Where's Jotham?

Calm yourself boy.

You've had your turn.

He will join you presently.

Why not kill us with the rest of them?

When you catch a beast, you hang it up to tan.

Examples must be made.

Get back here.

Longinues!

Longinus!

Dismas?

Dismas?

You look like an angel.

Where are your brothers?

Where are we?

Shh...

It's okay, mother.

We're home, in the stable.

You've been sleeping.

Aram is right here.

And Jotham?

He sat by your side all night.

Oh my sweet boys, you truly are my angels.

Father should have been here.

Your father will return to us.

It's been months!

Dismas, your father, he's a good man.

He may be a man, but he isn't good.

Jehovah would have you forgive.

I will never forgive him.

He left us.

He left us to go get drunk all the time.

Not everyone deserves forgiveness.

Let's try here.

What is it?

Brother, tell me,

do you have any rooms for the night?

You are out of luck, my friend.

We've been overbooked for days.

It's the census!

Sir, my wife, she is with child.

She's about to give birth.

Surely you can make some...

Boy!

There is no room for you, or your wife.

You will have to make camp on the hillside

with the other late arrivals.

It's okay, God will provide.

Sir!

We have some room in the stables.

A stable?

Yes sir.

I tend the stable for Mister Piram so he lets us stay there.

You are very kind, what is your name?

Dismas.

And this is my brother Jotham.

Hello, Jotham.

Hello.

Joseph...

There is not much time.

We must hurry, you lead the way.

Mother, this is Joseph and Mary.

They had nowhere to go.

I had to help them.

She's going to have a baby.

I can see.

Of course we'll help.

This is my mother.

She's unwell, but can still help.

Are you sick?

Nothing to fear.

I had a child of my own not too long ago.

I have yet to fully recover.

Your boy, Dismas, he's a generous host.

He's a good boy, my blessing from Jehovah.

Today, Serah, he is a blessing to us as well.

Oh!

Bethlehem.

The town of David.

We have arrived.

He's beautiful, Mary.

He's perfect.

What will you call him?

His name is Yeshua.

Yeshua.

Salvation.

It's lovely.

Mother, go lie down.

I can take care of our guests.

Oh, you're so manly.

Allow me to help you.

It's the least I can do to repay your kindness.

Come on.

Here is fine.

Serah, may God's grace abound to you

for all you've done for my family and me.

Shalom. Shalom.

You have done so much for us tonight, Dismas.

I pray one day we can repay you and your family

if you are ever in a time of need.

Your father would be very proud of you, Dismas.

I don't speak of my father.

Why?

Why don't you speak of your father?

He was not a good man.

All men fall short, Dismas.

That's why we must depend on Jehovah for forgiveness.

You think everyone deserves forgiveness?

I don't think anyone deserves forgiveness.

That's why they call it forgiveness.

You and I, we need forgiveness, too.

I'll see what's going on.

Shalom.

How may I help you, sirs?

We are sorry to disturb you at this hour.

We are weary from our travel

and would like to rest for a few hours.

Can you help us with our camels?

There's no room.

Yes, yes, yes.

But we just need to rest for a couple of hours.

We have very important things to do tomorrow.

I'm sorry sirs, but we're full.

Boy.

It's too cold for us to sleep outside.

Kindly move your animals, and we will...

Melchior...

will pay you handsomely.

It's not the animals, sir.

A woman had a baby here tonight.

May we see this child?

Could this be?

We've traveled so far.

I am Melchior, my friend Balthazar and Gaspar.

Am I a fool or is this the foretold messiah?

You are no fool.

The birth of our son was foretold to us

by a messenger of Jehovah.

Behold the King of Kings.

What have you named him?

Yeshua.

We bring you gifts from afar.

I bring you gold.

A rare treasure for such rare child.

I bring you frankincense, a gift for more than a king.

A gift for a God.

Behold.

My gift to this special child is myrrh.

Treasured oil, holy, for the anointing of kings and priests.

Melchior!

Matthias approaches!

Herod lies!

If we go back the way we came, he will have you killed.

You paid our homage?

I did.

You were most generous.

But masters, Herod is insane.

At one mention of the prophecy, he flew into a rage.

You are in great danger.

As we feared.

We have to go back home from a different route.

Quietly.

Agreed, but what of the infant Yeshua and his family?

We cannot protect them.

In fact, our constant presence endangers them.

We must leave tonight.

We must trust that God will protect this family.

There is nothing we can do.

Rise, Mathias.

Go back to the camp.

Order the servants to pack.

We will follow you shortly.

As you command, sir.

What is it?

It is Herod.

We must return home to the east immediately.

You are in danger as well.

Please...

protect the child.

He is the best thing to happen to this world.

I will.

Thank you.

One day you will understand the significance

of what's happened here.

Here.

Take this.

Use it to care for your family.

Shalom, my brother.

Shalom.

Good morning, Jotham.

Is it morning?

How did we get here?

That's easy.

The Romans.

The question is, how do we get out of here?

We're not getting out of here.

We need water.

Can you show me to the nearest well?

I'll come too.
