All language subtitles for Jesus.1979.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG_14_English

How great is god, exalted in
power, majestic above all.

The heavens tell of his greatness. The
skies display his awesome craftsmanship.

Day after day they continue to speak. Night
after night they make him known.

In creating the heavens,
god also created the earth

and formed man from the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

The god of love created man and woman in his
own image to have a relationship with him.

And so in the beginning, they revered and
honored god and lived in Harmony with him.

This continued until one day, Satan tempted
the woman to eat the forbidden fruit,

and she gave it to the man who also ate.

In so doing, mankind rebelled against
god and went their own way.

As a result of this sin, mankind was separated
from god and was thrown out of the garden of Eden.

But god still loved mankind. It was never his
desire to be separate from those he created.

Yet how could god be holy and the source of perfect
justice if he did not judge mankind for their sin?

In his holy book, god reveals his plan
to save the world from his judgment.

One of the first to see this
plan unfold was Abraham.

Abraham was a righteous man
whom god promised to bless

and make his descendants as numerous as the
sand of the sea and the stars of the sky.

To test his obedience, god told Abraham
to sacrifice his son as an offering to him.

Abraham trusted god and sought to obey him.

But as he raised his knife to kill his son,
the angel of the lord stopped him.

He saw that Abraham feared god,
and was willing to obey him.

Then Abraham saw a ram caught
by its horns in a thicket,

and he sacrificed the ram instead
of his son as an offering to god.

And so god showed Abraham that
a lamb or a similar animal

was to be slain as a
temporary covering for sin

until god would provide his ultimate
sacrifice to pay for the sins of mankind.

Instead of sin separating man from god, the
sacrifice would restore their relationship.

The holy scriptures speak of one who was to come and
be the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world.

As the ram took the place of Abraham's son,

so this one who would come would take
man's place so he could be forgiven.

Some refer to this person as the Messiah,

the one who would come and reconcile
the world back to god once and for all.

The prophets predicted many things in detail about
the Messiah hundreds of years before he appeared.

The prophet Isaiah foretold that his
birth was to be a miraculous one.

A virgin would conceive a child who was to be
called, in a spiritual sense, the son of god.

The prophet Micah predicted that the
Messiah would be born in Bethlehem,

while the prophet Zechariah foretold
his entry into Jerusalem on a donkey

and his betrayal by
Judas, one of his followers.

Isaiah prophesied what the Messiah
would do when he came.

The lord's anointed will preach
the good news to the poor,

bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim
freedom for the captives

and proclaim that the time has come
when the lord will save his people.

So, who was the Messiah? In the first
century, a prophet came called Jesus.

Some thought he was the one the prophet
spoke about. Could this be?

Did his life fulfill what was predicted of
him? Was Jesus more than a prophet?

What follows is his story, based on eyewitness
accounts as recorded in the holy scriptures.

An actor plays the part of Jesus, and
though no actor is worthy of such a role,

it has been done so that we may understand
and benefit from the life of Jesus.

I am writing to you, dear theophilus,

an orderly account of the things that
have taken place among us,

so that you may know the absolute
truth about everything.

In the days when Caesar Augustus was emperor of
Rome, and when herod the great was king of judea,

god sent the angel Gabriel to visit a virgin of the
city of nazareth. And the virgin's name was Mary.

Fear not Mary, for you
have found favor with god.

You will conceive and give birth to a son
and you will call his name “Jesus."

How can this be?

I am a virgin.

The holy spirit will come upon you.

For this reason the holy child will be called the
son of the most high god. His kingdom will never end.

Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth,
who was too old to have a child.

But by a miracle, god had enabled
her to become pregnant too.

Elizabeth!

Mary!

Cousin Mary!

You are the most blessed of all women,

and blessed is the child you will bear.

For as soon as I heard your greeting,

the baby within me

jumped with gladness.

My soul does magnify the lord,

and my spirit has
rejoiced in god my savior.

From now on all generations
will call me blessed.

Attention, all men of nazareth, by
command of Caesar Augustus,

there will be conducted a census of the
subject territories of galilee and judea.

All men must register in the town or city
where their ancestors were born.

So Joseph went to the town of Bethlehem in judea
to register with Mary, to whom he was engaged.

But there was no room for them in Bethlehem. And the
only lodging they could find was a humble stable.

Now there were some Shepherds in that part of the
country who were taking care of their flock at night.

Suddenly, an angel of god appeared to them
and the glory of god shone about them.

This very day in David's town your savior
was born. He is Christ the lord.

The Shepherds hurried to see the
newborn babe in a manger,

and were the first to spread the good news
or "gospel" of the savior's birth.

A week later, when the time came for the baby
to be circumcised, he was given the name Jesus,

and Joseph and Mary took the child to
Jerusalem to present him to the lord.

In the temple there was a good and
devout man named simeon.

The holy spirit had promised him that he
would not die until he had seen the Christ.

Lord, now let your sewant depart in
peace according to your promise.

For my eyes have seen your salvation.

This child is chosen by god.

May you both be blessed.

They completed their duties according
to the religious law.

Then, some time later, they returned
to their home in nazareth.

When Jesus was twelve years old, Joseph and Mary
took him to Jerusalem for the passover feast.

But when they started back home, thinking that
the boy was with them, Jesus stayed behind.

They returned to the city to look for him,

and three days later they found him in the temple
sitting with the Jewish religious teachers.

Whose child is this who
asks such questions?

He's from nazareth.

We thought he had left with us.

Please, forgive his eagerness.

All who heard him were amazed.

Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and
I have been terribly worried trying to find you.

Why did you have to look for me? Didn't you
know that I had to be in my father's house?

And he came with them to nazareth
and increased in wisdom and stature

and in favor with god and with man.

In the fifteenth year of the rule
of the emperor tiberius,

when pontius pilate was governor of judea,

and herod was the ruler of galilee,

and annas and caiaphas
were the high priests.

The word of god came to
John, the son of Elizabeth,

and he went through all the country
along the Jordan river,

preaching the baptism of repentance
for the remission of sins.

Turn away from your sins

and be baptized,

and god will forgive your sins!

As it is written in the
book of the prophet Isaiah:

"Someone is shouting in the desert:

'Get the road ready for the lord!

Make a straight path for him to travel.

Every valley must be filled up;

every hill and mountain leveled off!

The winding roads must be made straight,
and the rough paths made smooth.

And all mankind

will see god's salvation!'"

what shall we do?

Yes, tell us, what must we do?

You brood of vipers!

What do you want us to do?

Help us. Tell us which way to turn.

Whoever has two

shirts,

must give one to the man

who has

none.

And whoever has food

must share it.

Teacher,

we are tax collectors.

What shall we do?

Don't collect more than is legal.

And what about us?

What are we to do?

Don't take money from anyone by force.

And don't accuse anyone falsely.

Be content with your pay.

Tell us...

Are you

the Christ?

I baptize you with water.

But someone is coming who
is much greater than I am.

I'm not good enough even to untie his sandals. He
will baptize you with the holy spirit and fire.

He has his threshing fork with him, to thresh out
all the grain and gather the wheat into his barn.

And god the holy spirit came down upon
Jesus in bodily form like a clove.

And a voice came from heaven, "you are my
own dear son, I am pleased with you."

When Jesus began his work he
was about thirty years old.

He returned from the
Jordan full of the holy spirit

and was led by the spirit into the desert where
he was tempted by the devil for forty days.

In all this time he ate nothing.

And the devil said to him:

If you are god's son, order this
stone to turn into bread.

It is written

that man shall not live by bread
alone but by every word of god.

Then the devil took him up and showed him
in a moment all the kingdoms of the world.

I will give you all this
power and all this wealth.

It has all been handed over to me and
I can give it to anyone I choose.

All this will be yours
then, if you worship me.

It is written, "you shall
worship the lord your god,

and him only shall you serve."

Then the devil took him to Jerusalem and
set him on the highest point of the temple.

If you are god's son, throw
yourself down from here,

for the scripture says: "God will order
his angels to take good care of you."

They "will hold you up with their hands, so that
not even your feet will be hurt on the stones."

The scripture says,

"you shall not put the
lord your god to the test."

And he came to nazareth where
he had been brought up.

Hello.

Hello.

On the sabbath he went
as usual to the synagogue.

And he was called upon to read
a portion of the prophet Isaiah.

"The spirit of the lord is upon me,

because he has chosen me to
bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim release to the
captives and recovery of sight to the blind.

To set at Liberty those who are oppressed,

and announce that the time has come
when the lord will save his people.“

yes, he speaks well, yes.

This passage of scripture
has come true today,

as you heard it being read.

The scripture come true?

But only the Messiah
can fulfill that promise!

How shall we know?

Doubtless you'll quote the proverb to me,

"physician heal yourself."

You'll also say to me,

"do here in your own hometown,

the things we heard
were done in capernaum."

I tell you this,

no prophet is ever welcome in his hometown!

By these words Jesus identified himself as the
Messiah, god's anointed, sent to save his people.

These Jews did not
accept him as the Messiah.

They meant to throw him over the cliff,

but he walked through
the middle of the crowd,

and went his way,

And came to capernaum, a city of galilee.

The Roman occupation in the nation
was in evidence everywhere.

And the people longed for the Messiah
to free them from the tyranny.

Peace be with you.

And you, master.

May I use your boat, Simon?

Why not?

He's not going to leave is he?

Speak to us!

Speak to us!

Jesus, speak to us!

Once there were two men who
went up to the temple to pray.

One was a pharisee,
the other a tax collector.

The pharisee stood apart
by himself and prayed,

"I thank you god that I am not greedy or
dishonest or an adulterer like everybody else.

I thank you that I am not like
that tax collector over there."

"I fast twice a week,

and I give you one tenth of all my income."

But the tax collector stood at a distance
and would not even raise his face to heaven,

but beat upon his breast and said,

"god, have pity on me, a sinner.“

I tell you, the tax collector, not the pharisee,
was in the right with god when he went home.

For the man who exalts
himself will be humbled,

and he who humbles himself

will be exalted.

Push the boat out
farther to the deep water.

Then you and your partners let
down your nets for a catch.

Oh, master,

we worked hard all night long

and caught nothing.

But if you say so,

I'll let down the nets.

James!

John!

James! John! Get your boat over here
and give us some help! Hurry!

We can't, we've got our hands full.

Go away from me, lord.

I am a sinful man.

Don't be afraid.

From now on you will be catching men.

Come to me and listen to my words.
Hear me, and you shall have life.

Seek the lord while he may be found;
Call on him while he is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and
the unrighteous man his thoughts;

and let him return to the lord and
he will have compassion on him.

For he will abundantly pardon. You shall go
out with joy and be led forth in peace.

He's coming! He's here! Look!

Jesus!

Jesus!

I beg you to save my only daughter!

Sir, have mercy.

She's only twelve years
old and... and dying.

Please! Please, come with me!

Jairus, I'm sorry.

Leave him alone jairus.

Jesus!

Your daughter has died.

Don't bother the teacher any longer.

Don't be afraid.

Only believe, and she will be well.

Do not weep.

She's not dead, but only sleeping.

Child,

arise.

Give her something to eat.

Listen to me,

tell no one what has happened here.

And after this he saw a tax collector named Matthew
Levi, sitting at the toll gate to receive the customs.

Follow me.

And Jesus went up a hill to pray, and spent
the whole night there praying to god.

When day came he called his disciples to him
and chose twelve of them whom he named apostles.

Simon, whom he also named Peter...

And Andrew, his brother...

James...

And John...

Philip...

And Bartholomew...

And Matthew...

And Thomas...

James, the son of alphaeus...

And Simon called the zealot...

And Judas, the brother of James...

And Judas iscariot, the one who
would later betray Jesus.

Blessed are you poor,

for yours is the kingdom of god.

Blessed are you who hunger
now, for you shall be filled.

Blessed are you who weep
now, for you shall laugh.

Blessed are you when men hate you
and reject you and insult you,

and say you are evil, all
because of the son of man.

Be glad when that
happens and dance for joy,

because a great reward
is kept for you in heaven.

For their ancestors did the very
same thing to the prophets.

Sixteen,

seventeen,

eighteen,

nineteen,

twenty...

That's all I've got.

Mk ou meamthatyalllyourvejgoy
'sj! 1' lie-j got.

What do you mean that's all you've got!

°q< ow meahj thatj's aljo you 'vej gjt'jj

how terrible for you who are rich now!

You have had your easy life.

He doesn't want to be rich. He must be mad.

How terrible for you who laugh now,

for you shall mourn and weep.

How terrible when all
men speak well of you,

for their ancestors said the very same
things about the false prophets.

But I tell you who hear me:

Love your enemies.

Do good to those who hate you.

Bless those who curse you.

And pray for those who mistreat you.

If anyone strikes you on the one cheek,

let him hit the other also.

And if someone takes away your coat,
let him have your shirt as well.

Give to everyone who begs from you.

And if someone takes what is yours,

do not ask for it back again.

Do for others

only what you would have others do for you.

If you love only the people who love you,

why should you receive a blessing?

For even sinners love those who love them.

And if you do good to
those who do good to you,

why should you receive a blessing?

Even sinners do that.

How could he touch her?

How could he talk to her?

Disgusting!

No,

love your enemies,

and do good to them.

And lend expecting nothing back.

And then you will have a great reward,

for you will be sons of the most high god.

For he is good to the
ungrateful and to the wicked.

Be merciful,

just as your father is merciful.

Save us, Jesus!

Judge not and you will not be judged!

Condemn not,

and you will not be condemned!

Forgive,

and you will be forgiven.

Lead us in your path, lord!

Give, and it will be given to you.

For the measure you give will
be the measure you get back.

One blind man cannot lead another!

If he does they will
both fall into a ditch.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's
eye but pay no attention to the log in your own eye?

Guide us, master!

We need you now, lord!

How happy is the mother who
bore you and nursed you!

Rather how happy are those
who hear the word of god,

and obey it.

I'd like to know this man.

Do you think he might be

the Messiah?

This pharisee invited Jesus to have dinner with him.
And Jesus went to his house and sat down to eat.

Come along children, off you go.

You heard me,

go!

They get into all the mischief they
can, but they're good sons.

What is she doing here?

I don't know.

What's she doing?

If this man really were a prophet he would
know who this woman is who is touching him.

He would know what
kind of sinful life she lives.

I know who this woman is, Simon.

Let me tell you something.

There were two men who owed
money to a money lender.

One owed him five hundred silver
coins and the other fifty.

Neither of them could pay him back, so he

canceled the debts of both.

Which one then will love him more?

I suppose that it would be the
one who was forgiven more.

You are right.

You see this woman?

I came into your home. You gave
me no water for my feet,

yet she has washed my feet with her
tears and dried them with her hair.

You did not welcome me with a kiss,

but since I came she has
not stopped kissing my feet.

You provided no olive oil for my head,

yet she has anointed my feet with perfume.

I tell you then,

the great love she has shown proves
that her many sins are forgiven.

But whoever is forgiven a little,

shows only a little love.

Your sins are forgiven you.

Did he really say that? Did you...

Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.

Jesus traveled about, teaching the
good news of the kingdom of god.

And the twelve disciples went with him and so did
some women who had been healed of evil spirits:

Mary, who was called magdalene;

Joanna, whose husband, chuza,
was an officer in herod's court;

and Susanna.

But herod, the Roman-appointed ruler of
galilee, put John the baptist in prison,

because he had condemned herod's
marriage to his brother's wife.

Well?

As we arrived at the gate of nain,

a funeral procession came out.

The dead was the only son of a widow.

When Jesus saw her, his heart was filled with
compassion. He, he touched the coffin and said,

"young man, get up I tell you.“

then the dead man sat up, and Jesus
gave him back to his mother.

Ask him,

say,

"are you the one John
said was going to come,

or should we expect someone else?"

Master!

Master!

John the baptist sent us to ask

if you are the one who is going to come,

or should we expect someone else?

Go back and tell John what
you have seen and heard:

The blind can see,

the lame can walk.

How happy are those who
have no doubts about me.

Please, pick me up.

Onto my shoulder. Can you see now?

I can see Jesus.

A sower went out to sow his seed.

And as he scattered the grain, some of
it fell by the path and was walked on,

and the birds of the air devoured it.

And some fell on rocky ground,

and when the plants sprouted, they withered
away because they had no moisture.

And some seeds fell among thorns,

and the thorns grew up with the plants

and choked them.

And some seeds fell in good soil,

and the plants grew and bore grain,

one hundred grains each.

Master,

why do you speak in parables
whenever a crowd is near?

The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom
of god has been given to you.

But to others it comes by means of
parables, so they may look but not see,

and listen but not understand.

This is what the parable means.

The seed is the word of god.

The seeds that fell along the path
stand for those who hear.

But the devil comes, and takes the
message away from their hearts

in order to keep them from
believing and being saved.

The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for
those who hear the message and receive it gladly,

but they have no roots.

They believe only for a while.

And when the time of testing comes,

they fall away.

The seeds that fell among the thorns
stand for those who hear,

but the worries and riches and pleasures
of this life crowd in and choke them

and their fruit never ripens.

And the seeds that fell in good soil

stand for those who hear the message and
retain it in a good and obedient heart,

and they persist until they bear fruit.

No one lights a lamp
and covers it with a bowl,

or puts it under a bed.

Instead he puts it on the stand,

so that the people may
see the light as they come in.

Whatever is hidden away will
be brought out in the open.

And whatever is covered up will
be found and brought to light.

Be careful then how you listen,

because whoever has will be given more,

but he who has not will have taken away
from him even the little he thinks he has.

Teacher,

your mother and brothers
are standing outside.

They want to see you.

My mother and brothers are those
who hear the word of god,

and obey it.

One day Jesus got into a boat with
his disciples and said to them,

"let us go across to the
other side of the lake."

And as they were sailing, he fell asleep.

Master!

Master!

Jesus!

We're about to die!

The waves are swamping us. We'll
all drown! Save us master!

We're going to be saved!

Where is your faith?

And they sailed on over to gadara, which
is across the lake from galilee.

Jesus,

son of the most high god,

what do you want with me?

I beg you,

don't punish me!

What is your name?

Legion.

Lord, we beg you,

do not

send us into the abyss.

Let us enter

into the herd

of

Swine.

Hey!

Come back!

Stop!

Stop!

And the demons went out of the man...

Come back!

And into the pigs.

Go away from here!

You, magician!

Leave us!

Go away from this place!

Leave us!

Go away from here!

I'll follow you wherever you go.

Let me

come with you.

Go back home,

and tell what god has done for you.

Master,

send the people away,

so then they can go to the villages
and farms around here,

and find food and lodging. There
is nothing in this place.

You yourselves give them something to eat.

But all we have are
five loaves and two fish.

Blessed are you, o lord our god, king of the
universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.

It's a miracle.

Unbelievable!

Who do the crowds say I am?

Some say that you are John the baptist,

others say that you are Elijah,

while others say that one
of the prophets of long ago

has come back to life.

What about you?

Who do you say I am?

You are god's Messiah.

You shall tell no man of this.

The son of man must
suffer much and be rejected.

He will be put to death,

but three days later
will be raised to life.

Will any of you come with me?

I will follow you master,

but first,

let me go and

say good bye to my family.

Anyone who starts to plow and then keeps looking
back is of no use for the kingdom of god.

If anyone wants to come with
me, he must forget himself,

take up his cross every day, and follow me.

For whoever would save
his own life will lose it,

and whoever would lose his
life for my sake will save it.

What will it profit a man if he gain the
whole earth and lose his own soul?

If any man is ashamed
of me and my teachings,

then the son of man will be ashamed
of him when he comes in his glory,

and the glory of the
father and the holy angels.

I assure you,

there are some here who will not die until
they have seen the kingdom of god.

Then Jesus took John and James and Peter
with him, and went up the hill to pray.

While he was praying, his face changed in its
appearance, and his clothes became dazzling white.

Suddenly two men were talking with him.

They were Moses and Elijah, who
appeared in heavenly glory.

You will fulfill god's purpose.

You will die in Jerusalem.

As they were leaving, Peter said to Jesus:

Master, how good it is that we are here.

We will make three tents;

as Peter spoke, a cloud came and overshadowed
them and the disciples were afraid.

And a voice came from the cloud saying, “this
is my son, the chosen one. Listen to him."

Teacher!

Teacher,

please do something for my son!

Please, please help him, help him,

for he is my only child.

I've begged your disciples to
cast the demon out of him,

but they could not.

O faithless and penlerse generation,

how long am I to be with
you and bear with you?

Bring your son here.

His face has been healed too!

How wonderful!

Teach us to pray,

just as John taught his disciples.

When you pray, say,

"our father in heaven,

holy be your name.

Your kingdom come,

your will be done on
earth as it is in heaven.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

And forgive us our sins,

for we also forgive
those who sin against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil."

Ask, and you will receive;

seek, and you will find;

knock, and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks will receive,

and he who seeks will find,

and the door will be opened
to anyone who knocks.

Would any of you who
are fathers give to your son

a snake when he asks for a fish,

or a scorpion when he asks for an egg?

As bad as you are, you know how to
give good things to your children.

How much more, then, will the heavenly father
give the holy spirit to those who ask him.

I tell you this,

take no thought in your
life for what you shall eat,

nor for your body what you shall wear.

For life is more than food, and
the body more than clothing.

Consider the ravens:

They neither sow nor reap, have
neither storehouse nor barn,

yet god feeds them.

Of how much more worth
are you than the birds?

Which of you, by being anxious, can
add to the length of your life?

If you cannot do such a small thing,

why do you worry about the rest?

Consider the lilies,

how they grow.

They neither toil nor spin,

yet Solomon in all his glory was not
dressed like a single one of them.

If god

so clothes the wild grass today which
tomorrow is thrown onto a fire,

how much more sure is he to clothe you,

0 you of little faith.

Make our faith greater.

If you had faith as big as a mustard
seed, you could say

to this mulberry tree,

"pull yourself up by the roots and plant
yourself in the sea, “ and it would obey you.

Temptations to sin are sure to come,

but woe to him by whom they come.

It will be better for him that a stone were tied
about his neck and he were cast into the sea,

than that he should cause one
of these little ones to sin.

What is the kingdom of god like?

It is like this:

A man takes a grain of mustard
seed and plants it in his field.

The plant grows and becomes a tree,

and the birds make
their nests in its branches.

I'm not sure what he's talking about.

Why do you eat and drink with tax
collectors and other outcasts?

People who are well do not need a doctor,

but only those who are sick.

I have not come to call
respectable people to repent,

but outcasts.

Tell us again about the kingdom.

Is there anything else?

Do not be afraid, little flock, for your
father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

Sell all your belongings and
give the money to the poor.

Provide for yourselves
purses that don't wear out

and save your riches in heaven,
where they will never decrease.

Because no thief can get to them,

and no moth can destroy them.

For your heart will always
be where your riches are.

Woman,

you are free from your sickness.

Look! Look, she's cured! It's a miracle!
Look, look, she's cured! Come and see!

PR-PR-PR-praise

to the lord!

Eighteen years!

God keep you, rabbi!

There are six days in which we should work,

so come on one of those days to be healed,

but not on the sabbath.

You hypocrites!

Any one of you would
untie his ox or his donkey

and take it out from the stall to
give it water on the sabbath.

Now here is this descendant of Abraham whom
Satan has kept in bonds these eighteen years.

Should she not be released on the sabbath?

Good teacher, what must
I do to receive eternal life?

Why do you call me good?

No one is good except god alone.

You know the commandments:

"Do not commit adultery."

"Do not commit murder; Do
not accuse anyone falsely."

"Respect your mother and your father."

Ever since I was young, I have obeyed
all these commandments.

There is still one more
thing you need to do.

You must sell all you have and
give the money to the poor,

and you will have riches in heaven.

Then come and follow me.

But we are merchants;

wealthy.

How hard it is for a rich person
to enter the kingdom of god.

It is harder for a rich person to enter
the kingdom of god, than for

a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle.

Who, then, can be saved?

What is impossible for
man is possible for god.

Exactly when will this come,

god's kingdom?

The kingdom of god does not come
in such a way as to be seen.

No one will say,

"look,

there it is," or "here it is,"

because the kingdom of god is within you.

The time will come when you will wish that you
could see one of the days of the son of man,

but you will not see it.

As the lightning flashes across the sky and
lights it up from one side to the other,

so will the son of man be on his day.

But first he must suffer much and be
rejected by the people of this day.

Blessed are the eyes which see
the things that you see!

For I tell you, many prophets and kings desired
to see what you see, and did not see it,

and to hear what you
hear and did not hear it.

What should we do?

What do the scriptures say?

How do you interpret them?

Love the lord your god with

all your heart,

with all your soul,

with all your strength,

and with all your mind.

And love your neighbor
as you love yourself.

You are right.

Do this and you will live.

Who is my neighbor?

Not those soldiers.

What about Caesar?

There was once a man going down
from Jerusalem to Jericho,

when robbers attacked him,

stripped him, beat him,
leaving him half dead.

It so happened that a priest came that way. When
he saw the man he walked by on the other side.

In the same way a levite also came there,

went over and looked at the man, and
then walked by on the other side.

But a despised samaritan who was traveling
on that road came across the man.

And when he saw him
his heart was filled with pity.

He went over to the man, poured oil and
wine on his wounds and bandaged them.

Then he put him on his own animal and took
him to an inn, where he took care of him.

The next day he gave the innkeeper two silver
coins, and he told him to look after the man.

"And when I come back," he said, “I will
pay you whatever else you spend on him."

Which one of these three acted like a neighbor
toward the man who was attacked by the robbers?

The one who was kind to him.

You, then, do the same.

Ahah!

Allow the little children to come
to me and do not forbid them,

for of such is the kingdom of god.

Truly, I say to you,

whoever does not receive the kingdom of god
like a little child will in no way enter in.

Whoever welcomes this child
in my name welcomes me,

and whoever welcomes me welcomes
the one who sent me.

For he who is least among
you all is the greatest.

Hey, what's happening? What's going on?

Jesus of nazareth is passing by.

Jesus!

Son of David, have mercy on me!

Son of David, have mercy, on me!

What do you want me to do for you?

I want to see again.

Then see.

Your faith has made you well.

I can see!

I can see!

I can see!

I can see! I can see! Ah! Ha! Ah!

As Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem,
large crowds met him everywhere.

People were asking him to show
them the way to salvation,

and to teach them more
about the kingdom of god.

This man truly is a prophet.

My master, save me!

Oh lord, save us, save us!

Praise the lord!

Show us the true way, lord!

That's the tax collector.

Hurry down, zaccheus,

for I must stay in your house today.

My house?

Who'd want to stay in his house?

How does zaccheus know Jesus?

Listen.

I will give

half of my belongings

to the poor,

and if I've

cheated anyone,

I will pay him back

four times as much.

I don't believe it, a tax collector paying
back his taxes! Impossible!

Salvation has come to this house today!

For this man also is a
descendant of Abraham!

The son of man came to
seek and to save the lost.

Listen.

We are going to Jerusalem,

where everything the prophets wrote
about the son of man will come true.

He will be handed over to the gentiles.

They will mock him,

and treat him shamefully,
and spit upon him.

He will be whipped and killed.

But on the third day,

he will rise.

Even though Jesus knew he was going
to be killed for the sins of mankind,

he resolutely took the road to Jerusalem.

He sent two of his disciples to bring a donkey. As
he rode along, the crowd rejoiced and praised god,

proclaiming Jesus as king.

Hosanna to the the son of David!

Blessed is the king who comes
in the name of the lord!

Our king is come! He comes!

Hosanna to the the son of David!

Teacher, command
your disciples to be quiet.

I tell you if they were to be quiet,

the stones themselves would begin shouting.

Peace in heaven and glory in
the highest! Open my eyes!

If only,

on this your day, you had known the path
for peace, but you have failed to see it.

The days will come when your enemies

will build ramparts to surround you and hem
you in, pressing hard from every side.

And within these walls
they will destroy you...

You and your children.

And they will not leave one
stone upon another in you,

because you did not recognize
the time of your visitation.

The holy temple in Jerusalem had become a
marketplace rather than a place of worship.

Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty, twenty-one, twenw-two, twenty-three...

Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven,
twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one...

Thirty-two, thirty-three,
thirty-four, thirty-five...

It is written,

"my house shall be a house of prayer,"

and you have turned
it into a den of thieves.

He's heading for my animals!

Stop him!

Stop him!

Get the guards! Get the guards!

I understand that many have
already hailed him as king.

A king?

A king of beggars, whores, and thieves.

We've seen his kind before.

They come, they make their claims, they go,

they're forgotten.

Don't be blind.

His following is growing by the day.

The people admire him.

And think he is a king.

Let me give you a warning.

If this man should
threaten the peace further,

I shall look to you.

Perhaps he's right.

It's time we confronted the galilean.

Day after day Jesus spoke against many of the
scribes and pharisees, saying they preached the law,

but did not follow the law themselves.

While in the temple, Jesus saw a very poor
widow offering two copper coins.

It's very little.

Can't she give more?

I tell you

that this poor widow put
in more than all the others.

For the others offered their gifts from
what they had to spare of their riches.

But she, poor as she is, put in
all that she had to live on.

Tell us,

what right do you have to say these things?

Who gave you such right?

Now let me ask you a question.

Tell me, did John's right to baptize
come from god or from man?

What shall we say?

If we were to say, "from god, “

he will say, "why, then,

don't you believe John?"

But if we say, "from man, “ this
whole crowd here will stone us.

They're all convinced
that John was a prophet.

We don't know where it came from.

Neither will I tell you then by
what right I do these things.

There was once a man
who planted a vineyard,

rented it out to tenants,

and then left home for a long time.

When the time came to gather the grapes,

he sent a slave to the tenants,

to receive from them
his share of the harvest.

But the tenants beat the slave and
sent him back without a thing.

So he sent another slave...

But the tenants beat him too, treated him
shamefully, and sent him back without a thing.

Then he sent a third slave. But the tenants
wounded him too, and threw him out.

Then the owner of the vineyard said to himself,
"what shall I do? I'll send my own dear son."

"Surely they will respect him."

But when the tenants saw him coming,
they said to one another,

"this is the owner's son.

Let's kill him and his
property will be ours."

Tell us more, lord!

So they threw him out of the vineyard,

and killed him.

What then will the owner of the
vineyard do to those tenants?

He will come and kill those men and give
the vineyard over to other tenants.

What then does this scripture mean?

“The stone which the
builders rejected as worthless,

turned out to be the
most important of all."

Everyone who falls on that
stone will be cut to pieces.

And if that stone falls on someone,

it will crush him to dust.

Teacher,

we know that what you
say and teach is right.

We know that you pay no attention
to man's status, but you

teach the truth about god's will for man.

Tell us,

is it against our law for us to pay taxes
to the Roman emperor or not?

Careful, lord, he's trying to trick you.

Show me a silver coin.

A silver coin?

Whose face and name are these on it?

Caesar!

Then give to Caesar

the things that are Caesar's,

and to god

the things that are god's.

What's your answer to that?

Now the festival of unleavened bread drew near,
during which the passover lamb would be sacrificed.

And Jesus sent Peter and John ahead
to prepare the passover meal.

I have wanted so much to eat this passover
meal with you before I suffer.

For I tell you,

I will not eat it again until it is given
its full meaning in the kingdom of god.

Blessed are you o lord, our god,

king of the universe,

who brings forth fruit from the vine.

Take this and share it among yourselves.

For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit
of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.

Blessed are you, o lord, our god,

king of the universe,

who brings forth bread from the earth.

This is my body which is given for you.

Do this in remembrance of me.

This cup is the new testament in
my blood, which is shed for you.

But, listen, the one who is going to
betray me is with me at the table.

And truly the son of man must
die as god has determined,

but woe unto that man
by whom he is betrayed.

Is it I?

Ask him which one he means.

Lord, who is it?

I will never leave you!

The greatest one among you
must be like the youngest,

and the leader must be like the servant.

For who is greater,

the one who sits down to eat,

or the one who serves?

The one who sits down, of course.

But I am among you as one who serves.

You have stayed with
me all through my trials.

And just as my father has
given me the right to rule,

so I will give you the same right.

You will eat and drink at
my table in my kingdom.

And you will sit on thrones to rule
over the twelve tribes of Israel.

Then there is no traitor.

Simon, Simon, behold,

Satan has desired to test all of you,

to separate you from your faith, as a
farmer separates the wheat from the chaff.

But I have prayed for you, Simon,
that your faith may not fail.

And when you have turned back to me,
you must strengthen your brothers.

Lord,

I am ready to go to prison with you,

and to die with you.

I tell you, Peter,

the cock will not crow this day before you
shall three times deny that you know me.

When I sent you out without purse or
bag or shoes, did you lack anything?

No, not a thing.

But now whoever has a
purse or a bag must take it,

and whoever has no sword must
sell his mantle and buy one.

For I tell you,

it is written in the scriptures, "and he
was counted among the sinners."

And what was written
about me is coming true.

Look,

here are two swords, lord.

Enough of this.

And the council of the elders met to see
how they might rid themselves of Jesus.

Then Satan entered into Judas iscariot,
who was one of the twelve.

He plotted with the elders to trap Jesus.

Jesus left Jerusalem and went
to the mount of olives to pray.

Pray that you may not
enter into temptation.

Judas iscariot betrayed Jesus
for only thirty pieces of silver.

Jesus knew that the hour of his death for the sins
of mankind was fast approaching; And he prayed.

Father,

if you are willing, take this cup from me.

Nevertheless, not my
will but yours be done.

And an angel from heaven appeared
to him to strengthen him.

And his sweat was like drops of
blood falling to the ground.

Why are you sleeping?

Get up,

and pray that you do
not fall into temptation.

Judas,

Is it with a kiss that you
betray the son of man?

Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

Come on, arrest him.

Enough of this!

A miracle!

Did you have to come with swords and
clubs as though I were an outlaw?

I was with you every day in the temple
and you did not try to arrest me.

But this is your hour to act,

when the power of darkness rules.

Arrest him!

Guard him well.

The soldiers took him into the courtyard
and mocked him as king of the Jews.

Here's a cloak worn by a king.

Tell us what's going to happen.

Are you going to save us, your majesty?
Are you going to save us?

This man too was with Jesus.

Woman, I don't even know him.

I saw them together.

Your humble servants.

How does it feel to look
up to somebody?

You are one of them, too.

But I am not.

There is no doubt that
this man was with Jesus,

because he is also a galilean.

Go away.

I don't know what you're... talking about.

Jesus turned and looked straight at Peter.

Then Peter remembered what
the lord had said to him:

"Before the cock crows today, you will say
three times that you do not know me."

Oh god,

be merciful to me.

Because of your constant love,

wash away my evil, and make me clean.

Truth,

it's what you require,
creates a pure heart in me.

O... god,

give me again,

the joy that comes,

from your salvation and make me willing,

to obey you.

Who hit you? Guess.

Prophesy! Who will hit you next?

Stop it!

Stop it, I said!

Bring him before the council.

Go!

The religious council of
elders met to question Jesus.

Tell us,

are you the Messiah?

If I tell you,

you will not believe me.

And if I ask you a question,
you will not answer me.

But from now on the son of man will be
seated at the right side of almighty god.

Are you, then,

the son of god?

You say that I am.

Who gives him the authority to say that?

Guilty!

We ourselves have heard what he said.

We will take him to pilate.

Away with him!
Yes, yes, away with him!

Move!

And they took him to pontius pilate, the
most vicious of all Roman governors.

Pilate himself had sentenced thousands of people
to a slow death by nailing them to wooden crosses.

And what do you want here,

at this hour of the morning?

We caught this man misleading our people.

He caused an uproar in the temple market.
We caught this man misleading our people.

He caused an uproar in the temple market.

What will be his punishment?

Sentence him!

I see no reason to
condemn this man, no reason.

We found him guilty,

telling them not to pay
taxes to the emperor,

claiming himself the Messiah,

a king.

A king?

Are you the king of the Jews?

So you say.

He began teaching in galilee
and now he has come here.

In galilee?

Is this man a galilean?

In that case,

we'll let herod deal with him.

He's still here in Jerusalem, isn't he?

Take him to herod!

Who is it that you say you are?

Who are those you call your disciples?

It is said by many you
can perform miracles.

Do something for me.

My lord,

he has been corrupting all the people.

He calls himself

the king.

This man?

A king?

Your majesty.

Strike him well.

Send him back to pilate.

This is his province.

This man

has done nothing to deserve death.

So I will have him whipped,

and let him go.

You are obliged to release one
man to us at this festival.

Release to us

barabbas.

Yes. Barabbas.

And away with this man.

Yes. Give us barabbas.

Crucify him!

Yes, crucify him!

You,

you,

whip him.

What are you waiting for, pilate?

He's Jesus!

Why do you torment him so?

Leave him, he is the Messiah!

He has done nothing wrong!

Lift him up!

So pilate passed the
sentence of death on Jesus.

He set free barabbas, the man they wanted, who
had been put in prison for riot and murder,

and he handed Jesus
over to them to be crucified.

Back!

Get away!

Back! Get off, you!

You! Get away!

Keep away from him!

Get back!

Get back!

Back!

Go, get away!

Make room!

Get out!

You, out of the way.

You move when I tell you!

Get up!

Get back!

You!

What's your name?

Simon of cyrene, sir.

Step over here!

Cut the ropes!

You, carry it.

Come on, move!

Back!

Back,

leave him!

Move on, clear the way there.

Back,

get back!

Get back!

We weep for you, lord,
we weep. Drink this, drink.

Yes, drink, lord.

Women of Jerusalem,

don't weep for me,

but weep for yourselves
and for your children.

For if such things as these take
place when the wood is green,

what will happen when it is dry?

God help you.

We will pray for you.

Move!

Down here!

Come!

Quicker,

quicker.

Now you, go!

Go on, keep up, quicker!

Come on!

Now move!

Move!

Now, you go ahead!

Go on now.

Get on with it.

Raise the cross!

You, put the peg in!

Support ropes loose!

Forgive them, father,

for they don't know what they're doing.

He has saved others;

let him save himself.

Yes, save yourself if you're the Messiah!
Come down from the cross.

Show us one of your miracles!

And Jesus was crucified between two
thieves in fulfillment of prophecy,

as had been predicted hundreds of years
before by the prophets of god.

This is no ordinary mystic's garment.

Here! Let go! No, don't
tear it! I'll tell you what:

Let's play for this!

Ah, you're so lucky! What will you do
with it now that you've won it, eh?

And a sign was placed above his head that
read, “this is the king of the Jews."

Save yourself if you
are the king of the Jews.

Aren't

you

the Messiah?

Save

yourself,

and... and us.

Don't you fear god?

We received the same sentence

he did,

but he has done no wrong.

Remember me, Jesus,

when you... when you come as king.

I promise you,

today you will be in paradise

with me.

It was now noon and a darkness fell across
the whole land for three hours.

The curtain of the temple was
torn right down the middle.

Father,

into your hands

I commit

my spirit.

Now when the captain of the soldiers saw
what had happened, he praised god, saying:

Glory be to god! Certainly
this was a righteous man.

Joseph of arimathea, an honorable member of
the council who had not consented to this deed,

obtained permission from pontius
pilate to lay Jesus' body in a tomb

before the sabbath began at sundown.

I have prepared a tomb for the teacher.
I would like to take his body.

You can take it.

Forgive us. We are
following the body of our lord.

All are welcome.

But hurry,

the sabbath is approaching, come, come.

They went back home and prepared
the spices for the body.

On the sabbath day they rested
as commanded by the law.

Very early on Sunday morning, they came to the
tomb carrying the spices they had prepared.

Why do you seek the living among the
dead? He is not here, but is risen.

Remember what he said to you
while he was in galilee:

"The son of man will be handed over to sinful men,
be crucified, and on the third day rise again."

Listen!

The stone was rolled away!

We entered,

and the body of our lord was

gone.

And two men appeared to us;

angels, shining,

like the sun.

And said to us,

"why do you look for the living

among the dead?"

It's true.

Believe us.

Believe us.

We saw them! Go and see for yourself! The
tomb was empty! Our lord was gone!

Peter you must believe us!

The lord is risen indeed!

He has appeared to Simon!

We didn't recognize him;

not on the road.

But when he broke bread,

then we knew him.

At emmaus.

How strange he should go there.

Peace be with you.

Why're you troubled?

Why are these doubts
coming up in your minds?

Look

at my hands and my feet,

and see that it is I myself.

Feel me and you will know.

For a spirit has not flesh
and bones as you see I have.

These are the very things I spoke to
you about while I was still with you,

that everything written about
me in the law of Moses

and the writings of the prophets and
the psalms had to come true.

This is what is written:

The Messiah must suffer,

and rise from the dead on the third day,

and in his name

the message of repentance and the forgiveness
of sins must be preached to all nations,

beginning in Jerusalem.

You are witnesses of these things.

I myself will send you the one
my father has promised.

But you must wait in the city

until the power from above
comes down upon you.

The lord bless you and keep you.

All power is given to me
in heaven and in earth.

Go, then, and teach all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the father,
and of the son, and of the holy spirit,

teaching them to observe all things
I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always,
even to the end of the world.

In the holy scriptures, god declared the Messiah
would come to be the savior of the world.

The life of Jesus gives evidence that he is
indeed the one the prophets spoke about.

Isaiah prophesied that, the virgin will
conceive a child and will give birth to a son.

Centuries later, the birth of Jesus was
the fulfillment of that prophecy.

The holy scriptures declared that the holy
one to be born would be called the son of god.

This means that Jesus was to be called
the son of god in a spiritual sense.

We see this in how he lived his life.

He healed people from
disease, forgave their sins,

turned them back to god and promised
them a place in god's eternal kingdom.

He offered himself as a sacrifice for sin in
their place and then Rose again, conquering death.

Jesus said, no one can take my life from
me. I lay it down of my own accord.

The life of Jesus not only fulfilled
the writings of the prophets,

but also confirmed the
truth of god's holy word.

The prophets declared, the word of the lord
is flawless, your word, oh, lord, is eternal.

Jesus himself said, heaven and earth will
pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Jesus came to give
us life in all its fullness.

But when man disobeyed god in the garden
of Eden, he chose to go his own way,

and his actions separated
him from the creator.

The holy scriptures declare that all have
sinned and the payment for sin is death.

This means a spiritual death,
eternal separation from god.

But just as god provided a ram to
die in place of Abraham's son,

so he sent Jesus the
Messiah to die in our place.

His life, death and resurrection

restored the relationship between god and
all those who put their trust in him.

Now, those who follow Jesus not only have their sins
forgiven, but are saved from god's eternal judgment.

They are assured of paradise and
will live with him forever.

It is this life and freedom from the guilt and
power of sin that Jesus offers each person today.

This does not mean following a religion, but
choosing to have faith in Jesus who says,

I stand at the door and knock.

If anyone hears my voice and opens
the door, I will come into him.

This means turning to god and trusting Jesus
to come into our lives, to forgive our sins

and to make us what he wants us to be.

It is not enough to intellectually agree with
his claims, nor to have an emotional experience.

We receive him by grace through
faith as an act of the will.

When people are ready to become
followers of Jesus the Messiah,

they may speak to him in a simple prayer.

Perhaps you are ready
now to open your life to god.

If so, you may join in the following prayer
to him silently in your heart;

lord Jesus, I need you.

Thank you for dying
on the cross for my sins.

I confess and repent of my sins.

I open the door of my life and receive
you as my savior and lord.

Thank you for forgiving my sins
and giving me eternal life.

Make me the kind of
person you want me to be,

as I become one of your followers.

Amen.

Jesus said about his followers, my sheep recognize
my voice. I know them, and they follow me.

In order to experience the abundant
life which Jesus promised,

his followers talk to god each day in
prayer and read or listen to his word.

They tell others about him and meet
regularly with those who love and follow him.

Remember his wonderful promise:

All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Low,
I am with you always, even to the end of the world.
