What'southward Happened So Far
In the concluding episode, a newly demon-free Mary Magdalene was preparing for her first Shabbat in years.
Meanwhile, word had gotten to the Pharisee, Nicodemus, that the woman he tried to exorcise had been completely healed.
He went to see with his own optics just to be told that he had nothing to exercise with it. Mary had been delivered by a mysterious man whose proper name she did not know.
That human (Jesus) later showed up at her Sabbath dinner, joining two of his disciples and two other friends of Mary'due south.
As Mary officiated her Sabbath meal, other Jews in the expanse were doing the same, sitting downward to eat with their families — all except for Matthew, the tax collector, who had been disowned by his family.
Instead, Matthew ate his dinner on the footing, with just a stray dog for company.
And and so episode begins three …
Episode Summary
This is one of the shorter episodes in the flavor, beginning with Jesus praying at night to his Father.
His voice is strained and tearful, and he is plain stressed when he pleads in prayer, as a haunting woman's voice sings in a modest fashion in the groundwork. (This part is not part of what's happening in the story, of course, it'south groundwork music for effect)
And we begin the fish song:
It's forenoon in Capernaum in 26 Advertising, and a trivial girl (Abigail) runs out of her house, yelling behind her: "I'll be past the stream!"
Abigail skips and runs through the grass, then pauses every bit she sees a camp in the middle of the wilderness.
The curious daughter approaches the camp with the yet-smoldering fire and plays with some of the tools that have been left behind.
Abigail too sees some food and considers eating it, but and so refrains. She hears a man humming, and runs to hide behind a pile of rocks.
Jesus appears on screen with a pack. He pauses his humming and looks upward. When Abigail realizes she's been spotted, she gasps and runs away.
Side by side, we see Jesus starting a fire the old-fashioned way (rubbing a stick actually fast and transferring the estrus to a package of harbinger to blow on until it alights)
He also makes himself dinner via bivouac and a makeshift cut board.
Non far abroad, Abigail is eating dinner with her parents. Abigail's mom tells her dad about Joanna, a friend whose husband has been injured and cannot work. Abigail's mom asks her dad to finish by to help, and he reluctantly agrees.
When Mom asks Abigail how her day was, Abigail asks if she tin can play with her friend Joshua past the stream tomorrow. Mom says okay, once chores are done.
Jesus adds wood to his fire, washes his feet, and prepares for bed.
The next day, Abigail and her friend Joshua are marching through the field as Abigail tells him everything she saw and did the day before.
They run across Jesus eating his breakfast. Jesus prays aloud, "Blessed are y'all God…" but after a suspension, in which he notices the presence of the children, he adds a niggling something to his prayer:
Every bit Abigail and Joshua argue about whether to stay or go, Jesus makes funny noises that make the children giggle.
"What'south that sound?" Jesus says. "Sheep don't sound like that…perhaps a rooster?"
Abigail stands upwards and Jesus tells her she was wise to bring a friend this time. He reassures them that he is not a bad man, and invites them to stay for a bit if they like.
Jesus gives Abigail something to eat, and as she stuffs her confront, she starts asking him a litany of questions:
Jesus answers all of Abigail's questions but Joshua still seems uncomfortable and hangs back quietly. Jesus tells the children that he builds things to sell to make his living, such as toys for rich people'south children. Abigail tells him her family unit is non rich, and and then shows him her homemade doll, Sarah.
Food eaten and questions asked, Abigail announces it's time to become home, and scampers off with Joshua as Jesus chuckles.
Subsequently on, Jesus prepares for another dark by campfire and says his bedtime prayers:
The next forenoon Jesus is awakened from his slumber by a small-scale crowd of children peering into his tent:
"Couldn't have waited half an hour, eh?" Jesus says as Abigail introduces him to "her other friends and Joshua again."
"Shalom, Abigail's friends, and Joshua again," Jesus says.
The kids ask if they tin stay, and Jesus invites them to help him. But first, tooth brushing time:
"You seem nice. Are you dangerous?" says a cute picayune girl with a high voice.
"Maybe to some," Jesus says. "Simply no, not to you."
She follows up with: "Do you accept friends?"
"A few, and more to come," Jesus answers.
The kids work on wood projects with Jesus equally they chat. The children ask Jesus various questions until he asks them if they all know the Shema.*
At which the kids start reciting:
Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord lonely. You shall love the Lord your God with all your middle, and with all your soul, and with all your might…
— Deuteronomy 6:4+
As he listens, Jesus mouths the words forth and appears to get a little emotional…
"Beautiful, very good." He tells them. And the kids' questions begin again.
Jesus tells them he has a bigger chore than but his trade. He tells the children to love each other, to share God'due south word, honor their parents, and love God.
Equally the kids walk abode, they talk over amongst themselves who the strange man in the camp might be:
Abigail ends the conversation by making the other kids agree not to tell anyone nigh him.
So in that location is a montage over several days of Jesus walking along and chatting with the children, telling them stories around a campfire, and teaching them the Lord's Prayer and another Bible verse song, as a bass plays in the background with some other twangy stringed instruments and women vocalizing.
This is the Lord's Prayer:
Our Male parent which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy proper noun.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in globe, as it is in heaven.
Give the states this 24-hour interval our daily bread.
And forgive united states of america our debts, equally we forgive our debtors.
And atomic number 82 u.s. not into temptation, only deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the ability, and the glory, for always. Amen.
— Matthew six:ix–13
And the song Jesus sings with the kids is based on this poesy:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
— Psalm 133:i
The kids tell Jesus that their Rabbi Josiah taught them the Messiah would exist a neat armed services leader. But Jesus says, "many times, smart men lack wisdom," pointing out that the Scriptures don't actually say the Messiah volition exist a "great military machine leader."*
He reminds them that though justice is adept, the Bible says:
It is mine to avenge; I will repay.
— Deuteronomy 32:35
So, let God take care of justice.
The kids enquire where Jesus was the day before, and he refers to "a woman who has much pain in her life." She was in trouble, so Jesus helped her.
"Is she your friend?" asks a piffling boy.
"She is now," Jesus says, and tells them that he'south planning to invite others to get traveling with him.
The kids ask him why he is here, and he tells them to agree on to their childlike religion and one twenty-four hour period they will sympathise. Then he recites Isaiah, which the kids recognize:
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord'southward favor…
— Isaiah 61:1–2
Jesus expresses his wish that his next students volition be like this crowd of children — asking questions and telling others about Him.
The kids walk home in silence, and Jesus spends the night working on forest projects.
The next morning, Abigail runs to Jesus' camp but to see that he has gone. She sees a wooden house with miniature horses and a ladder, plus a note Jesus has left for her:
"Abigail, I know you tin can read. You lot are very special. This is for yous. I did not come only for the wealthy."
And Abigail begins to play with the present Jesus left her.
