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.

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. 🧡🧡🙏🙏

To me this is the best movie of Jesus Robert Powel did a outstanding performance

The person playing Jesus should have won an Oscar.

Many actors have portrayed Jesus from Willem DeFoe to Jim Caviezel but Robert Powell has always been my personal favorite.

Thank you Father for sending Jesus

This was the first Communion. The bread truly became the body of Christ. Absolutely amazing.

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

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.

Forgive us JESHUA for we are not worthy.♡

Jesus of Nazareth is the best movie about Jesus hands down it's the best 👌!!

i watch this movie every Easter during the Holy Week. It's my favorite movie about Jesus!

I love the whole movie, but this part is SO touching and almost always makes me cry! Beautiful!

As a Muslim, I have to say that this is my favorite rendition of Christ’s life.

This is the BEST JESUS, among all other actors.

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.

I am the way, the truth and the life.

One of the movies that I have watched so many times during my childhood

Yes I love these movies so much thank you God for giving us your very precious son

The way Jesus looks at Judas, just before announcing that one of them is about to betray him. It's like he's thinking "Yes I know It'll be you Judas".
