A few highlights:
- Host Jason Kennedy asks why Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene first and not to Peter or John (c. the 6-minute mark). Actually, according to Paul and Luke, Jesus did appear to Peter first; and according to Matthew, Jesus appeared to several women simultaneously before he appeared to the male disciples.
- Di Pace discusses how, in his performance, Jesus before the Crucifixion and Jesus after the Resurrection could not be more different (c. the 9-minute mark).
- D’Clario says A.D.’s depiction of the Ascension was “the best Ascension ever,” and di Pace talks about how the scene was shot (c. the 23-minute mark).
- Di Pace says the #HotJesus hashtag “belittles” the message of Jesus as well as di Pace’s experience playing the character (c. the 25-minute mark).
- Di Pace says Jesus asked for something to eat after the Resurrection because he was “hungry”, according to the Bible (c. the 30-minute mark). Actually, according to Luke, Jesus ate a fish to prove that he had a body and was not just a ghost.
- A new clip from tonight’s episode (c. the 32-minute mark).
D’Clario’s musical performance has also been posted as a standalone clip:
