of the small Galilean town of Nazareth some of us would you will read it for us alright old man but I don't think you'll like what it says by order of his Excellency the emperor of Rome these are augustus all people are to return to the city of their birth to be counted for taxation oh but I'm too old for such as if I can travel all the way no one is too old or too young to obey the orders of Caesar old man if deeper is the city of your birth then you'll soon be leaving for Hebron neither has given an order your own King Herod will see that each of you carries it out Mary Mary what's wrong a ruling from Caesar Mary we must all return to the city of our birth to be counted return to Bethlehem no I'm sorry Mary I know it's a long trip for you to take and with the baby due to come so soon but there's nothing we can do about it yes it would be all right the Lord will take care of it but what he given us the promise of this child if the child were never to be born no no he wouldn't but and remember the Scriptures say the Savior will be born in the City of David Bethlehem Mary and Joseph wasted no time they started out on the long journey to Bethlehem Mary's heart was peaceful she thought back to the day many months ago when the angel of the Lord appeared before her she thought again of the startling news he brought her that God had chosen her to be the mother of the Christ child Mary come back from your dream world look ahead Bethlehem and now to find a place to stay the small Judean city was crowded at night with others who had come to register their names for Caesar census Joseph and Mary wandered through the streets they went from one into another looking for someplace any place to stay for the night it looked hopeless as they entered the last in no no no I have nothing we're all filled up but my wife she'll be having a baby soon I'm sorry but that still doesn't give me any extra room I have no place to put you please father I can help these people yeah you know what can you do for them son well I I can fix up the stable for them we can see out there my boys are you willing to spend the night with the animals yes we'll gladly stay with the animals and we thank you young man we thank you it wasn't long before Joseph and Mary were settled among the animals Joseph's thoughts wandered to the future he wondered what God had in mind for them that's strange I've never seen such a bright star before it's almost as if it's shining right down on us Mary come look at it very baby the hills surrounding Bethlehem were good for grazing sheep young Jarrod was glad to be away from the crowded little town for even one life he liked it in the quiet Hills with his uncle and his uncle's sheep come Jared it's time to give the Sheep a drink may I give the Lambs water from my cup of garage all right then we'll take them over the ridge there and let them sleep for the night with the other sheep several shepherds Jared we stay together so that it's easier to protect our sheep these hills can be a dangerous place at night [Music] there you hear that mm-hmm yes you'll have to be on guard tonight they're as bad as robbers the way they kill and steal our sheep he'll come along now it's getting dark who's to stand the first watch tonight rush how about the youngster well Jared do you think you could stay awake while the rest of us sleep awhile I can do it now it's an important job you must watch and listen closely so no wolves sneak up on us we can already hear them in the distance [Music] [Applause] [Music] was close Jared that was close I'll stay awake with you now we'll keep watch together it's a clear night stars have never seen so bright I don't know Jared do not be afraid I think it's an angel Jared an angel from heaven I am Gabriel and I bring you news of great joy for all the world today in the city of Bethlehem a savior is born you will find the baby wrapped only in blankets and lying in a manger [Music] they've disappeared rush what are you doing putting out the campfire 'high if the Messiah has been born tonight we must find him and worship Him King Herod was worried news of the birth of a baby had reached Jerusalem even the palace servants were whispering among themselves finally Herod called his trusted servant Rima I've had enough of this whispering Rima why should the birth of a baby cause such excitement this isn't an ordinary baby sire some people believe their king has been born their king I am their king yes sire but the scriptures say that a messiah will be born a King of the Jews some of the people

Jerusalem who have heard the story there are three strangers from the east what about them they are looking for the king of the Jews they say they saw his star in the east and have come to worship Him

cousin John is there preaching I want to find him John you haven't seen him since you were children you'd leave your home and your shop to go to him his preaching is important he's baptizing all those

welcome well then I'd better hurry where are the others they went to the marketplace oh you didn't want to go no I wanted to talk more with Jesus Peter I'm sorry for the way I acted the other day the

helping serve the dinner please help yourself now mother what's wrong someone must have made a mistake when they ordered the wine it's all gone and guests are still arriving mother do you know what would happen if I take care of this for you everyone will see the power of God that is with me it's all right I will take care of it Naomi do whatever Jesus asked Naomi have some of the other servants take six water jars out to the well and fill them with water there my three are filled I'm ready why are you men bothering with water now don't you know we're out of wine yes sir but we were told to bill these watered water won't satisfy guests who are wishing for one if I asked them to do it Judah for some tasted all right but I still it's delicious why I don't understand Nathanael did you see that Jesus turned water into wine I had no idea he could do such things this is only the beginning Nathanael you'll see many many more signs of God's love for his people have you heard Jesus is back it's about time he got around to doing something his own but I heard him say he came home to preach not to perform miracle what we can hear preaching anytime we want some of those miracles he's been performing everywhere else am I too late Jesus already started preaching mmm quite a while ago Levi here ed from the prophet Isaiah and he said that God sent him to preach to the poor about the miracle says that they said anything about miracles as mentioned them the people are getting restless I need their anyway what does he mean God sent him why can't he do any miracles if God sent in well I haven't forgotten he was nothing but a carpenter here in desert his father before him yeah and what about you Shechem have you seen him do anything great for his own people well I know they say he does great things but I've never seen any proof of it Jesus we've got sick people right here in Nazareth if you have so much power why don't you cure some of them my neighbors listen to me I know you expect me to do great things for you because you're my people but that's not always possible sometimes God has chosen a stranger to come in and do his work who have known me all my life should understand what I'm trying to do you should believe in me but instead you make it harder for me than in any place I've gone that's a fine thing to say us to wear to listen to anymore I say away with him out of our synagogue if we drive the mouse today you'll just come back tomorrow you've got to do away with him with him over we take him to the hill about the city what I don't miracle you have when we throw him over there [Music] here we are Jesus do you recognize this view at your home town below I've been on this hill many times look way over there here's your old house it yes I see it and there there's your carpenter's shop you are a good carpenter Jesus you read content to stay here well you have to have more than what Nazareth could give you so bad for you Jesus well that's enough talking open Levi in such a hurry you take over I didn't mean that but well I I just don't like the way she doesn't like the way things are being [Music] well what's the matter with all of you are you losing your nerve the way old it how you going to let him get away with this again I can't explain it hope it but even though we were many and he was alone I still felt as if we were helpless against him what kind of man is he [Music] well are they will others Borja fine good morning Tiffany maybe they stopped to listen to Jesus he's preaching right over the ridge there but there are nets to mend and thoughts to Arshad we all had a bad night on the lake maybe they thought they needed a few minutes off before they got back to work and no fish again last night well what can you expect from such half-hearted fishermen as all you have become the House deputy that's not true we loved the scene but you love to follow that Nazarene around and listen to impeach - yes I can't deny that now look someone's stealing your folks while you stand around daydreaming hey what are you doing that's my boat it's all right it's only me Jesus I'm sorry I couldn't tell the crowd has gotten too big I'd like to sit out on the water while I preach may I use your boat of course they'll be able to hear me better from a boat why don't you come with me Peter the people were moved by your word Jesus thank you for asking me to come oh but I'm afraid I took up some of your fishing time Peter fishing time no time is fishing time lately no fish nothing throw your net over the side here we fished all night and came in with empty Nets Jesus but if you say so Oh going to Jesus what's happening oh I'm not worthy to have you show me such great power I'm not worthy to even be with you it's all right Peter from now on I want you to be a Fisher of men Fisher of men I don't understand look on the shore James and John are waiting to see your catch come let's go into them I've never seen such a catch so I've been who catches this it's mine Zebedee do the half-hearted fishermen know it's Peters cat Zebedee what do you know about fishing I was with Peter when he caught these fish now I've asked him and Andrew to come with me to become fishers of men fishers of men what kind of double-talk is that I want Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing and follow me I want them to begin new work with me that's fine if they're so foolish let them go you just leave all the more efficiently see for my science I want your sons to come with me too all right Jesus we didn't know we'll follow you home no I forbid it my sons are fishermen I've taught them everything I know about the sea but father we never fishermen you belong on the sea I'm sorry father but we belong with Jesus your sons will still be fishermen Zebedee but the catch they go after will be more valuable than the fish of the sea [Music] you're wasting your time Jesus these people are sinners yes Jesus leave them alone they are lost to God no no you're wrong let me ask you when you've lost something you look forward until you find the torture where what like a silver coin for a sheep from your flock or get to the punch Jesus you may understand that I have told you a story once there was a man were two sons one day his younger son said to him you're rich aren't your father done all right my son one day when I die and you and your brother divide the property you should have enough money to last for a lifetime could I have my money now father yes while I'm young enough and strong enough to enjoy it stupid don't you know you'll only wasted father's hard earned money my son if you want what's coming to you now then you shall have it so the younger son took his portion of his father's estate and went to live in another country he's a rich one it's not fair from one man they have so much money he knew it should be spread out to other like mm-hmm let's see how much of a sucker he is a man of taste look friend that the beautiful clothes this man by inserting well get it shoot him do you like it exceedingly well thank you very much how would you gentlemen like to join me for dinner the dinner turned into a great party and the great party turned into weeks and months of wild living until the younger son discovered that he didn't have one gold piece to his name please just alone me give money to you when could you ever pay me back you a beggar so the younger son began to look for a job he found one feeding pigs the pigs get better food than I look here's something I can eat father servants never go hungry no father how sorry I am that I was so selfish if only you could forgive me or hire me yes I could be a servant in my father's house weak with hunger and as ashamed as any son has been the younger son returned home to be a servant in his father's house but when the father saw his son coming my son my last son has come yes Father I am lost if you need another servant I would gladly do anything servant my beloved son come all those who are within prepare a feast for my lost son has returned your father once you inside for the celebration never I want no part of this please come it's unfair I've been here all these years I've been good and my brother hasn't done one good thing and yet you give him a party son you are always with me and everything I have is yours but your brother was dead to me now come now we will celebrate so you see our Father in heaven is also happy when a sinful man or child returns to him not only is the sinner welcomed into our father's house but all of God's people celebrate his return excuse me please could we get through excuse me it's no use Michael we'll never be able to get close enough to speak to him how are you do it help me God so unhappy by the things I have done that now he has kept me from seeing the one man who could don't give up yet Kahlan it was the power of Jesus to heal that drew such a big crowd today it wasn't just him that's true but Jesus won't stay overnight and better say to Michael I heard someone say he's going home to Capernaum another chance for me to see that's where you're wrong Kalin if Jesus is going to companion then we'll go to Capernaum and this time I promise you you will see Jesus quit shoving I've been here since morning why should I step aside to let you get closer well Michael it's the same as in Bethsaida we'll never get inside that house just follow me Benjamin I came prepared this time rope what good will that be that's only part of my plan we'll be inside that house before you know it have you lost your senses what are you talking about see those stairs on the side the house will only lead to the roof that's it and today will descend on Jesus like angels from heaven right through a hole in that roof of his come on follow me [Music] there he is there's Jesus right below no I'm afraid to see him he wouldn't want to see such a sinner I was wrong to come here no backing out now Keinath not after we talked a hole in his roof Oh works not done yet then Nicholas fasten this rope to the four corners of Caleb's bed and tightly are we going to lower him down that's right Benjamin will place Caleb right at Jesus feet the things I've done today are only signs of God's puck what's this coming through my ceiling I please forgive us we meant no harm and you caused none come Jesus this is my friend Caleb he says he's afraid to see you because he's done so many bad things in his life but I say you'll help him I do believe you had the power to hear Jesus Caleb your sins are forgiven forgiven did you hear that he speaks as if he is God no man has the right to forgive sins and God alone can do that it can't be possible Kent why are you upset to hear me forgive his sins well it's hard for us to believe that you but you have this power God has given me the power to forgive sins and heal I have done this today so that you may see it and believe get up now Caleb take your bed and go home I am healed Jesus thank you and I thank you Jesus so now the even forgives sin I just don't understand don't you realize what he is saying he's saying that he is God [Music] sir sir what do I have to do to be one of God's children sir you should love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself of my neighbor but I live in the country alone I have no neighbor everyone is your neighbor and you should be a good neighbor to all you'll understand after I tell you a story once there was a merchant who was travelling along the road between Jerusalem and Jericho as you know that road is very dangerous since it is the hideout of bands of thieves and robbers but the merchant wasn't thinking about that he was thinking of all the things that he would buy at the marketplace Oh My yes I'm fragrances and the ladies will love pretty jewelry my store in Jerusalem will grow and faster when I bring back all of these wonderful things what a beautiful beautiful day Tuesday no the merchant was not thinking of the day a plump little merchant just for us with a plump little money pouch yes the merchant aches so much that he could not move he had to wait for some other traveler to come along and help him the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want the first appellant was a priest from the Temple in Jerusalem he thought himself a very religious man and was always praising God now what's that [Music] unfortunate man pretty rough wrote this I'd like to help but must get to Jericho teach the people about God pretend not to see him a spy and the other side that's it yes good I don't think he saw me then the merchant saw Levite one of the temple helpers coming along the road it's great I can't walk any faster and I just got to make it to Jericho in time for the service oops [Music] the merchant and he's been hurt I can't I mustn't State Oh someone's bound to come along and so the Levite passed by he didn't help the wounded merchant but he said that someone else would come along and he was right what's this a Jew for the what is gently Samaritan an enemy from Samaria oh no no please please don't kill me let me lie here I'll die soon enough from my wound no no my Jewish friend I do you no harm yes we're enemies our people fight one another as people always do my brother but is that reason for me to let you die come now let me help you onto my donkey and so the Samaritan helped the Jew he took him to an inn nearby paid for his food and lodgings and only then did he continue on his journey and so I ask you who was the good neighbor in the store the one who helped the merchant then you go my friend and do the same [Music] well well Ruben here comes the old hermit himself I wonder whatever brought him out and after all Samuel it is the Sabbath even the man as unfriendly as Jacob should come to the synagogue to pray true true then again maybe he's heard that the Nazarene is going to be here today the great healer I doubt if even the Nazarene could heal that crippled ham and besides Jacob probably wouldn't be bold enough to show his hand to anyone even if he thought it could be healed look how hide you look when he sits way in the back what a fool the Nazarene how can he resist when he sees Jacobs hand to heal on the Sabbath would he do such a thing let's find out Jesus Jesus could we speak to you please yes Samuel what is it Reuben and I were just having a little discussion about healing we know that you've done some wonderful things am i marvelous things but we were wondering what you think about healing on the Sabbath let me ask you something Reuben suppose that you were a shepherd instead of a Pharisee shepherd what's that got to do what would you do if one of your sheep fell into a pit on set sheep don't see what all this has to do I believe you'd help get the Sheep out of the pit whether it was on the Sabbath or not well yes of course if I were a shepherd isn't a man worth more than a sheep oh so you say it isn't against the law to heal on the Sabbath Jacob whether you are I haven't done anything come stretch out your hand no Jacob the other hand stretch out the other hand no what are you trying to do embarrass me Jacob just do as I say all right Jesus but please I don't want anyone to see you healed my hand by dreaming satisfied Samuel he's done it you see Reuben salmon you see my head yes we see it Jacob we see it's never against the law to do good on the Sabbath quite a feat Jesus I'm certain people will talk of it for some time to come Reuben it's time we leave Jacob's hand has been crippled for 50 years did it have to be healed on the Sabbath couldn't it have waited one more day you don't understand that Azeri doesn't they have any respect for the laws of Moses or the traditions of his own people never I'm afraid he's going to cause a lot of trouble yes but what can we do about it we can do a very important thing we can talk to King Herod about him king headed he's the one with the power we can put an end to this Jesus problem once and for all what do you see exactly I'm saying that if I have my way King Herod will order death for Jesus of Nazareth [Music] [Applause] cut it out Nathan you're gonna turn my bullet over it's the wind Jason nothing can stop the winds aw come on if you don't watch it you're gonna send my boat out to sea and then you'll really be in trouble I'd wait on good for you oh no you wouldn't you know what your father would say is you tried to wait and we'll see of Galilee you really believe all those stories about how bad the Sea of Galilee is of course I do you said yourself nothing can stop the wind yeah but I was only kidding every guard could stop the win why would he want to so Moses could get away from the Egyptians well I don't think the Red Sea is as bad as the Sea of Galilee when it comes to storms even if it is bigger Nathan there it goes why don't you hang on to it I wasn't blowing any wind on it now you didn't have to I think a real wind is coming up now what are you going to do me you said you'd go get it I'm not going out there I didn't do it what's all the excitement boys Jason wants me to rescue his boat Jesus when carried it away Nathan said he'd wade out and get it it would take more than waiting to get your boat now Jason I'm afraid it's gone well I'll tell you what boys Peter and a few of us are going over to the other side how would you like to sail with us in a real boat do you mean it yes it'll be good to rest a while away from the crowds oh Jesus Thanks yeah thanks your parents won't mind Willy oh no Jesus not when we were with you well I'm gonna lie down and see if I can sleep you boys can help keep us on a straight course all right how about this Nathan yeah but my stomach is feeling kind of funny you'd better not look over the side Nathan it's awfully rough out there you did a bad storm Peter hmm I'm afraid so came up pretty fast are we almost to the other side no we've got a long way to go yet Peter you sound your self no one likes a storm at sea Nathan not even an old fisherman like me I can't leave this or someone else will have to help you can you hear the shore no no I can't turn watch out that way [Music] [Applause] boys are you alright master save us we're all going to drown Jesus I don't know I don't know if anything can help us master don't you care if we all drown Oh Peter John have you so little faith master it came up so suddenly it's the worst storm I've ever seen I command the sea to become peaceful the wind to be still what kind of man is this that even the wind's of the sea of bagan didn't you know that Jesus had the power to save us I guess I should have known oh there's so much to learn about Jesus I told you to carry my pack boy not to put it down you ordered me to carry your pack one mile and I've done as you ordered so I see and you're not going to go one step further for a Roman soldier is that it that's it alright boy run along but I warn you you're headed straight for trouble with that attitude of yours [Music] Amos what's going on where's everyone going with no time to talk Steven we're going to hear the Nazarene and he's already started a nursery I've heard about him is that him yes come on along [Music] if anyone tries to take your shirt give him your coat as well or if anyone forces you to go one mile with him go two miles with him did you hear that I just came from being ordered you should give to anyone who begs from you and not refuse anyone who asks to borrow from you yes that famous you'll never believe this just what he's talking about right now I know what he's saying I was coming down the road and this world is Oh Steven I want you to love your enemies pray for those who make trouble for you and when you pray pray like this our Father in Heaven may your name be kept holy may your kingdom come may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven deserted not one person within sight this is perfect master oh I'm afraid you're wrong on both accounts and Rafi it would feel good to rest a bit away from the crowds but that wouldn't be perfect and besides look where did they come from did they follow you here I don't know but let's go meet them it's getting late Master we can't feed all these people you've got to send them away oh I don't think so Angela we can give them something to eat we I have nothing even if there were some place to buy food we don't have the money to buy well then I think we'd better see what we have right here why don't you walk among the people see if they don't have some food excuse me please we're trying to get enough food to feed everyone do you have anything you could sell I have nothing you'll never get enough to feed this crowd you might as well give up how about you do you have anything you'd be willing to share with the others well I I have so little it's just a small lunch my mother packed for me I I really don't think if anything would help you should give to anyone who begs from you and not refuse anyone who asks to borrow from you hi I guess it's really more than a small lunch it's five buns but only two fish well you may you may have it it's all I could get mastered five buns and two small fish this will be fine Andrew but master there must be 10,000 people here this is food enough for birds not for 10,000 people let's give thanks for the food first Andrew then worry about the amount when it runs out blessed art Thou O Lord our God King of the universe who causes bread to come forth from the earth amen now Andrew let's eat I'm hungry but master it'll never be enough to feed everyone look at that Steven every person has been fed and still not home baskets leftover and all from my lunch why with just those leftovers Jesus could feed the whole world I've come to collect how much do you have it's all here take it you're beginning to sound as if you don't like your work sir kid oh no it's all right hmm you used to be one of the finest tax collectors in the Empire you're slacking off and people are poor what I said the people are poor they can't afford taxes you think Caesar cares about that well neither should you if it's guilt you're feeling why not pray to your God for forgiveness now it is your share and I want to see twice this amount next time I come for forgiveness I wish I could but God could never forgive me hey Zacchaeus better hide your money bags the king is here seize her know Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews Jesus oh no he probably be angry to see me collecting taxes like this I would like to see him maybe I could quietly so that no one would know Zacchaeus hurry come down from that tree I must stay at your house today my house oh Jesus you're welcome I'm coming Lord half of everything I own I will give to the poor for truly I took it from them in taxes and to the ones I'd I cheated their word of you had cheated Lord I will give them four times the money I took Zacchaeus your sins are forgiven friends I don't think so Jesus but but what are you doing with the keys yes he's the sinner Zacchaeus was a sinner but he is sorry now really sorry and God has forgiven him what forgiven him how could God forgive him perhaps you understand if I tell you a story once there was a man who had two sons one day he told his older son to go and work in the vineyard but the older son had planned to go swimming with a friend that day and he told his father that he would not work for him then the rich man asked his younger son to work in the vineyard and he was very very pleased when the younger son said right away that he would but on his way to the vineyard the younger son began to think about all the work that he would have to do there he decided that he would rather lie down beneath the tree and sleep as time went by the older son began to feel sorry that he had not done what his father had asked him to do so he left his friend returned home and told his father how sorry he was then for the rest of the day the older son worked in the vineyard tell me which son did what his father wanted him to do the oldest the one who worked he didn't do it right away but he did do it and I tell you Zacchaeus is now doing what God wants him to do he has truly become one of God's children I I thank you Jesus it was for this purpose Zacchaeus that I came into the world to save men you and others like you so that everyone might know the forgiving love of God Jews welcome to Jerusalem Thank You Laban and a happy festival to you I don't know how happy it's going to be this year not a happy Thanksgiving festival who ever heard of such a thing why I've had a wonderful harvest you know that's the reason for this festival and I know it but do they know it please understand you should understand better than most of us cube they're getting ready for your brother Jesus come from well then tell them to go home to their families and celebrate with the rest of us Jesus isn't coming to defeat what are you talking about everyone comes to the Feast of the Tabernacles what we tried to tell him but he wouldn't listen to us just said something about the time not being right what did he mean by that it's beyond me I don't understand him say do you suppose those police would help me put up my tent no no no I tell you Jesus is leading the people away from God he's making fools of all of you oh he's not he's a good man I believe everything he said this morning in the synagogue this morning you heard for yourself he never had any formal training beyond what you and I of head who is he to be teaching us anything he said his teaching was from God and I believe him Eli Aaron arguing during the festival well I didn't travel all the way to Jerusalem to spend my festival time listening to that problem is not a troublemaker I'm down both of you there's nothing to get excited about if it's Jesus you're talking about he isn't coming to the feast apparently you don't follow your own brother very closely Jude Jesus is here what that's right he spoke in the synagogue this morning Jesus here didn't he see all the police there's me afraid of anything I don't know he came into the city quietly but I'm afraid he's heading for trouble Jesus says the key is the Messiah the Savior that Isaiah promised us some of the people even think that we are high priests believe him I have my best men ready to march on the synagogue sir and March there is a way to have everlasting life by believing in me and in God my father who sent me the scriptures say that anyone who believes will have life forever did you hear that I really believe he is the Messiah of prophets promised us we didn't come here to listen to him we came to arrest him arrest the Messiah don't let him fool you he's a Galilean who ever heard of the Messiah coming from Galilee oh but he speaks when Messiah comes my friend he'll be royalty from the house of David from Bethlehem not Galilee now we got a job to do I won't arrest him for I I don't care what you say I won't touch him they what they say they believe in him I couldn't get them to take him Sir it can't be possible even my own men if I could only have a little more time I'm certain that I time this is the last day of the piste there is no more time we made our plans we brought in the men now the week is over and he's still free but Sir you can understand my position I understand that where we fail with our armies he triumphs with his own quiet way what I don't understand is how we'll ever stop him is there anyone in this house who'll fix the chicken for tired travelers Jesus hello it's good to see you Lazarus can you stay a while only long enough for our chicken dinner we're just passing through from Jerusalem to the tavern but that's not long enough Martha and Mary will have lots of news for you we need longer to talk I know Lazarus but it's not safe for me to be so near Jerusalem any longer oh well you know best but if that's the case we'd better get going on this chicken of yours master master bad news for you what is it Thomas Lazarus is very sick and he's so far away from you now don't worry Lazarus won't die a good day for travel travel our friend Lazarus is dead Thomas but I don't understand only two days ago you said he wouldn't die now it's time to go to him Master I didn't think you'd come didn't you know I would Martha if you had been here Lazarus wouldn't have died your brother will rise to life again yes I know that he will live with you in heaven someday Martha I am the one who raises the dead to life whoever believes in Me will never die do you believe that but I'd like to talk to Mary - will you send her to me Martha did you see that what did Martha tell her I don't know but that's the first Mary's moved since we buried Lazarus she must be going to his tomb I think we should follow her she needs our comfort but she's taking the wrong road that's not the way to the droom do you think she's overcome with grief should we stop her no no not yet Mary I know but if you had been here show me where he's buried we'll show you thank you do you see that he must have loved Asura's very much too but he's the one who healed a blind man only last week I saw it myself couldn't he had kept Lazarus from dying well we'll never know Lazarus is dead but Jesus show his love any way he can now my friend moved the stone away oh no it's been four days since we buried haven't I told you that if you believe in me you'll see the glory of God I think he's making a big mistake but we'd better do as he says [Music] father I thank you for listening to my prayer I know that you always hear me and I speak to you now so that those around me might see your power and know that you have sent me Lazarus come out what's he doing cut a cloth from him and let him go so this is how he chose to show his love and the power of God [Music] look here's one football that flea-bitten Oleg forgot the master did say that the donkey should never have been ridden before and I think that he must have meant that one the pretty little girl over there oh yeah that's my daughter you're stealing oh you've got a lot of we were sent by our master or your master day when I slaves that some bandits all know our masters Jesus of Nazareth he both the one they called the Messiah he wants my donkey take her take her to

sing no look it's trying for the temple France tonight's of rosio try to say that Jesus is breaking the law again by riding a donkey on Sunday you must quiet these people Nazarene they call you a king if I were to cry from Caiaphas these very rocks would shout the glory of God but they call you a king tell them you are not tell them because of You priests and others like you who have little faith the people will soon find out about my kingship the time has come [Music] my father's house but temple is crowded with worshipers master worshipers businessmen they come to worship money what are you doing in my father's house this is a house of prayer and yet you sit here and take money from the people you make this holy place at dinner do you turn the Lord holy temple into a common marketplace you have come to the Temple of Jerusalem metalize you preach about God have now come to worship and have you come to hear me teach Master take care I'm not against you master I mustn't stain a good question Caiaphas that will trap him he's a Nazarene that there should not be many changes in the temple his money then sinful it will not get you into the kingdom of heaven a camel could get through the eye of a needle sooner than a rich man who cared only for his wealth could enter the kingdom of glory then what do you say about taxes Jesus is it wrong for these people to pay tribute to Caesar their king a good question this professional claims to be king over Caesar only see there is king here let me see one of those cronies whose picture is this that fella doesn't even know Caesar when he sees you then I say to you give those things to Caesar which belong to Caesar but give to God the things that belong to God the Prophet is never we shall have to be smarter the next time we seek the traffic next time it better be soon [Music] Peter this is strange sometimes I just don't understand hmm don't understand what a few days ago the master sent us for that donkey he knew right where we'd find it and he also knew that the owner would lend it to us yes here we are again looking for a man with a water jug on his head and we'll find you how do you know you said it yourself the master said we would but how can you always be so sure look John there he is sir hmm sir we've just come from our master Jesus of Nazareth we'd like to celebrate the Passover dinner in your house tonight if if

clean and I say that you should all do this for one another in love you know that we love one another Master and you and yet one of you this night will turn me over to those who hate me that I may be killed now it would have been better for that man if he had never been born is it I Lord is it I it is the one who'll take this bread from what you are about to do do quickly just to get more food for the feast another lamb perhaps to slaughter this is the bread of sorrow that our fathers ate in the land of Egypt that everyone who hungers or is in need come eat the Passover meal take each of this bread which I now pass among you for this is my body may be All Merciful make us worthy of the life of the world to come may he make peace for us and for all Israel drink the wine of this cup for this is my blood that I will shed for you that your sins may be forgiven by God [Music] as for me I shall not eat or drink again until we meet in heaven [Music] glad money what would be a sitting price what that fellow out there honest he's one of the followers of the Nazarene and he'll take us to Jesus but for a price there's always one isn't there well Caiaphas how about thirty pieces of silver the price of a slave very good very good but not much of a bargain for us is it how's that our slave will soon be rather dead [Music] what a beautiful night master shall we sleep here under the stars no John tonight is not a night for sleep I ask that you three keep watch for me while I go on yet a little further to pray we will do anything you say Lord even die for you no Peter for it is written in Scripture that all of you shall leave me tonight but master that I shall be alone with those who would kill me we would never leave you no Lord not I even knew the will not crow tonight before you have denied three times that you ever knew but Lord keep watch and let's talk with my father oh I'm sleepy such a big meal we had with the master tonight such wine father you can do anything please

Caiaphas put your sword away Peter no man shall be harmed this night but me my ear it was cut Patrick cut it even right now the Nazarene is healed my ear why did you not arrest me in the temple you were there you see me before and you why do you sneak up at night and take me as you would a common thief Master come we will defend you do you not think that God my father contained the whole armies of angels to save me but it will not be so I must suffer for you all let it be known that I go willingly then what are we waiting around for No come with us Nazarene there are some important people back in the city who are most eager to see you pretty late at night isn't it terrible to be calling a meeting of the Sanhedrin for one were sound too much Passover wine I'll wager yes yes it's late but once you know the reason why I called you you'll see how important this is bring in the prisoner yes the one Christ the one who wants to be king of the Jews even more than that they say he is the son of God which he is not but but why has he been arrested Caiaphas what are the charges lets him a lies against the Living God call the witnesses [Music] you have something to say about the man who calls himself the tribe he said that he will destroy the temple the temple yeah and what and he will rebuild it in three days and yet another witness he has said that he would destroy the temple made with hands and build another in three days without had your blessing no one but the Lord God Almighty could build a temple in three days without hands this man's life explain yourself Jesus of Nazareth have you no difference [Music] answer the court Jesus in the name of the Living God are you the Christ the Son of God you have said so and I say to you that you shall one day see the Son of man coming to you on the clouds of heaven breath [Music] you have heard him what is your judgment [Music] death take him to Pontius Pilate that the Roman government might have him punished [Music] it takes a warm fire on a night like this one over there don't see anybody sure it's a man I bet he's cold too a man come over to the fire it's cold as death out there colder thank you I am cold why do you look so strange don't you know where you are this is the house of a high priest they took Jesus in there a while ago with a goddess yes hey aren't you one of his followers me no no I thought you familiar I've seen you with him no no I don't know who you're talking about you're the one with the saw I saw it too you tried to kill my cousin tonight when he went with the others to arrest Jesus you cut off his ears no you're all wrong I said that I don't know him I tell you Peter before the crows this night you will deny three times that you know me [Music] faster [Music] why do you disturb my rest this man this Jesus here we found him stirring up the people telling them that he's a king the King of the Jews and does the Jews want a king I thought that was what the whole nation was waiting for well why don't you try them men your lawyers taking to your court Ireland you know that it is against our law to put a man to death yet does he deserve so great a punishment he claims to be a king oh very well send him inside that I may question him [Music] hmm you don't look like a king are you I said are you the King of the Jews you have said something but your own people have handed you over to me what have you done I was not meant to be a king in this world but in the world that is to come if I were looking now My servants would have opted to save me so you are alone I am alone [Music] this man has committed no crime he does not deserve to die they no longer follow Caesar great Caesar who say that he is a Galilean are you from Galilee Herod is ruler of Galilee he sleeps here in the city tonight hey Jesus to Herod they should have a sentence by now Herod is sure to find Jesus guilty a quiet hmm who's out fine one of Jesus followers oh yes but this one is an old friend Jordan a friend indeed no I'm no friend kind what didn't you enjoy doing a good deed for a good price good deed turning Jesus over to you to be killed great I'll never live it down take your money back all night oh is this cold in Jerusalem only when you have no place to stay like I do oh so you're just here for Passover - yes and - have a look at this man called Jesus my wife well you know she heard of him and women get curious yeah well would you look over there what quite a man he's hanged himself know him sure this Jesus I was telling you about this man's one of his followers named Judas I think yeah Judas Iscariot for happy a man who was lucky enough to know Christ why in the world would he want to die maybe he just never knew how lucky he was so this is Jesus I've heard much of your teases it is said that you perform magic you turn water into wine and make blind men see again it's trickery Herod it's all part of his plan to fool the people they believe that he's a king the Son of God which a is not Son of God there well that would make you terribly important wouldn't it Jesus more important than me more important than Caesar with ruler of this nation that's why Pilate sent him to you your excellency you must try Pontius Pilate and Jesus to me so I could have me do his dirty work for him ooh dear he's more clever than I thought [Music] sinn docking back two pilots here you are little king a royal robe for your journey back to Pilate now take him away I don't like it and neither do i you said we'd get a swift sentence Caiaphas do you call it swift to go to pilot into header then back to Pilate this is the last time I promise that Jesus will soon be out of the way why do you come to me again I told you once that I find no crime in this man Jesus no crime but he claims to be a king anyone who claims to be a king sets himself against Caesar Caesar listen to hear this pilot do you pardon a man who would overthrow our dominated the law remember that a prisoner can be released on a holy day like today all for them Jesus no no they've never taken they would if you gave them a choice we have many dangerous criminals murderers and thieves but have us yes yes the killer Barabbas the people would never choose him listen to me you people of Judea it is your custom unholy days to pardon and release one of the condemned criminals I offer you a choice Jesus or Barabbas [Music] no they won't not with our help then what am I to do with God bring me a bowl of water that's it the others are picking it up you people like Judea I wash my hands of this affair you do what you want with him but as for me I will not have my hands covered with this man's blood [Music] here he comes oh no no I can't it breaks my heart to remember how wonderful Jesus looks just a few days ago when he rode into Jerusalem when the people were shouting Hosanna and pushing against one another just to touch it pull away this type of even a blessing alone come on Jesus you too you Pheebs you're slowing down it won't be long now when you do to Jesus they take you up the hill with those two teeth why smell em on that crap they wanna kill you why don't we fight and run away I don't think he wants to I can't believe they're really going to kill Jesus fine he deserves it so calls him sought the King of the Jews nobody's King here but Caesar he's not just a king he's the son of God I believe that when I see it come on Jesus we haven't got all day now you've done it well I guess you could use a little help ah you there me who else come carry this alright I only came for the Passover I'm not a part of this well you're a part of it now get a move on lessened save yourself Jesus yes you say you're the Son of God who come down off the cry she's right if you are the son of God save yourself and AH what are you saying don't you fear God we are guilty and deserve this torture but Jesus has done nothing wrong truly I say to you we shall be together in paradise your turn Julius come on Julius throw the dice winner gets the robe the fine robe of the King of the Jews no no I don't want his roll there's something strange going on here [Music] Father forgive them for they know not what they do into your hands I give up my spirit Finnish man was not guilty of any crime he was a son of God [Music] pilot what have you done what now Caiaphas the followers of Jesus have taken his party to a tomb in the garden I know I gave them permission to do so he's promised on the third day I will rise from the dead don't really believe that do you honest course he doesn't believe it we're the ones who found Jesus guilty of Lies against God if you remember its its followers what they should steal the body from the tomb and then claim that eros the people would believe it you know they want to believe it and if they do pilots you're going to have a hard time governing them all right all right I'll have a stone placed before the door of the tomb so that the Dead won't get up and walk out a heavy stone [Music] oh no Madeline they're strong as an arts but how could you roll the stone away from the tomb if we must anoint Jesus with burial oars it would be wrong not to grow find someone to help us we won't need any help how come how don't go in it the trick he's gone [Music] donut is healthy how did they move it come Mary we must help either in the other no it was no dream Peter Mary sauce to the stone was rolled away and the body of Jesus Peter what are you waiting for from yes yes job it is true go on in now you John the body is gone only the linen clothes are there grave robbers do you think that Jesus stunk I don't know come let us tell the others aren't you coming with us Magdalene no no I want to stay here a moment and think [Music] woman why are you weeping because someone has taken away the body of my lord and I don't know whether you believe him who is it that you are looking for so if you have carried him away please tell me where you have laid him Mary Magdalene Magdalen go to my disciples my brothers and tell them that I have risen from the dead tell them that I will soon believe in you tell them Peter John wait please good news I have been the Lord he lives the Lord lives [Music] the body is gone Jesus the one we named the cross his body is gone the grave is empty he's risen reson you home did you see this happen soldier no sir but this is what everyone is saying sir Jesus rose from the dead leader sir well we say that his body was stolen and you will say that his body was stolen soldier but his followers people believe that no matter when you tell them that his body was stolen they will believe you not one fish since Jesus died nothing's gone right do you believe that Jesus is still alive but he walked out of his grave after being nailed to a cross not me if I could see him and touch the holes where the nails went through his hand then I believe it till then no Thomas doubting Thomas you'll find it hard to believe anything till you see it don't you and who are you to talk either when Jesus was arrested you told people that you didn't even know who he was after following him for two whole years I know I did you don't have to tell me three times I denied him and the thousand times since I've wished that I could go to him and beg him to forgive me Peter to scare the fish have you any fish there are no fish in the sea today cast your net on the other side of the boat he doesn't look like a fish but maybe why not it's me I'm coming master Oh master you are alive forgive me Peter do you love me yes Lord you know that I love you then feed my lambs care for my people Peter do you love me more than the others yes Lord you know that too and tend my sheep care for my people Peter do you love me Oh master three times you asked and three times I say that I love you yes Peter feed my lambs care for my people it is the master do you not have faith that I live Thomas see my hands am i a spirit my Lord and my God because you have seen me Thomas you believe that I came back from the dead blessed are those that have not seen and yet believe master the high priest has been telling everyone that we stole you from the grave don't be afraid soon I will send my spirit to be with you to fill you with power that you have never felt before when the Spirit comes you will say to all the people on the earth that you have seen the Son of God the soldiers are after us Lord even now we hide from them we remember that on the wonderful day when you came back from the dead you told us not to be afraid but your Holy Spirit would come to us and give us strength but Lord it's been 40 days since you died and we're still afraid listen what's that fun here it sounds like hoofbeats Roman soldiers yes the legion brothers be quiet please can't be soldiers so this is what you meant Lord when you said that the Holy Spirit would come Oh Lord I feel build up with your strength from head to toe filled to overflowing Lord [Music] who will come with me to preach the Word of God I will be none of Roman soldiers or the high priest Caiaphas or anyone John brothers come we have work to do [Music] the followers of Jesus are preaching again I thought we had them scared into silence no kindness they do not scare easily it would seem look on the brighter side now that they have come out of hiding it won't be difficult to find them we can wait Oh Peter how wonderful it is not to be afraid anymore to even go to the temple in broad daylight money money for a poor man who cannot walk or work to earn a living you can't walk no sir I can't look at us money good sir you have money to give no I have no silver or gold but I will give you what I do have in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth walk no what what are you trying to do to me walk but I was born lame you will help me walk no I can't make you walk Jesus Christ in whose name I speak can now walk I can do it look at me everyone it's true it's a miracle please God for his loving mirek believe in this you have seen it happen before your eyes believe to that Jesus who was murdered on the cross rose from the dead and went to the kingdom of heaven for with our eyes we saw that happen soldiers that's all for today preachers no more miracles you're under arrest the high priest Caiaphas wants to see you [Music] that is all you can say is it just more lies about a dead man who lives a Holy Spirit that moves you to speak how sorry I am that you will not let yourself believe it Caiaphas the Caiaphas after that miracle today it would cause a riot if we laid a hand on these men well let this be a warning nail Peter and Andrew the others who preached with you we don't ever want to see you preaching again if you don't want to see us Caiaphas don't come looking for us for preach we will wherever and whenever we can by the grace of God Caiaphas until the day we die Paris we've been kind of these people these Jesus lovers long enough the worst is a new one named Steven is dangerous in our position as priest caiaphas we could bring him to trial they should all be done away with for good we wouldn't dare but perhaps someone could be found who would handle this as our special assignment masters there's someone outside to see later were busy yes sir but he says it's important name is Saul of Tarsus sir so seen him in so a friend of our cause already he's killed many of the followers of Jesus a few more wouldn't be too much trouble today no trouble at all for us peace be upon you Saul of Tarsus come in we have a little job for you to do they accuse you Stephen of preaching against the devil telling the people that the criminal Jesus was the son of God you stiff-necked people who are the ones who betrayed him yes you are the ones who murder the son of God you men know what to do don't you yes there's only one way to deal with these preachers come along creatures Stephen that trip to the outskirts of town will be good for your help of you know how to duck Stephen how to jump away from flying rock they sure could be bad for your health do not hold this sin against and Lord Jesus I'm coming to be with you well you were right about so from now on we'll put him in charge of getting rid of all that Jesus preachers throughout the land nothing's going to stop him [Music] never seen anything like it in all my marches with Caesar we never went this pace he can't wait to reach Damascus so we can arrest a few more of those followers of Jesus not one sorry feeling in his whole body

fact that the Lord would grant your prayers when my chains fell away from me and something told me to escape you asked that our prayers be granted yes every one of them and at that moment we were praying for you that you might be set free brothers our darkest hours now one of our greatest come let us pray again this time to thank the Lord for the blessings he has given us this day how can we believe you you're a stranger in our country we don't understand you I've never heard of the man Jesus if he came back to life from the dead why hasn't anyone ever told us others men of Lystra that's what I'm telling you now this man Jesus was the son of God let me let me tell you what he did he performed miracles he made the lame to walk again who made the lame walk Jesus dead brother when I see him I want him to make me walk again we believe that if you saw Jesus he could make you walk again you just said so didn't you I believe you sir wonderful things happen to those who believe stand up and walk I I can't look at me I can't walk Jesus are you Jesus no I'm not Jesus but through me Jesus has done this for you I've seen enough so if I come on everyone we know what we must do Paul you preach well but Barnabas people where are they gone I think that we'd better get out of here too Paul remember what happened in Iconium when they tried to stone us to death yes I will remember come Paul what about he doesn't seem to want to leave you you'd better go home brother you're not safe with us but you healed me I am safe with you forever Master now if you don't understand the others will be back soon it'll be a long time before they return very well but when they do you better be at home or they'll kill you to kill yes when they come to kill us no no you're joking Master you said yourself that a God does not die no do they go to lay sacrifices on your shrine what to worship You Master to honor you they believe as you asked and have gone to the temple to honor you they think I'm God well aren't you don't worship Me worship Jesus as I told you worship Christ you told it to believe you now you tell us that you lied no Barnabas why won't they listen hurry Paul we've learned one thing on our travels anywhere what's that we've learned how to run come on slow down Barnabas we should be safe just a little farther Paul a stone can travel faster than we can Paul C Master I can even run with you Master is he dead did how could he die don't you believe in him either Paul Paul Barnabas mr. Lazarus no they turned back I guess they thought they killed you I knew they couldn't kill you Master didn't I I failed horribly well there's one good thing what he can walk again yes God was good to him and I can talk again wherever the Holy Spirit sent us you won't come here again oh yes Barnabas I won't give up on them there are some who believe in Jesus and many more who will someday I'll be back I'll be back these men are servant of the Most High God they will show you the way to salvation listen to the servants of God and you will be don't look now Paul but there she is again the crazy woman now Silas she's not crazy but she is filled with an evil spirit he only just arrived here in Philippi she's never met us and yet she knows that we came here to preach that we are servants of Christ you mean like a fortune teller she can tell the future in no way an evil way she's a slave belonging to a group of merchants who make money by selling the fortune she tells why does she tell them that she can't help herself but through the powers of Jesus I can woman woman you are filled with an evil spirit evil spirit I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her in the name of Jesus come out Paul look out Bironas what have you done to our slave she dead dead no she's going to begin living her own life I don't know what he means but he's right she's breathing but can she still tell fortunes tester fortune tell her could you hear me come woman prophesy who is this man I don't know I never met him is he a servant of God maybe maybe not I told you I've never met him before home I don't know use your special powers woman powers I don't have any powers it's not just dazed we're lost no more can we sell the information she gives you ruined us why did you do it I have come to your country to preach to the people to save them from evil well let's see if you can save yourself preacher grab him no take your hands off him or you want to join in the fun well there's room enough in our prison here for [Music] well Paul we can't very well go to the people now can we I guess if this is the end of it or the beginning think so and and you fine look my chains fell off mine to the door it came open Oh Paul now you can go to the people no no Silas wait a moment I think someone's coming to us footsteps on the hallway there if the two preachers are gone I'll be tortured for sure I hear that they preach of hope there's no hope for me now no no the doors are open they're gone I don't want to be tortured better to end it all now no stop we haven't escaped no as long as the Spirit of Jesus is with us we have no need to escape from anything oh please you must then tell me of this wonderful spirit of Jesus ever since I heard of the good thing you did for the slave girl I wanted to talk to you but I've been afraid no need to be afraid my friend there are others too my whole family wants to hear you preach your whole family is and others many others Silas I'm certain that this was God's plan the beginning of the church in Philippi as soon as we're set free there will be much work to do then you will come to us and say a few words about Jesus a few words brother you have no idea you'll never hear the end of it don't go Paul will send someone else our Lord Jesus went to Jerusalem Philippi as Paul and died there but he left behind many followers who are now being imprisoned by the Romans at who need money to stay alive it's for this cycle you know that the followers need me there but if the Romans catch you Philip I am ready not only to be put in prison but even to die for the name of Jesus Oh [Music] [Applause] Joe dear nephew how did you I slipped in past the guard I only have a moment you see I live with some of the followers of Jesus here in a hideout in Jerusalem we were all so happy when we heard that you had come Paul but a whole week went by and we didn't see you what happened well some of the priests here don't understand what Jesus did job they think that it's against the law to tell people even those who aren't Jews about God but Jesus came to bring all people together to love one another under one God I wonder if it'll ever come to be they certainly don't love you Paul I'm beginning to get that idea job do something for me see if my being in Chains satisfies them or if they want more hmm the priests yes and anything you hear tell delicious captain of the guard a Roman soldier but don't worry he's no fool he'll be grateful to you for sparing him the mess of having a dead creature on his hands Kreacher you yes now hurry go spy on the priests I thought when we killed Jesus we killed the whole movement doesn't look as if it'll ever stop no this Paul is a great leader among Jesus's followers here clever the way the Romans arrested him with our help that ought to clear things up the followers will come out of hiding give up their belief in Jesus and we will welcome them back into the fold no I think that Paul should be killed too that might be the only way once and for all a way to be finished with this for good forever I suppose that it's for a good cause but this has got to be the end of it it will be for Paul I hereby swear that I shall not eat or drink until the prisoner Paul is dead by my oath I swear the same and I and I is this true yes I heard it all they will ask you to have Paul brought before a jury and on the way there they don't kill him Oh save him please dono tell no one what you've told me you will save him go he wouldn't answer me Paul it's all right Joe you were very brave today but it's night already nothing's been done for you and what if they come now to take you to the jury they'll kill you I know they will only God knows what'll happen job and it looks as if we're going to find out come along with us preacher you stay back for you'll only get in the way in a way of what murder where are you taking awfully curious aren't you alright you can come but keep your mouth shut whatever happens tell the followers of Jesus always to be faithful even though the priests have the Roman guards arrest and kill those who believe yes because when you have faith it's like opening a door to freedom no matter what happens hurry up know where to take you out of Jerusalem to the governor in Caesarea the captain Lysias wants you to live the door to freedom do you understand now job yes I do understand come on preacher so long what road we have to travel you know always he is my friend but a joyful one goodbye Joe peace be with you and with you form so this is the man who always caused such a stir among the people governor Festus we appeal to you to have this man put to death yes yes why is one of your own people surely you wouldn't want death for one of your own we don't want any part of him he preaches against our faith tells foreigners that the man Jesus was the son of God very interesting indeed quiet man to Italy for being such a great preacher a great talker he certainly is silent have I permission to defend myself that's really this is a a kind cold we would hear all sides of this interesting story I do believe in Jesus the Son of God who rose from the dead and lives and I tell you that he came to bring all men Jew and foreigner closer to God one God I do not break Jewish laws or any Roman laws in preaching furthermore I have sat in prison here for two years surely I've been punished long enough for this crime this crime which I didn't commit that's right you have been here a while haven't you he should have been tried in Jerusalem about t escaped would you like to go back to Jerusalem to stand trial legally before the Jew no no I out of pool Festus I know what that would mean death like Jesus no I'm a Roman as well as a Jew and as a Roman citizen I demand to go to Caesar we have no way of persuading great Caesar to our cars course not that was Paul's plan first as he rose the prisoner has no right you must not allow this my loyalty is first to Caesar you have appealed to Caesar to Caesar you shall go and you gentlemen you might as well go home a dripper Bernice I heard that you had come welcome to my palace so it's quite a palace Festus you did well to get this appointment from Caesar Caesar made you a king didn't they the governorship was the least he could do for me just a few priests having an argument with a man named Paul a preacher it's about that man Jesus remember him hmm the priests say that Jesus is dead and Paulus is that he's alive and his poles do here yes says he wants to go to Rome to be tried by Caesar I'd like to hear the man by soon it would be entertaining all right tomorrow then you shall hear him Jesus isn't dead hmm I thought he was dead he was nailed to a cross and buried in a tomb but he rose from the dead came back to life how do you know I saw him myself on the road to Damascus did he say anything drew he told me to go into the city and to tell others about him and did you yes I went everywhere to countries far from here you told foreigner of course God isn't just Lord of us he's for all people all nations follow you're crazy no I'm not Festus King Agrippa knows that he believes in the prophets soon you will have me believe in Jesus why not I wish all the world could be like me except for these chains Chester's be careful what you do with this man he doesn't deserve to die maybe not but he appealed to Caesar Caesar shall try if only he hadn't but we could have set him for you I wonder what will happen to him now I'm afraid my dear that that is something we will never know no we can't set sail now what do you know about sailing yeah get below or the other prisoners where you belong but it's almost winter there'll be storms at sea can't you feel that breeze that's a south wind mister a sailing way there what does he care he only wants to stay on land so he can escape not so easy to run away in the middle of the ocean is it but we'll keep an eye on you just in case you try it patience for patience when we're all sailing to our deaths Luke I'm sorry I'm not angry with you I know I shouldn't have let you come along in the first place seeing that even if we get to Rome Caesar may sentence me to death for the crime of believing in Jesus and telling people about it's a sad time we live in not to me not sad joyful for I know Jesus I've seen him that's enough they have to be enough here we go [Music] the Holy Spirit prisoner Paul said have faith well I've had 14 days of faith and I've run out we've got to do something yeah well the storm died down but where are we drifting in the middle of nowhere then I know how tired you are and sick from lack of food let us eat now and praise the Lord for bringing us this far in safety dear Lord when we praise your name land ho where dear Lord we thank you for delivering us from the sea and bringing us to our land hey how'd you get off the boat I bet you think you're gonna escape now don't you know now you'll get what you deserve preacher oh let me see that I'm alright Luke but that snake was poison alright what do you think you're some kind of a doctor yes Oh truly Luke it doesn't even hurt no swelling not yet but that's that's poison he should have been dead by now don't you even feel a little sick not at all I feel wonderful the Lord is with us maybe you ought to tell us about the Lord about Jesus brothers I thought you'd never ask draw close to the fire I'll tell you all about him that's the most wonderful story I've ever heard I do believe in Jesus and so do I Paul said he must be about the way we've treated you we're sorry I'm not the past is over and you believe I'm filled with joy but the captain says we'll set sail again soon for Rome and your trial why don't you run and hide the ship will leave without you no I can do anything suffer anything in the name of Jesus no Paul don't you fight back I have off the good fight I have finished the race I've kept the faith and may you find your reward for not just me Luke they all who've loved Jesus be rewarded in his kingdom to him be the glory forever and ever [Music]
