Description: Mary & Joseph go to the temple in Jerusalem. They dedicate their baby to God and name him Jesus. Simeon, a godly man, realizes this is the promised Messiah. Although only 12 years old, Jesus goes to Jerusalem for Passover and amazes everyone.

A docudrama on the life of Jesus Christ, the “JESUS” film has been translated into more than 1,400 languages since its 1979 release. It remains the most translated and viewed film in history. Pastor Rick Warren, author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” says “The ‘JESUS’ film is the most effective evangelistic tool ever invented.”

More than 450 religious leaders and scholars evaluated the script to ensure historical and biblical accuracy. The script is closely based on Luke's Gospel, so almost every word Jesus speaks is from the Bible. Rigorous efforts to portray the Jewish and Roman culture of nearly 2,000 years ago include: hand-woven clothing in only the 35 colors used then, pottery made with first-century methods, and removal of modern telephone poles and power lines from the landscape.

JESUS was filmed entirely at 202 locations in Israel in 1979, with a cast numbering more than 5,000 Israelis and Arabs. Whenever possible, scenes were filmed on the sites where they took place 2,000 years ago.
