While I love the series, S3 E3 blow me away. The director said now that all the Apostles are together, the show will start getting darker.
Jesus returns to Nazareth while sending the Apostles on their first missionary work, where they feel wholly in adequate to the tasks. Jesus delegated to them power to eject demons and cure people.
Back home, it is certainly implied he told his mother how things are going to unfold. When he read from the book of Isaiah, the wrath of his friends was palpable. They shock and worried look on Mary was powerful. Great acting.
They escorted him to a cliff to impose the death sentence for supposedly blaspheming against the Law of Moses. Not being a Jew, it was not clear to me exactly what he said that got them so rattled up. Can anyone explain it?
To me, it seemed 2 unrelated things infuriated them:

To me, it seemed 2 unrelated things infuriated them:
- His refusal to perform signs and wonders for his home town people who knew him growing up.
- His emphasizing "God's chosen people" does not mean God's grace does not extend to Gentiles
- The writing was brilliant, extra-Biblical Jesus quoted 2 OT stories where Elijah and Elisha 1st blessed Gentiles.
- And if "God's chosen people" cannot recognize their need for a Savior, Jesus cannot "my" salvation to you.
- What do you mean, "my salvation?" Off the cliff you go.
- More extra-biblical quote. Jesus said to the rabbi in Nazareth, "I am the Law of Moses."
- At this, the man who Jesus got married in Cana, where water was turned into wine, took the ceremonial robe off of Jesus and intended to act as his executioner.
