00:13To the heaven of the heavenly king, as each day is free we sing.
00:24Sing your Savior's worthy praise, for your sin is worth and worth.
00:44When Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist in the waters of the Jordan, he
00:50was filled with the Holy Spirit and led into the wilderness.
01:20The Lord has come with you.
01:22The Lord has come with you.
01:31The Lord has come with you.
02:17I can stay away from his work just so long.
02:20I should have started back to my farm a week ago.
02:22And I to my shop in Dothan.
02:24But...
02:25My brother will be needing me in our fishing boat, but I can't leave.
02:29Not now.
02:31If John was the Messiah, if he hadn't denied being the Messiah, I would stay on forever.
02:36But he did deny it.
02:37I heard him.
02:38We all did.
02:40As I said, if there was any hope that he was, well, even a prophet like Elijah...
02:46Now, why not wait a little longer?
02:47The Nazarene may come back.
02:49You heard what the Baptists said of him.
02:51No, I didn't.
02:52Only a dozen versions of what others say was heard from someone they know.
02:55I heard John say, there is one among you who is greater than I.
03:00I heard him say the Nazarene was the Lamb of God...
03:03who would take away all the sins of the world.
03:07You heard that yourself?
03:09As clearly as I hear you.
03:11Lamb of God.
03:13Lamb of God doesn't mean Messiah.
03:15The Baptist.
03:18Are you worried because you don't know him?
03:21Yes, but...
03:22I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven and it remained on him.
03:27I myself did not know him.
03:30But he who sent me forth to baptize with water said to me,
03:34He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain,
03:38this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
03:42And I have seen and borne witness.
03:49This is the Son of God.
03:51Son of God.
03:53If he is what you say,
03:57isn't his mission among men?
04:00Then why has he gone into the wild lands where there are no men?
04:04Yes, why?
04:05When will he come back?
04:06Did he tell you?
04:07No, he did not tell me.
04:09When the voice of the Lord first called me to be his servant,
04:12I too went into the wilderness.
04:15To be near God?
04:18Yes.
04:19And to be sure that you really heard Jehovah's voice?
04:24Oh, no, I was sure of that.
04:27No, to be sure of myself.
04:31Of my own worth and fitness.
04:35A man so summoned cannot doubt the call.
04:39Only his own mortal weaknesses and frailties.
04:45He must make very sure of himself.
04:55And during 40 days and 40 nights,
04:59he ate nothing and he hungered.
05:18A man I used to bear.
05:18It was his fault.
05:19I have to tell you of his own lovely name.
05:19When you asked him,
05:19you will be his sister and your wife.
05:19You are more of yourself.
05:19And he is your daughter.
05:20So I have to take care of himself.
05:20And I have to tell you of myself.
05:20How is he doing?
05:21Well, I have to tell you of myself.
05:21And I have to tell you of my little girl.
05:26I have to tell you of my girl and my girl.
05:38THE END
06:23And the tempter came to him, saying,
06:25If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.
06:37It is written,
06:38Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
06:48And the tempter took him to the holy city, and they looked down upon it from a pinnacle of the
06:53temple.
06:54And the voice said,
06:56If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down.
07:00For it is written, He will give His angels charge of you.
07:05And on their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against the stone.
07:17Again it is written,
07:19You shall not tempt the Lord your God.
07:38And the tempter took Him to a high mountain,
07:40and showed Him the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,
07:44and said to Him,
07:45All these will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.
07:51Be God, Satan.
07:54For it is written,
07:57You shall worship the Lord your God,
08:00and Him only shall you serve.
08:02You shall worship the Lord your God,
08:32You shall worship the Lord your God,
08:38And the Father will believe in the Lord your God,
08:42And the Lord our God,
08:47Because he have began,
08:59and the angels of the Lord
08:59They shall worship the Lord,
09:11It was two, uh, maybe three weeks ago, horsemen, a whole troop.
09:18They tied his hands, flung him on a horse, and rode off with him.
09:24Herod's men.
09:26Did they take him toward Tiberias?
09:28No, south.
09:31To Machairis.
09:33That's what the followers figured.
09:36If only he had gone a little farther away, into the Decapolis, or the Transjordan, or he hadn't spoken so
09:45sharp about the Queen.
09:46He's a good man, and a brave one.
09:49A great man.
09:52No greater was ever born a woman.
09:54Yes.
09:55Well, uh, I'm off for Agilonne, if you're heading that way.
10:00No.
10:03No.
10:03No, my path leads to Galilee.
10:09Galilee.
10:27Meanwhile, in the fortress of Machairis.
10:34I am merely fulfilling the word given me by the Lord Jehovah.
10:38You've been stirring up the people, causing discontent, disturbance.
10:42Would you not shout out if you saw a blind man walking to the rim of a precipice?
10:45If you'd kept to your baptizing and preaching of Jehovah, you'd be a free man now.
10:50But you, you had to proclaim judgment against me, my wife, the whole Herodian line.
10:56A ruler should set an example for his people of humility, reverence, devotion to God.
11:02Have you forgotten it was my father that built the temple?
11:06And never entered it.
11:07A king has a thousand demands on his time.
11:11Neither my father, my brothers, nor myself have ever interfered with the scribes, the priests, the temple.
11:17Not even with you, you shouter of doom.
11:21We've been more than tolerant.
11:23A man does not serve God by ignoring his commands.
11:26That seems to be the way you serve me.
11:29I am your king, you know.
11:31I seek to serve you.
11:33Oh!
11:34But the greatest service I can render any man, be he king or slave,
11:39by calling on him to repent his sins before it is too late.
11:43Sins, sins, sins.
11:45Can't you ever talk of anything but sins?
11:46Particularly my sins?
11:49Shouting insults, treasonous insults, the length of Jordan,
11:52turning my people against me.
11:54If your people no longer respect you,
11:57I am not the man to blame.
12:00Then who is the guilty one?
12:02Name him.
12:03I'll imprison him instead.
12:13My father would have had you strangled months ago.
12:17You know that, don't you?
12:20Archelaus would have spitted you over a slow fire.
12:23If I dealt with you as my wife wants me to.
12:29But I respect your courage.
12:33I believe you really think these things that you say about repentance and all that.
12:39Possibly the Lord did give you certain things to do.
12:48But you can't do them from a prison cell, can you?
12:54Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
12:58the Lord is with me.
12:59Yes, yes.
13:00But suppose you had your freedom.
13:01You could carry out your work better, couldn't you?
13:04Perhaps.
13:05Well, I don't want to stand in your way.
13:08But I can't have you denouncing me and my wife as you have been doing.
13:12So give me your promise to speak respectfully of my household
13:16or say nothing at all and you're a free man.
13:20I will gladly speak well of you to whoever will listen.
13:24If you will repent, truly repent, and cast out that woman Herodias.
13:30But I am married to her.
13:32It was no marriage.
13:33She is your brother's wife.
13:35It is not lawful for you to have her.
13:37I am the king.
13:38I make my own laws.
13:41You, like every man, will have to answer to the Lord.
13:46Guard, guard!
13:51Take that man and throw him into a dungeon.
14:11Behold the king, Herod Antipas.
14:16Petrarch of all Galilee.
14:21Pouring his courage.
14:23Too late, as usual.
14:26At least I don't slink behind draperies.
14:28He's eavesdropping like a scullion maid.
14:30I did no hiding when I was wed to Philip.
14:34He was a man, not a cringing, superstitious fool.
14:38Afraid of a half-demented wild man from the hills.
14:41I'm not afraid of him.
14:42No.
14:42No.
14:43It's a political matter.
14:45These accursed followers of his, they...
14:47Oh?
14:49It's an unarmed rebel that you fear.
14:51I don't fear this.
14:54I've heard all I want to on this matter.
14:56No doubt.
15:03You, the king.
15:06You'd rather plead with him, bargain with him.
15:09After all the things he said of me.
15:11The shame he brought on my name.
15:14He'll have no audience in the dungeon.
15:17He won't need one.
15:18Now, when the word gets out that he lives,
15:22and it will get out, you know it will,
15:25men will say,
15:27Herod fears to kill him because he spoke the truth.
15:32Nonsense.
15:46You do think so.
15:50That's what you fear.
15:53That he really is a man sent by God.
16:00Oh, you fool.
16:04You drunken, craven fool.
16:33That he's a man sent by God.
16:37We've done nothing but strain water through our nets.
16:40To the south, the middle, and here.
16:42How about trying the north end tomorrow?
16:45Not us.
16:45We wasted a whole morning there.
16:48Well, fish or no fish, the nets have to be hung.
16:52Andrew.
16:55Andrew.
16:56Huh?
16:57Yes?
16:57The nets, remember?
16:59Oh, sure.
17:03That walk back from the Jordan must be gone.
17:05He wants to warn you off.
17:06You've been half asleep ever since.
17:09No.
17:11No, just thinking.
17:13That John fellow?
17:14Mm-hmm.
17:16If only you could have heard him.
17:17Just once.
17:18One day he'll come to Galilee.
17:21Escape from Achirus?
17:22Or be released?
17:24Not while Herod Antipas lives.
17:27Even if he does get away,
17:29he'll likely head toward Philip's territory, not Herod's.
17:32Not if Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled.
17:34I had Shalia read it to me again last night.
17:38The land of Zebulun.
17:39The land of Naphtali.
17:41Towards the sea.
17:43Across the Jordan.
17:45Galilee of the Gentiles.
17:47The people who sat in darkness
17:49have seen a great light.
17:52And for those who sat in the region in shadow of death,
17:55light is dawn.
17:58That could mean, well, something else.
18:01Not just the Baptist.
18:02No.
18:03No, it must mean him.
18:05The fire.
18:06The sureness that he had.
18:07It was...
18:08It was like a light.
18:10Like a great flame burning inside of him.
18:13Well, let's hope it does mean him.
18:16That it does come true.
18:18It will.
18:19It must.
18:39Hello.
18:40Good day, Andrew.
18:42You know my name.
18:44I saw your brother Jordan.
18:50Simon.
18:50You're the Nazarene.
18:52Simon.
18:54Simon, come here.
18:58Well?
18:59This is the man from Nazareth.
19:01The one who went into the wilderness.
19:04Oh, the carpenter.
19:05No more.
19:07No longer will I work with wood.
19:10Now my work is with mankind.
19:13This is my brother, Simon Bar Jonas.
19:17Simon.
19:17Just what work is it you do with men?
19:21I bring them hope.
19:23New hope.
19:24For the kingdom of God is close at hand.
19:27And his forgiveness ready for all who repent and truly believe.
19:33That's what the Baptist meant when he said,
19:36one who comes after me.
19:38You.
19:39You're carrying on his work.
19:41He made quite an impression on my brother.
19:44You set quite a task for yourself.
19:46Is there anything I can do?
19:48I mean, anything we can do to help you?
19:49Teaching and preaching's not our line.
19:51Won't you be our guest in our house while you're here?
19:53I'll be honored.
19:55Well, it's no palace.
19:57We're not landowners.
19:58We're just fishermen.
20:00Follow me.
20:02And I will make you fishers of men.

24:33I can't explain it even to myself
24:35but the way I feel about him
24:38I'm just a fisherman
24:40I feel at home among men like ourselves
24:44but not with scribes and teachers
24:46men with great knowledge
24:51yet this Nazarene reads the Torah as easily as any scribe
24:55speaks with the sureness of a priest
24:59he knows more than any man I've ever met
25:03still I like him
25:06yes I
25:07I like him
25:30on the following morning as the sun rose over the mountains on the far shore of the Galilee and sea
25:36a man left Capernaum by the
25:38the western gate, seeking solitude in the lonely hills.
25:53Is it morning already?
25:55Must be, the sun is up.
25:56I thought I'd never get to sleep last night.
25:59I kept thinking about the Nazarene.
26:01What's all that noise?
26:03Crowd outside, trying to get in the gate.
26:08I hope they haven't awakened him.
26:11Let's go and see.
26:17Morning, Myra.
26:18Good morning.
26:19Breakfast ready?
26:20Not yet. Good morning, Andrew.
26:21And to you.
26:22Oh, those people.
26:24Don't they know our guest needs his rest?
26:26I shall quiet them.
26:28Andrew, wait.
26:29The healer isn't sleeping. He's gone.
26:31Gone?
26:32Gone where?
26:33When?
26:34Oh, Irby, before daybreak.
26:36Are you sure?
26:36Yes.
26:37As I came to kindle the fire, he was leaving by the gate.
26:40But why?
26:41I don't know.
26:42He didn't speak to me.
26:43I don't think he saw me.
26:45Did you say something to him last night?
26:47Only that he was more than welcome.
26:50Guest doesn't just leave without a reason.
26:53Your mother, she's always complaining.
26:56Simon, he cured her fever.
26:59Yes.
27:02Well, someone must have said something.
27:04I was the one who invited him.
27:06Whatever it was, we've got to find him.
27:08Go to your brother's house and ask them to start searching the city.
27:11We'll get James and John and cover the hills.
27:33I just saw Billy.
27:37What?
27:56We're all right.
27:58Disg neighbors!
28:00Why'd you slip away from the house this morning?
28:03Anyone in my family said anything to annoy you?
28:06No, no, they were most gracious.
28:07You're sure?
28:08Of course, I'm sure.
28:11Then why did you come up here?
28:14To be alone.
28:16To think and meditate.
28:20Are you finished?
28:24Yes.
28:26We better get back.
28:27Everyone's been searching for you.
28:28People have been clamoring outside our gates since sunrise, demanding to see you.
28:32Well, shall we start?
28:32Not to Capernaum, James.
28:35The whole city's waiting for you.
28:37Let us go on to the other towns, that I may preach there also.
28:44Rabbi, if you were looking for a catcher of fish, it would be different.
28:48I'll haul a net or draw an oar with any man.
28:52But to talk to people, help you preach.
28:57Take these Zebedees.
28:59They're smart, educated, even if they do work in their father's boat.
29:02Or my brother, Andrew.
29:04He's thought of nothing but religion since he heard that John the Baptist fellow.
29:08They'll fit into your plans.
29:11But a fellow like me...
29:13You said you wanted to come with me.
29:16I did.
29:19I did.
29:23Then come, you will.
29:29And so began the first Galilean mission, bringing a new light to those who had sat in darkness.
29:35Michael是不是.
29:36Goodbye.
29:47Bye-bye.
29:48Bye-bye.
29:49Oh, I lost the 1992's.
