promise I'll be worthy of it Mordecai did you and Zach's dad really lead an uprising in Galilee did you really defeat a Roman Garrison tell us about the freedom fighters in Judea enough Uncle Mordecai doesn't have time to sit around and entertain a bunch of children well of course I do Zach you'll remember what Jesus said about the way we should treat children what what did he say well Marcus one day Jesus and his disciples were on the road to Jerusalem it had been a long journey the disciples had become irritable although we're quarreling with each other [Music] foreign what were you arguing about earlier as it turned out they had been arguing about which one of them was the most important [Music] [Laughter] I have already told you that my kingdom belongs to people who are like this child the disciples knew how important children were to Jesus because of something that had happened on another occasion let the boys and girls come to me don't stop them anyone who does not accept God's kingdom like a little boy or girl will not get inside [Music] so you seize that guy Jesus holds children in very high regard as do I Uncle what good is a leader without followers all right everybody break time is over attention it's time to show Uncle Mordecai how efficiently we can set up for tonight's meeting let's move out [Music] Justin break out the Torches Anna Cyrus get the benches from

should I build my lovely new Pantheon try over there snivilous hail Caesar ah nihilus I understand you lost another Christian Courier in the merchant District Caesar the district is riddled with secret passages and tunnels it's impossible to Patrol would that you'd allow me to Burn It to the Ground hmm that would provide a perfect spot for my new Pantheon don't just stand there snivolous [Music] but Caesar a fire in the merchant District could kill hundreds of people [Music] nihilus plan as a matter of fact I call it the wrath of Caesar perfect for those large hard to start infernos fascinating [Music] oh I like it reload me you must get word to men he's holding a meeting tonight at the merchant District I'll do what I can to stall nihilist Not Gold [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] enough giggling trees don't giggle any sign of the guards all clear all clear Ben many of you ask how long must we go on telling the stories of Jesus in secret well one thing is certain they won't be able to keep us quiet forever any more than they could keep a blind beggar quiet when Jesus passed by it was on the road to Jerusalem Jesus had to pass through the city of Jericho and it was there that they met a blind man called Bartimaeus look it's Jesus name [Music] son of David Jesus help me help me son of David sit down man son of David help me call that man over here get up he's calling you cheer up he wants you I I want my sight back go home because you have trusted me you have been made better [Music] and just like that part of Mayors could see again I can see [Music]

this is a wagon full of children don't worry Uncle Mordecai I know what I'm doing right at the Catapult sir if there are any more mistakes the next may be projectile to be launched will be you Helena how can Nero be so cruel it's his way of punishing us because we don't always do what he tells us to do why don't we because sometimes you've got to do what you know is right even if it gets you into trouble you know one time when Jesus was in the synagogue there was a man there with a paralyzed hand it was the Sabbath the day Jews are supposed to do no work A group of Pharisees and members of king herod's court were watching to see if Jesus would dare to heal this man on the Sabbath stand up for everybody to see you what is the right thing to do on the holy day good or evil to make someone better or let him die Jesus was angry because the religious leaders were being so strict and obstinate [Music] stretch out your hand although they admired many Pharisees were Furious that Jesus had broken their law Jesus knew this would get him into trouble Pharisees were so angry they joined with the friends of King Herod to plot against Jesus much like Nero plots against the Christians of Rome

School foreign there must be some way out of here Uncle Mordecai I'm sorry this whole thing is my fault chin up zakai I've been in tighter scrapes than this though aren't quite this warm I just wanted to impress you that's all impress me is that why you've been acting so Strangely I don't even deserve to wear my father's Medallion nonsense Zach your father wasn't born a great leader he became one

emperor Nero has Unleashed his Fury against the Christians their crime proclaiming a king higher and seizure setting fire to the city Nero places the blame on the Christians and launches a new campaign to wipe them out families are separated children left homeless as thousands are sold into slavery or thrown to the Lions escaping the Panic of the fire and dodging the advancing soldiers a

together with Ben Helena and their friends and the Christian underground their mission to keep the stories of Jesus alive this is their story they are The Story Keepers [Music] foreign [Music] support to Port now [Music] if this ship goes down [Music] today [Music] thank you now the amazing Cyrus and Anna will juggle six rolls I can't do six that's what you think Anna that's what I call them [Applause] sorry and now for our main attraction a story from the Amazing Ben and Helena thank you you know your show reminded me of a man Jesus talked about was he a juggler no but he did put on a show every time he prayed me surely you can't be talking about me see among the people who were interested in what Jesus said there were religious men called Pharisees they worked very hard at doing the right thing but sometimes they overdid it one day Jesus told the story and made sure the Pharisees were listening two men came into the men's Court of the temple to pray one was a Pharisee the other was a tax collector who worked for the Romans the Pharisees stood on his own where he thought he would be noticed oh Lord I Thank you that I am not like other people greedy dishonest and wicked or like this tax collector I fast twice a week and I give a tenth of all I earn to the temple and while the Pharisees prayed the tax collector wouldn't even look up oh God have mercy on me I know I'm no good Jesus told the people that it was the tax collector not the Pharisee who went home forgiven forgiven him goodness who Could That Be [Music] everyone stay calm who is it Ben [Music] then after the fires I was part of a group of Christians who were sentenced to life on a slave ship if you can call it life oh Titus our father was on a slave ship Joshua benjuda do you know him son there are hundreds of ships and many of their slaves are Christians but still he could have been on your ship you should pray he's not Captain Adrian would rather starve the slaves than feed them there are dozens of men still on that ship or in worse shape than I am Ben we've got to help them but what can we do we're going to do what we can with what we have in other words I think it's time we took our show on the road [Music] Now That's What I Call hot tossed buns and now a tribute to your glorious victory [Music] it's the unbeatable undefeatable not real sweetable Hadrian the ruthless [Music] thank you but wait I'm an officer [Music] [Applause] [Music] be careful Justin dad [Music] what are you doing here boy looking for my father the only thing you'll find here is trouble now go before you get us all killed Captain one of our ships has been taken in a slavery Vault Nero orders you to sit sail at once and catch them before they reach the Open Sea gassed off immediately sound the battle alarm [Music] Joshua benjuda do you know him all slaves to oars wait has anyone seen my father Joshua benjuda he's not on this ship son Justin man [Music] [Music] hey watch it with those oars [Applause] I don't know what's happening we're going into battle if we don't get off this ship right now too late look don't worry Zach's waiting for us Ben hurry [Music] Captain will deal with you shortly [Music] wow this is nice must be the Captain's Quarters how can he live like this while so many people are suffering right beneath his feet yeah Jesus said we should be kind to people I don't think the captain was listening when Jesus said that I'm afraid he's like the man who built his house on the sand who a man Jesus talked about one day when he was teaching in caperna everyone who listens to me and does something about it is like the man who builds his house on a rock then winter comes but that house stands up to all because underneath is The Rock [Music] but whoever listens to me and does nothing is like a foolish Builder he built his house on Sand then winter came and the rains fell and the floods came and the wind blew down came his house with a tremendous Clash captain on Duck so these are the stowaways actually we were quiet I don't know why you're still on my ship but I do know we're going into battle and everyone on this boat pulls his weight you take this mob you give water to the soldiers you two stay here and clean and you what do you do I'm a baker excellent my cook makes the worst rolls in the Roman Navy absolutely indestructible take this Baker to the galley at once foreign [Music] [Music] foreign I'll do my best sir good but remember it's not just our own it's a military Secret get over here with that water boy I said over here foreign [Music] it's not supposed to smell like that or perhaps you should taste it and tell us what we've done wrong but I've got so much to do we can finish in the kitchen for you take your time with the bread yes please good idea [Music] I told you to stay away from him he's dying her first if he doesn't row he'll die much worse I'll take his place take his place at least until he's better this I've got to see

great as you think my dad's a slave and I don't know where he is [Music] give your back straight bend your knees [Music] wonderful what is it it's dinner come eat [Music] and then Jesus went back to caperna [Music] people have heard all about him so they came from all around the countryside to listen to him he was teaching people about God's way I told you that my kingdom belongs to people who are like this but the place was packed no one could get in or out [Music] go into them what is it when Jesus saw the trust these four men had in him to help their friend he said to the paralytic young man your sins are forgiven why does a man say things like that only God can forgive sins is it easier to say to this man your sins are forgiven or get up pick up your mat and walk stand up take your mat walk home [Music] you've never seen anything like this I can stand [Music] amazing incredible [Music] that was an amazing story Ben and an amazing dinner Justin the name's Andrew you did a good

Quarters let's go [Music] look out framing speed thank you good work Marcus got him Helena you and the kids get to the other ship Justin and I will see to the slaves be careful we will then look out

done lad I mean there we were the sea pouring in up to our throats when suddenly the door bursts open and in comes the boy with a fistful of keys Justin I said I didn't know your father but here's someone who does Justin I'd like you to meet our captain Micah bentola so you're the son of Joshua Ben Judah you know him know him I'll never forget him your father saved my life once last I heard he'd escaped from his ship and was searching for your mother on the farms of Carthage I've never met a braver man you're just like him once off the coast of Egypt he and I went I said after them after them by the way what's for dinner looks like we are [Music] Rome 64 A.D the emperor Nero has Unleashed his Fury against the Christians their crime proclaiming a king higher than Caesar setting fire to the city Nero places the blame on the Christians and launches a new campaign to wipe them out families are separated children left homeless as thousands are sold into slavery or thrown to the Lions escaping the Panic of the fire and dodging the advancing soldiers a group of children find shelter and the gentle care of Ben and Elena a local Baker and his wife here the children discover an amazing secret network of Daring men and women who risk their lives to help one another and to tell the stories of the great Storyteller the one called Jesus and so awaiting the day when their parents will return Anna Cyrus Justin and Marcus embark on the adventure of a lifetime together with Ben Helena and their friends and the Christian underground their mission to keep the stories of Jesus alive this is their story they are The Story Keepers [Music] no no no no no no [Music] no no no doors are so bright a little too bright Anna Nero's guards could spot us a mile away we never should have taken this road in the first place don't worry Zach our friends and austere assure me that if anyone can get us there safely it's Milo I don't see how he's as old as the hills death as a stone and he talks to his horse no no no you've got it all wrong Regis we go left at the next Junction not right huh Ben why are we going all the way to ostia for a story meeting because it's too dangerous in Rome Marcus as more people become Christians Nero sends even more Gods to try and catches what's that Regis Roman guards well I sure don't smell any guards [Music] oh that's a relief Milo doesn't smell any guard [Music] yes you were right preachers hold on everybody whoa there they go [Applause] don't worry I'll lose him you've got any tricks of your sleeve you'd better use them right now right only a half-witted go with blinkers on would go right we want to go yeah [Applause] are you trying to get us killed [Music] Regis [Music] what a ride is everyone all right I think so [Music] well the wagon's not [Music] so much for the story meeting we'll never get to ostia now don't be so sure I said I'd get you folks to host you and I mean to do just that just stay out of what's left in my hair and we'll be on our way again in no time I'm cold I think we can do we're the leaders in ostia find that old Smuggler anyway no one knows much about Milo except that he's traveled just about every road footpath and Goat Trail in the Empire there goes another one wow why do stars fall Ben they'll get marker Mark of the Magi who Magi are men who study the stars in fact a group of them play an important part in one of my favorite stories [Music] a long time ago when my father was still just a boy several Magi discovered a new star oh they knew the star meant a special King had been born so they decided to follow the star to Israel in Hope of finding him [Music] the Magi traveled for nearly two years [Music] finally arriving in Israel's capital city Jerusalem [Music] unfortunately there was another king living in Israel at the time and his name was Herod he was a vain cruel Moody man who lived in constant fear someone is trying to steal my Throne I know it yeah he would do anything even kill his own wife and family to remain King the visit of the Magi did little to comfort him King we have come to worship the child who was born to be the king of the Jews do you know where we may find him I am King of the Jews their only King where can I find the other king of which they spoke in Bethlehem as the prophet Micah wrote hundreds of years ago Herod immediately called for another meeting with the Magi the child you seek is in Bethlehem when you find him come back and tell me where he is for I would like to worship him too and so the Magi traveled to nearby Bethlehem [Music] the child they had come to see was now two years old he was staying in Bethlehem with his parents Joseph and Mary [Music] the Magi opened the gifts they had brought for him go fit for a king [Music] frankincense for worship and myrrh this last gift was a strange one Myrrh is usually used in the burial of the Dead perhaps the Magi knew that much sorrow would come to this little boy [Music] oh foreign [Music] and then just as suddenly as they had arrived they'd left [Music] you know no one knows where they went but one thing is certain they didn't return to herod's Palace [Music] [Music] yes well still no word from the Magi your majesty when Herod realized the Magi had tricked him he flew into one of his terrible rages are trying to hide the child from me by the time I'm finished they'll wish they delivered him to me on a plate assembled your men they are to scour the city of Bethlehem and kill every male child under the age of two but your majesty no one must escape alive do you understand that's an order yes hear it all right how did Joseph and Mary Escape Ben yeah Ben finish the story well the same night that King Herod ordered his men to kill the newborn children Joseph was warned by an Angel of the Lord in a terrible tree [Music] [Music] Joseph and Mary knew from the dream that they had to escape and they didn't have much time for sure enough herod's men carried out their orders [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] Jesus managed to escape the sound of weeping mothers that night was a sad sound indeed [Music] and so the family made their way to Egypt foreign [Music] wow King Herod was even worse than Nero at least Joseph Mary and Jesus didn't get caught yeah well we might not be so lucky if those guards decide to double back I'll see what's taking so long no Regis you've got it all wrong two rabbis walk into a Tavern and they've got a duck I hate to interrupt but how's the wheel coming and the first Rabbi asked The Innkeeper if he serves ducks what am I doing this old coot couldn't hear a thunderbolt if it hit him in the ear watch it shunny it's a long walk to ostia [Music] [Applause] whoever heard of driving down a riverbed was this your idea or did Regis suggest it very funny he's just a horse no there's nothing wrong with being a horse I'm just saying one thing's for sure Nero's guards will never spot us down here exactly daddy boy I know these parts better than an old dog those fleas you can take it from me there's absolutely no quicker way to set serea Philippi than straight down this riverbed but we're going to ostia I know that [Music] Helena were you ever in Bethlehem no my parents once passed through Nazareth that's the town in Judea where Joseph and Mary lived but I thought Jesus was born in Bethlehem he was but the story really begins before that you see in those days Joseph worked as a carpenter he had just become engaged to Mary who lived nearby [Music] now Nazareth is only a small town for that matter Israel is only a small country and as Ben will tell you the people have always hated being ruled by the Roman Emperor just like today they long to be free and dreamed of the day God would send them a great leader [Music] some prepared to fight and others like Mary prayed peace be with you Mary the Lord is with you and has blessed you Mary was confused by the voice and wondered what it meant God is pleased with you you will have a son and will call him Jesus God will make him a king and his kingdom will never end but how can this happen since I am still a virgin there is nothing God cannot do his spirit will come to you and his powers will rest on you the child will be a holy child he will be called The Son of God I am the Lord's servant let it happen to me as you have said and so it did Mary soon learned she was going to have a baby [Music] because they were not yet married Joseph thought the right thing to do was break off their engagement quietly [Music] hey why are we stopping here you folks stay here I'll be right back wait where are you going where does it look like I'm going I have to talk to someone inside to get the location of the secret meeting of yours [Music] I don't like this Ben it could be a trap Milos brought us this far I'm sure he knows what he's doing that's what I'm afraid of there they are [Music] that was really close Ben let's get out of here we can find the meeting on our own no said he'd be back I think we should trust him me too we'll wait just a while longer but Ben why don't you continue with the story Helena well um one night not long after he had called off the wedding Joseph had a dream Joseph you must not be afraid to win Mary her baby and you shall call him Jesus for he will save his people from their sins the next morning Joseph decided to go ahead with the wedding as planned shortly before the baby was due the Roman Emperor sent out an order to every country in his Empire hoping to make it easier to collect taxes he ordered the people to put their names on a register this really upset many Jews it reminded them they were not free Augustus [Music] Samuel Benjamin [Music] it's all to prevent riots the emperor ordered everyone to return to the place where they were born to register [Music] this meant that Joseph had to go south to Bethlehem in the province of Judea Bethlehem is known as the city of David because it is the place where the great Shepherd King David was born by the time Joseph and Mary arrived in Bethlehem the baby was ready to be born but the town was so crowded that when they when they left [Music] and the baby had to be born in the stable [Music] come on people [Music] [Music] they wrapped the baby in cloths and laid him in the manger not far away a group of Shepherds were tending their flock [Music] [Applause] don't be afraid I have good news for you today your savior has been born who is Christ the lord you will find him in the town lying in a Manger it's it's the Lord who sent this message we must go to Bethlehem [Music] the Shepherds told Mary and Joseph what they had heard about Jesus Mary kept the things she had heard deep in her heart and continued to think about them [Music] eight days later Mary and Joseph named their child Jesus just as God's messenger had told them to do do you know one of my favorite things about that story ordinary Shepherds were among the first to see Jesus I think that's my favorite story Helena mine too I knew it was a trap you tricked us Milo now hold on lad The Soldier's a friend and he's going to personally escort you to the meeting place it's just a short walk from here he'll escort us right to the Lions that's where he'll escort us you must be zakai he's just as you described him Ben a little taller maybe Cassius Cassius Marcellus I'd love Zach cash and I are old friends [Music] don't look so surprised everyone took us isn't the only Christian in the Roman god I don't know what we would have done without you Milo yeah thanks for everything I know it was nothing no it was something oh my [Music] goodbye Milo take care bye Milo region safe journey come come our meeting place is filled with friends and they're anxious to hear your stories [Music] [Applause] Milo wait what is it lad forget something well yes I forgot to thank you and I owe you an apology ah you were just looking out for your friends yes but I think I went a little too far a trip like this makes everyone a little jittery why once a long time ago a family hired me to take them across the desert road to Egypt real nice folks but they've gotten themselves into some kind of trouble and they were scared silly I was going to turn them in is that remember their names Jared and Myra no that's not it Zack come on Milo I have to go but thanks again for everything they had a little boy with him Jason and Miriam no oh that's right Regis Joseph and Mary [Music] Mary I wonder whatever happened to those folks [Applause] foreign
