Watch: The coming of the Holy Spirit, interviews with the cast, and more from A.D. The Bible Continues

The third episode of A.D. The Bible Continues airs this Sunday, and the powers that be have posted almost a dozen new clips and interviews to pique our interest.

First, Lightworkers Media — the production company run by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey — posted four brief clips of the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in this week’s episode (ironically, the fourth video was taken offline by NBC for copyright reasons, but I’m including it here in case the video ever gets reinstated):
