l haven't seen him, not myself.
But he is known, in this village.

:15:05
- Cana, it's called. You'll find him soon.
- ''Soon.'' With you it's always ''soon''.

:15:09
We've been to three provinces and
a hundred villages. Has he been seen?

:15:12
These villagers are suspicious.
:15:15
ln this land of Galilee, the crucified one
has many friends, very many.

:15:18
Names for your list, Tribune -
merchant, l mean.

:15:21
And coins for me too, no?
A coin for every name.

:15:24
- The Greek. What about the Greek?
- He has been here.

:15:26
He is somewhere in Galilee now,
with one they call the big fisherman.

:15:31
- Fisherman?
- That's all l know. You'll find out the rest.

:15:34
The emperor's spy is cleverer
than a poor Syrian guide.

:15:37
l'll prepare the way for you. A Roman
merchant comes to trade for their homespun.

:15:41
Your gold will buy their answers.
:15:43
And their lives.
:15:57
Got any woollens? He'll buy them.
:16:00
He wants all the homespun in Galilee.
:16:02
- Who is he?
- The Roman merchant.

:16:05
He's paying well over market prices.
:16:07
Says homespun is coming into style in
Rome. The fine ladies dye it fancy colours.

:16:13
Maybe he'll buy this.
:16:17
Look what he paid me,
and there was a moth hole in it.

:16:20
l wouldn't have used that rag of mine
for a donkey blanket.

:16:35
Look.
:16:43
Wait.
:16:45
You've paid more than you should have.
:16:48
ls this how we were taught?
:16:50
Do we pray to be washed of the sin of greed
:16:54
only to close the book,
and cheat the stranger in our midst?

:16:58
Well, l'm not ashamed, Justus. This money
comes from the taxes that grind us down.
