important ever came from Galilee.

A miracle worker from Galilee.

Jesus!Jesus!

Looks like a quiet place.

Rope. That's it.

Take the rope.

Lock it off.

Rabbi, let me help you.

it's Jesus!

There he is!

They've come a long way.

They're hungry.

- Give them food.

- But how? We have nothing.

Just a few fish

and some bread.

Bring them to me.

Thank you, Father,

for what you bring us.

Our Father in heaven

feeds the birds of the air.

How much more

will he give to you?

Don't worry about daily needs.

God will provide.

Put God first,

and everything else will follow.

If you hunger for righteousness,

you will be filled...

through me.

He said, Ask-

and it will be given.

John, we can feed them all.

From God.

It's from God!

Messiah!

Messiah! Messiah!

Messiah!

Messiah! Messiah!

Messiah! Messiah!

Messiah! Messiah! Messiah!

Messiah!

Messiah!

They want you to be their king.

King of the Jews!

You can lead us like an army. We're

strong enough to beat the Romans.

No. No, this is not the way.

Not by force.

- Messiah! Messiah!

- Our king!

Messiah! Messiah!

Peter, where is he going?

What's wrong?

Messiah!

5,000 came to see him.

5,000.

Now they shout Messiah.

The people today-

they called you king.

They think

you are a messiah.

But you seem

to ignore them.

Aren't you

going to be our king?

Who do you think I am?

You are the Son of God.

You can't have known this

by what you know of me, Peter.

It has been revealed

to you by God.

You are Peter,

and on this rock...

I will build my church.

Tomorrow I will meet you

on the other shore.

Why did he walk away

just when we're getting strong?

Surely a messiah

wouldn't leave us like this.

A messiah should be a-a warrior,

a conqueror like David.

Judas,

force is not the way.

So tell me what the way

of the Messiah is.

He's different.

But, Mary,

what if he's not the one?

We're risking our lives.

For what?

Thomas! He has shown us his power.

We must have faith in him.

He said he'd meet us

on the other side. Let's go!

Take the sail down!

Tie everything down!

This is too dangerous! We should

turn back while we still can!

You heard what he said.

He wants us to cross.

What is that?

There!

It's a ghost.

No, Thomas. it's Jesus!

He is the messiah.

Peter.

Peter, what are you doing?

Don't be afraid.

Come.

Peter!

Peter.

You of little faith,

why did you doubt?

Who do you think lam?

The Son of God.

Make way for

the high priest!

Make way

for the high priest!

Papa! They're coming!

Malchus.

Malchus!

Malchus, what's happening?

It's another protest,

High Priest.

We need to get you out of here.

It's turning into a riot.

Get the master back to his

residence quick as you can.

What is all this about?

The aqueduct.

The people are furious that the Romans

used the temple funds to build it.

Hundreds are heading to

complain to Pilate. What?

He'll have them cut down before

they can get anywhere near him.

- Thieves!

- Scum!

Filthy Roman scum!

Just give it back!

Jerusalem needs water.

You think

your god brings it?

No, he does not.

Rome does.

It's time you understood

what your masters do for you.

There's nothing

Pilate won't do to keep control.

Martha, what's wrong?

My brother is dead.

Show me the tomb.

He's been dead four days.

Lazarus.

I am...

the resurrection...

and the life.

Anyone who believes in me,

even if he dies,

he will still have life.

Lazarus.

My brother.

Whoever believes in me...

shall never die.

Believe in me,

and you will see

the glory of God.

I knew that word

of such a miracle would spread fast

No one could Ignore it,

least of all the authorities.

Caiaphas.

They say this Jesus has

raised a man from the dead.

What?

He- He could come here, to

Jerusalem, for Passover. No.

But if he comes with

thousands of supporters-

The city will already be breaking at the

seams with those arriving for the festival.

Nicodemus,

you are right.

The Romans will step in.

We must not allow

this miracle man, this fraud,

to disrupt Passover.

Does Pilate know?

Hmm.

Where's my wife?

It's late.

Claudia, what?

I saw a man...

in a dream.

A man being beaten...

and killed.

An innocent man!

A holy man.

A good man.

Help your lady back to bed. No!

It was a warning.

It was you who killed him.

Come on. Quick. Hurry.

Mary! He's here.

Who? Jesus! He's back, at last.

Lady, I believe your son is

the promised king of his people.

What is his name?

His name is Jesus.

Amen

Amen.

Jesus will now

read from Isaiah.

The spirit of the Lord...

is upon me,

because he has anointed me...

to preach good news

to the poor.

He has sent me...

to declare freedom

for the captives...

and recovery of sight

for the blind,

to set free

those who are oppressed.

Today,

this scripture...

is fulfilled.

What are you saying?

What are you saying- that

you have achieved all this?

That you are the messiah,

the chosen one?

Sent by God? No!

I'm saying you must

accept God's word.

How dare you!

That is sacrilege!

He has never studied the law!

This man knows nothing!

His healing

is the work of demons.

It has begun.

He undermines our faith!

He recruits adulterers!

Peter,

turn the other cheek.

You'll pay the price

for this.

Like your friend

John the Baptist.

You haven't heard, have you?

He was executed.

Beheaded!

He was a good man.

Baptize me.

John was the greatest teacher

I ever knew.

He was more than a prophet.

Our work goes on.

Soon we go to Jerusalem.

Jerusalem.

It's too soon.

It's too dangerous!

We're not ready.

Judas, why are we all here?

To take the easy path?

We must take the message

to Jerusalem.

Right to the heart of power.

We set out for Jerusalem.

Thousands were heading there

for the festival of Passover.

The Messiah! Bring your palms.

Messiah! Messiah!

Bring your palm leaves!

There he is! There he is!

Hosanna!

This way. This way.

Look at this.

Messiah! Hosanna!

Messiah!

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Where is he now? He's

just entered the city.

On a donkey.

See, your king comes to you,

righteous and victorious,

humble...

and riding on a donkey.

Where is he headed?

Towards the temple.

He must not interfere

with Passover.

God will bring his wrath

down upon all of us.

And... who knows

what Pilate will do...

if the crowds

run out of control.

Nicodemus,

go with Malchus.

If he enters the temple,

watch him.

Do not blink.

Go.

Jesus!

The kingdom is coming!

Jesus!

The kingdom is coming!

Messiah!

That's Barabbas.

Messiah!

King of Israel,

why don't you make us free?

Save us

from the Romans, Lord.

We come in peace, Barabbas.

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Get out of the way.

Get back.

it's Jesus.

He's going into the temple.

You exchange money here?

Yes.

Change your money here!

Two and a five.

I give you one.

Exchange here! Don't

like the look of this.

Jesus.

No!

Jesus, please.

Please.

Is it not written-

Wait.
