Statues of you
across the Empire.

We will have one in the Temple.

We should assume there
will be a full-scale rebellion.

This is about the
destruction of the Temple!

Thank you, Joanna,
for leading me to Jesus.

Tabitha?

All enemies of Rome...

are punished and crushed.

And you are?

Chief Treasurer to
the Queen of Ethiopia.

You tell this Ethiopian
that we would be honored

to entertain such
an important visitor.

Soon, the abomination
will be here,

a statue that
heralds eternal war.

Do you not see that we need
to unite to fight this monstrosity?

We aren't enemies, James.

If this is true, stop
persecuting us.

This could be the end.

Built by the hands of men.

It is the house of God
on Earth, His home,

the holy of holies,

and it's under threat.

Within days a statue of the Roman
Emperor will arrive in Jerusalem.

He demands it be
placed inside the Temple.

And that we should worship it.

Here. Come.

Put it here.

If God's house is defiled
by this abomination,

He will remove himself,

He will leave the Temple
and He will leave us!

Our crops will rot and fail.

Famine and plague
will dance upon the land.

Our children will starve.

Our enemies will
delight in our weakness,

and we shall be
helpless to oppose them.

We cannot allow it!

We will not allow it!

Don't stop, don't stop! Don't
give them a reason to look.

Please, help yourself.

They're good, huh?

That is why I speak to you now.

We must come together
to protect the Temple.

Every sect, every creed,
every town, every region.

We must set aside
our differences.

Now is the time for
brotherhood and unity.

To let a hundred thousand
speak with one voice.

We stand with you, High Priest.

Go to your people.

Call them to stand
with the Temple.

There are rumors that the
statue is made of pure gold.

Clearly there are no limits
to this Emperor's vanity.

We should be grateful.

His arrogance
will enrage the city

and bring thousands
more to the cause.

It is fortunate that I am
here and able to help.

Not just chance.

It is God's will.

We are ordained to succeed.

Yes, I believe we are.

And my Queen will be thrilled
when she learns what I have done.

Our victory will be
celebrated, not just in Ethiopia.

We'll give the rest of the
world confidence to fight back.

We are lighting a fire that
will burn Rome to cinders.

You've done enough.

The widows will
collect these later.

They asked me to
thank you for your charity.

But I'm not finished.

Your wounds are
too raw, Tabitha.

You're losing too much
blood. You must rest.

I feel much better.

And this makes me
feel that I'm contributing.

Please, rest.

I enjoy it.

I have my sewing

and the men have their very long

and very important
conversations.

They were all on their feet
cheering the High Priest.

And as I listened to him, I...

Well, forgive me,
but I couldn't help

but imagine it was
myself in his place,

but I was talking
about Jesus Christ.

Can you see what that
could be like for all of us?

Imagine, being able to
speak His name without fear.

Yes, yes, and more than that.

Imagine being able to influence
the Sanhedrin from within.

No more hiding in the dark,
no more whispering His name.

Well, what do you say? Hmm?

And you really think Caiaphas
is going to give you all this?

Yes. And what will
he want in return?

Well, we will
negotiate, you and I.

Not me. Not with the
man that killed Jesus.

Peter, this is our chance to
take the church of Jesus forward.

No, no, I have to keep
you all safe, away from him.

We don't need the Temple.
Let me at least speak to him.

I am no novice. I
will press him hard.

I will not deny our Lord again!

Hey, you, Roman pigs, stop!

Ho-ho-ho-ho.

They're just boys. Move on.

My brothers!

My brothers.

You have come because you
know that God calls upon you

to defend His Temple
against this abomination.

We will unleash a righteous wave

that will cleanse the Temple
of its corrupt priesthood

and wash every last trace
of Rome from our lands!

Ethiopia has given us weapons

and the means to make our own.

We have the implements to
cut out this Roman infection.

But we need pious
hands to put them into,

your hands.

So, are you with us?

I see Caiaphas has sent
his little rodent to spy.

No. I've been sent
with a message.

The High Priest
extends an invitation

to discuss how we
proceed together.

Liar. Take him away.

I'd like to increase the number
of patrols around Jerusalem.

Putting men on the streets
is an act of provocation.

We're a holding
force, not an army.

More men will
help hide this fact.

Very well.

Double the number of patrols.

We'll get through this.

We always do.

This miserable city.

Look at you.

You haven't touched your food.

The centurion's
worries don't help.

Is there anything I can
do? Name it and it's done.

Perhaps there is something.

The Nazarene woman,
Joanna, release her.

What is your interest
in this woman?

Only one of empathy.

Empathy breeds
weakness, Claudia.

And we are not weak.

I don't see how my
showing concern...

You are not weak.

Do you understand me?

I've upset you.

No. Your words
make a lot of sense.

But I've been too bold.
You, you're the rock.

Your concern
for our safety is...

James, please, you've
done nothing wrong,

except speak better than I can.

I mean, we could not hope for
anyone better to fight our cause.

I only want an end
to the persecution.

But I cannot forget what
that man did to Jesus.

When Jesus was on the cross,

when the pain was so great

that his body would
contort and shake,

he cried out,

"Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they do."

If he asks it of God,
then he asks it of us, too.

Yes, of course.

James will talk
to the High Priest,

and we will finally see
an end to our persecution.

Let's go together.

No, my presence won't help.

Then, tell me what
terms you'll accept.

I have faith in your judgment,

and God will guide you.

But I must leave Jerusalem.

Well, where are you going?

Out there

to preach.

High Priest, I must remind
you of your own pledge,

an end to the persecution and
arrest of those who follow Jesus.

It must stop immediately.

You're setting
conditions, for me?

Very well. I end it now.

Thank you.

It must surely follow that
we be free to preach openly.

There are limits to
what's acceptable.

The Romans are a
very literal people.

They take any mention of kings
at face value and call it sedition.

Saying Jesus is a king
endangers the Temple.

Then, we'll be cautious.

And you'll refrain from
saying He is the Messiah.

But that is the truth.

Your truth will offend many,

and I may not be
able to protect you.

We wish to sit in the Temple
and win respect, not offend anyone,

but we will not be censored.

He is the Messiah.

You're not shy in
your requests, are you?

He is the son of God.

He is resurrected
and He will return.

Well, if you will not be
persuaded otherwise.

I won't.

Then let it be so.

I trust you will remember my
generosity in the days to come.

Success.

We're allowed back?

We are.

Come in, come.

Alms. Alms for the
poor. Thank you.

Tabitha? Somebody help me.

We need to get her
back to the house.

I'm sorry, Mary. I should
have listened to you.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Mary, take me
home? To my family?

To Joppa.

Please, I have to see
them again before I die.

I'm not sure
you'll get that far.

We have to.

Then let's hurry up.
I'll help you take her.

No. I must do it.
This is my fault.

Because of me, they're
going to execute Joanna.

I can't lose Tabitha, too.

Master Warden.

Is it horrible, Joanna?

It's God's will.

I trust in him.

Please, I, um... You need to
eat to keep your strength up.

Thank you.

Has your husband decided
when it will be done?

He doesn't get to
decide everything.

Stop there.

Roman pigs.

Relax. Besides, they are
looking in the wrong carts.

Have you seen how they've
increased their numbers?

It's only natural.
They feel threatened.

Sit.

What do you want?

Levi sent me.

He's concerned you're too...

Visible.

Why?

Do I not blend in?

Still, there is no sense in
drawing attention to yourself,

here of all places.

Let me explain something to you.

I am a visiting dignitary,
here to be seen.

I have nothing to
hide, no hidden agenda,

but the moment I
disappear from view,

then I draw attention to myself.

They begin to ask questions.

So, when I am visible,
I am untouchable.

Now, let us consider your
responsibilities, shall we?

The Temple spy could make
my life very uncomfortable.

Do I have your assurance
that he will not be a problem?

Out here, for the vultures?

Then let me make
my peace with God.

Hear, Israel, the
Lord is our God.

Enough!

Blessed be the name of His
glorious kingdom forever and ever.

Enough, I said!

You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart.

High Priest!

Bring my physician!

Sit. That's it.

Things are far worse
than we imagined.

Will he live? Mm.

And he's certain of what
he saw? Ethiopian weapons?

The zealots have the will,
and now they have the means.

They will turn
this crisis into war.

I knew that they'd try, but I
never thought they'd be able.

We must go to Pilate.

Tell him about their
plans. Let him deal with it.

We can't. We'll be
damned as collaborators.

In their eyes we
already are collaborators.

The zealots want us
dead, can't you see?

So I control them.

It's too late. They
already have weapons.

And this revolt
will never succeed,

Rome will crush it,
and crush us with it.

And you know that.

Go to Pilate. Save the city
from a Roman massacre.

Are you suggesting
that we open the doors

and allow the
Temple to be defiled?

God will leave the
Temple for a time, yes,

and we will suffer
in his absence,

but He will hear our
prayers and, in time,

the Temple will be
cleansed and God will return.

No. Never.

Never!

I refuse to be the High Priest
who allowed God to abandon us.

Never!

The future of Judea is uncertain,
but I bring you God's message.

Salvation will be found in
the name of Jesus Christ.

Philip?

Philip.

What brings you here?

I thought you'd be in Jerusalem.

I was coming back
to be with you all.

You've been doing so well,

your work in Samaria.

Many more have come to Jesus.

But how can I ignore Jerusalem?

It's our home, the
center of everything.

Jesus told us to spread his
word to the ends of the Earth.

Your work is vital.

So, what should I do now?

Go to the south,

to the desert road that leads
from Jerusalem to Gaza.

We should go. Right now!

Go where?

The Gaza road.

What are you talking about?

You didn't see the angel.

Go! Do as the angel commanded,

and I'll press on towards Joppa.

You're home now, Tabitha.

I'm not ready to die.

My daughter.

Mother.

She's injured. It's her back.

I must speak to Pilate.

To what purpose?

You asked me for my help.

I have information that
will prevent a massacre.

And why the secrecy?

If you want my help...

Because I must betray
both, those I hate,

and those that I love.

I think you need to
hear what she has to say.

The zealots have formed
an alliance with Ethiopia.

They are armed and are using
Caligula's statue as a catalyst.

They plan to launch
a huge uprising

against Rome.

Out of the way!

- Move!
- Stand aside!

You there, check the stairs!

We are betrayed! Quick!

Forget the Ethiopian's
weapons. We still have our own.

Open up!

Check the rooftop!

We missed them! Check there!

Halt.

Come with me.

To what end? What
is this nonsense?

I am my Queen's Chief Treasurer.

Any harm to me
would be an act of war.

Importing weapons
is an act of war.

Possibly.

But you are in no position
to provoke Ethiopia.

You have no regard
for your tongue.

I just want to remind you
that your new Emperor

doesn't seem to
care for this region.

You are out here on your own.

So, your queen would risk an
attack on the Empire, would she?

She would relish
the opportunity.

I don't think she would.

I don't think she even
knows about this, does she?

You've overstepped the mark.

She trusts me implicitly.

And so her disappointment
in you will be all the greater.

Bring his things.

Diplomacy does, indeed,
prevent me from killing you,

but I shall write to your queen.

I imagine you will never be
able to return to Ethiopia again.

And after you'd given
up so much for her.

Your men shall remain here
as slaves to their superiors.

Pick it up.

What is this?

It is a gift from the
High Priest, Caiaphas.

You may keep it, as a
reminder of your foolishness.

Remove this
creature from my city.

These are days that
test our faith to the limit,

where we feel injustice and
outrage churning in our hearts.

Rome fills our
streets with soldiers.

We still have weapons, and
God still favors us, you told me so.

Yes, you're right. Our cause
is just. But I won't forget this.

Rome threatens our Temple,

throws a shadow
of fear over our city,

but you will find
light and salvation

in the name of Jesus Christ.

Fine words, but words
won't protect the Temple.

I told you, I'm
loyal to the cause.

And when the Romans charge us

will you still be loyal then,
with a sword in your hand?

For the continued
peace of the region.

What are you doing?

I am composing an
amusing little note

to our dear friend, the
great Queen of Ethiopia.

You did well today, Claudia.

Thank you.

Having brought Leah to
you, and her information,

I was wondering if
perhaps, as a favor in kind,

you might consider releasing
the Nazarene woman.

Firstly, this revolt is
still very much alive.

And second,

you bring information to
me as a matter of course,

because you are my
wife, it is your duty.

But that's...

I would hate to think that
you only brought Leah to me

because you thought you
might exploit the opportunity.

I did what was
right to prevent war.

And you have a
duty, as my husband,

to listen to my advice.

She will be put
to death, Claudia.

She has to be. And
that's the end of it.

Read it back to me.

Joanna. Come with
me. It's time to go.

What are you doing? Come.

Open the door.

You know who I am, don't you?

Open the door.

And if you don't, you'll have to
explain why not to my husband.

Your interest in this
woman is unnatural.

What has she done to you?

She's done nothing.

She preys upon others
and twists their minds.

She poisoned the ear
of that young seamstress,

and now she's doing
the same to you.

No.

I just believe it is wrong
that she should suffer.

And so you would
betray me for a stranger.

What spell has
she cast upon you?

Why would you want to
shame me with her escape?

Very well...

You shall have your wish.

You may choose
to set her free now...

By strangulation...

Or let her go to the cross.

Look at her. She's
already halfway there.

All it takes is
a little squeeze.

You're a monster.

You think you are trying
to save her from me.

But I'm trying to save you.

Don't make me choose.

I will choose.

Very well.

Cornelius.

In the name of
Christ, I forgive you.

This ends here.

Do you understand?

Prepare.

Begin.

"He was led like a
sheep to the slaughter.

"As a lamb before his shearer is
silent, so he did not open his mouth.

"In his humiliation, he
was deprived of justice.

"Who shall speak
of his descendants?

"For his life was
taken from the Earth."

You look to have fallen
on hard times, friend.

Indeed.

And I have fallen hard.

Do you need help?

I've repaired a few
wheels in my time.

Thank you. Please.

The passage you were
reading just now from Isaiah...

Does it bring you comfort?

I had hoped it would, but I
am struggling to understand it.

Does the prophet speak of
himself, or of someone else?

He's talking of a man who knew
great suffering and humiliation.

A man who taught us that...

Through faith we will
find salvation in Him.

Who is this man?

He is Jesus Christ.

The son of God.

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

Look, water in the desert.

No one can stop
me being baptized

and taking the word of Jesus
to the corners of the world!

Do you repent your sins?

I do. I do.

I have looked past God.

I have been proud and
I have been conceited.

I have been an ambassador
for violence and hate.

That is passed.

What matters is who
you now choose to be.

Are you ready?

Do you believe in Jesus
Christ, the son of God,

who died on the cross and
rose again on the third day?

I do.

Then in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

I baptize you.

Then it is true!

For wide is the gate and broad is
the road that leads to destruction,

and many enter through it.

Small is the gate and narrow
the road that leads to life.

And only a few find it.

Mary?

I promised Tabitha
I wouldn't let her die.

I thought my faith
would be enough.

She was so sweet and so
happy to have found Jesus.

I'm responsible for her death.

You are not responsible.

It is God's will.

Will you come and see her?

Don't be afraid.

This is Peter, the
man I told you about.

What did you tell
them about me, Mary?

I told them the truth.

And why have you
brought me here?

Because I believe
you can help her.

Yes!

Tabitha!

Tabitha!

Get up!

Get up!

Yes!

Yes!

Peter.

Peter, thank you.
