Once again we have moved back into the realm of that which is largely fiction…with a few helpful bits along the way. Enjoy!

Biblical: What We Find in Scripture

The opening scene of the disciples and Jesus participating in the last supper is almost entirely taken from Scripture. Of course, the Chosen has harmonized the gospel accounts in Matthew 26, Mark 14, and Luke 22. This scene also draws upon 1 Corinthians 11 where Paul gives instruction to the church that he had received directly from the Lord.
John the Baptist was executed by one of the Herods, but we have no record in the Bible of Nicodemus caring at all about that.

Unbiblical: What Contradicts Scripture

Nothing

Extra-biblical: What Is Made Up but Doesn’t Contradict Scripture

We continue to see a great deal of speculation and imagination around Nicodemus. All of the opening scenes of Nicodemus and, what I imagine to be the Sanhedrin (the Jewish ruling council), are fictional. This opening scene with Mary Magdalene and others is fictional and not part of the biblical record.
While we know that Judas made an agreement for 30 pieces of silver with the religious leaders, we have no record in Scripture of what that interaction looked like. We do not know that Judas believed or not that Jesus was the Messiah. We do not know that Judas made the arrangement to test Jesus to see if Jesus was the Messiah. All we know is that the arrangement was made.
The scene with Judas and Caiaphas is followed by a scene with Atticus and Kafni. These two characters are extra-biblical. As such, nothing that these characters do or say comes from the pages of Scripture.
There is no biblical record showing that Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate had conspired to bring an end to Jesus. We are told that Jesus was sent to Pilate after he was tried by the Jews, but no record of conspiracy, nor any “arrangement.”
Atticus remains a fictional character, and so his interaction with Simon the Zealot is fictional. We also have no record that Simon the Zealot and Barabbas knew each other. Simply because Simon was part of the political party that called itself the zealots, does not mean Simon was a murderous insurrectionist as well.
Yussif, an entirely fictional character, and his conversation with Nicodemus is fiction.

Helpful: What We Might Be Helpful To the Watcher

Nicodemus, as previously noted, is one of the people who seeks to care for Jesus’ body after his death. While there is no biblical record of him hearing of the plot to kill Jesus in this way, nor of meeting with Mary Magdalene, Nicodemus does appear to have become a follower of Scripture. John 19:39ff
While Nicodemus’ statement that Mary Magdalene’s healing is as convincing of who Jesus is as the prophecies is not biblical, it is most certainly helpful. Over and over again, maybe especially in the book of John, he points to the Scripture and his miracles as evidence of who he is. That statement from Nicodemus did a good job of capturing this.
It is doubtlessly true that the religious leaders of the day believed they were doing God a service by removing Jesus from the life of the Jewish people. They were simply doing what they believed to be best.

Dangerous: Things That Have Been Added That Might Be Dangerous to Accept as Fact

Nothing

Anachronisms and Errors: Things that are out of place regarding the time, etc.

This is picky, but while the opening scene in the upper room is largely accurate as mentioned above, there are some inconsistencies. Wax candles would not likely have been present. Small lamps with wicks that burned olive oil would have been on the tables. Additionally, the disciples and Jesus would not have been seated on chairs. They would have been seated on the floor and reclined against each other.
Using boiling water for the purposes of sanitation is very unlikely to have been something that the people understood at that time.
