- [Narrator] In the beginning,

He already existed.

He was with God,

and He is God.

Everything was
created through Him.

He gave life to everything
that was created.

And His life brought
light to everyone.

That light shines
in the darkness,

and the darkness can
never extinguish it.

- Pull 'em up,
and head to shore!

- Pull 'em up, and
head in to shore!

- It's just another day at sea.

(laughing)

For the boys of Galilee!

- [All] Yeah!
(lively music)

- My one, again.

Boys of Galilee,

behold, my glorious catch.

- You.

- (shouting and laughing)

Peter, just in time,

since you're empty handed,

maybe you and your
little brother

can help me with my
huge net of fish.

You tangled our nets,

and you stole our fishing spot.

- Who on earth would
do such a thing?

- Your spot?

I had no idea you own
the entire Galilee Peter.

- Hey, at least I
own my own boat.

- That is our boat.

- Sure sons of Zebedee.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Everybody knows your
father owns that boat,

just like everything
else (mumbling).

- Yeah, everything
except for these fish.

These belong to me.

- You never know
when to quit, do you?

- Never.

- Take them up.

- [Peter] No.

- Alrighty then.

Away we go.

(grunting and shouting)

- Ooh.

- Aah

- Out of the way.

- Don't move.

(vocalizing)

(shouting)
(dramatic music)

- And stay out.

- I'm sorry.

Get back here!

- Hey Pity, I got a
little something for you.

(shouting)

(sighs)

- My name's not Pity.

- Peter and you quit.

- (mumbling)Let's go right now.

- No, here they come.
(shouting)

- Get out of the way.

- Lets go.

- No,

- Sorry.

(dramatic music)

- You want the fish?

Fine, take him then.

(shouting)

Sons of Thunder.

- Sons of Thunder.

- Again.

(laughs)

- There's my beautiful
boat brother.

- Ooh!

Is that my reflection I see?

- Sons of Thunder.

Yeah!

(scowling)
- Ma, what are you doing?

- This is not how
I raised my sons.

- No mother, I was trying to--

(smack)
(laughing)

- So, you think
this is funny, huh?

- Yeah.

- Okay, (mumbling)
- Ow ow ow.

- Where are your fish Abba?
- Malachi not now.

- And why are your
nets so empty?

- Because the thieves,

the thieves of Galilee,
they stole my fish.

- What is wrong with you?

- (sighs)
Nothing.

- Nothing?

- Nothing.

- You call fistfights
nothing, you call lashing out

on everyone around you
including your wife, nothing?

- I'm not lashing out.

- You are right now.

We're drowning Peter.

- Well, fine.

I'll get these
nets back in order,

and in the morning,

I'll bring you back a net
full of fish, you watch.

- It's not about the fish.

- Not about the fish?

Rachel, we sing songs about it.

A net full of fish make
sure king of the dock.

More fish means more money,

and more money means--
- what?

It means what?

food on our table, clothes
on our back or another boat.

Those things matter but Peter,

- It means I'm worth something.

What matters the most to me,

is how full these nets are.

I need to get back to work.

- We'll help you
untie those knots.

- No, I could do it on my own.

- But I want to help papa.

- I don't need anyone's help.

Rachel,

Malachi.

- Let us know,

when we matter.

- What are you gonna
squawk at me too?

Huh?

(shouting)

Of course.

(groans)

(sentimental music)

- You're going to
give him your coat.

- Ah
(clears throat)

Have you seen his hat?

(chuckles)
- I gave him more than that.

- Do I know you, huh?

And why are you
standing in my boat?

- Your net's empty Peter.

- Oh, that is very observant
of you, you must be a prophet.

- It's empty, even
when it's full of fish.

That means you're ready.

- What are you?

What do you mean I'm
ready? Ready for what?

- Go out into the deep.

- (chuckles sarcastically)
the deep.

Look, teacher.

I don't know who you are or
how you think you know me.

But if you don't mind,

I need to figure this out.

On my own.

- The boat is
sailing son of John.

You're gonna miss it.

- [Andrew] Peter what's
he doing in our boat?

- Hey,(shouting)

- Hey look, Peter
is back at it again.

(laughing)
- Oh, I gotta see this.

- Hey, Pete, while
we're out there,

maybe you can catch
my missing sandal.

(laughing)
Aha.

- Peter, where are you going?

- And who's that with him?

- Are you ready, Peter?

- Sure.

(groaning)

- Row,

row.

- We're here.

- Here?

I just spent three hours
in this exact place.

It's an empty sea.

- That's not exactly true.

Throw your net Peter.

On the right side of the boat.
- Oh, on the right side!

(laughing)

You don't do a lot
of fishing, do you?

- No.

- So,

What do you do?

- Carpentry?

- Really?

I can't believe I'm doing this.

- You never did
know when to quit.

(birds chirping, slow music)

Look.

- If you're trying to
completely humiliate me,

- and it's working.

(dramatic music)
(laughing and celebrating)

- It's just another day a sea.

For the boys of Galilee.

- Have you ever seen
anything like this?

- You got to start dancing,
or help me out here?

(groaning)

(suspenseful music)

- Yeah,
(laughs)

(sobbing)
- I don't know who you are,

but you must leave at once.

I'm just a fisherman
from Galilee.

A sinner, unworthy to
be in your presence.

- Peter,

follow me,

and I will make you
a fisher of men.

Andrew,

follow me.

James and John, Sons of Thunder.

Follow me.

- Yes I will.

- Me too Peter.
- Come on.

All right,
- our net is so full.

(laughing)

- Guess who it is?

- He's the king of the dock.

- Andrew,

I think he's more than that.

(shouting)

(slow sentimental music)

- How are you doing that?

- I don't know, the
food just keeps coming.

- And so do the people.

- Look, that's the boy, the
boy with the miracle basket.

That's him.

(dramatic music)

(vocalizing)

- Jesus did this papa.

- We don't need any more.

Everyone has more than enough.

Please don't
disturb the teacher.

- Hey, I knew this would happen.

Parents, please,

- Let the children come.

Don't ignore any of
these little ones.

Unless you become like
these little children,

humble and full of faith,

faith even as small as the
seed of a mustard flower,

you can never come into
the kingdom of heaven.

(chuckles)

The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me.

The Father has sent me to
bring good news to you,

to heal the brokenhearted,

to tell you all that the
captives will be set free,

the blind will
see, the lame walk,

and the hurting,
will be rescued.

(sighs)
Thank you.

Children look at these flowers.

They don't make their clothing.

Yet even the Great King
Solomon was not dressed

as beautifully as they are.

So if God cares so
much for flowers

that are here today
and gone tomorrow,

don't you think he
cares for you too?

- Yes.

- Oh, and look,
look at these birds.

Look at how the Father
has provided for them.

Why should you worry about
what to eat and drink.

Your Father already
knows your needs.

Seek the heart of God
above everything else.

And He will gladly
give you what you need.

- What is the heart of God?

- Yes.
- What is the heart of God?

Have you ever heard the
story of the lost son?

- No.

- No?

Would you children
like to hear a story?

- Yes.

- All right.
(laughter)

- Well,

there was a kind
and wealthy farmer,

who had two sons that
he loved very much.

He poured his life into them.

Well, these two boys were very
different from each other.

The older son never cared
about life beyond the farm.

He was satisfied working
in his father's land.

And he looked
forward to the day,

when his own sons
might take it over.

But not so with the youngest.

He wanted nothing more
than to go into the world

and indulge in everything
it had to offer.

- Why won't you just let me go?

- There'll be a day
when you can make

that decision for yourself.

But I love you my son, and
I want what's best for you.

Do you trust me?

- What?

- Dark thoughts
crept into his heart.

He started to question if
he could trust his father.

- If he truly loves me,
he'll give me what I want.

- So the younger
son made up his mind

and asked his father for his
share of the family wealth.

Though his heart was breaking,

the father relented.

He gave his son the money

and watched this willful
boy set out on his own.

- Come home soon.

- This is goodbye, father.

- He actually left,
I can't believe it.

- I knew this day would come.

- Do you think I'll
ever come back?

- I'll always be waiting.

(slow sad music)
- Time passed,

weeks turned into months, and
months turned into seasons.

Life on the farm
continued as normal.

However, the father had not
heard from his youngest son,

since the day he left.

His father longed to
hold him in his arms

and protect him like he
did when he was just a boy.

But his son had to choose

and all the father
could do was watch,

and wait.

Sadly, the thing the father
feared most came true.

His son spent all
of his inheritance

on reckless living and
could barely get by.

About this time, a severe
famine hit the land.

(sighs)

Now penniless and homeless,

he went and hired himself
out to a local pig farmer.

As he sat out among the swine,

his empty stomach ground,

he scrounged through the
mud for scraps of food,

fighting the pigs
for anything edible.

It was at this moment,

he realized, how
far he had fallen.

- What has become of me?

(sighs)
Even my father's servants

have shelter and more
than enough food.

(whimpers)
Look at me.

(weeps)
look at me.

I miss my father.

I miss you father.

- So, the young man
arose from his filth,

he began his long journey home.

Weak, barefoot and broken,

he came within sight
of the old homestead.

And while he was
still a long way off,

his father saw him.

- My son!

- Father!

- My son.

(sobbing)
- father,

I have sinned against
God and against you.

I'm no longer worthy
to be called your son.

- But you are my son,

nothing will ever change that.

- I love you.

- And I love you.

(soft joyful tunes)

(mumbling)

- Eat and celebrate,

well you were dead
but now you're alive.

You were lost but
now you are found.

Haman,

- Yes master,

- k*ll the fattened calf.

- Look my son is home.

- Yes.

- Praise God.

- My friends.

That is the heart of
your heavenly Father.

- Teacher, how should
we pray to Him?

- Please teach us how to pray,
- yes how do you pray?

- When you pray to
your Abba, your Father,

pray like this,

"Our Father in heaven.

"May your name be kept holy.

"May your kingdom come,

"and your will be done,

"on earth as it is in heaven.

"Give us what we need today.

"And forgive us of our sins

"as we have forgiven those
who have sinned against us.

"Don't let us give
in to temptation

"but rescue us
from the evil one.

"For yours is the kingdom

"and the power and the glory

"forever."

Amen.

- Amen.

- You agree then.

- Yes

(laughs)
(instrumental music)

- I must go and bring
this good news to others.

Blessings to all of
you and remember,

if you had ears to
hear, I can hear,

if you have eyes to
see, let them see.

(sighs throughout
the congregation)

- Jesus, if we wanna get to
Jerusalem in time for Passover,

we need to be on our way.

- Yes, you're always
thinking ahead,

but first I'd like to
stop at Martha's house

before we get into Jerusalem.

- Aah, I was hoping
he would say that.

- Why?

Because Mars is a
better cook than Rachel.

- (shushing)

I never said that.

- No, but you meant it.

(laughs)

- Oh, how sweet, looks at them
Rachel, they're like new men.

I haven't even seen them fight

since they started
following Jesus.

- Because they stopped
fighting themselves.

- It's a leper, go.

- Run (sobs)

- It's a leper,
everyone clear away,

- get Jesus away from him.

- Master, let's go this way.

- No.

- Master don't, I can't
let you touch him,

this disease is
a death sentence.

- What is your name?

- Unclean.

But if you are willing,

- You can make me clean again.

- What?

No, master stay back.

- Jesus do not touch him.

- John,

- What is he doing?

(shouting)

- Your faith has made you clean.

(slow suspenseful music)

- Oh, my face.

Am I healed?

(weeping)

- Praise be to God.

Praise be to God!

Praise be to God!
(gasps)

(laughs)

(shouting)
Praise be to God!

- Master you just--

- I did.

- Yeah, but he wasn't--

- He was,

- Ah,

- John
(audience laughing)

sing the Passover song.

- Okay

Let's go to Jerusalem.

- The one you should be
seeking right now is God.

And He's not behind us,
He's ahead, in Jerusalem.

- Mary.
♪Jerusalem, city of light

- Where were you?

- Jesus and the boys
will be here any minute,

and I'm still making mutton.

- There are here.
(laughter)

- Already?
(laughing)

- Martha and Mary,

- We came on ahead,

the boys will be here soon.

- Mary, can you help
me with this food?

- You stay here,
I'll help Martha.

(sigh)

- I'm so excited to
hear the latest news.

What's been happening?

- Where do we begin?

He just fed 5000 men, plus
the women and children

with five loaves of
bread and two fish.

Healed a leper, raised
a child from the dead

and delivered this Magdalene
woman here from seven demons.

Say hi.

- Hi.

- (laughs)
My name is Mary.

What's your name?

- Mary,

- Mary!

Help Martha Mary with the food.

Who's she?

- Mary.

- Another one?

(groans)

- Well let's all eat,
drink and be merry.

- Mama, where's Lazarus?

I'm sure he's around
here somewhere.

But before you run off you
need to wash your hands.

(dog barking)

- Lazarus.

- Come with us.

- That boy does not
sit still for a minute.

He is just like his father.

- That's just the way John was,

always off on some adventure.

But oh, what a sweet boy.

Just the opposite of James.

- How so?

- Mr. Know-it-all, that one.

Always had an answer
for everything.

I worn my belt
out on his behind.

(laughs)

- I bet Jesus never gave
you any trouble, Mary.

(giggles)

- What was that face?
- Okay,

(talking over each other)
- Come on, you have to tell.

Tell us everything.

- Well, when Jesus was
about Malachi's age,

we were traveling
back with the caravan

from Jerusalem after Passover.

And I assumed he
was with Joseph.

And Joseph assumed
he was with me.

So you can imagine
how shocked we were,

when we realized he
wasn't with either of us.

(laughs)

- I would have
ripped in the head.

- Where was he?

- Oh, finally found him three
days later back in Jerusalem,

- Jerusalem?

- And he never told you or
Joseph, he was going back?

- No, I would have
ripped him a hand.

(giggles)

- He was at the temple
teaching the rabbis.

- God instructed Moses,

to put the blood of the rams,

over the doorways
of their homes,

so that death can
pass over them.

- Yes for the
covering of our sins.

- But if the blood
of the Passover lamb,

forgives the sins of the people.

Why must we sacrifice
it every year?

- The Passover lamb must
be sacrificed every year

because there is no
permanent cure for man's sin.

Therefore, we must always
provide a lamb to be slain.

Just as the law requires.

- Have you forgotten,
that God told Abraham,

"I, will provide the lamb,

" and through him,

" all of the nations of
the earth will be blessed."

- This boy speaks with
authority and wisdom.

- Oh, you're speaking
of the Messiah.

- Yes.

- Our Messiah will
come as a warrior,

conquering the nations and
restoring glory to Israel.

- No, He will come as God's
lamb to be sacrificed,

so it'll break the power of sin,

that separates man from
God, once and for all.

- Amazing!

How does this boy
speak like this?

- It sounds as if you know Him.

Tell me boy.

If you know so much
about the Messiah,

Who is He?

- Oh, Jesus, oh!

They were amazed by him.

But Joseph and I were
too upset to care.

We scolded him right there
in front of the Pharisees.

- What did he do?

- He just looked
up at me and said,

"Didn't you know you'd
be in my father's house?"

- That's it?

(audience laughing)

That's all he said?

(screeching)

- Well, I'll tell you one thing.

If that were James or John,

I would have grabbed
him by the ears,

and whooped

(clapping)
that little behind.

(laughter)

especially if it were James.

Hmm hmm, I would have
grabbed the entire caravan

and made them do
a public apology,

for turning my hair gray and
making his father go bald.

(laughter)

Yes ma'am listen,

I would have even made him
apologize to the donkey.

For having it walk all
the way back to Jerusalem.

(audience laughing)
- Oh, and then what?

- Then I would have told
that little boy Jesus,

- What? Ama?

- That God chose the right
woman to be your mother.

(laughter)
- That he did.

- Put me down.

- Ama'.

Martha, my home away from home.

- Jesus, oh!

You are skin and bones,

now come sit, I
just made fig cakes.

Mary go get the fig cakes.

We can't stay for long,

Peter's keeping us on
a very tight schedule.

- Hey, get out of my kitchen.

You all are like
a pack of jackals.

Now, there is more in the oven.

Get out James.

(slow sentimental music)

- Mary, now Mary,

I just asked you
to go get the...

Jesus, don't you
think it's unfair

that my sister just sits
there while I do all the work,

tell her to come and help me.

- Martha,

there's only one thing
was being concerned about.

And Mary has found it,

and it will not be
taken away from her.

Besides, I never really
liked your cooking,

(gasps)
I love it.

- Jesus!

- Jesus,

- There he is, Lazarus.

- Jesus
(laughs)

- Hey, you've gotten taller.

- Oh and stronger.

- What has Martha
been feeding you?

- What hasn't she
been feeding him?

- Lazarus come with
us to Jerusalem

if it's alright
with your sisters.

- All right?

Oh, please get him out of here.

You know, every day his
friends from the city come

and guess who has to feed them?

Me, hey, go raid their
cupboards for once,

and then come back
here and rest.

- All right, we need
to be on our way.

- Be safe.

- Goodbye Mary.

He was born blind,
God's curse is on him.

- All right mama.

- Teacher.

Why was this man born blind?

Is it because of his own
sins or his parents sins?

- Neither.

This happened so that the power
of God could be seen in him.

This man lives in
darkness but today, Judas,

he will see the light.

- Shekel, have mercy,
just one shekel sir.

- Yes, I will go to the pool.

Thank you.

Wrapped in swaddling

- Yes I can.

- Of course (mumbling)

My father does not want

He does not want the
blood of your bull!

What he wants is you,

he wants you.

(groans)

Where's your love,
for the Father?

Stay back,

- Jesus

- There's the

- All right brothers,
time to fight,

- It's not what Jesus wants.

- This is Jesus,
ruining God's kingdom.

- Fight with him.

- You wanna die with him?

No way.

- No.

He doesn't want us to
fight, not like this.

(scream)

- Who did this?

Who did this?

You?

- You dare, to disgrace
the Temple of the Lord?

- Look, now there's
room for the blind

and the sick.

- What?

Get out of here.

- Peter,

(murmuring)

(clanking sound)

- Caiphus, your Holiness.

- Caiphus, I can assure,

we will deal with
the man who did this.

- One man did all this?

- We pursued the vandal Sir,

but lost him and his g*ng
of Galileans in the crowd.

- Here some of the
men who were with him.

- I did not participate in this
rebellion, I can assure you.

- A fish out of water.

You Galileans have a
certain smell about you.

- We're not all Galilean, sir.

- No.

- What's your name?

- Judas Iscariot.

I am a successful merchant who
has done a lot of business.

Right here actually.

- Judas, please tell
those lowly net casters

that there are no fish
here for them to draw into

that rebellious delusion.

- An empty sea.

- What did you say?

(groans)

- (mumbling) fishermen call

an empty sea.

(clanking sound)

- What is your name?

- Peter.

- Peter,

- Yeah.

- I will have your leader
caged for what he has done.

Tell him we will be watching,

(groans)

and to never enter
God's house again.

Word of advice fisherman
go back to your boat

and abandon this cause,

religion has no place
for someone like you.

- If this is what
your religion is,

then I have no place for it.

- Judas,

a wise merchant knows
when to cut his losses.

(footsteps approaching)

(groan)

- Isn't this the
beggar from the gate?

- Well, it looks like him.

But it can't be him, he's blind.

- He was found at the pool
of Siloam causing trouble,

claiming Jesus of Nazareth
healed him of his blindness.

- Who is Jesus of Nazareth?

- That's the man who did this.

- Some say he is a rabbi,

but I heard he's merely
the son of a carpenter.

- You are the blind
beggar aren't you?

- Yes, I am.

Or I was.

Yes, you're Nicodemus,

you put many coins in
my cup over the years.

- How do we know this
man is telling the truth?

- I am his mother, I can
testify that this is my son

and he was born blind.

- Yes, but how can he now see?

- He is old enough to
speak for himself, ask him.

- Enough.
(bang)

- We will give God the
glory for this healing.

But let there be no confusion,
this Jesus is a sinner.

Who causes others to sin.

- I don't know whether
he is a sinner or not.

But I do know this, I was
blind and now I can see.

I recognize your walk.

Every day for years, I
heard you walk right by me

but Jesus stopped and saw me.

- How did he heal you?

- Ask the one who sent Him.

- And who do you
believe sent Him?

- God.

(shouting)

- Let this place know,

Nicodemus, gather your staff

and get this mess cleaned
up before morning.

It's going to be
business as usual.

(slow sentimental music)

- And when He comes, He'll
open the eyes of the blind

and plug the ears of the deaf,

- and the lame will
leap like a deer.

And those who cannot
speak will sing for joy.

- Isaiah's prophecy,
could it be,

in our lifetime Joseph?

- It has to happen in
somebody's lifetime Nic.

Why not ours?

- Who do you think He is?

- A carpenter,

who continues to
fulfill every prophecy

written about the Messiah.

Jesus,

- Nicodemus.

- No one can do
what you have done,

unless God is with them.

- I do what my father
tells me to do.

Just like it's done in heaven.

- Your father,

you're just the
son of a carpenter,

from Nazareth,

aren't you?

- Not entirely.

What do you want, Nicodemus?

- I want to see heaven.

- And you can.

But first you must
be born again.

- How can a grown man
like me be born again?

- Do you feel that?

(rustling of the wind)

You can hear the wind
rustling through the leaves.

You don't know where it came
from or where it's going.

That's how the Spirit of God is.

People can only
reproduce human life.

But the Spirit of God gives
birth to spiritual life.

You are already born
in the flesh Nicodemus,

but in order to see Heaven,
you must be born again.

In his spirit.

- But I have done everything
of the law of Moses,

I fear God.

I've been a student of the
Scripture since I was a child.

- Your salvation does not come
from anything that you do.

It comes from what you believe.

- Well then help me understand.

- God loves the world Nicodemus.

He wants his children back.

All of them.

- Even those who do
not obey the law?

God is holy, He condemned sin.

- You're right.

So there must be a sacrifice

that will pay for men's
sins once and for all.

- There is no Passover lamb able

to cover man's sin
once and for all.

Sacrifice like that
would have to be perfect.

Like God Himself.

(wind whistling)

(whispering) Like God Himself.

- Nicodemus, what are
you doing out here?

- Fresh air.

- It is rather stuffy in there.

- Well, we've already met
with the Roman commander.

- We have a plan to
track this Nazarene.

- It seems this Jesus has been

causing trouble all over Israel.

- We are meeting again, in
a few minutes at synagogue.

- We can expect you to be there.

- Yes, of course.

We must stop this, this radical.

- Agreed, and we will.

- Even the wind and
the waves obey him

last night, he commanded a
storm to stop and it did.

Who exactly is he?

- Look, I don't know.

But the Pharisees in Jerusalem
call him an outlaw, look.

I don't think we can ever
show our faces there again.

- Why not?

- He's a miracle worker, a
teacher, a healer, a prophet,

- deliverer.

- Awake.

(laughter)

- How much do you hear us say?

- I heard you talking
about the older brother.

What do you mean?

Remember the story I told
about the wealthy farmer's son

who rebelled and ran away,

but then returned to his father?

- Yes.
- Of course.

- I never told you how the
older brother responded.

Instead of rejoicing, he
grew in jealousy toward

his little brother and
bitterness toward his father.

He didn't want to accept
that someone who broke

all the rules of sinful living

should be welcomed back home.

Such celebration.

- The Pharisees?

- You have eyes to see
John and let them see.

- The Pharisees are acting
like the older brother.

- The rebel son gets
the fattened calf,

you're suggesting
that Almighty God

welcomes back any sinner no
matter what they've done.

- He does more than that
Judas, he goes after them.

He's like a good shepherd
who has, say, 100 sheep.

If one of them wandered
off and was lost,

the shepherd would
leave the 99 others

and go into the darkness
to search for that one.

And when the shepherd found it,

he would rescue it, embrace it,

and joyfully carry
all the way home.

When he returns home, he would
call together his friends

and his neighbors
saying, "rejoice with me,

"because I have found
the one that was lost."

In the same way, there
is more joy in heaven

over one lost sinner who
repents and returns to God

than over 99 others who
don't need to repent.

- Where exactly are we going?

(pigs snorting)

- Galilee.

- Galilee?

No, this is the
wrong side of the

Galilee for the Jews, Peter.

It's full of pigs and Gentiles.

- It's where the
master wants us to go.

- So we go.

- Are those graves?

With Gentiles,
pigs and the dead?

Well, great.

Let's just break all the laws
of Moses while we're at it.

Hey, everyone, let's
drink a cup of blood

from a strangled goat.

What are we doing here?

- Leaving the 99

to rescue the one.

- To rescue the one?

- Yes.

- No, He leads us
across the sea,

through a storm that
nearly drowns us,

to help some lunatic in chains?

We're not supposed to be here.

- You've already forgotten.

- Forgotten what?

- When you were the one.

- Come on those days to be
healed, not on the Sabbath.

- You hypocrites.

Don't you untie your
donkey from it's

stall on the Sabbath and
lead it out for water?

This child was held
in bondage by Satan.

Isn't it right she be
released, even on the Sabbath?

- He breaks the
laws of our fathers.

- I did not come to break
the law but to fulfill it.

- Answer this, Jesus,

this woman was caught in
the very act of adultery.

The Law of Moses says she
must be stoned to death.

- Our friend Lazarus

And now I will go and wake him?

- Yeah, but Lord, if
he's only sleeping,

- Lazarus is dead.

- No Lord, not Lazarus.

- Peter, it's Martha,
let her through.

- Oh my Lord.

My Lord there was
nothing that I could do.

I knew that he was sick.

But he wouldn't listen
when I told him to rest.

We sent for you.

If you had been here,
he would not have d*ed.

resurrection and the life.

Do you believe this?

- Yes, Lord.

- No, she's at home

She doesn't understand why
you weren't here sooner.

- Bring her to me.

- Yes.

- Look at them over there.

They must have known
we were coming.

Gentiles and degenerates.

But what about her own friend?

- Hypocrites!

You are like whitewashed tombs.

Beautiful on the outside,

but filled with
dust on the inside.

How will you appear so righteous

but your hearts are full of
greed, control and power?

- And who do you think you are?

Nazarene.

- My Lord, why did you not come?

- Jesus when his
sister sent for you.

- I'm here now.

Where'd they put him?

- Lord come and see.

(weeping)

- Look, even Jesus
weeps for Lazarus.

- He healed a blind man.

Couldn't he have kept Lazarus,
his own friend from dying?

- Death.

- What is he saying?

- He's praying to his
father the devil, no doubt.

- Yes to speak up, teacher.

So we can all hear
what you have to say.

- Roll the stone aside.

(shouting)

- Roll the stone aside.

- How dare you?

Do not show Lazarus like this.

- No, Lord he's been
dead for four days.

- No, this is too far.

- No, the smell
will be terrible.

This is not what the
Lazarus would want.

- Martha, didn't I tell you that

I am the resurrection
and the life?

- Thomas, you
heard Him let's go.

- Father, thank
you for hearing me.

it is my sacred duty

to perform the Passover
sacrifice for the people.

To offer a perfect lamb to
Jehovah God on their behalf.

But I think the recent
blasphemous sins of the people,

maybe too great for God's mercy,

we need an even
greater sacrifice.

- Do you mean to
k*ll this Nazarene?

- Isn't it better
if one man dies

rather than a whole nation?

This Jesus of Nazareth
is leading the
people away from God.

It's straight to
their destruction.

As high priest the
Lord speaks to me,

and I believe it is His will

and my solemn duty to remove
this thr*at permanently.

- [Priest] All of us agree.

- But we've tried to
trap him into saying

or doing something illegal,
but still, he will not stumble.

- Jesus is a rebel
who calls Himself God.

Isn't that reason enough?

is also a danger to Rome.

We need to capture him.

- Is it legal to convict a man
before he is given a hearing?

- who said that?

(footsteps approaching)

- You cannot put him
on trial without cause.

- Without cause Nicodemus?

Are you blind?

(laughing)

- Not anymore.

- Neither am I.

- Joseph.

You have all people
would follow a man

who eats with sinners,
touches lepers,

keeps company with prostitutes?

- Jesus shows the
people what He's for.

Instead of just
what he's against.

- The Prophets have all done
far stranger things Cauiphus,

you know that.

Isaiah wandered the land
naked for three years.

Hosea married a prost*tute.

Ezekiel like barley cakes
cooked with excrement.

- But everything they
did pointed to God.

Everything is son of a
carpenter does points to--

- (shouts) Love.

Love.

Everything Jesus
does points to love.

I have pored over the scriptures
and I have found this,

the law is love, God is love.

- The love of God is reserved
for those who keep the law.

- Yes.

- You burden the
people with rules

but you never lift a
finger to help them.

You don't care about God's love,

all you care about is the law.

So you can control them.

And you, you play God so
that others are forced

to look up to you.

- Nicodemus I demand
you to be silent.

- Always want to measure
everyone's righteous,

you cannot measure God's love.

- [Cauiphus] Nicodemus.

- That is why Jesus Himself
said that prostitutes

and sinners are closer
to heaven than any of us.

(shouting)

- Silence
(bang)

(clanging sounds)

- Tell me,

if this man is all about love.

Then why did one of
His own betray him?

- Judas.

- This man testifies
that Jesus manipulated

the minds of simple fishermen
to wander all over Israel,

encouraging them to break
the sacred commandments.

Ask him how this King
of the Jews allowed

a poor destitute woman
to pour a rare perfume

her life savings,
mind you, on his feet!

Instead of giving the
money to the poor.

This Jesus is a glutton.

He's a drunkard and a rebel.

It's all beginning to collapse
around this phony Messiah.

This would be a very bad
time to choose his side.

- Too late.

- You're not just
turning your back on me.

You're turning your back on God.

- Jesus is God.

(shouting)
- blasphemy!

- Get him now.

- Jesus is God.

- You promised me no one
would know I betrayed him.

- Tomorrow he'll be
dead and his followers

are one back to the
boat in Galilee.

Why do you care what they think?

Do you still believe?

- I believe I just wasted

three years of my
life on that man.

- Bring Jesus to us, and redeem
those wasted years Judas.

I will not deny you.

- My friends.

I don't call you servants,

because a servant doesn't
know what his master is doing.

Everything that the
Father has said to me,

I have shared with you.

You are my friends,

and I love you.

And now,

I am giving you a
new commandment,

love one another,

in the same way that
I have loved you,

it's by your love for each other

that the world will know

Greater love,

has no one in this,

than to lay down His
life for His friends.

you will no longer see me.

Don't be afraid,

In this way, I will

I want you to stay with us.

- If I do not go, the Holy
Spirit cannot come to you.

I'll tell you the truth,
if you believe in me,

you will be able to do the
things that I have done

and even greater things.

This can only happen if I
go and be with my Father.

In this world,

you will have trouble.

But take heart,

I have overcome the world.

Come my Friends,

it's time to go.

I promise.

- Father.

The hour has come.

I pray for these that
you have given me.

Protect them that they

The world hates them because
they do not belong to it.

I'm not asking that you would
take them out of the woods,

but that you would keep
them safe from the evil one.

Just as you sent
me into the world,

I'm sending them.

And I give myself
as a holy sacrifice.

Not only for these disciples but

also for everyone who
will believe in me.

For their message.

It's the cries of humans.

Tomorrow, they will,

but as you will.

Peter, James, John get down.

Can you not stay awake
with me and pray?

- [Voice] You do know
what's coming next.

You will not only taste

(sobs)

Filled with it, infected with

Is that what you want
your legacy to be?

- Abba

my spirit is willing

but my flesh is weak.

- [Voice] You don't

- Father, if it is possible,

take this away from me.

- [Voice] With God all
things are possible.

- My friends,

my friends they're
still sleeping.

I'm alone.

- [Voice] Yes.

That's the worst one of all.

- Father.

- [Voice] All those
friends will abandon you.

Your father is going
to let you die.

I can help.

We'll find another
way, I promise.

- There is no other way.

What about your will?

Your will Jesus?

thousands of angels

He would send them instantly.

I am choosing this,

- Take him Cauiphus, now.

- Jesus, no.

Oh my son.

- They've taken him mother.

And they won't stop
until he's dead.

My God, why have

King David's prophecy
from the Psalms.

- Psalm 22,

"My God my God,

"why have you forsaken me?

"All my bones are out of joint.

"My enemy surround me
like a pack of dogs.

"They pierced my hands and feet.

"I can count all of my bones.

"My enemies stare at me and

"they divide my garments
amongst themselves,

" throw dice for my clothing."

- Huh! I won, give it to me.

- "My tongue sticks to

- I thirst.

- Because this dead man claimed

that he would rise

Caiphus and Pilate don't

- [Jesus] I'll be

risen from the dead

began to spread throughout
all Israel and beyond.

And during the next 40 days,
He appeared to over 500 people,

eyewitnesses of His resurrection

and on the 40th day,

He gathered his
closest followers

and He led them to a
hillside near Jerusalem.

- I am going now,

to be with my Father.

And you must wait
here in Jerusalem

for the Holy Spirit
to come upon you.

You will receive power to be
my witnesses to all the earth.

And remember I am
always with you.

- In the beginning,

He already existed.

He was with God

and He is God.

Everything was

that was created.

To everyone.

That light shines

- Fishing.

(laughing)

- I wanna be saved.

- What is this?

- They're speaking
different languages.

- We can understand them
in our own language,

how could this be?

- Jesus is Lord.

- People of Israel, listen,

what you see here was predicted

long ago by the prophet Job.

The Lord said,

"In the last days I will pull
up my spirit upon all people.

"And everyone who calls on

"the name of the
Lord will be saved."

As you well know,

God performed powerful miracle
through Jesus of Nazareth,

but with the help of Rome,

you nailed him to a
cross and k*lled him!

But God raised
Him from the dead,

so that we could be
raised from death to life.

Jesus became our Passover
lamb once and for all,

so that everyone in Israel know

that God has made Jesus to
be the Lord and Messiah.

He's alive in us, and
he can live in you too.

This is how you can
be pardoned then.

This is the only
way to enter heaven.

- How?

- How can we saved?

- Turn away from your
sins and turn to God,

accept Jesus as your
Savior and be baptized.

Then you will receive the

gift of the Holy Spirit
like we have today.

This promise is for you
and for your children

and for all those who are
tired of living in darkness.

All will (mumbling),
for the Lord has come.

(celebration)

- Peter, our nets are full.

(indistinct chatter)

- Jesus fulfilled 353 prophecies
and He's not finished.

He's alive and His love
continues to rescue today.

Now, if you would like
to accept Jesus Christ,

or if you're in need of rescue

you can come to Him now.

Please, come.

Come.

(harmonizing)

♪ He saved

♪ This world.

(drum roll)

(applause)

(soft sentimental music)

- We present the story
in a fresh new way,

in a very unexpected way

and to peel back some layers
on Jesus and do it justice.

- The most challenging part of

creating the show was definitely

picking and choosing
which moments

you want to use to
create one big story

as opposed to something
that feels like

a lot of little stories
and then finding

a way to connect all of
these memorable events.

But also, we want to
capture how personal He was,

and how good of a friend
and a teacher He was

to each individual person.

It's very interesting
to have a lead character

in a story that
doesn't have any flaws,

but there are plenty of people

around Him who
have glaring flaws.

- This show is
bursting with life,

adventure and the unexpected.

This is not a retelling of
a familiar story at all.

The way that we portray some
of these miracles is so fun,

so adventurous, so whimsical.

- [Kristen] This show is
going to be bright, colorful.

It's going to be exciting.

You're going to feel like
you're on the adventure with

Jesus and with the disciples.

That's exactly what it is.

It's an adventure.

It's a journey.

- So he's a guy that
rolled up his sleeves,

strapped on his sandals,
crossed the stormy sea,

climbed a mountain,
to remind one person,

how valuable they are to God.

And that is the
heart of the story.

It's a story about
love that rescues,

it's a story about no matter
where you have been in life,

or where you currently are or
where you might find yourself.

It's never too stormy, too
dark, too ugly, too messy

for Jesus, to reach down
just like He did with Peter

and grabbed him by the hand and
pull him up out of the water

as he's drowning from
the woes of life.

That's the story.

That's the heart of the story.

This show like no other
embodies why we do this at

Sight and Sound and it's our
heart that you'll experience

this show and that
you'll experience Jesus

in a way that you
never have before,

in a different way
that's more personal

and relational and intimate.

(sentimental music)

(upbeat music)

- When we decided to do the
show of Jesus going to Israel,

that was one of the first ideas

that the look put on my heart.

If I'm going to
lead this, the team,

and experience the Holy lands.

This is the show
to do that with,

- The purpose of this
trip was to inspire

our design team and some
of our story team members,

in the life of Jesus,
but ultimately in what

the land of the Bible is.

One of the big surprises for
us over there creatively was,

it seems as though every
reference that we have

on the holy lands, everything
seems so rocky and dusty

and dead, where it
was around Galilee.

There's a, landscape
is beautiful.

Anything north of that
is green and lush.

- [Steph] When I first
saw the Sea of Galilee,

I remember thinking
it was smaller.

- I didn't expect to
see the other side.

- The Sea of Galilee
is kind of that

center point that everything
hits and collides.

It tended to make sense
that you could create

in this valley all these
waves and this commotion

that you read the Scripture
about Christ calming the storm.

For me, there was
a lot of locations

that you could immediately tie
with the people in the Bible.

I remember just
spending time walking

around Carpharnahum thinking,
while Peter was here,

and Jesus was here.

- There were some
beautiful motifs

in some of the architecture,

I'm pretty sure that
the artists used

some of that in in
their application

to what we ended up
putting on the stage.

- [Glen] And the hills
behind Carpharnaum

are just blanketed with
these yellow flowers.

You have the mustard seeds
and the color in the yellow

really started impact story
about Sermon on the Mount,

and how we would help people
associate with that location

and bring them into that scene.

- The big challenge on
stage rolling hills.

So what we did was we covered
a big portion of the stage

with terrain to
really give a moment

like we would have
experienced in Israel

that Jesus would have been
walking and teaching in.

- [Steph] Part of the story
particularly that Josh

wanted to tell about the
travel and walking and

you do get a little
dirty walking around,

but it's okay
because that's just,

it's just part of what
life was like there.

- [Josh] And there was
a lot of fellowship

and teaching a long the way.

We try to reflect
that in the story.

- When I look at the
show that we've designed,

I'm transported back to Israel,

through the things that
we have designed there.

And one of those places is
the Garden of Gethsemane.

We have created some
beautiful olive trees.

- You know, when you look at
an olive press being worked

and all the ropes tightening
around those olives

and just squeezing every
ounce of oil from that,

you think about the
Jesus the Son of Man

just being pressed like an
olive press in Gethsemane,

which means olive press.

- [Lisa] We patterned
the set piece,

we were actually calling
it the Garden Tomb

after that location,

and you'll see there's
beautiful greenery there

because we wanted
it to feel as though

it's a place of hope in life.

- [Josh] I think we
achieved the goal

in creating those
experiences together

and then being able
to follow up on it,

coming back and having
the conversations

around what we
experienced together,

then impacted story and design.

- [Lisa] When you're
experiencing that land,

it teaches you so
much about the Bible.

That was so important
for us because we want to

bring the Bible to life here.

For our design team members

and our story team
members to experience

that actual location.

I think it has greatly
impacted our shows here,

and it's just going to continue

to influence our
shows in the future.

- We are here in London,

where we are recording
our latest soundtrack

for our newest production Jesus.

(classical music)

- This is my third show
working with Don Harper.

Together we did
Joseph and then Moses.

And now we're doing
the Jesus show.

And without us saying
it, we know that,

this is, you know, our most
important work together.

It's funny, I explained
to Don, about a year ago,

I said, "Okay, I want
it to be whimsical,

"but mature and mature wimzie."

He's like, "How do you do that?

"What does that even mean?"
I was like, "I don't know."

But we don't want it
to be so heavy handed.

Want to have life
and adventure in it.

And I think we struck it.

(instrumental music)

The emphasis that we put
on this particular show

and this score has been
on a whole another level.

As a director, when you
start sinking your teeth into

the actual events of the story,

and then those events start
to get strung together.

The character of Christ comes
out in every single note,

and every single phrase of music

and score and every moment
is a significant moment.

There's no filler,
it's all emotion.

It's all passion.

It's an incredibly
cinematic score.

I think this thing tells
a story without any lyrics

even being attached to it.

So that was really our
intent the whole time,

was "Let's create
something that continually

"leans forward and that
the audience are truly

"getting something
fresh and original

"and a different angle on
this very familiar story."

I can't imagine anybody but
Don and the London musicians

and recording at
Abbey Road Studios,

I can't imagine a better place

to have all that
come into fruition.

Most meaningful and critical
points in the process

when you assemble everything
and put the score together,

and you record those takes.

And you hear this woodwinds
and you hear those strings

and you hear the brass come
together so beautifully.

It's takes you to a
whole different place,
it's unbelievable

and when music and
truth come together.

There's nothing more
powerful than that,

to move people to a place
of honest evaluation

of what this is all about.

(instruments playing)

- A lot of our animals
we'll use target training.

So we'll start wherever
the animals gonna end up.

We'll put the animal just
a couple inches away,

have them touch the target,
they get a click a tree.

And then once that's done,

they start getting
there patterns.

Then we'll start
to implement like

noise and the lights
and fog and energy

and we have to get trust
with all the animals

no matter what
animal's on stage,

there's an element of trust.

The scene that has the
most animals in our show,

I believe is the temple scene.

There's animals running
in every direction,

they're running out the aisle,

they running across stage,

birds will be flying.

It has baby doll sheep,
Jacob sheep, Sana goats,

Nubian goats,
birds, two donkeys.

So that scene has a
lot of animals in them.

- Alright, so temple
clearing is about to happen.

This is the scene where
all of these sheep

and goats and donkeys.

Run through the aisles.

When Jesus releases
them, it's really cool

because I get to be in
the back of the house

where these paths cross
of sheep and goats.

And it has this
really cool dance

because one's going this way.

One's going this way a donkey
is running up this aisle,

but they do it because
they're so well trained.

(soft music)

- This it , Jesus

ruining God's Kingdom

- [Jesus] Get out.

- [Disciple] Wanna
die with him? No way.

- [John] He doesn't want
us to fight, nit like this.

- This is the end of the
day, these ones are done.

- In our story, there's a
lot of traveling going on.

So we'll have some donkeys
that'll be pulling carts.

We have one donkey
for the triumph entry,

that Jesus has to ride.

We have,

four Cooney Cooney pigs

and then we have I think
eight part Cooney Cooney

part potbelly pigs.

- We're gonna be loading the
prodigal pigs onto the setpiece

and getting them
out on the stage.

They're really
motivated by food.

So getting them onto a
set piece where they eat

and then getting them
back into the room

where they eat there,

it's really easy, so
it's really fun though

because you get to see them
run around and have fun.

So we feed them nice and slowly

because we're gonna
be out on the set for

maybe a minute 30 seconds.

So we want them to be eating
and facing the audience.

- The animals can
definitely influence

the emotion of the scene.

We have so many unique animals

that people just have
never seen before.

So to see them live up close,
I think is a special thing.

- We have been sh**ting our
shows for over a decade now.

So we felt like it was time to

really scale up the production.

I'm Ryan Miller and
I'm the director of

the live capture
of Jesus the Show.

- They might show up in
the middle of the scene.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

- We pray that you be
in every frame of this

final product in
Jesus name, amen.

- All right, we're rolling.

- Take one.

- And act.

- Lets reset, lets
go back to one.

- So we have three
dollies, a jib,

a techno crane, six cameras.

I'm really excited
about the techno crane.

That's gonna be a
new thing for us.

So it'll be in the
back of the house

and it can reach the front
of the stage with the camera.

I think is gonna really show the

scope and size of our theater>

- Push into her.

Okay, and do this and
reveal then watch the scene.

Just curious so he will
be entering from that door

almost from the top.

So these are my binders.

This represents about
nine months of work.

I have my script and my
notes for Monday all day,

Tuesday all day,
Wednesday morning,

and I have sh**ting scripts

for Wednesday
afternoon and Thursday.

- And lets cut all cameras.

Great job guys.
