Years later, during the reign of Emperor Tiberius and King Herod Antipas, John the Baptist baptizes Jesus in the Jordan River and the Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus. When Mary asks about his whereabouts, Jesus tells them that he was in His Father's house. At the age of twelve, Jesus becomes separated from his parents during a Passover trip to Jerusalem. There, they are greeted by Simeon, who blesses Jesus as the Christ. A week later, Mary and Joseph travel to Jerusalem to present Jesus at the Temple. When the Romans hold a census, Mary travels with her husband Joseph to his hometown of Bethlehem to register. Later, Mary visits Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, who tells her that she is the most blessed of women and that her child is blessed.
ĭuring the days of Emperor Augustus and King Herod the Great, Mary is visited by the angel Gabriel who tells her that she will give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. Jesus is sometimes described as the most-watched motion picture of all time, in addition to being the most translated film of all time. Shot on location in Israel, the film was financed primarily by Campus Crusade for Christ with a budget of $6 million, and was released without production or cast credits, as producer John Heyman declared that the creators of this picture were “simply being translators” of the New Testament's Gospel of Luke, “so nobody will know who produced or directed the film.” The end of the film states that the Good News Bible (Today's English Version) was used during filming, and instead of telling a parallel story or embellishing the biblical account like other biblical films, the filmmakers chose to adhere to the Gospel of Luke as closely as possible.
A voice-over narration is featured sporadically throughout the film, providing background information on characters and events. In Jesus, the life of Jesus Christ is depicted, primarily using the Gospel of Luke as the main basis for the story. Jesus (also known as The Jesus Film) is a 1979 American biblical drama film directed by Peter Sykes and John Krish, and produced by John Heyman.
