What happens

A.D. (1985) is an American/Italian miniseries in six parts that adapts the narrative in the Acts of the Apostles. Considered as the third and final installment in a TV miniseries trilogy that began with Moses the Lawgiver (1974) and Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth (1977), it was adapted from Anthony Burgess's 1985 novel The Kingdom of the Wicked, which was itself a sequel to Burgess's book Man of Nazareth, on which was based Zeffirelli's movie. The title is the abbreviation for Anno Domini (Medieval Latin, "In the year of the Lord"), as the events occur in the first years of the Christian Era. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
