Superbook (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Miracles of Jesus - full transcript
When Chris begins to believe that a mysterious street magician (Miraculo The Miracle Maker) possesses real powers, Superbook whisks the kids off to historical Galilee where Jesus is performing true miracles like healing a cripple, calming a storm on the sea and banishing demons from a possessed man. During the course of their miraculous adventure, Chris comes to understand the power to perform miracles comes only from God. When he returns home, he looks a little closer and discovers the very clever, but very human machinations Miraculo has used to trick his public.
Coming through!
Robot on a mission!
Whoa... woo-hoo-hoo. Waaaa.
Bootsters Blast!
Whoooa-ho!
Gotta go! I'm on a roll!
Chris! Chris, that street
magician you had me
monitoring online is making a
personal appearance today.
Right down the street!
A magician, Chris? Wow.
Does he do birthday parties?
Oh-ho!
That's... you... you know, Joy,
you won't be talking like that
when you see what this guy can
do. Come on, Giz!
Oh, my gosh!
That looks so cool!
Trust me, Joy.
This guy does miracles!
Welcome, believers
and non-believers alike.
Now, you know the rules.
Laugh. Applaud.
Be astounded all you
like. But please -
Whoa!
Ha! turn off your
cell phones and other devices!
Hmm... Pretty good trick!
Now, can I offer
anyone a front row seat?
Oh no! Apparently, I'm too late!
Well, I'm afraid that's all the
miracles I have in me for today.
Oh, my gosh.
That's so cool. Look at that!
Wow!
Oh, wait!
I almost forgot!
My phone! How did he...
What did I tell you? Miracles!

C'mon, Chris! Everything
Miraculo did can be explained.
It's just tricks.
No way, Joy. Gizmo and I have
seen plenty of magic acts.
And, no one could fake
what he just did.
Not out in the open like that.
Chris is correct. And
I should know.
Doing parlor tricks is one
of my favorite hobbies!
SUPERBOOK!
Uh-oh....I must learn a trick to
stop these triiiiips!
I am taking you to
see a true miracle worker.
Wow! What's
going on here?
My sensors indicate we
are in the town of Capernaum
in the early part of
the first century.
Come on. Let's check it out.
What's going on?
It's Jesus of Nazareth.
Some say he's a miracle worker.
Hi. We're, uh,
new in town.
What's everyone so
excited about?
Jesus of Nazareth
is in that house.
Some think he is a prophet.
Others say he can do miracles!
Miracles, huh? Sounds
right up your alley, Chris.
He's coming. Make way.
Let him through.
You! Where are you
going with that man?
We are taking him to Jesus
who can perform miracles!
I gotta see this!
Come on! This way!
Which one is Jesus?
Please move aside.
We're coming through.
Coming through.
Please move aside.
Be encouraged, my child.
Your sins are forgiven you.
What is the meaning of this?
Is it easier for me to tell
this paralyzed man
that his sins are forgiven, or
to tell him to get up and walk?
But that you may know
that the Son of Man has power
on earth to forgive sins...
I say to you arise,
take up your bed,
and go to your house!
See, Joy! People CAN do
miracles. Come on!
I have been healed by
Jesus of Nazareth!!
He obviously works for this
Jesus of Nazareth.
It's mere trickery, like
a court magician
building his reputation.
I am not certain that's...
It is exactly how he did it.
And you were fooled.
That man was never
paralyzed to begin with!
No. He has always
been like that!
What is it to you, anyway?
It is... shall we say...
personal.
This all just goes
to prove my point, Joy.
If Jesus can perform miracles,
then Miraculo can too.
No. There's something else.
Miraculo's just a magician!
And Jesus is...?
Something, I dunno... more.
And I say we follow Him to find
out what that 'something' is!
Your powers may come from
Heaven, but Earth is my domain!
Wow! You were right.
The crowds following Jesus just
keep getting bigger and bigger!
A farmer went out
to plant his seed.
As he scattered
it across the field,
some seed fell on a footpath,
where it was stepped on,
and the birds ate it. Other
seed fell among rocks.
It began to grow, but the
plant soon wilted
and died for lack of moisture.
Other seed fell among thorns
that grew up with it
and choked out the
tender plants.
Still other seed fell on fertile
soil. This seed grew
and produced a crop that
was a hundred times
as much as had been planted!
Anyone with ears to hear
should listen and understand.
I'm listening.
I just don't get it!
Rabbi, the children would
like to speak with you.
Come. There is room by the
fire. Sit with us.
Great campfire. Did anyone
bring marshmallows?
What are marshmallows?
Uh... never mind.
Jesus? You know all that
stuff you said today...
I don't know... maybe you should
have done... like...
another miracle!
That's the kind of thing
that'll really get the
crowds following you.
Miracles are only signs, Chris.
Here, let me get you something
to eat. You must be hungry.
Then we'll speak.
What does he mean, Peter?
Miracles are a sign
that Jesus has power
over the seen and the unseen.
What's the "unseen?"
We're all sailing to the
region of the Gadarenes!
C'mon, Chris!
Woo-hoo! Surf's up!
This is your captain speaking.
Remember, stay seated
at all times,
keep your hands
inside the vessel
and in the event of
an emergency,
please use your
flotation devices!
No duckies!
Fine.
What bad luck.
There's a storm brewing.
But then, that's the way
of the world, isn't it?
You never know when the tide
will turn against you.
That storm is coming fast.
Danger, Chris Quantum!
Danger!
We're losing control
of the boat on these swells.
Nothing I like better than
a little panic and mayhem.
Shows human beings how doomed
their precious little
world has become.
Whoa-oa!
Master, Master,
we are about to drown!
Why are you fearful,
O you of little faith?
I REBUKE YOU!
Nooooo!
Peace, be still.
Whoa... Did Jesus just
stop that storm?
Awesome!
Miraculous is more like it.
I cannot believe even Miraculo
could do something
THAT powerful.
You know, Giz... I'm starting
to think the same thing.
Peter? Can I ask you a question?
That was... I don't
know... really unbelievable!
You do not trust your own eyes?
No, I saw what I saw.
I can't explain it,
but I saw it.
Same way I guess I'm
still having trouble
understanding what Jesus says.
I know how you feel.
I am a simple fisherman and when
I first began following Jesus...
Chris, look here.
See the anchor's rope
as it goes into the water?
Yeah.
It appears to be bending in
that direction, does it not?
Sure.
But it's really
over here instead.
The rope seemed to be bent,
but it wasn't.
It is a trick caused
by the light and the water.
As a fisherman, I would see this
kind of deception every day
and know it for what it
is... an illusion.
So, when our eyes
tell us one thing,
the truth may really be
something else?
The hard part is learning how
to recognize what's real
and what's not.
What Jesus does...
What He is...
That is all very real.
Because his words and
miracles come from God.
Hey guys, what's that up there?
Tombs, where they bury the dead.
Do you think there are
g-g-ggggghosts?
Bwaaaa!
There are no such thing
as ghosts, Gizmo.
Then what's m-making
that n-noise?
Rabbi, we must find a way
around those swine.
Such creatures are
unclean and dangerous.
No. There is
something else.
Beware, O Son of God,
for in this place, the
sinful hear my voice.
On your way!
Yipe!
What's wrong with that man?
Why are you interfering with me,
Jesus, Son of the Most High God?
Please, I beg you,
do not torture me!
Come out of the man, you evil
spirit. What is your name?
My name is Legion,
because there
are many of us inside this man.
Do not send us far away.
Send us into those pigs.
Let us enter them.
Go.
Quick! Out of the way!
Doh!
They're running for
the cliffs! Stop! Nooo!
Let me follow you, Lord.
No, go home to your family,
and tell them everything the
Lord has done for you
and how merciful he has been.
Jesus, we are far
from through, you and I.
Far from through!
Whoa....That was amazing,
Jesus just...
I mean, do you guys
realize what we've seen!
Jesus has power over man,
over nature,
and even over things
that are... unseen.
Chris, go tell others what
you have seen and heard.
I will always be with you.
What did Jesus say to you?
You know, I think
it's the first thing I really,
really understand.
Hey, we're on our way
home! Whoo-hoo-hooo!!
Here we go-ho-hooooo!
Come on! I gotta
check something out!
See the anchor's rope
as it goes into the water?
It appears to be bending
in that direction.
The rope seemed to be bent,
but it wasn't.
It is a trick caused by the
light and the water.
What is that, Chris?
Well, what do you know!
Whoa!
How are you doing that?!
Ah! You can levitate?
It is a miracle!
No, it isn't. Gizmo, I need a
metal detector scan
with a cross vibrational
thermal overlay!
Chris, you are
standing on a wire!
You were right, Joy.
It was just a trick.
A good trick - but
definitely no miracle.
Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
Hands off my stuff.
Wait a sec. Weren't you
here earlier?
Yes, we were.
So, did you come back to
see another miracle?
Look, no offense, but
what you do... are no miracles.
Hmph... What
makes you so sure?
Because we've seen
the REAL thing.
Oh yeah? So who's
my competition?
Who's better than me?
God's the only true
miracle worker.
