Rabbis in the synagogue courtyard discuss Mary's piety and wisdom, noting her deep understanding of scripture and her longing for the Messiah. They suggest Joseph, a righteous and hardworking carpenter, as a potential match, believing he would cherish and guide her.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to highlight the growing tension and oppression under Herod's reign. Two men, Asher and Ephraim, are overheard discussing the prophecies and Herod's fear of them, leading to their arrest by Herod's spies. This act of tyranny further emphasizes the desperate need for the Messiah's arrival. The people cry out, wondering when He will come to deliver them from darkness.
