Senator Marcus blames all the Empire’s problems on the Friends of Jesus and will go to any length to keep them oppressed! Macky and the Masked Rebel are very busy trying to keep the damage Marcus does to a minimum.

In Episode 35, Spies and Lies, Macky wants Senator Antonius to speak out against Marcus in the Senate but Antonius isn’t sure that’s the right thing to do. So, Antonius tells Macky the story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem to remind Macky how important doing the right thing is. Macky tells the story of Jesus and the Moneylenders – also about doing the right thing. Felix and Sophia encourage Macky and Portia when Antonius is wrongly arrested by telling the story of Jesus healing a Paralysed Man.

Toadie informs on Marcus in Episode 36, Conflict, and tells Antonius that Marcus is going to rob Rome’s treasury. Antonius tells Macky the story of The Parable of the Tenants in the Vineyard to remind him that things can be seen differently. Toadie wants a reward for his information but when Macky tells him the story of Jesus and the Widow’s Offering and how, quietly, she gave all she had, Toadie doesn’t understand – all he thinks about is money! Later, when Macky and the Masked Rebel confront Marcus inside the treasury, Antonius tells Macky the story of Jesus and the Roman Tax.
