3. LEVIATHAN
A giant warship docks in Alexandria harbour and Macky learns
from Portia that the ship’s mission is to attack the rebels resisting the
Romans in Galilee. Macky inspires his neighbour, the young genius
Sollie, with the story of David and Goliath. Sollie comes up with a
plan to sink the ship.
When Macky and Samuel are captured and imprisoned on the
doomed ship, the story of how God released Peter from prison
encourages them never to give up hope. As a result of the heroic
destruction of the ship, its Roman architect decides to stay away
from objects of war.
4. FALSE HEROES
Macky and the family take a risk and give
shelter to two men they think are fugitive
rebels, brothers Caleb and Aaron. The story of
Rahab teaches the family, and Portia, about caring
for strangers. Aaron is very sick, and to nurse him Diana
needs to cool his raging fever. Disguised as musicians, Macky and
Samuel venture into the Governor’s palace to bring back ice from a
lavish Roman banquet. When the sickness looks serious, the story of
how Peter raised Tabitha back to life encourages Caleb never to give
up hope for his brother.
We’re left in suspense at the end of the episode when it’s discovered
that Caleb and Aaron are actually dangerous criminals.
