Find him and kill him.

How much better if we
were to win him back?

He dragged men across
the desert to kill me.

Our Emperor has departed,

but he has left a present for
Jerusalem, a statue of his likeness.

Which he commands to be
placed in the Temple itself.

This is about the
destruction of the Temple!

We welcome Saul as
our brother in Christ.

You've all lost your minds.

Simon.

This is my fault.

No, Saul! I have
to make it right.

I've heard that if you want
to meet certain people,

then this is the place to come.

Enemies of Rome?

So, talk.

- He's here.
- Find him.

Jesus!

Jesus!

As for God, His way is perfect.

The word of the
Lord is flawless.

Jesus, what are you doing?

We've been looking everywhere.

Didn't you know I would
be in my father's house?

You will always know
where to find me, James.

That's how he is. That's Saul.

You can't tell him anything.

No, we should have stopped him.

I should have.

They'll stone him, won't they?

Maybe the High
Priest will be lenient.

Not a chance. Not Caiaphas.

Do you think they've
got Simon, too?

Where else would he be?

They won't kill
them both, will they?

No, because I won't let them.

What do you mean?

I will go to the Temple and
I will beg for their release.

Move!

Welcome back, Saul.

Look at all these people
united in their faith.

And then there's you.

I understand your anger.

You came to me.

You begged me to let you attack

these blasphemers
and defend the Temple.

I wanted to impress you.

But now I understand the truth.

What would your
teacher, Gamaliel,

make of your new understanding?

What do you want from me?

You have a chance
right now to confess

to your sins before
God, and turn back.

Come back, Saul.

Come back to the Temple,

and do not betray
those who love you.

You're here, in the
center of the universe.

How can you leave and
cut yourself off from God?

This is your faith here, right
here. I want to forgive you.

They all look so content.

Of course they do. They're home.

It does feel like home.

But it isn't.

And you cannot forgive me.

Only Jesus can do that.

Yes. Very good, Tabitha.

Excellent.

What have I missed?

Tell me.

We've been talking about
washing and sewing and...

And nothing else whatsoever.

No, you haven't.

Tell me about the needle.

Jesus said,

"It is easier for..."

"It's easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle,

"than it is for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven."

And what about a rich woman?

Now, say that again.

Isaiah's prophecy
has been completed.

Jesus is our messiah.

He rose from the dead and I
have been born again in his name.

I have repented and
he has forgiven me.

And my sins are
forever washed away.

So, it seems to me that there is

no need for your endless
search for ritual purity,

nor your mikvahs, nor
any of your temple customs.

No need?

No need for the Temple.

No need for you.

What's happened to you?

What's happened to you?

Would 39 lashes
cure your madness?

How about a month in a cell

until you see sense?

I could leave you
there to waste away

until you're
completely forgotten.

I'm sure there must be another
plan that doesn't involve you dying.

Enough hiding.

Yeah, but what if he
throws you in jail, too?

Then you'll preach and spread
the word as Jesus taught us.

Well, all right, we'll try, but if
you're gone, who's going to lead us?

'Cause I don't think
Thomas can cope.

James.

It's James!

By this time, he'd been
missing for three days,

his mother was beside
herself with worry,

but there he was, in the Temple,

debating and arguing
with the priests

as though it was the most
natural thing in the world.

I had that dream.

And I knew then that I
had to be here, with you.

I've missed you.

What was he like as a boy?

We all used to play
together as children.

He was just like the rest of us.

But then you'd
start to notice things.

Like his,

his calmness, his wisdom even
when he was young, his kindness.

He had something,
something in his eyes.

You know, I loved him.

I loved him very much.

But that was then.

Now, I want to hear about you. I
understand you've all been imprisoned.

Some of us twice.

And yet still you continue,
making great strides, I'm sure.

Well, what is it?

We lost two brothers yesterday.

A new believer, Saul, was
seized by the Temple guards.

And Simon...

He didn't come back last night.

I have to go to the Temple.

To see the High Priest?

Who has imprisoned you twice?

We've been trying to tell him.

What if I went?

Thank you, but it is my burden.

Well, let me plead for them.

You do not know him.

He will see the
fear in your eyes.

And, forgive my pride,
but I'm also a rabbi,

and that should
count in our favor.

I have left you here to
suffer alone for too long.

Let me help you.

What is your business here?

Your business!

He does not understand you.

And you are?

Chief Treasurer to
the Queen of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia? It's all
right, Centurion.

We left our weapons
at the city gates.

Really?

Search it. Every inch.

Blessed Lord,

I have shut my ears to your teachings
and ignored your commandments.

I have closed my eyes
to the suffering of others.

Though I am unworthy,

I ask your forgiveness,
merciful God and...

No!

I have just seen
Saul... I let him go.

He's a madman.

His words will get him
killed. He's nothing.

You can't do this. It's done.

And now you look weak.

Let the people know it
was an act of forgiveness

on the eve of Yom Kippur.

But at any other time...

I have spoken!

It's coming in a day, in a week.

I don't know, but soon the
abomination will be here,

a statue that
heralds eternal war.

Do you not see that we
need to unite every Jew,

every tiny sect and cult,

and bring them all together
to fight this monstrosity?

Oh, I see.

This is politics, is it?

There is the will of Rome, the
fear it inspires, and there is us.

We must make them love
more than fear, or we will all die.

Every word that Saul speaks

is a stain upon your reputation.

Did you not hear
what I just said?

Did you not just hear me?

You are the High Priest of
the Temple of Jerusalem.

When will you act like it?

I do.

Every day.

You're simply
too blind to see it.

I'm sorry. I lost my head.

We were worried.
Where did you go?

There's an inn. I
had a few drinks.

Then a few more.

And then?

And then I woke
up in a horse trough.

We're so glad to see you.

It's good to be back.

There's nothing to
worry about. Not with me.

Nothing at all.

And you found no weapons on him?

None.

And you checked the
sacrifices, all the baskets?

There was nothing.

Well, maybe he really has
come to visit the Temple.

It's one of their holy
days tomorrow, isn't it?

The man's an Ethiopian, Claudia.

People come from all over
the world to visit Jerusalem.

Do you know what he'd
have done to himself

to become the Queen's treasurer

and to assure
everlasting devotion?

He's half the man he used to be.

Does he know about
the statue? I didn't...

You didn't ask. Of
course, you couldn't.

I want to see him, face to face.

A dinner invitation.

And get Herod and his
wife along so it seems less...

Obvious?

Hmm.

Yes.

You tell this Ethiopian eunuch

that we would be
honored to entertain

such an important
visitor in our city.

What do you want?

I need something.

You have contacts.

I just make jewelry.

Oh, I doubt that.

You should go. I can't help you.

I will not be dismissed.

Get out.

It doesn't matter
what you think of me.

I need to see your people.

And they will not be happy when
they discover you've denied them

the chance to see me
and all that I can offer.

What is this something?

I'll tell them when I see them.

You'll tell me or
you'll get no further.

I want a man killed.

Saul! How on earth?

Did they beat you?

No. No.

So, James got you released?

Who's James? PETER: He...

You were just freed?

I don't know. I talked
to the High Priest,

and he just released me.

Well, isn't that
unbelievably lucky.

Simon.

We were all beaten,
arrested, imprisoned or stoned.

And this man just walks free?

What are you
accusing me of, exactly?

Well, it's over.

I'm free.

My name is James, from Nazareth.

I follow Jesus.

What brings you to the Temple?

We must all forgive as we approach
the Day of Atonement, isn't that right?

Should I forgive you?

I met with my brothers today.

I had to pretend I was immune
to their worries and grief,

that I was so much
stronger than I really am

because of you.

What kind of a high priest
are you to instill such fear?

I must defend the faith.

Well, you do it too well.

And I am here to ask for the
release of two of my brothers,

Saul of Tarsus and
Simon of Capernaum.

I cannot help you.

Simon was never here,

and Saul walked free earlier.

What stories have
they been telling you?

We aren't enemies, James.

We both kneel before God
and pray for his blessing.

If this is true, stop
persecuting us.

Yes, I see why they sent you.

Come.

What if I promised
you sanctuary?

Sanctuary? Mmm.

A safe place to pray.

An end to persecution.

A chance to make
peace with the Temple.

Why?

Well, as you say, it's
nearly Yom Kippur.

Why else?

Go talk to your friends.
Let them consider my offer.

If they respect the Temple,
then they may pray here.

But not Saul.

Saul?

You are welcome here.

I'm keen to unite our nation.

But not him.

But what has he done?

You clearly don't
know him. You'll see.

Thank you for your
kindness in meeting me here.

From the Queen of Ethiopia.

And from a humble believer.

Thank you for your
wonderful generosity.

Please accept in return these
writings by our Prophet Isaiah.

I will treasure these words.

Shall we pray?

Prayer would be wonderful.

You will dine today at the
palace of the Governor of Judea.

It is not your place

to give orders to an
honored guest in my temple.

It is fine.

We are used to the
Roman etiquette.

As you wish.

I apologize for that,

especially when it involves
the wife of the High Priest.

But we must be careful.

You have been
asking about murder.

A blasphemer

and an enemy of the state.

So remove him.

Your husband has the power.

The High Priest is willing to let
this heretic live, I take it, but not you.

He's a danger to us all.

To me?

I doubt that.

Who is this man?

Saul of Tarsus.

He recently joined the
cult of the Nazarenes.

We have no quarrel
with the Nazarenes.

Oh, well, let those who
mock God walk in peace.

I had no idea how lax your
convictions had become.

And I would not advise
you to question my faith.

Not here. Not alone.

And not when you so willfully
share your sheets with Rome.

And what will you do for me?

What do you want?

What are your husband's
plans for the Emperor's statue?

Yes, I know all about
it. What will he do?

I'm not sure.

We all assumed he did
whatever you told him.

I'm just his wife.

I like your answer.

I like the way you swerve to avoid
responsibility, but you fool no one.

What I want from you,
dear Leah, is blood.

I want the blood of
a thousand Romans,

and you will influence your husband
and the Temple to give it to me.

How?

When I need you,

you'll know.

No. No. No.

I had a new gown,

a silk one.

Tabitha should have
finished it by now.

He's not here yet, is he?

No, you have time.
Is everything all right?

My seamstress has
not completed her work.

We have seamstresses. Follow me.

I'm so happy for you.

I'll take you to the apostles
and have you baptized.

It's wonderful.

You will feel alive, so alive,
like you've never felt before.

Thank you.

Thank you, Joanna,
for leading me to Jesus.

You tried to lure my
other servants to Jesus

after everything
that has happened?

This is my fault.

And I will deal with you later.

Right now we have an
important guest to prepare for.

How could you?

Herodias, she's a child.

This is clearly the fault of my
own servant, and I will deal with her.

You may punish your
servant as you wish,

but these girls,
they belong to me.

You are both banished
from my household

and will be gone by morning.

Now get out!

I know what he
has done to you all,

but it felt genuine.

What do we have to do?

Just respect the Temple.

And that's all? Yes.

We can negotiate the rest.

We could go
outside without fear.

We could celebrate
festivals and holy days.

Why do we need the Temple?

Of course, we want to feel
safe, I don't dispute that,

but now that Jesus has
risen, why bother to go there?

He is here in us,
with us, so why?

So, the Temple is...

Part of the old law, which
has now been completed.

We are still Jews, Saul.

The Temple is an
important part of our lives.

We have a message
to preach, James,

but it has nothing to do
with that pile of stones.

You would just abandon it?

I just want to go out and
spread the word of Christ.

The Temple is
no longer relevant.

It's not that difficult
to understand.

I must be stupid then. Simon!

We have this man, this stranger,

who one minute
wants us all dead.

All this again, Peter?

And then somehow gets
released by the High Priest

without a scratch on him.

Now, I don't know
what he's doing.

No, you don't, so you
should be quiet until you do.

I can't believe any
of you trust him.

Simon. No.

Simon!

Some wine, while you can.

Your fast begins
at sunset, I believe.

I'm surprised you pay
attention to such matters.

Oh, the Governor makes a point
of getting involved in Jewish affairs.

I certainly won't be following
your obscure customs.

You'll have to forgive me.

On Yom Kippur, we try to forgive

and make peace
with all our enemies.

Are we enemies?

I thought we were
all friends here.

Isn't that right, Herod?

It's true. We do
manage a certain civility.

Although you Romans have a habit
of making enemies wherever you go.

All nations are happily united and
at peace under Roman governance.

One might doubt that,

considering the troubles
you are having here.

Unable to quell the
zealots and Nazarenes?

I have crushed them all.

Oh.

I can only apologize

but I was waiting
on this new gown.

Very nice.

Sadly, I just had to dismiss
one of my seamstresses.

You dismissed a servant today?

Yes.

You could not forgive her?

Dismissing her was
an act of forgiveness.

Why? What had she done?

Well, she...

What crime has she
committed under my roof?

No crime in Roman
law. It's nothing.

She was attempting to
join the Nazarene cult.

But I thought you
had crushed them all.

Bring her here.

Yes, Governor.

God be with you.

And with you.

I wanted to ask you
about one of your brethren,

a man called Saul of Tarsus.

What of him?

He's made some enemies.

It's a special skill of his.

He has been brought
to our attention.

I need a favor from you.

To do with Saul?

I want you to bring him to us.

And then?

That is not your concern.

But he's my brother in Christ.

All you need to think
of are your loyalties

and the promises
you have made to me.

I can't. There is no...

Think of the Temple.

For pity's sake, they're
women, servants.

They have committed
treason under my roof.

It's hardly treason.

They have humiliated me.

They will be flogged, in public,

so the whole world, from
Rome to Ethiopia, shall know.

Do you really think the Emperor
will care about something

as tawdry as this?

Let's hope he does.

Cornelius, escort
them to our dear guests.

Which one should I flog first?

Don't be afraid.

Jesus will give you strength.

Her. Just her.

I have something
else planned for you.

You have brought insurgents
into my palace, Herod.

I had no idea.

You will show approval
for these actions.

You will admire
the power of Rome.

And then, when this is
over, you will take your wife

and get out of my palace.
Do you understand?

As you wish.

I'm sorry you have
to witness this.

All enemies of Rome
are punished and crushed.

None are spared.

For the glory of our emperor.

I think it's a
mistake to trust her.

She's no more than
a Roman whore.

She has influence.

She will betray us at the first
opportunity, I know she will.

Possibly, but that's a
risk we have to take.

We have this one chance, Eva,

one glorious opportunity to
free our city from Roman rule.

That statue... I know.

I'm sorry, but we
are murdering a man

who has not sinned
or caused offense.

He is no Roman, just a
loudmouth, as far as I can tell.

I have to go.

Why don't you go and
listen to this man preach?

See if he really is as bad
as Leah makes him out to be.

Shalom.

You can't do that.

They were housemaids.

You can't argue
with me like that,

and you can't show
your disapproval in public.

I didn't say a word.

Your face.

Well, I'm sorry if
my performance

wasn't as polished as
you might have liked.

Don't do it again.

What will happen
to the other one?

I don't know.

I haven't worked out
how to make it count.

Make what count?

Her death.

Joanna! My love. My love.

Don't cry.

I am at peace.

Nothing can hurt me now.

You were the best husband.

So, be happy for what we had.

You can all be born
again, reconciled with God,

freed from the Temple's tyranny.

There is a new
life, a new freedom,

and it comes from the
love of Jesus Christ.

You must not be
afraid of his message.

Jesus came not to abolish
the law, but to fulfill it.

All that we have
been taught before

has led us to this very moment.

What did you think?

Is this what your cult believes?

Some of it.

He will destroy your new
church with those words.

I told Levi we should
leave him alone,

concentrate on our own affairs,

but not now.

He can't threaten
the Temple like that.

It would help us
all if he were gone.

Deliver Saul, alone,
to the inn at sunset.

Once Yom Kippur has
finished, we'll do the rest.

You are with us now.

You are with me.

Yes?

I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

It should have been me.

Yes, it should.

You knew what would happen.

The fault is mine alone.

Here is some money and
herbs and medicine for her.

Do you have
somewhere you can go?

Yes.

The Governor is busy
with affairs of state.

If you go now, he
will not see you.

And he will not know of
my involvement in this.

Thank you.

What else could I do?

And what of Joanna?

Go now.

I wish you well.

What's happened?

Please don't cry.

Because if God is with
us, who can be against us?

And God is with you, Tabitha.

Nothing can separate you
from the love of Christ, nothing.

Not life, not death,
nor angels or demons.

No one, no power.

No authority can separate
us from the love of God.

And that love is Jesus Christ.

She was beaten
on Pilate's orders.

I need to tell you something.

I lay all of the nation's
sins upon this goat.

Let him escape into the wilderness
and take all our sins away!

I'm so sorry. I don't hate
Saul. It's not like that.

I just wanted to
protect the Temple.

You slipped, but not that far.

So what do we do?

Do the zealots know
where he's staying?

Then he's safe here for now.

No. We don't know that.

He is a danger to himself and
therefore he is a danger to us.

Our belief in
Jesus is the danger.

No, not now that Caiaphas
has offered us peace.

I think that Saul is the problem.
His views are too radical.

They will pull us apart.
Simon's actions are proof of this.

You misunderstand his passion.

We know how the High
Priest feels about him.

He told me so. And the zealots.

He was chased out of Damascus.

He risks all of our lives.

So what do you suggest?

What did they tell you to do?

I have to take him to
an inn in the lower city

as soon as Yom Kippur ends.

Right, so we have
till the end of the day.

To do what? He's one of us!

So what on earth
are you planning?

Simon's back, which obviously
means you're all talking about me.

We wish you every success.

Ah.

I hear Philip has made some
great progress in Samaria.

I could do better right
here in Jerusalem.

I think there's a bigger role
for you beyond Jerusalem, Saul.

Men want you dead.

Oh, I'm not afraid
of death, James.

I'm trying to drag
you all forward,

and no one, no one will listen.

It's not safe.

And we're scared for
you if you stay here.

That is all.

I see.

So we are all still
brothers, then?

Of course. Oh.

And we will meet again?

I promise.

Well, then.

I shall risk your
lives no longer.

I will leave now, teach
his message as I go.

Yes, by the time
I get to Tarsus,

I will have a hundred followers.

You will do more than any of us.

God be with you all.

If Jerusalem gets too much,

you're always welcome,

even you, Simon.
