Into Temptation Page #2

How Mary Magdalen

purportedly lived

before encountering Christ.

The profession known

as the oldest.

What does an exemplary

life really mean?

How did a whoremonger

make it in?

That's how alone I am.

Hey. It's John.

I'm fine.

Don't be late

to your opera. Go.

I'm... everything's...

Can't a son call

his mother? I'm fine.

I'll call again.

I promise.

Yes, I'd like

to see you, too.

What're you seeing?

Hm. She dies at the end.

What do you think?

About what?

My name is John.

I know.

You do?

You're kidding, right?

Nope.

We've been waiting on you.

You have?

Quite a show.

It's my first

time down here.

That's good.

"First time."

That's a hoot.

I love that.

You might have me

mixed up with

someone else.

Yeah, maybe I do.

You let me know

when I'm needed.

Okay, Zeke. Thanks.

What you need, baby?

Maybe Miriam can help.

I'm looking

for someone.

Yeah, who?

My sister.

She down here,

maybe you don't

wanna find her.

'Scuse me, baby.

Hey!

Just curious.

What's behind the

"Members Only" curtain?

Can't tell you.

Why not?

You're not a member.

How do I

become a member?

Invite only.

And who does

the inviting?

I do.

How do I know if

I want to become

a member

if I don't know

what goes on, you

know, in the club?

Come around again.

I'll think about it.

Maybe I will.

Spending a little

money in here

doesn't hurt.

Oh, okay.

$ 12.

Um, wait.

Close enough.

You okay? Hey!

Oh, sorry.

How you doing?

What?

How are you?

I'm good.

Can you spare a buck?

You know what?

I just spent all

my money on a...

Oh.

Why do you have those?

I, I use them

to pray.

For who?

Anyone who needs it.

They work?

I don't know.

They're pretty.

Excuse me.

Here, take them.

No!

Go on.

You sure?

Sure.

Yeah. Thanks!

Don't mention it.

Luke tells us

today that Jesus

had the unmitigated gall

to dine with

a tax collector.

That's right.

Just as popular then

as they are today.

Somewhere just

south of hooker on

the sinner chain.

And this is the kind

of behavior that drove

his disciples crazy!

"It makes you look

like a nut job, Jesus."

And they were right.

I mean, who befriends

his auditor, takes

him to dinner,

and then picks up

the check and doesn't

try to write it off?

Jesus seemed to have

an affinity for

the hard-to-love.

I think he had

low self-esteem.

I mean, we know he had

a father-complex, right?

And how-how could he

not have issues with

his virgin mother?

But still,

he showed us

how to love.

Which is more than

I can say for me,

standing here before

you, simply preaching.

Amen.

Body of Christ.

Amen.

Body of Christ.

Amen.

Body of... John.

I need to talk to you.

I will be right back.
