Gesta
Pilate and the Roman legate Veturius look on worriedly as Jesus is celebrated as the new messiah in Jerusalem, fearing an uprising. Veturius decides to have Jesus arrested as soon as a suitable opportunity presents itself. Judas is delighted by the reception Jesus is receiving, and quickly wants to win over the influential merchants to the cause which would make him the king and the liberator of the Jews.
The people of Jerusalem are suffering under the reign of HEROD, and are hoping to be delivered from the Roman occupiers by the Messiah whose arrival, it is rumored, is to take place very soon. Unlike his nephew JUDAS, who wants to join the zealots (freedom fighters), the 35-year-old widower JOSEPH is not interested in participating in any fighting against the Romans.
Man in the Night
제사장 가문의 아들인 예레미야가 유다 백성들의 간절한 회개심판을 촉구하며, 유다의 멸망 직전에 활동하여 유다와 예루살렘에 나타날 심판(멸망)만을 전했기 때문에 많은 핍박을 당한다. 유다의 멸망 이후에는 이집트로 건너가 지속적으로 유다 백성과 이집트에 대한 심판을 예언하다 순교한다.
