Joseph, wake up.

Oh, they're coming.

Leave.

Well, we got to.

We've got to hurry.

You got.

I don't know.

I want soldiers everywhere.

It's too late

To get the china to me.

I want to wear my crown. Boy.

Get your hands dirty.

The massacre of the innocents

Is a story which is only found
in the gospel of matthew.

It's odd
that outside the new testament,

Other people
who write about the time

Period, like the ancient
historian josephus,

Makes no mention of it.

But with that being said,
based on archeology.

Bethlehem, around
the time of the birth of jesus,

Contained less
than a thousand people

Based on that.

The massacre of the innocents

Would have only have been
about 10 to 30 infants.

Now, the infant mortality rates
were incredibly high

In the ancient world,
and the death of 10 to 30 babies

Would not have been a
historical events

Would not have been recorded

And would
not have been noteworthy.

90%. Sir.

Sir, sir.

Keep going.

We don't stop
until they're all dead.

Yes. Yes, sir.

If you stop.

Oh! Oh.

So you done?

You killed them all.

Every single one.

Well, and that's.

We killed them all.

Every

Single one.

Herod must have believed
that all the children were dead

And that he had successfully
killed off the prophecy.

But he's wrong.

Mary and joseph
pack up their baby

And all of their belongings,

And they move out of herod's
territory.

They move to a safe place.

You should up.

I am like a camel.

And apparently

I smell like one too.

Do you think we are safe?

As long as herod is alive?

He will always be in danger.

You must keep moving.

Where would be safe to go?

That herod didn't have power
or connections.

The answer would be egypt.

The trip
is incredibly dangerous.

Hundreds of miles
through valleys and hills.

My best
guess would be mary joseph.

And the baby went down
through what we would call today

The gaza strip to egypt.

As to how long they were

There, it's
very hard to say, ha!

Great king.

That is what they called me.

But nobody understands
the software vice

It takes to be great.

I have murdered sons,

Executed my wife,

Killed
the things I love the most.

That is the price

Of being father.

Crowd not

What is.

Herod is dead.

You saw it.

We came to know

And to pass.

Brother.

Brother.

Your late

Need is not.

You're overcompensating
for something.

If you're trying to impress

Our father, I'm afraid
it's a little late for that.

Is it true that he

Stabbed himself?

It didn't work, though.

After a reign of more

Than 30 years,
king herod is finally dead.

He tries on multiple occasions
to commit suicide.

But ultimately,
it was a case of gangrene

That moved from herod's
genitals into his kidneys.

This was ultimately
what led to herod's death.

Has anyone checked that

He's actually dead?

Come on.

We should be happy to be alive.

Yeah.

Lived our father.

And so many did not.

His final years

Were marked by a period
of derangement and paranoia.

Nobody had been safe.

According to josephus,
one of herod's last acts

Is to execute his eldest
living son, antipater.

I am your. Son.

All right.

I have.

Others.

He was, in theory,

The chosen heir, the one who
would succeed herod as king.

But he thought his
son was plotting against him,

And he ordered his execution.

One brother less.

One brother

Closer to the throne. And.

And despite

Of herod's six surviving sons

And to pass an ark,
julius believed that they have

The strongest claim
to all of herod's

Territories.

What is a client?

King of rome. King

Herod's will has to be approved
by the emperor augustus.

So both antipas and archilochus
traveled to rome

To plead their own cases
to all of their father's

Land.

Even from the grave,

Our father's hand
reaches out to strangle us.

Finally,
something we both agree on.

Neither son gets the big prize
that they want.

Archeologist gets the territory
around jerusalem.

Known as judea antipas gets
galilee and perea and a third

Son, philip, gets the north
eastern portion of the kingdom.

Herodias.

Do you remember my brother

Antipas?

I saw you at the funeral.

A sad day.

You know it beautifully.

Herodias is a jewish princess

From the hasmonean line
and the hasmonean were

The jewish rulers who had ruled
for about a century

Before king herod.

The royal pedigree

Makes herodias
a particularly good catch.

She would bring prestige
to anyone

Whom she married.

Now I won't have to kill you.

She will.

Herodias

And antipas
meet in the city of rome.

They fall in love
and they begin a love affair

That is, let us say,
politically loaded.

The problem is
herodias is already married.

She's actually the wife
of antipas, his half brother

Herod, the second

According to matthew's gospel.

The holy family stays in egypt
until herod the great is dead

And they can return
to their home in nazareth.

The impression that
we get is that the holy family

Had been living in egypt
for some time.

We know that herod died
in about two b.C.

Or a little earlier than that.

That means,
of course, jesus was born b.C.

And our calendars are wrong.

I carried us on halfway
across the desert.

I can manage this.

Living with more
than we brought.

His eyes.

And him.

This the region of galilee,
where mary

And joseph are traveling
to, is particularly unsettled.

A local bandit named judas leads
a number of rebels in

Capturing the city of severus,
the capital of galilee.

Judas declares
that he is going to establish

A true jewish dynasty
to rule over a unified

And jewish judea.

The romans recaptured the city

And 2000 jews who were suspected

In participating in the
rebellion are crucified by

The romans.

Do this so that
everyone will know that rebels

And against rome
is not possible.

Resistance is futile.

This violence was taking place
on marian joseph's doorstep.

They may have witnessed
this destruction or maybe even

The crucifixions from nazareth.

He said her head was dead.

He is.

This is the work of the romans.

Only they crucified.

All that work.

The selling of a tree,

The planning of the wood,

Forging of a nail

Just to kill a man.

This violence

Certainly affected
the way that they lived

And perhaps the way
that they raised jesus.

After the family returns.

To nazareth, there's

Basically a 30 year period
before we know anything else.

About jesus.

The gospels

Don't tell us a lot
about jesus early childhood.

We have to. Surmise a bit.
What was jesus life like.

In the beginning?

God created the heavens
and the earth.

Now the earth was formless
and empty.

Darkness was over
the surface of the deep,

And the spirit of god
was hovering over the waters.

And god said,
let there be light.

And that was light.

I think that most people
would be surprised

That think of jesus
with brothers and sisters.

All four gospels
tell us that jesus had

Brothers and sisters.

The idea that jesus would have
had brothers

And sisters

Makes a lot of catholics
uncomfortable

Because of the idea
and the belief

Of the perpetual virginity
of mary.

Catholics would probably say

That these were step brothers
and step sisters, maybe joseph's

Children from a former marriage.

I'm a protestant clergy,
and we believe that once mary.

Gave birth to.

Jesus, she and joseph assumed.

A marital relationship

And god saw

That the light was good

And god separated
the light from the darkness.

The fact that jesus had brothers
and sisters or step

Brothers and sisters was reminds
us that he had a real life,

That he comes from a family.

He lives in a real town.

He lives a real human life.

And the darkness he called night

And the evening and the morning

Were the first day.

One day you will teach me.

He will teach the world.

There is only one line
that the gospel of luke

Gives us that covers
about 20 years of jesus's life.

It says that he grew in wisdom
and stature

And in favor
with both god and man.

Judea is now

Directly ruled by rome
as one of their provinces.

A few years before, it had

Been ruled by herod, our
as one of herod, the great sons.

But he proved so cruel
and stupid

That augustus
finally got rid of him

And sent him off into exile
in France.

In 26 a.D., a new roman
governor arrives

In the province of judea
by the name of pontius pilate.

May god to rise.

May his.

Enemies be scattered.

Highly to somebody
that we actually know a fair

Bit about, because he's written
about in external sources.

Like spoke.

Highly,
comes from the equestrian class.

That's the lowest of the three
roman noble classes.

And he's probably made a name
for himself

Fighting barbarians
on the fringes of the empire.

The lord is there to write and

He will crush kings
until the day of his wrath.

He will judge the nations.

You know, the germans fought for
their land and their families.

This is not a horde of religious
fanatics like.

Wax well before the fire.

They all the wicked barbarous
before god.

The lord is that your right hand

Will crush every ruler.

He will shock and crush kings.

You should learn.

To speak latin.

People might listen.

Unlike what
we read in the gospels,

Particularly the gospel of john
that paints

Pilot as a sympathetic character
or maybe even philosophical

Pilot, was not a nice guy.

He was profoundly anti

Semitic,
profoundly anti-semitic.

The judean people are
a troublesome lot for any ruler,

But especially for
and for an occupier.

If pilot is going to be
successful,

The number one quality
he has to have is diplomacy.

Unfortunately,
that seems to be the quality

That pilot
is especially lacking in

What looks.

Get me my robe now.

Early in his term

In office, pilot decides

That he's going to place
the legions under his command

In wintered quarters
in the city of jerusalem.

This means that
the standards of the legions,

Which are themselves
sacred objects and contained

Images of the deified
roman emperor, are now

Going to be in the grounds
of the jewish temple.

From the jewish perspective,
this is an absolute outrage.

Pilot just doesn't care.

He's so blinded
by his dislike of jews

That he doesn't think about it.

Upon hearing of the protests
in jerusalem,

Antipas reaches out to pilot,
trying to convince him

To back down to de-escalate

Savages.

I love.

These disturbances.

Continue as we have no choice
but to respond with force.

Prefect
all I demand is the removal

Of the images of the emperor.

I don't think you

Appreciate how very many jews
who idols do.

I mean, I heard what happened
when my father placed

An eclipse of the temple.

Temple?

Those people outside the entire
province of judah

Is under the jurisdiction of.

Tiberius.

Right now.

He doesn't force you to worship,

And god seeks nothing in return
except for the respect

Used to you.

All I ask is for a little tact.

I saw in the attacks
when your brother slaughtered

Dozens of jewish worshipers
on the steps of the temple.

I am not my brother.

And if you're not removed
to standards

And I'll take my protests
to the emperor himself.

And to pass decides to write

To the emperor tiberius, telling
tiberius what has happened.

Telling tiberius perhaps
this whole provincial experiment

Isn't a great idea
and that maybe octopus

Should be given back control
of his family's territory.

The jews are not

Happy about increasingly direct
roman rule,

But they're not strong enough
to kick these rulers out.

So instead, resistance
takes other forms

On the banks of
the jordan is a prophet

Who thinks the romans days
are numbered.

Repent

For the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
