:31:03
l used to wonder at that myself,
:31:06
until faith taught me the answer.
:31:09
He could have healed my body, and it would
have been natural for me to laugh and sing.
:31:14
And then l came to understand that
he had done something even better for me.
:31:19
He'd chosen me for his work.
:31:22
He'd left me as l am so that all others like me
:31:26
might know that misfortune needn't deprive
them of happiness within his kingdom.
:31:33
lt's beyond reason that
anybody should think as you do.
:31:36
lf you had only known him,
looked into his eyes, heard him speak...
:31:41
- l did.
- l don't understand.
:31:43
Please. lt's enough.
:31:48
You're in no danger from me.
:31:51
l'm leaving. Now.
:31:53
- We hoped you'd stay.
- Do you want to die?
:31:55
- Of course not.
- Then let me go.
:31:58
No one's holding you, Marcellus.
:32:04
But a man came here this morning
l wanted you to meet, the big fisherman.
:32:11
- Fisherman?
- Simon the Galilean.
:32:14
The one Jesus called Peter.
:32:18
Did he come alone?
:32:20
No, he has a companion, a Greek.
:32:24
Where are they?
:32:26
At Shalum's inn. lt's not far from here.
:32:32
Marcellus?
:32:35
l don't know what's in your heart.
l've tried to tell you what's in mine.
:32:39
But it's clear that you're troubled,
and l wish l could help you.
:32:43
Every man must find his own way,
but sometimes it's a comfort
:32:46
to know that others, too,
have felt confused and lost.
:32:50
Don't lose heart, Marcellus.
:32:53
The way is never easy,
but it's a path good men must take.
:32:58
l hope you'll find yours.
