King of Kings Page #6

I must speak with this man.

What does a man profit,

if he shall gain the whole world...

and lose his own soul?

Could you explain

the parable of the tares of the fields?

He that soweth the good seed

is the Son of Man.

And the field is the world.

We are strangers in your city.

We seek one called John the Baptist.

Can you tell us where to find him?

She's evil. Stone her!

- Stone her!

- She's a harlot. She must die!

She's evil. Stone her!

- Let her be stoned. She must die.

- She's an adulteress.

What has this woman done?

She's been caught in adultery, and

she must be stoned according to the law.

She's a harlot. She must die!

- Let her be stoned!

- She must die!

She's a harlot. She must die!

Then let him who is without sin

amongst you cast the first stone.

Woman, where are they now

who condemned you?

Then neither will I condemn you.

Go and sin no more.

If you would find John the Baptist,

he lies in the palace dungeon.

- What was his crime?

- He told the truth.

He may be the one we have waited for.

I must speak with him.

And, Barabbas, so near to Jesus...

now turned and fled

from the Roman guards.

Leaving behind a man

seeking answers from one stone...

whether to run with Barabbas,

the messiah of war...

or walk with Jesus,

the new Messiah of peace.

What is it?

Another one wants

to see John the Baptist.

- Send him away.

- He will not go.

I mean, I do not know

how to send this one away.

Show him in.

The prisoner, John, is not allowed visitors.

If you wish to send him a message,

leave it with the guard.

I would see John.

Why?

I come to free John.

And just how do you propose

to break him free from his cell?

I come to free him within his cell.

Freedom? Behind stone walls?

You are free

to come and go as you please...

and yet you are still a prisoner because

you place faith in nothing but your sword.

Who are you? Where do you come from?

My name is Jesus. I come from Nazareth.

Nazareth?

I have not been there for many years...

yet your face is familiar.

You once came to our house

and spoke to my mother.

The house of the carpenter?

For some reason unknown to me,

I have favored your mother once before.

I will give you a moment

with the prisoner, John.

But remember this:

As you have your duty to your God,

so do I to my emperor.

Break Caesar's law...

and you shall find in me

the most merciless of all men.

Ichebious!

Let him take a look at the baptizer.

John.

Give me your blessing!

The name of Jesus

moved through the land...

and yet others came to walk with him.

And they were Philip and Bartholomew.

And one more joined them near the city.

Take me with you, Rabbi.
