Jesus of Nazareth

Drama98 min per episode

In Roman-occupied Judea, the life of Jesus unfolds from his birth through his ministry, as he gathers followers, teaches in towns and along the countryside, and challenges religious hypocrisy and human cruelty with mercy and faith. His words draw the poor, the sick, and the hopeful, but they also alarm authorities who see his growing influence as a threat. As his miracles and teachings spread, pressure builds from political rulers and religious leaders, driving the story toward betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion. Robert Powell stars at the center of a sweeping retelling that follows the Gospel story through suffering, death, and resurrection, with direction by Franco Zeffirelli.
