Be My Witness takes place in ancient Israel during the period of Jesus Christ's life and teaching. The Jews of Israel are fermenting an uprising against the Roman rule. The rebellious leaders of the Jews think Jesus was the Anointed One, the Messiah who would lead his people from under the thumb of Governor Pilate, relieve them of the burdensome taxation and the Roman Legions' harsh, unforgiving rule, and restore the Throne of David, bringing freedom and peace to all Judea. A young, crippled beggar witnesses the events leading up to the indictment and betrayal of Jesus Christ. Befriended by a wealthy Jew, Joseph of Arimathea trains him as a scribe to aid in his empire-wide business. Thomas the Cripple becomes Reuben ben Ezra and finds himself in a position to know Jesus, then becomes fearful for the Anointed One's life when Jesus refuses the leadership of the uprising to pursue spreading the message of peace and everlasting life promised by His Father, the One God. Could this lowly cripple and his benefactor possibly save Jesus from certain death of the cruel, debasing Roman crucifixion?
