The show uses ancient texts, plus interviews with experts who can interpret them, to retrace Christ's activities in the days leading up to his crucifixion.

Do they mean "the Gospels"?

Of course not. If the 'ancient texts' were going to be those in the Bible, they'd have said so. The fact they feel they need something else says they reject the authority of the Bible. They'll claim to include the Gospels, but it will be as one source among many - and I'd take a large bet the Gospels will not be shown as the most reliable source.

They'll probably find an 'ancient text' which reports what was described in Matthew 28. After the guards reported what had happened, the chief priests and elders, devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.'..."...And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

Sounds like the plot of an ABC made-for-TV movie.
