The Day Christ Died

I know a rebus I shouldn't arrested him

I shouldn't have tried him I shouldn't

be sending him to the cross you're

taking the advice of Talia's Barabbas

could have been quietly strangled in the

cell and you wouldn't have to cope with

that crowd outside if I had listened to

target I would have made a mockery of

Roman law and I hate to think what.

Caesar would have made of me gratitude

to these Jews when I think of the time I

spent be the new water system to

Jerusalem and the cost you are a

brilliant engineer Pilate I suppose

that's a compliment well yes we need

your advice perhaps you could indicate

more clearly what you have in mind

something that will sit well with Caesar

as you know Caesar has ordered no

compromise with the Jewish extremists

particularly with mob heroes you'll have

to crucify Barabbas do you have an

alternative is that what you call advice

do you understand what's going on out do

you want this demonstration to turn into

another uprising if you don't crucify

him you'll have been Caesar on the other

hand if you do I'm suppose you'll have

an angry mob at your throat Thank You.

Claudia that's exactly what I need at

- this moment my wife's analysis of the - arm.

There is of course one possibility they

know that on their Passover you perform

an annual act of mercy by commuting the

death sentence of one Jew symbolic and

probably a mistake

last year I seem to remember it was an

arsonist this year are you seriously

suggesting that I free Barabbas a Jew

who has murdered a Roman soldier no

there's got to be another way

I will not surrender to these barbarians

since this is meant to be a magnanimous

Roman gesture to a conquered people why

- not take it a stage further and allow - them to make the choice listen they've.

Made their choice

exactly you offered them another

criminal they've choose Barabbas it's no

longer your decision

a bus

listen to it these days I can understand

you or hate leaving the piece of the

temple a piece of the temple how long

will that last

I don't envy you not the easiest time to

be high priest to Judea indeed not.

Nicodemus.

Barabbas kills one Roman soldier and the.

Romans retaliate a hundred for one it's

not the kind of arithmetic I favor do

any others pollution Resolute's there

are heroics cost precious Jewish blood.

Oh Joseph firefighter I am grateful to.

Barnabas for one thing there's nothing

else he's taking your mind off Jesus

well that depends well whether you have

made my warning to him okay you know

this heretic has been seen just outside

the city.

Helen dare enter it once again and I

will have him arrested by the temple

guard

there's the well there's the man with

the pitcher Peter how could he know the

man with the pitcher was gonna lead us

to the sin he arranged it you can't all

be miracles you know there's a practical

side to him too Peter where are you from.

Galilee I love you dad

occupation fisherman named Simon but

your journey she moaned Bayona

and yours John Hebrew name Johanna you

don't smell like fisherman we wash for

passing you fish with the sword in.

Galilee men has to protect himself is it

against the law in Jerusalem move on

hey what do they think of Barabbas in.

Galilee we don't know him of course he

will all pay for the subjects of Caesar

in Galilee we render unto Caesar what is.

Caesar's and to God what is God's

what is - well put for a fisherman who

said that our rabbi and what belongs to

Caesar tax and your God love excellent

we could do with more Jews like your

rabbi on your way

I'm Jacob Peter John come with me when

is he coming into the city in time for

the Seder I was hoping he changed his

mind it's foolish very food

he knows the danger then why I suppose

he would say the prophet Isaiah

predicted it the prophet Isaiah

didn't detect the courtyard of the

temple and drive the merchants and

moneychangers off with a whip what is

the one thing these Jews are really

passionate about their religion

what are they go to a restaurant of

their high priests there does point the

way their religious counts the Sanhedrin.

Thank You Thomas

they're against Barabbas they don't like

zealots and revolution is any more than

we do

now if we could find someone that they

dislike it was also violated Roman law

you know the same problem you just have

another Barabbas not only has no

political supporters their mob behind

him there is a rabbi the Galilean hardly

any a few days ago he started a rampage

in that temple name is Yeshua are

yourself how do you know I've seen him

well I don't care who he is laws he's

broken the law on arresting and I

provoked further demonstrations what if

he's innocent he's a Jew I'll look into

it if you like yes do before they start

- setting themselves up for their internal - min ago ceremonies.

Well you won't be able to be arriving

later after we've seen the room I'll go

back to the well and wait to lead them

here for the Seder

do your proof Peter the rabbi will be

pleased My servants will look after you

tonight Thank You Jacob but that won't

be necessary

I want to Peter it's the least I could

do anything anything I can do our Mehta

service Jacob thank you

he challenged on the left is Philippa

properity

I've been talking to some people who

just arrived from Galilee there's been

rioting there the Roma's have killed

more than a dozen people for protesting

against Barabbas a sentence

do you think these people were sinners

above all other sinners in Galilee and

that is why this happened to the whole

course not it happened to them because

they were Jews protesting against Roman

tyranny and when the Tower of Siloam

fell in Jerusalem and killed 18 men do

you think it was because they were

sinners do you Judas no I don't they

were killed because the mortar was badly

mixed and they happened to be working on

the tower what does that have to do with

the massacre in Galilee I'm saying that

whoever does not repent will perish in

one of many ways I understand but I

don't understand it's why even though

I'm not from Galilee I said to care what

happens to Patriots similar than anyone

else

whatever happens in Galilee is small

compared to what will happen when the

day of judgement comes it is coming what

Judas is saying rabbi is that if anyone

must be killed before the day of

judgement let it be the Romans he wants

to reach God's kingdom without having to

die on the way I would die for a cause I

believe it no man wants to die then why

are you going into Jerusalem tonight

knowing that knowing what what everyone

- knows but there are men who wish him - dead.

It is necessary but the son of man go

into Jerusalem on the Passover suffer at

the hands of the lawyers and the priests

be betrayed and crucified and then

raised on the third day why don't you

ever say directly that you are he Judas

stop asking questions and ask

I want to believe I do believe but we're

young there are many paths service ahead

and a lot to do here and now I can't

help thinking that is a Jew you could

use the powers we've all witness to help

other jurors like Barabbas who fight the.

Romans you think too much to do this and

feel too little

but that is as it should be

I have given you in the other certain

powers use that power will and I'm

asking you to help me use it to

strengthen the unity of the Jews against

the conquerors of Israel I haven't
