be your brother's wife I said I loved
her you will put this thought from your
mind this love from your heart that I
can't do if you could read my heart
you'd see but you can't all your noise
your books of the law speak to me so
your father I know you could have me
stone for speaking like this but for
once let there be truth between us Joel
how can I give up a love that's as great
as my love for Israel you look at me did
you see only what you want me to be not
what I am I shall beat you I'm not a
scholar I'm a patriot and I sell it you
you are a seller father hi no static
this is my affair you belong to that.
Park yup violence violence is the only
answer to Rome but it must be a nation's
violence what else can save us your
scrolls are dust your law is dead cave
our law is alive with the breath of
Moses and Abraham and all the prophets
men we're beasts until our law called
them to be the chosen of the Lord and
the Lord Himself came first into the
minds of men through the word that is
our law if there is just an outlaw it is
the desk of which the world was made
father I know you speak from your heart
but my heart speaks too and I I don't
want to go in anger you say Go Go we're
on a journey I planned he's going to
seek the Messiah some wonder-worker
Nathan told him about you you mean the
carpenter of Nazareth yes
you you're going to seek Him he may be
the savior of our people if you go from
my house you will no longer be my son
all my life I've Abed you without
question
I can obey you're no longer and go Oh
before I forget these I loved and
cherished you go before I curse you
yes
take it
don't you realize what an excellent
match I've made for you.
Lamech held out for 2,000 goals I'd have
given him three then you should rejoice
it is betrothal now isn't every girl as
a father with brains enough to marry her
to a son describe huh no all right you
can go now
hm well what is it what is it what is it
Rachel said she heard the prisoners have
escaped escaped oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
there be more trouble with this why do
you bring bad news into my house
I'm willing to go with you anywhere you
were coming for me weren't you
you said we'd leave the village to eat
some more we are going I'm going alone
the village is in great danger I must
get help if I can but it's more than
that it's greater than the life of any
one village or any one of us what are
you saying I'm going in search of a man
who may be the king that we need to lead
us an open war against Rome why it must
come if we're ever going to be anything
but slaves why must there be war why
must men fight
I don't care anything about this king
all I want is to be your wife and bear
your children that's all like please
take me with you I can't take
but it must be now I may never have the
courage again my journeys successful
there may be a chance new life for all
of us if this man is the Messiah and
this hope of freedom for Israel
If any man will come after me let him
deny himself and take up his cross and
follow me
who is this man I never saw him before
and yet he spoke to me as if he knew me
that's how I felt the first time he
spoke to me.
It was as if he called me by my name and
I'm seeking the man of Galilee I heard
he was near here you found him
no Huck I mean Jesus of Nazareth he was
called King of the Jews
this is he but where the multitudes that
falling he came here to escape the
multitude then it is true he has many
followers they increased even as the
flocks of a Good Shepherd but he has
more the look of a poor pilgrim than a
king his power and greater than that of
any king my friend what sort of power
you mean he's a magician as some people
say being called worse names than laughs
I must speak with him not now
the son of man has come not to destroy
men's lives but to save them
thou son of David have mercy on me
What wilt thou that I should do unto
thee Lord that I may receive my sight
believe ye that I am able to do this J.
Lord receive thy sight
who thy way
thy faith hath me be
I am a witness to you pause
I pray that you will use it to draw our
people together that we may smite our
enemies there's need for haste all the
country to the south is overrun by the.
Romans but there are thousands like me
sworn zealots ready to join your forces.
Master we offer you our Allegiance and
our swords all they they take up the
sword shall perish with the sword
put it away my friend he's the one man
who has no use for it.
Oh useful you mean he isn't ready to
take a bombs he'll never take up arms.
I don't agree with that I feel as you do
that our master must soon draw the sword
come along with us you and I together
may persuade him twenty rule to
Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover
my village lies on that road in why not
I would like to know more of this man
where he certainly has great authority
he has indeed I'm Joe son of lamech the
scribe
I am called Judas
For what is a man profited if he shall
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul I say unto thee
arise and take up thy bed and go thy way
blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed
are they that mourn for they shall be
comforted blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the earth blessed are they
which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness for they shall be filled
blessed are the merciful for they shall
obtain mercy blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall see God
blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness sake for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven blessed are the
- peacemakers for they shall be called the
- children of God
I'm convinced he'll never take up arms
unless he's forced to the right you know
there were certain men before you joined
us who tried to seize him and force him
to be king yes
what happened he sensed their purpose
and escaped him if those men had
succeeded the history of Israel might
have been changed but they did not
succeed
or without fathers - here lies my
village the master will pass through it
he has friends in every village I'm
going on
Your camp here only this time no
blunders Claudian
most centuries around the wall when we
keep them out of sight come
But anyone enter but no one leaves the
village tonight you understand you have
your orders I'll be at the inn keep a
strict watch these people have a
fondness for striking in the dark
celebration tonight yes is the marriage
ascetic son of the scribe better I
remember him so he's getting married
mean to Tama told her a jam you a toast
the bride
well why don't you drink right I've had
enough I but we most of the village for
the town would marry Joel or Joel as
ethics brother mighty be the fellow I
knocked down on the square I yes yes why
