Episode 2: The Coward
It wasn’t more than a handful of hours since Simon Peter pledged his allegiance to his Rabbi. Now, he’s hiding in an alley
near the High Priest’s home, coming to the sickening realization that he didn’t just abandon his Rabbi and Friend…
he also denied ever knowing Him.

Episode 3: The Governor
Dealing with a group of bloodthirsty religious leaders wasn’t in Pilate’s plans for the day, but when presented with the supposed
‘King of the Jews’, the Roman governor’s curiosity is piqued. Can he save the Messiah from His own people
or will Pilate be forced to bow to a greater plan?
