Plot

Tiberius sends Titus Valerius Taurus to Judea to investigate Jesus, whose followers say he has risen. However, he is stopped by Pontius Pilate, who has sentenced Jesus to death. Claudia Procula, Pilate's wife, helps Taurus because she liked Jesus's teachings. She shows Taurus where Jesus's body was buried. A few more questions are asked, and Pilate makes up a story about finding the body to end the investigation. Taurus knows it is not Jesus's body. After many ups and downs, he meets Mary of Magdala, who cares for lepers outside Jerusalem. He goes to her community to keep a promise and learns about Jesus' disciples serving the suffering. Valerio Tauro is killed in the desert by Pilate's vengeance.
