I know, I know. Here try one of these rules and then Christians from all over will come to the northern district tonight and there is no one to tell a story you have. to come i wish i could sakai but there is a meeting here tonight ben is going to tell a story about john the baptist john the who john the baptist was a cousin of jesus and lived in the desert near the jordan river he ate honey and locusts to stay alive insects with a taste of honey that's disgusting you see John was a great prophet and when he left the desert he didn't like what he saw um he started telling people to change their habits so as not to steal and not to cheat if you have two coats give one to someone who does not have any if you have food share it too people everywhere we are talking about this strange man be baptized in the river as a sign that you want to change your customs I baptize you with water but the man who follows me will be older than me I am not worthy After untying the straps of his sandals he will baptize you with holy spirit and with fire and indeed not long after Jesus left his house in Nazareth to join the crowds on the bank of the river John was nervous, he knew he was not worthy to baptize jesus, but jesus smiled at him and john knew that everything was fine, then something wonderful happened, you are my beloved son with you, I am happy after that, jesus traveled to the desert for 40 days and nights, but I will tell you about that another time, Look, that was great, but what about the people in the northern district?

They're not going to have a story tonight unless we do something exactly, what is it? It's a story for the Christians in the northern district and you're going to take it to them, it's a great idea, oh, there's still a problem getting there. to the northern district, the streets are practically paved with guards, there must be some way through, we know a way, captain justin. To the rescue I want to be captain, they will be fine too, right? Sure why when I was a kid we did it all the time stop splashing I already took a bath today and I'm not going to take another oh yeah, that's three fish, seven rocks, one sandal and about 356 pounds of assorted kids.

No, no, this won't do. All the children are floating in the water conduit as an aqueduct inspector. I'm afraid it's my duty to give you all a summons. yes sir, it won't happen again sir, let's get out of here a little old to play the aqueduct arch, you friend, who me, well, uh, we weren't playing, we're junior Petorian water explorers and he's our troop leader, me I am, I mean, me. What do you have behind your back? Hmm, I'll take some of that, no, this kind of brighter spell, so you're one of those Christians who never met one in person, you'll never take me alive, of course, if you want. to take me alive we could do it that way also take him to the imperial palace caesar will want to interrogate him of course he will do it right before he feeds him to the lions and i think they took him to the palace then cyrus and justin went after him oh this is it terrible, we have to figure out some way to get zakaye out of the palace, cooking, that's all, don't just stand there, we have a lot of money to make, Helena, what does baking have to do with it? rescuing sakai remember the emperor's sweet tooth of course, of course, we're going to bake everyone, but what are we begging for?

A banquet for a king, my dear, a banquet for a king live from Caesar's palace, I am Lucius Domitius Ajito Barbus Nero, so I must sing this sad song. Of desperation for the work of a poor Caesar is more than most or sad it sounds like they are being tortured you are Nero it is great please stop you are too kind God to the lions at once Greetings Caesar What do we have here that we found? this christian near the aqueduct caesar he was wearing this a christian you know, i have never understood why you insist on wasting your lives for the sake of a dead jewish carpenter he is not dead and throughout rome thousands like me wait for the day he will return and rome will fall a long wait awaits you centurion what's on the parchment some kind of Caesar story about this Jesus of yours well that should be entertaining read us your little story Christian who knows maybe you'll convert us everything you heard Caesar read you don't want to hear the story alone you want to make fun of her I will not dishonor my lord to entertain Caesar I am your Christian lord read the story I send it to you I prefer to die like you I wish, but first I simply must know why you are dying, centurion, what does it say, it begins with Jesus and his disciples on the Sea of ​​Galilee, Caesar, well, go on, read it, read it that night, Jesus said to his disciples, come, let's cross to the other side but soon a furious storm arose and terrible waves began to break over the bow of the disciples' boat filling it with water master please wake up master please don't care if we drown silence be quiet and at his command the the wind died down until the sea was completely calm why are you afraid you still don't trust me and they looked at each other to each other and they said what kind of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey him well?

What are you all looking at? I had never heard such a ridiculous story in my entire life. It is completely absurd, yes, Caesar, absolutely absurd, without a doubt, in fact, I would have to say, on a scale, from a child, destroy the parchment immediately, yes, Caesar, and as for this wretch, I want him to Throw the lions in tomorrow's games. He will be an example to the entire room of how we treat Christians. I hope Ben arrives soon. We could be here for hours. Oh, I hate the idea of ​​Zakai being a prisoner of that crazy man.

Nero why is he almost angry with Zakai Ben Well, he's not that kind of crazy Marcos What kind of angry is he? Well, he's like that man that Jesus met in Garassa and that, well, you see that one day Jesus and his disciples crossed the Sea of ​​Galilee to a place. called kirasa where a savage lived he slept in a cave and the local villagers were terrified of him shortly after jesus and the disciples arrived the wild man appeared before them what do you want with me jesus son of the highest god i am out of this man evil spirit for Love of God, don't torment me, what's your name, I'm a legion, we're as numerous as the Roman army, and the legion begged Jesus not to fire him, send us someone, the pigs let us in.

When the villagers found out what had happened, they came to see. They themselves were shocked to see the wild man now fully clothed and in their right mind they were scared and begged Jesus to leave the area when Jesus and the others were about to set sail, the man appeared. He begged Jesus to let him go with them, go home to your family and friends, tell them what God has done for you. I like the history of the legion. Ben is that the end, that's the end. We can cross everyone. We did it. We did it.

It's a little early for a victory celebration prepare your costumes everyone the difficult part of our mission is just beginning while I sing my song I make up the lyrics as I go no one is that smart much less my incredible talent will make me a star yes that it's wonderful caesar just wonderful i haven't finished snivellus what wonderful citizens you are deaf i said i haven't finished ankara encore snivellus i'm going to kill you how much waxy build up you have you really should clean your ears more often your voice is a symphonic sensation a minority and caesar i'm ben pierre a famous baker of gol and this is my family we have brought pastry for the emperor pastry you say we are in honor of the 21st birthday of Caesar's uncle's third cousin on his mother's side, twice removed, we have prepared a selection of our best delicacies culinary. third cousin on my mother's side, we and now, if your majesty permits, I will describe the cakes here, we have the fruit filled cakes cyrus, it's ben, look at that suit hey this thing is loose what do you want I guess you're here to torture me well go ahead I'm not afraid of you what is this poison is it water if I wanted to kill you I wouldn't bother with the poison I see your point and these are our famous cream filled cakes delicious and lastly the cream of the cream you should not eat this this cake It's special it's my famous secret poison torture cake one bite and how delicious good I just have to see a demonstration It's a shame you don't have any of those lonely Christians around, they make especially good victims of torture cakes.

You do not say: God, bring me the Christian prisoner immediately. You know you don't have to die. I've seen Nero, sorry. people like you before, yeah right, if they deny Jesus, you don't have to deny anything, you just have to accept that Nero is a god too, then I guess I have to die. Hmm, who is this Jesus that inspires such crazy loyalty and followership to him? I would have liked to have met this man you still can but he is dead Caesar demands to see the prisoner immediately Welcome back Christian I didn't want to send you to the lions with an empty stomach My baker friend here has a cake to die for for Ben, what are you doing here?

Don't worry, everything is under control, just follow my example and now, you miserable Christian, eat this poisonous torture cake so we can all watch you convulse and collapse dead on the floor. No, I won't. Everything is getting dark. I'm so cold, goodbye, you heard his agonizing gasps, wasn't that wonderful? I'll take six dozen of those cakes to the senator's next ball, of course, Caesar, and now, at no additional charge, we'll have the body safely removed from your imperial site. How refreshing to have someone take out the trash without being asked. In fact, did you really think you could outsmart Caesar with the lions?

You're crazy? Oh, I just hope you act so well in the lion's den, look at my statue, my beautiful statue, Ben Over. Hurry up before I change my mind They're running away after this capture of Ben Let's get out of here I should have thought your boys would know better It's no use Zakai was supposed to be here hours ago We better go tell the others, but what are they? Let's tell them that these people are risking their lives to be here tonight. I know, but what can we do? We don't have a story. I guess you're right, wait, look, there they are, Ben, get ready to hand over the scroll, no problem.

I have it here hey oh oh what would I do without you Ben I'm sorry thank you thank you all don't mention it for your faith and courage hundreds of people will hear a new story tonight what story will they hear ben well it's a story about the time when Jesus and his disciples were caught in a terrible storm that afternoon. Jesus said to his disciples, come, let us cross to the other side.
