that just broke his heart.

An angel?

An... angel?

I am a religious man, Mary.

Don't blaspheme.

It is the truth, Joseph.

Out of all the places in the world...

all the women in the world,

God found you,

in this little village?

Just...

just an angel.

Just an angel...

I think he thought I was crazy.

He did not think you were crazy.

He used to tell me

that story all the time.

He thought he was crazy when

an angel appeared to him in his dream.

No.

He loved you with all his heart.

And he loved you

as if you were his own.

I was his own.

Now it's time for you to go

and find the answers you need.

And leave you alone?

It is what your Father asks of you.

You've given me so much joy.

We heard about Joseph.

How was the journey?

It was long.

A loss to us all.

Yes, thank you, Martha.

Could I have a moment with Mary?

Certainly. Come, brother.

- Mary.

- Jesus.

There's something I must tell you.

You see, my father's death

has ended my life as I knew it.

And it's time now

that I find my way.

Where is your way?

I can't be with you.

- What have I done?

- My life is not my own.

What have I done

to turn you away?

It is not you.

- You love someone else.

- No, no.

I am not who you think I am.

I know who you are.

And I know you love me

as I love you.

Mary, listen to me.

You must live your life...

without me.

Jesus!

Whatever it is...

you have to do...

safe journey.

( Man shouting )

We stand here.

on the banks of the Jordan River

where the people of lsrael

once crossed so triumphantly

in their God driven

wanderings toward freedom!

( laughs )

Look at us today!

Our leaders are weak and sinful.

They fail to keep the spirit of

the Covenant

of the letter of the law.

The prophet lsaiah said,

"Wash yourselves...

make yourself clean...

remove the evil of your doings,

learn to do good."

Who will be baptized here today,

to show the world that he is cleansed?

Baptist, cleanse me.

Come. All who wish to

be baptized will be cleansed.

Forthe Baptism signifies

that your commitment

has already been made...

to hate injustice,

and fight the battle

of the righteous ones.

I baptize you with

water for repentance.

( laughing )

What's the matter, John?

Don't you recognize

your own relatives?

Jesus?

You are unrecognizable.

I am?

Look at yourself.

I'm a prophet,

crying out in the wilderness!

Yes, and properly dressed for it!

- Come, sit.

-Thank you.

Eat with us.

This man is my blood,

my family--Jesus, of Nazareth.

Thank you, John.

How long has it been?

Twenty years?

How are you?

What are

you doing now?

How are Joseph and Mary?

Joseph has recently died.

I'm sorry.
