The Setup

Alright, here we go—first-century Israel, a land buzzing with prophetic energy. The Roman Empire's got its grip on everything, and people are yearning for a Messiah, someone to bring hope and liberation.

Enter Jesus, a carpenter from Nazareth, who’s begun to turn heads with his radical teachings and rumored miracles. But before he can change the world, he needs a crew. Enter stage left: the first disciples.

John the Baptist has been doing his thing—baptizing and preaching about the coming Messiah. And he's got a couple of his own disciples hanging on every word, ready for something big.
