Description: In Capernaum, AD 26, Mary Magdalene (Elizabeth Tabish), going by the name "Lilith," wrestles with demonic possession. While the Pharisee Nicodemus (Erick Avari) is touring the region, Praetor Quintus Benedictus Dio (Brandon Potter) approaches him, demanding help collecting unpaid taxes. The tax collector Matthew (Paras Patel) deals with the turmoil of being considered a traitor by his fellow Jews. The fishermen Simon (Shahar Isaac) and his brother Andrew (Noah James) struggle with their tax debts to Rome. At a centurion's behest, Nicodemus goes to the Red Quarter to perform an exorcism on "Lilith" but fails, leaving him shaken. On tax day, Andrew cannot pay, but Simon tells Matthew that he has an arrangement with Praetor Quintus; the arrangement is to inform Praetor Quintus about his fellow Jews fishing on Shabbat, but Andrew disapproves, considering it a betrayal. Mary Magdalene loses hope for her condition until she encounters Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), who calls her by her name, healing and restoring her.
