V ňom žije aj Danny Balint (Ryan Gosling), ktorého odpor k zdanlivej pasivite vlastnej židovskej komunity zaviedol až do radov skinheadského nacistického gangu.

Ježišovi sa sníva sen o stredovekej bitke, v ktorej vojaci vykrikujú jeho meno. Ježiš sa prebudí a nechápe, čo mal ten sen znamenať. Veď on je len obyčajný tesár - tak ako jeho otec. Spolu si hľadajú prácu. Časy sú ťažké. Aj Jozef sa celý znepokojený sám seba pýta, kedy už bude koniec utrpenia jeho národa. Je netrpezlivý: Kedy už začne Ježiš konať? Odkedy sa narodil, nezjavilo sa už žiadne znamenie. Lenže Jozefova náhla smrť zmení Ježišov život. Vie, že sa musí vydať na cestu - tvrdí, že svoj život nežije len sám pre seba. Stáva sa vyvoleným, stáva sa mesiášom, stáva sa tým, ktorý dokáže zmeniť vodu na víno.
