tend to remember herod as the herod of the nativity scene, as the evil herod from the new testament.om christmas plays in schools. we know it from how it's retold in church, so the herod that we know is very much the product of the christian story and the christian imagination, rather than the totality of who he was. >> but to understand the man behind the legend, we need to look at the writings of jewish historian josephus. >> josephus is a priest of, supposedly, hasmonean stock. he also writes several histories, both of the jewish people but also of the great jewish war. within those histories of the jewish people, herod receives prominent attention. >> josephus fills in all sorts of fascinating details about herod and tells us the details of his family, of his political successes, his political disasters and so on. >> josephus describes in detail herod's journey from courtier to king. >> herod first comes to our attention as a young courtier in his father's administration, and herod originally is appointed a local governor in galilee. >> but in 40 bc, there is an uprising in jerus

in jerusalem, the more john the baptist denounces herod, the more he risks enflaming herod's anger withll the danger that could follow. >> you can talk about repentance and judgment day and maybe not get into much trouble, but you start to attach herod antipas personally, and he's going to attack you personally. >> what's wrong? >> i see herod antipas as a really divided soul. he was really kind of caught between his ambition, his desire to rule and his desire for his wife. by marrying his wife, he had transgressed jewish law and that put him in a difficult situation as he sought to control his power. >> a man insults your wife, and you let him get away with it? >> herodias was a formidable character. >> you're not a man. you're a coward! >> she acts on her own desires, her own lusts and breaks laws by doing so. >> arrest him! >> humiliated by john, herod antipas is forced to put a stop to his verbal assaults. he arrests him as a threat to state security, and even then, john will not be silenced. >> judgment is coming. judgment is coming, herod! you are the criminal, not me! if your gla

but we also have joanna, the wife of herod and susanna and many others.are a lot of women supporting jesus. which means that they're also following him. there's a name for people that follow jesus and that name is disciple. in any situation where someone's holding the purse strings, they have power. they're in control. so the fact that she's a backer of the jesus movement, it doesn't mean that she gets to shape jesus' teaching, but it gives her access to jesus. >> mary follows jesus during the many months that he preaches in galilee, but what happened during that time? an astonishing discovery made in egypt in 1945 points to one shocking answer. >> this is ground zero for those conspiracy theories that there was some sort of relationship between jesus and mary magdalene. >> could be it be that mary and jesus were married? tremfya® helps adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis uncover clearer skin that can last. in fact, tremfya® was proven superior to humira® in providing significantly clearer skin. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections an

palace. >> and if this was king herod's palace, it also is likely the spot where pontius pilate held sentenced here in jerusalem in the praetorium, meaning the residence of the roman government. >> herod's long lost palace, the most lavish in the city, is the obvious spot for pilate's headquarters. >> it's enormous. it's royal. this is the place where pontius pilatus should sit in jerusalem, only here. >> the possible discovery of herod's palace is incredibly exciting. it reminds us, once again, that this is a real-life story that happened in a real place and in a real time. >> the most famous trial in history is about to begin. >> romans were very clear about reserving capital punishment into their own hands, so the jewish authorities in jerusalem had no authority to execute anybody. >> so if jesus is to be crucified, then the only person who can authorize that is the roman prefect, pontius pilate. >> after disrupting the temple, jesus is a marked man. >> he goes, and he has the last supper with his disciples and goes then to the garden of gethsemane, that's the place where he's arr

a certain man named judas led a rebellion against both rome and the sons of herod the great.y entering into the city of sepphoris, breaking into the armory, stealing all the weapons and arming his men. >> judas the galilean was a famous rebel against rome who insisted that the empire had no proper right to be ruling israel. >> we know about judas' revolt from josephus, who writes about it in his historical documents. >> here was a native jew who could be king over judea, a new messiah that many jews wanted to support. >> today, we cannot imagine someone going up against a force such as the roman empire in that way. but in judas' time, the romans have not been in israel very long relatively speaking. >> for a while, it may have looked like the rebellion would have been successful, but then the romans sent 15,000 troops down from syria into sepphoris to flatten the city and squash the rebellion. >> i think it would be terrifying to face the roman army. you would know that they were there to utterly destroy you. >> judas was hopelessly outclassed, in military terms, by the roman

the holy family famously became migrants, fleeing from king herod to the relative safety of egypt.pope francis once again repeated his concern for the plight of those forced to leave their homes. translation: it is an injustice that makes them cross deserts and seas that become cemeteries. it is an injustice that forces them to endure unspeakable forms of abuse, enslavement and every kind of torture at inhumane detention camps. # 0 come all ye faithful... in his sermon this morning at canterbury cathedral, the archbishop of canterbury — who was recently in the war—torn democratic republic of congo — drew a link between the suffering there and the recent terror attack in london. darkness is a monster that lies. its growling claims seem to call out with a louder volume than the love—filled whispers of light. we see the shadows out of the corner of our eyes — they may be violence, as in the congo or on london bridge. and there is one more christmas message, from british grime artist stormzy, reciting a passage from st luke's gospel. for you was born on this day in the city of david, t

this deal itself what is it about is it about hydrocarbons or is it about geopolitical strength of herod there from libya is quite keen to get the focus on helping with this conflict that they are in and if you look at the nuts and bolts of this deal it seems to defy geography here lines going diagonally encompassing suites of water that belong to crete so if it's turkey is serious about getting this deal done or are there other issues at play. turkey is very serious and i think what is being perceived by turkey on its southern front is an attempt to box the country and so this deal really has i would argue and i guess central value for the country in fact we have seen elements in the turkish military including the chief of the turkish navy currently they have been advocating for such a deal for about 10 years so this is not new and this is not a temporary tactical shift but a natural extension of that intention which has been the case for quite a while and of course there are other considerations domestically we cannot disregard the fact that the president and on is rallying its support

paige williams and olivia herod are both 17. >> i think it's so cool to see how van gogh kind of tookpiration and techniques from other artists and incoorated that. and then he transformed it into his own work, but he still put his own van gogh twist. >> and he focused more on the emotion thin it, while this other person didn't. so you can tell the dierence in artists. >> brown: i'm curious about how often do you get to see a van gogh or van gogh exhibition? >> never ever. >> brown: never? >> no. as famous as he is, i just really any other m famous seen paintings in person. >> i just feel so fortunate, able to see these famous works, and i'm able to not see them through a computer screen.♪ ♪ >> brown: pulling in both art lovers and people who aren't regular museum visitors was very much the idea for curator will south, who says this exhibition carries a largermbition. >> there's this idea wn you're in a moderately big town, reall a small big toat we are just so far from the pis', the new yorks of this world. and in a sense we are, but that doesn't mean we aren't a capable town, an agg

so, there was one that said, "herod the great, noted for his special interest in small children, dies at 77." [laughter] do you guys know the author, brad thor, the novelist? he put up this one. "john wilkes booth, renowned thespian, theater goer, and passionate supporter of states rights, dies at 26." and there was this. "adolf hitler, vegetarian, landscape painter, and german statesman, dies at 56." now, i think we have too many have their references in our politics. we should avoid them. but i have to admit, that one made me laugh. i want to start with a couple of lines about the press. let me read this to you. the american press is, to a fearful extent, in the hands of a cowardly principled class of men, who have no regard for truth in dealing with what is unpopular, who cater to the low with the passions of the multitude and caricature every movement, aiming at the overthrow of established wrong, who are as destitute of fairness and controversy as they are lacking in self-respect, and columns are close against any replies that may be proffered to their libelous accusations. that

understand that in christmas season it is a good time to talk about it because you juxtapose jesus with herod cesar who is about lying and oppression. secondly, we have to remember the great traditions we have forgotten. when evangelicals supported abolition of slavery, civil rights and the new deal and the peace movement, those movements are part of american life as well. thirdly, i would differ some with your guests. we are finding in the poor people's campaign a national call for revival, thousands of peopl people now. we are calling for a moral march on january 20th to washington, because thousands are coming together across race to say there are five issues we ought to be addressing religiously. systemic racism, systemic poverty, 140 million people living in poverty and low wealth, the war on economy, and we must challenge the false moral narrative of nationalism that is masquerading as evangelicalism and it is not true evangelicalism from a biblical base. we have to be movements and we have to remember especially in the season we are in now that it is happening all over the country. tho
