No actor in Hollywood or anywhere else can perform the role as Jesus Christ ,like Robert Powell in Jesus of Nazareth. The greatest actor ever

This movie was divinely inspired.

The most magnificent, perfect film about Jesus...ever.

Not sure if Robert Powell is aware of this fact, but his portrayal of Lord Jesus Christ brought millions and millions to repentance and Christ as Savior..On top of that it brought glory, honor, and praise to God almighty till the end of time and beyond. Well done Robert Powell, even if you aren't aware of the glory you brought to God, He sees what you have done for Him and will never forget it.

This was by far the best authentic portrayal from the scenery, clothing, biblical text and storylines. Always my favorite.

Every year since childhood and I am now 53, I always watch this every Lenten season and during times of desolation, to find comfort in Jesus' sacrifice and healing words.

I was a young teenager when this serial was televised. I can remember it having a profound effect upon me and my family. I can even remember discussing it with friends at school who were equally enamered. Imagine that, teenagers discussing Jesus! I became a Christian later in life in '85 but even now certain scenes and scriptures from this have stayed with me. Zefferelli was certainly inspired with this masterpiece, thank you and rest in peace.

Glory glory glory to JESUS Christ son of God, the way, the truth and the life for ever and ever amen

It's just the Best movie! An absolute masterpiece! Better than Hollywood !!! God Bless You All!!💜✝️

My child, who is 21 years old, saw Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth, and said this is the best depiction of Christ, Mary, and the Apostles imaginable!! I agree!! I saw this movie when I was younger and I will never forget it!! Robert Powell played Jesus impeccably! I actually was able to find the movie on DVD and it is one of my most prized possessions.. Thank you, Mr. Zeffitelli, may God bless you and your family always! Praise be to our Lord Jesus!

I loved this movie when it first came out and I still love it! I watch it every year. It stands the test of time.

Maestro Zeffirelli was truely inspired by a Higher Being to make this film. Every actor , from Olivia Hussey to Ian McShane ,no actor was miscast . Thank you for giving the world a wonderful cinematic image, I wish this film was shown on TV more often.

What a beautiful and soul saving movie. I watch it every Easter...I found through out the movie symbols of Hope and Faith. Robert Powell represented Jesus the best.

An absolute MASTERPIECE!

it is so simple beautiful and caring, I cried at this scene, Really love when Jesus hugging Peter and John. and says ‘dont be afraid, I always be with you till the end of time’ for me this one of the best movie of Jesus life. no 1 I belief. thanks mr zefirelli dan all the casts. 😊

It's most definitely a classic! It's perhaps my favorite movie of all time. There are many anointed scenes in this six hour plus movie that bring in the reality of who Jesus Christ is and what He has done for us.

Thank you for making this movie ! I am one of the faithful who believes !

Thank you Mr Jeffireli for giving humanity this incomparable masterpiece

Wonder of a film director ... RIP Mr. Zeffirelli ...many thanks

There will never be another one like him. He was brilliant and truly the Master of Cinema.

Il miglior Gesù di Nazareth di tutti i tempi Grazie, Franco Zeffirelli, grazie maestro 🙏

God Bless You always Mr Zefireli you are the best Director for this movie to me is not a movie is the real Bible all this actors acting fantastic and they look the same as in Icons nothing mistake everything was exactly how was written to put 50 stars in one movie is amazing and Jesus to me is real I see up to 100 time and I still watched is the same feeling crying and emotional

My favorite movie about jesus

Wow! Quite nice. I enjoyed watching this. Quite inspiring. God orders our steps and we should allow Him. Happy Easter!

Powell had the haunting face of a holy man our Savior.✝️👍

Jesus is the never ending story...

He found the perfect ending. Love this movie, the best ever about the gospel.

I think Robert Powell played an excellent part of the real way Jesus was in Biblocal times. From the way he looked to dressed and even may look like him a bit. Thanks to the wonderful Mr Powell for his wonderful gifted part he gave us.

Multi Bene!!!! I have several copies of this spectacular film. I’m have been watching it for over forty years, every year, once🙏🙏🙏

Der beste Jesus Film,den es gibt!Robert Powell als Jesus ist großartig und absolut überzeugend!Ein Werk zur Ehre Gottes,wunderbar‼️❤️‼️

que buena pelicula , es larga pero de buena calidad y muy buenos actores.

Well I'm glad Franco went with the test shot of Jesus saying farewell cause it's beautiful made me cry and touched my heart many times over the years ☺☺☺

I’m so pleased to see this explanation. I had often thought how sad it was that the most important part The Resurrection had been virtually left out of the film. Now I understand and it’s ok.

Forever and Eternal, The living GOD in every frame of this film.This film helped in the formation of the spiritual person i am. I truly believe that God directed this film through his child, Franco Zeffirelli. What a lasting legacy this work is. Bless you maestro Zeffirelli.

It is hard to talk about this movie.This is much more than a simple movie.

What a masterpiece. Magical is the wrong word, it's just amazing and so mysical.

I will always follow Christ ,Amen

Zeffirelli ha umilmente ammesso, da uomo di fede, i limiti della cinematografia nel realizzare "Gesù di Nazaret". Proprio per questo motivo il film è stato fatto molto bene. Quando ammetti la debolezza e i propri limiti, Dio ti da la forza che supera te stesso.

A MASTERPIECE..!!!

Только Дзеффирелли мог ТАК подбирать актеров на роли Иисуса, Ромео, Джульетты. Лучше, чем эти лица не найти!

Seeing this, now I know that Franco Zeffirelli was well aware of the weight of directing a film about Jesus; and while he tried his best to do so, he admits that there are things he cannot accurately portray (he can, but it's "risky"), so he'd rather ditch it rather than to show it and botch it. But divine providence guided him, even in the final minutes of production, to come up with an amazing film.

Best Jesus interpretation ever.

Grateful for sharing this BEAUTIFUL creativity of yours RESPECT FROM GREECE TO YOU

This is a masterpiece the only masterpiece, this is a documentary, simple, no movie, im sure God watched over you to fullfil this job.

Best movie ever made ..

Mr Zeffirelli has earned his place in Heaven. He walked right in. This masterpiece made for TV! has done more for conversions to Christ than many churches have.

This was a masterpiece of work.

👏👏 Excelente versión, ha quedado como un gran clásico de la Vida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo 🛐🕎

When my son passed away I had to watch the scene from the sermon on the mount. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. That line and the way it was said brought me alot of comfort. My son was sick for a long time and he loved this movie. He said he wants to be a saint. That you Robert Powell for doing such a great job

I love this part he has really nice eyes

What a marvellous picture!! I have always feel gread admiration for all this actor, where cosen by God itself.

Adoro esta película creo que es la que más se asemeja a nuestro Señor adoro está película

Such truth...I fell in love with my wife prior to ever meeting her. due to the distance we talked on line we never even talked on the phone..but she as I both felt the love in between us ...when we finally met in person we finalized the deal in a second. We all have a relationship with christ that is individual.....I believe that's how Christ wants it.

❤❤😍ti amo tanto Gesù!sono innamorata di te!

che classe! la vera Fede lo ha portato a tralasciare quella scena cosi banale, come ha ben detto lui stesso... una manifestazione di cosi immensa importanza universale non puo' essere rappresentata da nessun regista al mondo, come lui ha spiegato, per questo era davvero il piu' grande regista di tutti i tempi.

I love this❤

Thanks

Il mioglior film dei tempi , bellissimo,❤

I think this is the one I have been asking you to send through email. Thank you so much for uploading it. if you have more documentary about this please keep uploading. I will watch it. Thank you again. God bless you, Franco and Robert Powell. 🙏

I love it awesome clothes the way he portrayed as Jesus of Nazareth Robert Powell I admire you the best acting actor as excellent and have a beautiful face especially your eyes that you have the holy spirit to look like Jesus Christ ❤❤❤😍👌👍👍 Watching from Phil's 🇵🇭

Amazing. God bless you

Excellent explanation and I thoroughly concur.

Lubie jak pokazuja nagrywanie scen w filmie super

Give glory to GOD and his only son JESUS, Zaffirelli must have had a lot of faith spiritually and religious to do this film wow, and also the actor who played Jesus must have the same thing to do this movie. Very moving film! Thank you!!

Get the Blu-Ray remastered version, it's woth it 100 times.

Love it my favorite

Grazie x l' intervista pubblicata!

Eu vejo Jesus nesse ator ..ele sempre me emociona .

Queste film con Il Vangelo secondo Matteo sono le sue meliori versioni della vita d’il Signore e sono d’accordo con Zeffireli in spiegare il Risorto🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Bellisimo!

I love this movie, watch it every year during the Easter season. I think he made the right decision on the ending, however I wish we could have an alternate ending option to view the other resurrection scene.

And to think that Dustin Hoffman was offered the role of Jesus and declined. WOW! It just wasn’t meant to be...

Oh, that ending! The Holy Spirit cooperated!

Il numero uno di Gesù di Nazareth...bravo Zeffirelli e bono attore che interpreta Gesù.👏👏🤭😍😍🥰🥰😘😘😘👍🤟

The most beautiful version of Jesus Christ ❤

Felicito infinitamente al señor Zeffirelli ,admiro su capacidad para haber hecho esta espectacular pelicula,hay escenas que no se borraran de mi mente y no me canso de verla ,que fenomeno ,para mi Dios lo inspiro ,bendiciones ...

Grazie Franco Zeffirelli che sei stato ispirato da Dio a punto di creare un film che è diventato un classico intramontabile, incancellabile ed hors concurs❤

Robert Powell did an outstanding job, but all the Jesus films offer unique perspectives into Jesus's life and each film gives different qualities of Jesus that others don't. So I watch them all and get the full picture of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's life.

such restraint, respect and good taste is the hallmark of mastery of craft. Good to see. However I think the shroud gives many indications now on how to depict the radiance of the resurrection...

Risen is right there with it! And the greatest story ever told

Kocham. Cię. Panie. Jezu. Pozdrawiam. Ojca. Świętego

Zeffirelli should have included a Resurrection scene in this movie.... The movie is now incomplete without it... A resurrection scene can still be added to this fine movie and I hope it happens... Jesus's face does not have to be shown after He leaves the tomb...

Questo film è una vera opera d, arte. Robert Powell è uguale come Gesù nelle icone.. Poi la sua recita è maestrale!!!!!! Una distribuzione d, oro, dalla A alla Z!!! E Franco Zeffirelli un grande direttore.. RIP 🙏💐

Zefferelli is magnificent. A handsome blonde! I bet some would guess Zefferelli to be dark haired, dark-eyed. Nope. There are blonde Italians, blonde Jews.-- What a cast he had.

I ' veseen this series, it's the best series over Jesus I've ever seen

wow very interesting to see under which consideration the director went through. I think he made the right choice in the end

A brilliant director!

Anyone who has an older Pre digital ( dvd or streaming) version as in the VHS will have this final scene still for the most part in the movie/ series. Older people definitely remember this part. When you see a short documentary about them cutting a scene it was NOT the scene that is being presented. It may have been slightly shortened But that ending scene of Jesus with the disciples and saying that He will be with us was absolutely in it.

The difficulty he describes is true, but surely something better than the limp ending that was ultimately used could have been done. After six hours of setup, the viewer deserves at least an Ascension scene.

Muy buena película hasta el momento no es superada ,ojalá con el tiempo agreguen esas escenas de la resurrección, porque en si ,se notaba el corte de la resurrección ,porque Jesús aparece en la escena hablando con sus discípulos como despedida

Wow!!!

When I saw the film, I wondered why it showed the empty grave, cut to this scene, then went back to the empty grave for the credits. Now that I know that Jesus was to be shown resurrected first and then we see Zerah looking at the empty grave, that scene seems to have been written as a poetic ending right before credits. As far as the film's editing structure goes, "Peter consoling the disciples 👉 Jesus showing up 👉 Zerah's last line" was the best way to go. To portray the best message, though, the film as-is (Peter's consolation 👉 Zerah's last line 👉 Jesus saying farewell) is superior.

JESUS IS RISEN ! HalleluYah! Now we are waiting for HIS return on the clouds to rapture His bride .. in faith! MARANATHA! ❤

I still have a problem with the ending. I wanted a risen Christ. Because he was new and spiritual.

Jesus from the Bible was a lot more different than this one or any other movie made about his persona, his character. He was a strong man, with a powerful presence, spoke with such command that people was left in astonishment of how he would speak about any topic and especially about the Kingdom of God!. He wasn't a fragile man or someone under the spell of something. This movie was ok in my book, but it showed the messiah in a way that was quite far from what the gospels mention about him. Zeffirellis Jesus needed to be a much stronger character.

Amen 🙏 ❤️

Muy buena pelicula es la unica película de Jesús que vemos se ve que el espíritu santo estaba con ese actor es muy Real pasan los años y ha sido la mejor. Es incomparable.viva cristo y maria

Jesús is already on earth
