Robert Powell as Jesus Christ is the most memorable perfomance of Christ. I'm 63. I was a teen when this movie debuted. I've seen a lot of movies about the Life of Christ. Powell's performance and the entire movie, "Jesus of Nazareth," are the best depictions. I feel I am right there in the presence of these Biblical characters. Thank you, Robert Powell, for such an epic performance. Thank you, Jesus, for saving us. 🧡🧡🙏🙏
Given that this has always been a classic since I can remember, I can only imagine what it must have been like to witness it on the screen for the very first time when it was released, I'm sure it was breathtaking and wonderful.
Robert Powell actually was so affected by this that he took time out and eventually went and walked the path that Jesus walked exploring the history of our ONE TRUE SAVIOUR WHO DIED BUT CAME BACK TO SHOW HIS WORD IS TRUE...LORD COME SOON ..AMEN.
The only part of this movie that was disappointing for me was when John the Baptist only sprinkled water on Jesus. A true baptism is done by full immersion. 🙏
When I think of a image of Jesus, I see Powell and seeing Powell to me looks almost exactly of the divine mercy image. This is by far the number one movie of Jesus in my opinion
We love you Lord Jesus Christ and others very much thank you for being in our lives and thank you for forgiving us all of sin thank you for dying on the cross and rise from the grave thank you for loving and caring for us all heaven is our home now and forever always we belong to you Lord Jesus Christ now and forever always we believe in you Lord Jesus Christ and Trust and obey you and Obey your commandments Amen Hallelujah hallelujah praise God for everything you say and do for us all 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤ my name is Sharon
This is the BEST JESUS, among all other actors. This Jesus has that compassion, that forgiveness, that love in his eyes. This is exactly how JESUS is is! LOVE YOU, JESUS!
He is the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody goes to the Father except through him and him alone. He shed his blodd to free us of our Sins including you Mehdi. For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son. He laid down his life willfully to provide a way of escape for us. Believe in him and what he did on Calvary and you will be saved if you mean it. It is not too late to be saved. He is real and alive today and you can have a relationship with him and know him. You can see him move on your behalf if you believe.
As an atheist, I agree. Directed by the great Franco Zeffirelli. It's a simple but elegant and straightforward telling of the gospels, beautifully filmed and acted. Doesn't mean it's true, though. All praise to the Flying Spaghetti Monster! 🍝
@@jerometaperman7102 Search Athiests that now believe in Jesus and watch their youtube videos as they share why they now believe. Jesus is the one who can show you he is real and he died for you like he did for the rest of mankind. It is up to you to seek him to see if he is real. Just doing it to do it is not enough because he knows your heart and motivations. Seek him with all of your heart and I promise you will find him and will no longer be an athiest. I pray you decided to search for him and mean it because he is real I am an example. He delivered me personally from drugs and alcohol living on the street and gave me a wife and a home. He is real so seek him out while there is yet time:P
Robert Powell’s Jesus is the most human Jesus ever portrayed on film. Particularly in this sequence. It’s all in the eyes, they express so much sadness.
@colleen Fair enough. I'll always love Powell, although I always thought his Jesus was too ethereal. I also think Zeferelli pussied out on the Passion scenes. I've seen more blood after a catfight in a junior school playground.
I love the whole movie, but this part is SO touching and almost always makes me cry! Beautiful! Thank you, precious Jesus, for what you did for us all!
I have loved this movie since it was first broadcast in 1977 here in the UK. I would watch it every Easter and bought it on video when it was first released. Today I have it on dvd. My dad loved it and so do i. I believe that the 4 gospel accounts actually happened and are true. Before I was born Dad had been to holy land and told me all about it. Gran was a Salvation army officer and had a lot of love to give me like dad did.
Yes and the First Holy Mass. Also, Jesus became at that moment the High and only priest on earth. The rest of the magisterium are assistants. God Bless brothers!
Proof Eucharist is body of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary is his mother. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;z 50this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a 52The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?” 53Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.b 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” Eucharistic miracle.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-soCkftBBsBo.html (medical reports-living heart tissue, blood type AB) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oogJ-cdi7yI.html (Rome Reports) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-whbzLYi7cyc.html (Lanciano) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6PJ8BORx1p8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bd16tBRbLXw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_OCBvyujouc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PvxTDAVypxs.html (levitating eucharist) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K_dfSiBkzZU.html ( church lighting up) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RJe5ng_m83o.html ( beating heart) Incorruptible bodies of saints due to the Eucharist - only happens in the Catholic church.

This may not be Jeremy Sisto, but Jesus appears very human between the last supper and the crucifixion scene. The fear and the sadness are very apparent in this scene.
GREETINGS FROM #PHILIPPINES, TO WATCH THE BIBLE SERIES, JESUS OF NAZARETH OVER & OVER AGAIN THIS DURING HOLY WEEK!!! GOD BLESS US ALL!!! 😍😍😍😍😇😇😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This movie is so Jewish you have to be circumcised to watch it and naturally the dvd eliminates most of this beautiful scene because they don't want to show Judas betraying Our Blessed Lord. I was very disappointed. Im glad you posted it.
Still wanting to see more in the acting of the "and Satan entered him " after the bread. Could you imagine how dramatic that would be knowing that the king of the universe and Satan can be in the same room at the same time
A new covenant with God. A new Commandment. A new meaning for Passover. The importance of the Gospel explained here. So much going on in this scene. The entire "Jesus of Nazareth" series is just superb.
Jesus gave us another Commandment! You should Love one Another as I have Love you. Why isn't this taught and preached more? Not Ten Commandments, but Eleven! Imagine the world if we just honored that Commandment?
I love how he is so humble and ordinary and so are the disciples. Zeffirelli is a great director who collaborated with Pasolini who made another great film called “The Gospel of Matthew”. That is another one very worth watching about the life of Christ.
The first 5 minutes and 30 seconds seems to be the scene most of Us never saw on the original 2-Disc DVDs, but from 5 minutes and 30 seconds onwards from here at 5:30 , it all adds up here from the deleted scene We all see from the start of this video!
I Consender Jesus of Nazareth One of CHRIST Movies of Allllllllllllllllll Time !!! Robert Powell Is Also Very Partray of JESUS!!! Its 9:33 Am Here in Muncie, Indiana On April 18,024 !!!!
AMF/PK: | Vincent - YES God Almighty I Trust And Believe You Have Strengthened , Restored And Redeemed Me With Your Devine Love through Lord Jesus Christ And The Power Of Holy Spirit With Financial , Official And Spiritual Victories ; Amen GLORY TO GOD | .
Love you always Jesus Christ. I believe you died for our sins was buried and rose again the 3rd day by which we are saved, 1 Corinthians 15 1-4kjv. I also believe God the Father raised you Jesus Christ from the dead by whom you were delivered for our offences and raised again for our justification, Romans 4 24-25kjv.
O , my , JESUS , you are so beautiful ❤ I love you , my , JESUS , with ALL my heart and Soul ❤ And I belong to You , my , JESUS , heart and Soul forever and ever and ever - AMEN ❤
thank you God for sending Christ Jesus yours only son in this earth ,so that we can live as per his words,teachings n guidance n direction of his holy spirit... Thanking you deeply from my Spirit man, Amen👃❤👃❤
Even the streaming services have this scene cut out. It makes no sense whatsoever! Why cut this crucial scene? It cuts to where Judas walks out the room and the Supper continues, the beginning is gone!
Even the scene of Peter’s denial and the crowing of the cock/rooster relied on this scene. It even negates any need for the “Peter, do you love Me? Feed My sheep/lambs” scene. It’s just so crucial because both men beside Him will commit a sin and feel guilty afterwards.
I was in high school when this movie was released for television and my family watched it together when we could. It has by far some of the best scenes from the Bible. Zefferelli also did "Brother Sun, Sister Moon," about St.Francis and St. Clare which had even more dramatic scenes such as the healing of the Pope. The Television series effected my life and I held it up as the primary movie about the Lord and the Christian testament. The filming was hit and miss at times like most large productions. I came to realize there were scenes that did not work well for various reasons including spiritual warfare dynamics on the set including unclean spirits. The movie took it's toll on Mr. Powell and likely the rest which is a sign that they gave it due honor. But the scenes that worked are the most powerful ever done and are not acting but very real as if the Lord showed up Himself! When I want to get an image of Jesus in my mind, I watch a few scenes tht bring the Bible to life with the powerful music like the raising of Lazarus.
Why was this entire scene not included in the Anniversary Edition Series? I want the original film in its entirety to include the cut John the Baptist scene, and when Jesus was in the desert being tempted by Lucifer. It is so irritating to see so many important scenes cut from the movie. Why???
Eu nu apreciez deci care te-au tradat❤ Isuse scump tu ești puterea dar❤ toate astea cei care te-au trădat în halul asta❤ va avea de suferit și ei dragul meu isus❤ scup și nevinovat❤ amin amin❤
Ladies and gentlemen: here is my observation. The Supper was the final stage of the journey with Jesus. In the mortal sense. The union of the old and new . The symbolic farewell to the flesh of the human messianic figure . The metaphoric precursor to crucifixion of the tearing of the unleavened bread ( tearing of the flesh and clothing of Jesus) the raising of the bread prior to tearing it is raising the cross. Jesus is at first quoting the torah , and introducing the new ideals of his own eventual religion...that would be Christianity... The idea of eat and drink in remembering me is Jesus saying I and my father are within those who believe....
