The Chosen 2.5 - Jesus calls Simon the Zealot

Why Jesse? Why my brother out of everyone? The man suffered unspeakably for 38 years. It's a long time. And how else could I get your attention? My attention? Your order trained you to be fearless, no? No lord but God, to the death. What I did with your brother, it's not the last of the trouble I intend to cause. You are Messiah, aren't you? Yes. I will do anything you ask. I ask you to understand the nature of my mission, Simon. Yes. How indeed? It's not so easy with distracted humans, hm? I have trained for years for this. I am ready to execute your mission today. We'll see. Show me your weapon. Impressive. But there's something. Didn't see that coming. You have no use for that? I have a better sword. You'll see. We have much to discuss. Just be patient. You've been quite awake. Without my secret dagger, why do you need someone like me? I have everything I need. But I wanted you. Why? You're not alone in misunderstanding. But not to worry. I'm preparing something to share with the world. For now, wanting you by my side will have to be enough. No one buys their way into our group because of special skills, Simon. Rabbi. Yes, Simon. After what you did at the pool, during a high holy feast day, there may be some who might try to stop you. Even some from my former order, especially if they find out you have a different mission. And what are you going to do? Stop them? Well, I would be more likely to if you hadn't thrown my secret dagger in the river. Well, if that day comes, I guess we'll find out.
