Let's jump right into episode 3 of A.D. The Bible Continues.
Pilate is already sick and tired of the rebels being a threat, but he still keeps the city heavily guarded. This, of course, brings the attention of the Herod family, as they pay a visit to Pilate, despite having to pass harsh security clearance. Herod himself begins to question Caiaphas about his own safety, because apparently Herod was assured by Caiaphas that the Jesus incident was done and over with. With that being said, Herod questions Caiaphas' loyalty to him.
-As if Caiaphas hasn't already gotten bashed by Pilate for going over him that one time...
Later on, during an indoor gathering, Herod requests to Pilate that there would be less guards in "his city." But Pilate refuses, but only increases the number of guards, along with saying that he'll attend the Pentecost festivities.
Meanwhile, Simon Peter's daughter comes to visit. She wonders why her father won't come home. Peter tells her that he has a mission- to be Jesus' successor and to spread the word of Christ. All they have to do is wait for the Holy Spirit to embrace them.
Now, while rebels are planning to assassinate Pilate, Pilate's wife meets the head guard in secret and has him promise to protect her husband.
Meanwhile, Caiaphas hears word that Pilate is planning to attend the Pentecost celebration. This shocks him, because of the growing threat of the rebels in the city.
Back at the disciples,' Simon Peter continues to try to get his daughter to understand the importance of being Jesus' ministry. This leads to Peter finally realizing that they need to pray the Lord's Prayer over and over to conjure the Holy Spirit.
Thus, the Holy Spirit finally comes to the disciples with it's glorious lighting.
On the day of the Pentecost celebration, Caiaphas publicly welcomes Pilate, along with thunderous praise. Suddenly, one of the rebels makes a move to assassinate Pilate, but is chased away by the guards. But the rebel did kill one of the pursuing guards.
-It's like the guy said: Well, if I can't kill the big guy in rule, I might as well kill one of his guards. Ooooh... big deal!
Later on, the disciples finally come out of hiding.
One of the first things they do is go up to a homeless man and heal him by having him walk again, courtesy of their Lord and Savior Jesus.
This creates a spectacle, causing Simon Peter and John to be beaten and taken away by the guards.
While that's going on, three rebels are executed under Pilate on the steps of the Temple. This comes to the shock of Caiaphas.
-This would be the second time in this series that Caiaphas has witnessed executions of people. First it were the guards, and now three rebels... Geez! Cut this guy a break! He doesn't need to see anymore bloodshed made by Pilate.
The episode ends with Caiaphas coming face-to-face with Simon Peter and John in their prison cell.
Consensus:
We're already three episodes in, and the story is becoming more and more intense as the series progresses. It's like Five Nights at Freddy's: it becoming more and more intense every night. In fact, I'm not ashamed to put FNaF logic into this review of a Christian TV series, but that's just how it feels for me.
Anyway, I'm still looking forward to the next episode. According to the teaser trailer for next time, things get more aggressive for everyone.
