Plot

In Israel/Palestine/Jordan, then known as Judea (Roman province) of the Roman Empire, Jesus Christ of Nazareth travels around the country with His disciples preaching to the people about God and salvation of their souls. As prophesied in the Old Testament books, he was born of the virgin, Mary. He performed great miracles while spreading the gospel of hope and peace as the son of God and the Messiah who can save men from eternal death if they believed in Him. He is then arrested by the Romans and crucified. He rises from the dead after three days.
