. >> it goes back to the beginnings of the church when the apostles were doing their work in jerusalem, they realized that there was more work than they could address. and they needed to spread the word. but they needed to deal with the poor. so they selected the beginnings, the seven deacons, steen being the most prominent to serve the needy, the poor, the orphanages and the widows. >> and steven the deacon met with an early death? >> yes. >> he was stoned. >> yes. >> so it was saul watching on the sidelines. there were the apostles and the deacons and then there were priests. >> eventually. >> but that did not happen till a little later. >> there were not enough apostles that evolve in the bishops to do the service as the church expands and the priest developed. >> the deacons were around for a thousand years mainly to help the poor to do the social service and justice work that the apostles didn't have time for themselves and then what happened in a thousand years? >> during that thousand years, there was an evolution and because deacons were appointed by the bishop to help with thi

someone who preached to the apostles.oman, was a leader in the community. >> but that's not how mary magdalene started out. in the gospels, jesus cures her of possession by seven demons. >> and, of course, the number seven has a symbolic sort of resonance in early judaism. it means a complete set. so it means she was as bad off as she possibly could be. she was as possessed as one could imagine a person to be possessed. she had a full set of demons. >> this introduction of a demonic mary magdalene has also overshadowed what is later mentioned in the gospel of luke, that she was a woman of resources, very likely helping to bankroll the ministry of this itinerant rabbi. >> jesus is supported by women. women pay his bills. mary magdalene supports him in terms of deep and abiding friendship and fidelity. >> the source of her income was probably the fishing business, which in first century galilee, historians tell us, was profitable and tough, just as it is today. >> if she grew up in a fishing village, i'm putting my money on

mark was a companion of the apostle peter and luke was a companion of the apostle paul. >> but did theyels? >> we can never be sure. what good happens, it's easy to imagine in days such as that, peter was relaying to some young pupil the stories he remembered before it was too late, and mark is putting them into an order in which this story will offer some consolation to a church that is facing terrible destruction. >> mark is the earliest gospel, scholars say, written around 65 a.d. matthew and luke were written some 15 to 20 years later, and finally, the gospel of john was written about 90 or 95 a.d. while each of the four gospels recount the death and resurrection of jesus, they are strikingly different. >> the question of where they got their information is very interesting. what most scholars today think is that, after the days of jesus his followers told stories about him, about what he did during his ministry. and these stories were circulating year after year, decade after decade, until later authors, who were not the illiterate aramaic followers of jesus in galilee and jerusale

the book says when leonardo painted his last supp sit to go the right of jesus is not john the apostlee historians believed for centuries rather than sitting to the right of jesus is mary magdelene. then there is no cup on the table there is no shallot. darbepoetin chal lis. >> there are major clues that mary magdelene was not only the apostle but the head of the church. >> i happen to see john through leonardo's eyes not mary's in that painting. for example look at his painting of john the baptist. you see the painting of john the baptist has a face you would think is a woman's face. the body which is partly naked is clearly a man's body. it seems to me that's the kind of men leonardo liked. >> dan brown also bases his carnal theory about jesus and mary magdelene in what was ancient texts known as the gnostic gospel. >> i was told as we all were they couldn't be the real gospels they had to be bad go gospels bafake gospels. in one of the books the gospel of phillip is in the heart of the controversy. >> the gospel of phillip had the following order. the companion was mary hagged lynn.

these are the words of the apostle paul as he writes to the church at rome.in response to this? if god is for us, who can be against us? he who did not spare his own son, but gave up for all of us. embraces us and give us all things. whom will bring charges against those whom god has chosen? it is god who justifies, who is he who condemns. christ jesus who died and after that raised to life is at the right-hand of god and interceding for us. who shall separate us from the love of christ, shall trouble or hardship or purpersecution o nakedness, and as written, your faith all day long we're considered to be sleep to be slaughtered. no, in all of these things we're more than congress for those who loved us for i am convinced that neither death nor life. angels nor demons, the present nor the future or height or death anything else, in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of god that is in christ jesus our lord. [applaus [applause]. so we stand now in prayer for ourselves. our hearts are broken, but our spirits are strengthened by the power of g

now, this james is not the james who's in the list of the apostles. this james is the brother of the lord. >> it's somewhat surprising that we should hear of jesus' own family members among this earliest group in jerusalem precisely because, in the gospels, the family is... is usually portrayed as being antagonistic toward his public ministry. at one point, in mark's gospel, they think he's gone crazy, and they try to take him away before he can do himself some harm. and they go down to ask the question of how do we deal with these gentile converts? and they manage to get some sort of rough agreement with the jerusalem leadership. they agree that it's okay for paul to convert these gentiles and yet not to force them to be circumcised. >> narrator: as part of the compromise, paul agreed to collect money from his gentile congregations to support the church in jerusalem. >> so when paul goes back to antioch, he seems to think that he's won a major victory in the understanding of what the christian message will be. shortly after his return to antioch, how

the apostle paul, his opponents in galatia, who say,wait a minute. if you're really going to be a real christian, first you have to be a real jew, and that means you have to be circumcised, and you have to keep certain regulations out of the tor." so paul has not got it right. paul has to say, "no, you don't understand how radically new this thing is which god is doing here." >> narrator: paul preached the imminent arrival of god's kingdom on earth, and salvation for those converted to jesus. >> ( dramatized ): you know what time it is-- how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers. >> it's clear that one of the concerns that keeps showing up throughout this period of paul's ministry is, "when is this kingdom going to arrive? what's going to happen? how soon?" >> they are still, 25 years after the fact, anticipating the imminent return of christ, and the imminent arrival of the kingdom. and it's this kind of, you know, "don't slow me down with the facts" impatience and energy that we

. >> narrator: tradition claims that the author of "luke" was a traveling companion of the apostle paulnd probably lived in one of the cities where paul founded a christian community. luke wrote a story about jesus, but he also wrote the book of acts, the story of the growth of the early church and its spread throughout the empire. >> ( dramatized ): it's very important to remember that the gospel of luke is only one-half of a major work. and we make a mistake by reading the gospel of luke just as the story of jesus. what luke wrote was a story that began with john the baptist and ends with the arrival of paul in rome. >> so the author of luke/acts-- and that's what we call them now, that's a two-volume work-- is telling us a bigger story, a grander story. >> in fact, it's such a good story that many scholars have compared it to the novelistic literature of the time, and have interpreted luke/acts as, really, a christian... early- christian romance, with all the ingredients of romance, down to shipwrecks and exotic animals and exotic vegetation, cannibalistic natives-- all kinds of embe

>> the superintendent's last name is apostle.ame is alex apostle. >> well, there you go. >> he can't be unbiased. >> absolutely not. >> diana i will go to you before we leave because i don't agree with you. i don't think the school should sing songs like good christian men rejoice and stuff like that. i think that is wrong. >> i understand that. i kind of thing you have to pick one or the other. either you don't have any or you have them all. the fact you have them all is fine. >> why not have all of the songs that are about the christmas season. frosty the snowman and rudolph and santa clause is coming to town. >> they could do that. i just don't see a problem with that including the religious songs if they include the religions too. i wouldn't start a boycott if they only did the secular ones as well. i don't see a problem with it either way as long as they are being inclusive. >> why don't they just sing british drinking songs and can sell christmas, period. don't you listen to o'reilly? >> person of the year? more like partic

. >> ( dramatized ): jesus said to his apostles, "give them something to eat." they replied, "we have nothing here but five loaves and two fish." and he said, "bring them here to me." >> the feeding of the multitudes is one of the few stories that's told in all four gospels. that's a story near and dear to many people's hearts. jesus goes into the gallilean hillside. he takes about 5,000 people with him. and it's there that they have a picnic, even though there are no provisions made for that. he multiplies five loaves and two fishes to feed this multitude of people. well, i... i don't think it takes rocket science to figure out why that kind of story is so endearing to poor people. i mean, that's... that's... that's dinner and a show. >> narrator: behind the simple rustic imagery was the message of the coming kingdom of god, an enigma jesus did not attempt to simplify. >> jesus tells a parable about somebody who takes a mustard seed, plants it in the ground, and it grows up to be a great tree, or a bush at least-- a weed, though, in plain language. now, imagine

thomas the apostle who came and preached in india and in the very city that i come from. that is where we have a big cathedral for him. that is the place where tradition holds that he was martyred. he preached in that area. >> there aren't many catholics in india proportionately, correct? how many total? >> catholics would be about 1.75% of the total population which would be about 25 million people. >> okay. that would be total catholics. i see. so that's a relatively small group in this country really dominated by hinduism. >> and muslims. there is about 15% of the population muslim. >> didn't all the muslims after the english left go to pakistan? >> they did, some of them. when the partition took place in 1947, some of the muslims from india moved to pakistan. some of the hindus who were living in those areas moved back to india which caused a lot of blood shed. >> so there is still a lot of blood shed and still problems there. we're going to talk more about india. of course we also want to really single out gandy which we'll do after this break. >> welcome back to mos
