Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wonderful movie about The Lord Jesus Christ. A lot of top actors for every role. The devil tried to stop Jesus from doing everything good and tried to kill Him, but he could not. Faith in Jesus Christ is well worth it in our lives. Jesus changed a lot of people for good. It would show the children being killed in a way but mostly in shadows and no blood as the soldiers were under Herod’s orders to kill the children trying to find Jesus. Pontius Pilate having Jesus and Barabbas standing by each other as he asked the people who could go free. Jesus was nailed to the cross. Barabbas was freed. It is closer to what happened to all the miracles He did for people. He did suffer for us and if we believe in Him we can be saved.

A very inspirational 4 part tv mini series from 1977. I own a huge library of many different genres, over 500 movies, my religious collection consists of only a few re: Kingdom of Heaven, Passion of the Christ, The 10 Commandments, and now Jesus of Nazareth. There are of course no commercials, it's 4:3 HD resolution (I was very sad it was not 1:85 full Wide screen format, but, being a made for TV event it was there choice). I'm in my 50's so when I was young, my parents would watch many of the different religious movies from the 50's 60's and 70's when they came to local TV stations. I only remember bits and pieces of some of them, as I was a small child, The Ten Commandments stuck in my head because of the parting of the red sea, which for that time was a special effect that stood out and wowed many people in the 50's. I have a strong faith in Jesus, but I don't go to church, I watched this movie over Easter weekend it ran something like 6 hours 24 minutes, I don't remember seeing this as a kid, but as an adult, I was floored at how unbelievably beautifully acted, no great special effects, no stage present, just outside land and towns, country side, it never felt boring to me and I found myself unable to stop watching until the end credits. Wow, from before Jesus birth to after his resurrection it truly is an inspirational and complete look into his life and I was captivated from start to finish, when it ended the first thing I did was to try and find it on Blu-ray or Dvd, which I did here at Best Buy for an excellent price, I cannot rave enough on how excellent this movie is and the acting not being over the top stage play theatrics, but grounded and subtle and beautifully done in my absolute and only honest opinion.

This mini series was originally broadcast in 1977. It was directed by the acclaimed Franco Zeffirelli, and has an outstanding cast! It's the life of Jesus Christ brilliantly portrayed by Robert Powell. This film is presented with depth, gravity, and deep emotion. This is one of the finest depictions of the story of Christ. You must see this film!

Probably the Greatest film ever made on the life of Jesus! Yes, there are hundreds of films on him, but this film by far is the best! No actor has ever captured the perfect image of Jesus, until now!

I remember watching this movie as a child on one of those "old" TV's...this one is as crisp as it'll ever be, and I am happy I bought the blue ray version. Still enjoy watching the movie!

By far this is the best movie portraying Jesus. I know they’re mini series but still, I absolutely love it!!!

The most important film I've ever seen. A 6 hour opus of Jesusness! Masterpiece. 70's movies were the rawest and realest (as the kids say).

We did not view this miniseries when it first aired. We are so glad we have now enjoyed this outstanding presentation. Great cast!

I remember watching the TV series as soon as kid with my family. Brought back memories.

My Mom used to play this entire series with a stellar cast every year around Easter. The best adaptation so far in my book.

This is from the old mini-seires aired on television. It is one of the best renditions of the Jesus story with a great cast. This version is far clearer than the previous DVD release and worth a look.

I love this mini series, I love that it shows you everything concerning the life of the Son of the ONE true GOD

I really like this movie and was glad to see it in Blu-ray. Too bad it is full screen and not widescreen.

We appreciate the opportunity to purchase DVD’s locally and not online. Thanks for you stocking them.

This is an excellent movie that stays very close to the bible. It is a must see for all Christians.

Had both these movies on VHS but the blu-ray quality is so much better - just had to buy them -

This is one of the best religious movies and a classic - beautiful music and very inspiring

This movie is amazing! The best one he looks so much like the pictures of Jesus

This was just the video I needed for my purpose in teaching CCD classes.

Couldn’t wait to get a copy of this movie for my collection.
