

weeks

okay we saw hulicheim and bauhau come in

offloading

and cleaning their homes of course

tomorrow is shabbat

well there's still a fleet out there

they're sailing late because they're not

cleaning out the hordes tonight

they're definitely sailing tomorrow

i'm guessing it's amos

this is always a time if it is what do

you mean

what i mean is gideon and tobias sail

with ammos

well i'm not saying it's amos for sure

or not

whoever it is they're definitely sailing

tomorrow

we got him we got

those are our brothers tobiah looks to

you before his own father

so what well it's my fault that

a dumb kid doesn't know better

i keep waiting for you to tell me this

is all part of a plan to double cross

the road

andrew there's a crew out there

that crew is stealing food out of eden's

mouth they're gonna take our boat

maybe our lives maybe but we made our

choices too

you think this was a choice

you're not teaching today i have

research

don't be too long our guests will be

arriving early

nico they are dear colleagues who admire

you

they have been waiting weeks for the

teacher of

teachers to lead shabbat it would be

like

sharing loves with god himself sharing

am i the only one hearing this

it's a small gathering you just go

through it quickly

try to avoid spending too much time

honoring god

and our heritage

yes

do you want to lose that ugly nose of

yours

thank you only one language keeps their

peace

matthew another unhappy citizen

expressing his disapproval

i'll be fine oh

you're disgusting go home i have a job

to do

responsibility

roman blood

sanhedrin

would you at least know him if you saw

him again i don't know why i am sharing

this with you i

i don't understand it myself

but here is what i can tell you

i was one way

200 years ago we were ruled by the greek

king antiochus iv

religious observances

it wasn't until the maccabees revolted

and

actually in the hasmonean dynasty that

our worship was restored

you are as smart as you are handsome

who is responsible for suppressing our

worship now

i fear i know the answer

it is a beautiful tapestry

should the artist have made it less so

and god completed on the seventh day his

work that he did

day from all the work he did

hallowed it

thereon he abstained from all the work

that god created to do

blessed are you blessed are you

lord our god ruler of the universe

who creates the fruit of the vine

[Music]

you have lovingly and willingly given us

lovingly and willingly given us your

shabbat

holy assemblies

in memory of the exodus from egypt

blessed are you lord our god

king of the universe who brings forth

the bread from the earth

[Music]

amen

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

all right so the ending of episode two

isn't quite

the same as the ending of episode one

there's a little bit of a little bit of

a cliffhanger

a little bit of something ominous and uh

so that's

this is when we start to become a real

show you know like where

we leave you with you know we we leave

you with something beautiful typically

like the ending of episode two with

the shabbat dinner which uh is for many

people one of their favorites you know

showing the contrast between um

the the dinner at mary's house where you

know it's

somewhat of the least of these um

somewhat of the the outcasts

gathering together and and then you've

got nicodemus

at the the beautiful place and this is

where the big the rich

the high and the mighty show up um and

uh which one does jesus go to he goes to

mary's

and then of course we're now seeing

matthew at his low point

uh eating shabbat dinner with a dog not

great

but what am i wearing my favorite line

in the whole show

we're now into season two and i'm still

this is my favorite line so far

i was one way

fish going this way and now i'm

completely different

teal fish going the other way and the

thing that happened in between was him

and it's in the shape of a cross of

course

so that you know who him is and uh

you know i hope you've noticed in the

opening credits um you know the fish

going in one direction

these gray fish that are just kind of

lifeless and all following the current

all going with the flow and then a teal

fish the color of life the color of

water comes the other way and then one

by one

fish change colors and follow him and at

the end there's 13 fish going in a

in a circle which represents jesus and

the disciples so i hope you've noticed

that but that's kind of partially

why i'm wearing why that's on this shirt

i was one way see if i can do this

correctly

one way now i'm completely different

now i'm completely different there we go

and the thing that happened in between

let's say i'm looking at my monitor

that's why i'm looking over there so

um this hoodie the most comfortable

hoodie we have

it's also a t-shirt i'm not wearing the

t-shirt right now but i do it's also a

t-shirt

hoodie so

i want to make sure i don't lie to you i

did already

i did i i just forgot about it i

literally forgot that i was going to do

that

to do it and then i forgot that i

already told

um craig one of the guys who handles our

inventory

we are going to give a 20 off that's

right 20

off uh this hoodie i was one way now i'm

completely different than the thing that

happened in between was him

uh that beautiful line from mary

magdalene to nicodemus when she's when

she can't really

explain how her life changed she doesn't

know what to say

and my co-writer tyler thompson came up

with that line and i immediately that
