Jesus Of Nazareth - Official® Trailer [HD]

Release Date: March 27, 1977

Jesus of Nazareth is a 1977 Anglo-Italian television mini-series dramatising the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus based on the accounts in the four New Testament Gospels.

The mini-series was directed by Franco Zeffirelli and produced by Lew Grade through his ITC Entertainment company. Zeffirelli co-wrote the screenplay with Anthony Burgess and Suso Cecchi d'Amico.

The storyline of Jesus of Nazareth is a kind of cinematic Diatessaron, or "Gospel harmony", blending the narratives of all four New Testament accounts. It takes a fairly naturalistic approach, de-emphasising special effects when miracles are depicted and presenting Jesus more or less evenly divine and human. The familiar Christian episodes are presented chronologically: the betrothal, and later marriage, of Mary and Joseph, the Annunciation, the Visitation, the circumcision of John the Baptist, the Nativity of Jesus, the circumcision of Jesus, the Census of Quirinius, the Flight into Egypt and Slaughter of the Innocents, the Finding in the Temple, the Baptism of Jesus, the woman caught in adultery, Jesus helping Peter catch the fish, the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 11-32), a dialogue between Jesus and Barabbas (non-biblical), Matthew's dinner party, the Sermon on the Mount, debating with Joseph of Arimathea, the curing of the blind man at the pool, the Raising of Lazarus (John 11:43), the Feeding of the Five Thousand, the Entry into Jerusalem, Jesus and the money changers, the Last Supper, the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, Peter denying Christ and repenting of it, the judgment of Jesus by Pilate ("Ecce Homo"), the Johannine Passion Narrative (John 18-19 including the Agony in the Garden), the Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion of Christ (Laurence Olivier's Nicodemus recites the "Suffering Servant" passage [Isaiah' 53:3-5] as he looks helplessly on the crucified Messiah), the discovery of the empty tomb, and an appearance of the Risen Christ to his Disciples. The film's storyline concludes with the non-Biblical character Zerah and his colleagues gazing despairingly into the empty tomb. Zerah's laments: "Now it begins. It all begins".

But it is so FANTASTIC, it doesn't seem that long AT ALL! IT IS JUST FANTASTIC!!! SUPERB!! BRAVA!!! - Juliet

I really enjoyed this version of the story. Robert Powell gives Jesus the right aura of mystique, rage and humble humanity. I've never sat through the whole thing, only an edited "film" version.

Look at all these believers tp& non believers they hurt Jesus by saying oh I am a believer in Jesus but one thing I know is what Jesus say in Matthew 23: 25 just take look what Jesus say look beautiful in the inside but in the outside are of dead man's bones they are like that!. They really show to them look I am a good Christian I listen to my wife or follow what she say but without their friends around no way. Sue

The best film about Jesus. Robert Powell's portrail of Our Lord is simply flawless. I watch it at least once a year at Easter, during the Passion week. Highly recommended.
