A census can only mean one thing: More taxes for Herod.
A child.
A child.
A husband has been chosen for me.
A look in his eye?
A man of power.
A man ready to proclaim himself Messiah?
A man the people will follow.
A man who will give of himself before anyone else.
A Messiah for the lowest of men to the highest of kings.
A star shall come forth.
A vision from God!
Aaron!
Aaron! Aaron!
About your kindness.
Ah.
All of us must die. Some sooner than others.
An angel told you this? That you will bear the son of God?
And a man shall arise like the sun...
And after the fire?
And after the wind, an earthquake.
And behold, the Lord passed by...
And from the river to the ends...
And He shall speak peace unto the heathens.
And holy is His name.
And how many of those days...
And if I accuse you...
And that I should not be afraid.
And the holy offspring shall be called the son of God.
And the man who inherits my kingdom will have the same intentions as I do.
And the star itself?
And what of Joseph?
And what of the prophecy?
And you shall call his name Jesus.
And you're following a star...
ANNA: That is a question for God to decide, not you.
Anna.
ANNE: I'll talk to her.
ANNE: It's burning. JOAQUIM: I know.
ANNE: Mary, the cheese.
ANNE: Ruth is waiting for you. But I was working.
Any clue we find may be the final piece.
Are you afraid?
Are you frightened?
As have many.
Babylonian.
Back in line, all of you. Take this man's animal...
Balthasar, if what the prophet says here is true...
Balthasar, surely you will join me.
BALTHASAR: For the first time in 3000 years...
BALTHASAR: It was good we brought one more camel...
BALTHASAR: No. Venus.
BALTHASAR: The star is here.
BALTHASAR: The words speak to the very pattern I have been watching.
BALTHASAR: There is a star that has been moving...
Because you and I, Antipas, we are the same.
Behold, your king is coming to you.
Bethlehem. This way.
Blessed are you among women...
Blessed is she who believes the Lord's words.
BOY: Goats.
BOY: Help, help! Soldiers! Soldiers! And his dominion will be from sea...
BOY: Stop it!
Build another pool up there...
But hear me when I tell you, my son...
But how could you know?
But I am an old man.
But look.
But the journey to Bethlehem is more than 100 miles.
But the Lord was not in the wind...
But, Elizabeth...
But, Melchior...
Carry out the orders of King Herod!
CHILDREN: A still, small voice.
CHILDREN: But the Lord was not in the earthquake.
CHILDREN: But the Lord was not in the fire.
CHILDREN: But the Lord was not in the wind.
Come on. Come on.
Come with us, Mary.
Come.
Come.
Do you know the reason I chose you, Mary?
Do you know...
Does that surprise you?
Each man will return to the land of his ancestors...
Elizabeth is not expecting you now.
ELIZABETH: And a great wind rent the mountains...
ELIZABETH: Mary.
ELIZABETH: Where all names come from.
ELIZABETH: Zechariah! His name is John.
Elizabeth!
Elizabeth!
Elizabeth...
Enough for a family.
Even in Nazareth?
Even the words I spoke to the children tell of a new king...
Father, we must send your soldiers to follow them...
Father, you have no greater ally than the man who speaks to you now.
Father.
Father...
Fear not...
Fools.
For it is he who will save his people from their sins.
For king.
For me and for each member of my family.
For the king of kings.
For the lowest of men to the highest of kings.
For the priest of all priests.
For unto you is born this day...
For years I have studied the words of the prophets.
For you.
Frankincense.
From his own people.
GABRIEL: And he will be the prophet of the most high...
GABRIEL: Arise, Joseph.
GABRIEL: Rejoice.
GABRIEL: Take the child and his mother...
GABRIEL: You will be struck dumb and not be able to speak...
GABRIEL: Zechariah.
GASPAR: A star...
GASPAR: Another star!
GIRL: Can I go?
GIRL: Mary, come.
GIRL: Shalom, Mary.
Go!
Go.
God will lift his burden.
Gold.
Have them stop.
Have your soldiers and your spies...
He did this for you.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones...
He has filled the hungry with good things.
He has scattered the proud.
He has shown strength with His arm.
He is for all mankind.
He is just and endowed with salvation...
He speaks!
He writes of who our son will be. What he will become.
He's beautiful.
He's been silent since he came out of the temple.
He's moving.
He's not the one.
Heh. Nothing.
Help!
Heralded by the star we have followed these many months.
Here.
HEROD: A child for the lowest of men...
HEROD: I think I will have a few words with him.
Herod's tax collectors will be here tomorrow.
His name is John.
Ho, ho, ho, shh, shh.
How are they to understand?
How can this be, since I've been with no man?
How is he to believe this?
How is your faith now?
How many years from now?
Huh?
I am nothing.
I am your husband. That is all anyone need know.
I ask not your home, but any place you have.
I beg you!
I believe you.
I believed you were a woman of great virtue.
I bring you good tidings of great joy.
I cannot register here.
I have been given the strength I prayed for.
I have had a wife betray me.
I have had two sons do the same before you.
I have lived my life seeking honor.
I have told him the same, but he feels unworthy.
I have told the truth.
I have waited a lifetime for the signs I now see.
I hear his silence.
I hear that my subjects are rising against me...
I know this. I do.
I know.
I know. Mary, God showed me. An angel came to me in my dream.
I must go to Bethlehem.
I pray that he's strong.
I promise.
I promise.
I was married even younger than you.
I will end this threat to my rule, as I will all threats.
I will have broken a law laid down by God.
I will make no accusation.
I will protect your daughter and the child with all that I am, I promise you.
I will tell our child about you.
I wish to have the roof on before her return. Before the harvest.
I wonder if...
I would never ask you to lie.
I'll be here for the harvest.
I'm building a house.
I'm counting tomorrow.
I'm sorry, but I cannot join you.
I'm sorry, there is no room here.
I've told Sarah I can help with the children.
If he could speak, he would want a name that honors such a blessed child.
If I am correct, and I usually am...
If I claim this child is mine, I will be lying.
If I say this child is not mine, they will ask what I want to do.
If the two of them draw close to each other...
If you need another camel, I'll bring it for you.
Is he to expect your return?
Is there an inn? Is there a place for us? My wife, she's in pain.
Is there someone? Help us!
Is this the cause of their dissension?
Is why I have loyal subjects.
ISAAC: Help!
It is called Sharu.
It will hold your family well.
It will not be years.
It's all I can do.
It's time for me to return home.
Jacob and his family are going south in the morning.
Jerusalem.
JOAQUIM: Blessed art Thou, o Lord, our God...
JOAQUIM: That's all?
JOAQUIM: That's all?
John?
Join me.
Joseph is a good man.
Joseph, Mary's back. She's back. She's back.
Joseph, she has never broken a promise.
Joseph, the child is pressing.
JOSEPH: Bethlehem.
JOSEPH: Come on. Come.
JOSEPH: Oh, Mary!
Joseph!
Joseph! Joseph!
Joseph?
Joseph.
Joseph.
Joseph.
Joseph...
Judea, Samaria, Galilee...
Jupiter is here.
Just for a moment.
Kill it, we have enough.
Let it be done to me, according to your word.
Look over there!
Magi. The wisest of the wise.
MAN 1: Death to Herod!
MAN 1: Herod, Herod. MAN 2: Herod's here.
MAN 1: Herod's soldiers are coming!
MAN 1: Hurry! WOMAN 2: Quickly!
MAN 1: Slow down.
MAN 1: Stone her!
MAN 1: Stop them! MAN 4: Hurry!
MAN 1: The soldiers are behind us. Stop their horses.
MAN 2: Block the road!
MAN 2: Leave us alone!
MAN 2: Stone her! MAN 3: Let Joseph cast the first stone!
MAN 2: Yes, come.
MAN 3: Herod is... MAN 4: God will deliver us!
MAN 3: Hurry! WOMAN 1: Block the road!
MAN 4: Now, Joseph!
MAN: Joseph. Ha, ha.
MAN: Shout in triumph, o daughter of Judea.
MAN: This honor is for you, Zechariah...
Mar...
Mary, so how am I to answer this?
MARY: A Messiah...
MARY: Aliyah! Mary!
MARY: How is anyone to believe me?
MARY: Mother...
MARY: No.
MARY: Please, Lord...
MARY: The Almighty has done great things.
MARY: Why do they force me to marry a man...
Mary!
Mary! Mary!
Mary! Mary!
Mary.
Mary.
Mary.
Mary.
Mary...
Melchior, Gaspar.
MELCHIOR: And after this...
MELCHIOR: Barren desert. Inhospitable plains.
MELCHIOR: I don't really miss him.
MELCHIOR: Try, Gaspar.
Melchior...
Men have had their own children taken to satisfy their debt.
MIDWIFE: A son.
Mine too.
Mother and father aligned in the heavens as one.
Move.
Much has changed since then.
My child...
My father lost his life...
My father told me a long time ago...
My father would never allow that.
My pillows?
My wife is too old to bear a child.
No talking. Move.
No, no, no. I am the hungry one, not you.
No, no. For you. For your child.
No, please.
No! No!
No! No!
No.
No.
No. No.
Not mine.
Not my daughter!
Nothing but the hope of waiting for one.
Now, all it will take is one man.
Of course. God will deliver us, Mary.
Of Israel?
Oh, child!
Oh, child.
One half shekel for the temple, two shekels for Caesar...
One half shekel for the temple.
One hundred and five.
One hundred and four.
One man to convince the people he is their Messiah.
Only one more camel?
Opposition that may rise above mere words.
Out of Bethlehem shall come a ruler...
Please, no, no! Ali... Aliyah!
Please. Let me speak.
Please. Please.
Rejoice.
Rome is requesting a census.
Rugged mountain ranges.
Ruth, we made it just this morning.
RUTH: And after the earthquake, a fire.
RUTH: The word of the Lord came to Elijah...
She pays you to help her. You can't be late. Here, take this with you. Hurry up.
She says I'm always welcome.
She will work to pay your debt. Next.
She's back?
So does Zechariah.
So was my mother.
SOLDIER: Bethlehem? Search him.
SOLDIER: Step in line! No, please, no.
Some jewelery for your beautiful wife.
Son of God?
Sorry.
Stay with us, then. We will pray for guidance.
Stop.
Strength from God.
Strong man.
Surely you speak of a spiritual journey, Melchior.
Take it, Joseph.
Tell me what they claim.
Tell me.
Tell your father that they left her behind. He needs his pride.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's a good animal. Would your husband be willing to sell him?
The agreement was for you to hand over one third of your land...
The awaited Messiah? Hmm?
The bathing pool, fed by the water from the aqueducts.
The child...
The girl, take her.
The greatest of kings, born in the most humble of places.
The harvest will be strong a few months from now.
The Holy City.
The Holy Spirit will come upon you...
The kingdom will be yours, Father...
The law says you will stay with us for another year...
The Lord is with you.
The moment I heard your voice...
The order was for each man to travel to the place of his ancestors.
The prophecy is a myth, Your Excellency...
The prophecy speaks of a child...
The prophecy will end tonight, Father.
The prophecy will end tonight, Father.
The prophet said this man...
The sons of Bethlehem shall be no more.
The sons of Bethlehem shall be no more.
The star of the prophecy.
The star will be as bright here as anywhere.
The tax collection in Galilee, any sign of rebellion?
Their animal is weak.
Then make certain Zechariah finds a good family for you to return with.
Then we risk not finding this king at all.
Then you must leave in the morning. Take the animal.
There is a will for this child...
There is always hope, Mary.
There is no well before the Sea of Galilee.
These shepherds...
They could stone you in the street.
They will allow her to stay.
This is foolish talk.
This is the fountain of life, of all humanity.
This is the shoot of God most high.
This star, the one that you have followed...
To see yourself in a young face, there is no greater joy.
Town of Nazareth, in the name of King Herod and the almighty Caesar...
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Mm.
Two lines. Now.
VENDOR 1: Almonds! I have almonds!
VENDOR 1: Fresh picked almonds!
VENDOR 1: Good for sacrifice. VENDOR 2: Good pigeons.
VENDOR 2: For sacrifice.
VENDOR 2: Olives!
VENDOR 3: Doves. Golden doves. No blemishes.
VENDOR 3: Pigeons for sacrifice. VENDOR 4: One half shekel.
VENDOR: Pigeons for sacrifice!
VENDOR: Pigeons for sacrifice.
Venus is called the mother planet.
Was it one of Herod's soldiers?
Was it?
We are each given a gift.
We follow the star.
We have barely enough to feed all of us.
We know nothing of the dangers we may find.
We must go if we're to reach Bethlehem by dark.
We shall not return to Herod.
We will find a place.
We, too, have been waiting for God's king.
We're here.
What about the food I'm accustomed to?
What do you bring in the hope I will grant your request?
What do you mean, a child? Are you not here seeking a man?
What if your soldiers were to go to Bethlehem...
What is it, child?
What is unwise, Tero, is to take such a prophecy too lightly.
What was your gift?
What? More?
When he's more than just a child.
When you find him...
Where does this name come from, Elizabeth?
Whether you believe is your choice.
Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Why is Father doing this? Why now?
Will it be something he says?
Will you not provide for us?
Without that, there can be no trial.
WOMAN 1: It is the king. WOMAN 2: The king. The king is here.
WOMAN 2: No blemishes. VENDOR: One shekel.
WOMAN: Good for sacrifice.
WOMAN: Shalom, Mary.
WOMAN: What name have you given him? He shall have the name of John.
Women have been put to death for this.
Yes, but I would need my instruments, my charts.
Yes, but we are not here for that harvest, are we?
Yes.
You cannot pay tax and have no land to offer?
You carry him like a son.
You have one month! And any resistance will be dealt with.
You have shown great mercy, Joseph.
You know Joseph.
You said you wished to visit in the summer. That's what you told us a season ago.
You said yourself it would be a star over Judea.
You see, Gaspar...
You should have stayed with Elizabeth.
You will consider him your husband now...
You will find a child wrapped in cloths...
You.
You're building a strong house.
You're not sorry.
You've never really told me of your dream.
Your arrival is by the hand of Providence.
Your child will need a father. I will declare him as my own.
Your Excellency knows, to acquire this much gold...
Your Excellency, I too have studied these words.
Your gift is what you carry inside.
Your grandfather, your cousins.
Your wife will bear you a son.
Your woman looks cold.
ZACHARIAH: The blacksmith will take you all the way into Nazareth.
Zechariah would not wish for this.
Zechariah.
And what of Joseph? He's a good man, Mary, but this?
Do you ever wonder when we'll know? Know? Know what?
Each man to return to the place of his birth. Such an order will lead to unrest.
Elizabeth. What's wrong, Zechariah?
Even in her old age. Elizabeth has a husband!
For you. No.
Get down! Get back! MAN 1: It's Isaac.
Half shekel for a pigeon. WOMAN 1: Four for sacrifice. Four.
Help! Please, Lord.
How did you...? Soldiers, their thirst for blood...
How do you know? Because I am the wisest.
I know. Does your father have enough?
If I could have the land for one more year... What do you bring, huh?
Is that your animal? That's all I have.
Is there a place for us? MAN 1: No.
Mary's back! BOY: Mary!
No more. No more.
No, please. Next.
None that remain. None that remain means there was.
Not a word? He writes.
Now? Now.
Open the door! WOMAN: Go away!
Please, if I don't have enough land... What?
Silence! In the name of King Herod.
Stop looking at him. You'll get us in trouble. I'm not looking at him.
Take them. But what about my cushions?
Thank you, Father. Go.
The journey would be more bearable. MELCHIOR: Tell me, Gaspar...
The people whisper of rebellion even now. It is the will of Caesar.
The prophecy of the Messiah? MAN: The Messiah.
They cannot expect... They will allow nothing.
This is too... Let me speak.
To reflect the light. To reflect the light.
Very accustomed to. Yes. I need my dates, my nuts, my spices.
Where are you headed? From Nazareth to Bethlehem.
Yes, you are. No, I'm not.
Yes. Are you? Yes.
You wish to travel to the land of Judea? No.
You wished to speak with me, Father? This collection...
...a new Messiah could come within our own lifetimes.
...a still, small voice.
...all of them talk of this prophetic king...
...all three will appear to touch.
...all three will appear to touch...
...along with each member of his family. And what if it's a four day journey?
...and a great wind rent the mountains...
...and a power from the most high will overshadow you.
...and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
...and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord.
...and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord.
...and cover the walls with golden tiles.
...and find every young boy there...
...and from the river to the ends of the earth.
...and give birth to a son...
...and God said:
...and has exalted those who were humble.
...and have it spill into the pool below as a waterfall...
...and he told me the child within you...
...and His dominion will be from sea to sea...
...and one third of his land to be seized...
...and remain there until I bring you word.
...and what do I hear from my own son?
...and you will call his name Jesus.
...and your village.
...as I will all threats.
...as your palace in Jerusalem.
...because you believest not my words.
...by order of King Herod.
...embraced by those unwise enough to worship their true king.
...for he will make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
...for nothing said by God can be impossible.
...for the continued good of Herod's kingdom.
...for the first time in 3000 years.
...for those who have nothing.
...for you have found favor with God.
...from the land of...
...greater than my fear of what they may do.
...had been conceived by the Holy Spirit.
...has conceived a son in her old age...
...has revealed an opposition to my rule...
...have you spoken with regret for having journeyed with us?
...I hardly know?
...I have broken no vow. Oh, you have broken every vow, Mary.
...I will even be able to teach him anything.
...if you fail me now.
...in all manner except that which leads to family.
...in the city of David, a savior who is Christ the Lord.
...is matched only by their thirst for money.
...it will take months to journey there.
...keep watch for a man returning to Bethlehem.
...king of the world...
...made into flesh.
...my child leapt in my womb for joy.
...nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire.
...only because it burns bright?
...or that might be your dinner. Perhaps we should have brought another.
...perhaps we should keep what we have seen to ourselves.
...please return to us...
...so that we may come worship him as well.
...tell me, what does it mean?
...that I find myself concerned with.
...that you will never, never live to see your rule...
...that's why we follow the star.
...then you will go into his house.
...there is no one in your family who bears that name.
...there shall arise a star from Jacob.
...this land you speak of...
...to honor thy sacrifice.
...to satisfy your debt.
...toward what the Romans call Jupiter.
...until the last of your breaths. You are the opposition I speak of, Antipas.
...until they find the man we seek. HEROD: And raise their suspicions?
...walking with the sons of men in gentleness and righteousness.
...who sanctified Israel by chuppah and betrothal.
...who shall shepherd my people, Israel.
...why is it me God has asked?
...will rise from the house of David.
...you are ordered to participate in a census of all people.
...you will have a good and decent man to raise you.
