The Gospel According to John (Greek: κατὰ Ἰωάννην εὐαγγέλιον, kata Iōannēn euangelion, or τὸ εὐαγγέλιον κατὰ Ἰωάννην, to euangelion kata Iōannēn), commonly referred to as the Gospel of John or simply John, is an account of the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. It details the story of Jesus to his Resurrection. In the standard order of the canonical gospels, it appears fourth, after the synoptic gospels Matthew, Mark and Luke.

The Gospel of John is a 2003 film that is the story of Jesus' life as recounted by the Gospel of John. It is a motion picture that has been adapted for the screen on a word-for-word basis from the American Bible Society's Good News Bible. This three-hour epic feature film follows John's Gospel precisely, without additions to the story from other Gospels, nor omission of complex passages.

This film was created by a constituency of artists from Canada and the United Kingdom, along with academic and theological consultants from around the world. The cast was selected primarily from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival and Soulpepper Theatre Company, as well as Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal National Theatre. The musical score, composed by Jeff Danna and created for the film, is partially based on the music of the Biblical period. The film was produced by Visual Bible International.

The film is narrated by Christopher Plummer and stars Scottish-Peruvian actor Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus. Others cast include British actors Stuart Bunce (John), Richard Lintern (Leading Pharisee) Scott Handy (John the Baptist), Lynsey Baxter (Mary Magdalene), and Canadian actors Diego Matamoros (Nicodemus), Stephen Russell (Pontius Pilate), Daniel Kash (Simon Peter), Cedric Smith (Caiaphas) and Nancy Palk (Samaritan Woman).

The film was directed by Philip Saville and co-produced by Canadian producer Garth Drabinsky and British producer Chris Chrisafis.

Executive producers were Sandy Pearl, Joel B. Michaels, Myron Gottlieb and Martin Katz.

Also involved were screenwriter John Goldsmith, production designer Don Taylor, sound mixer David Lee, makeup artist Trefor Proud, costume designer Debra Hanson, and director of photography and film editors Miroslaw Baszak and Michel Arcand.

Nitzan Sharron, the actor who portrayed Lazarus of Bethany, was born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel.

  • you left out a really amazing part of this movie, the ending where Jesus is in today world and runs with the children . that touched my heart. anyway thanks for the movie

  • @coatlicue2012

    The Mary portrayed here is Mary of Magdala (Mary Magdalene). The scene is based on the Christian Bible's Book of John, chapter 20, verses 1 through 18.

    I don't know enough about the Church of Latter Day Saints to know if you have a different interpretation.

  • They've got the WRONG Mary here...anyone with two brain cells knows that by now...that's what happens when people use "new" world translations to make biblical movies.
