witnessed as a young man. As his story unfolds, the centuries melt away
and we are intimately involved in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Share
the mystery and wonder of his birth. Witness Jesus' baptism and temptation
in the wilderness, then experience the compassion and hope of the 
Sermon on the Mount. Walk with Jesus through Galilee as he calls his disciples
and performs the first miracles. Listen to his world-changing message of
love and redemption. This deeply moving presentation of these most widely
published and loved stories stars stage and screen luminary Richard Kiley
as "Old Matthew" and gifted newcomer Bruce Marchiano as "Jesus". This is
told using the full unedited text of the Bible, the most historically documented
of all ancient texts, using the New International Version. This unique
presentation brings to the screen a divine yet warmly human Jesus. Script
Matthew Ch 1:1 - 9:1 NIV Bible
revolutionary concept of inner morality that brings increasing conflict
with the religious establishment of his day. Walk the dusty roads and lush
fields with Jesus. Reach a new understanding of his tenderness. Gain a
fresh insight into how he trained his disciples for their mission and ultimate
persecution. Experience Jesus' compassion and warm humanity as he responds
to the needs of ordinary people by feeding 5,000 in the desert. Relive
the late night terror and drama as the disciples see Jesus walking on the
water ... and Peter's impulsive reaction. Feel the love and patience of
Jesus when he reprimands him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Script
Matthew Ch 9:2 - 14:36 NIV Bible
companion is, indeed, the long-awaited "Messiah" (the "Christ" or "Anointed
One"). Jesus' prediction of his own death and the glory of his transfiguration
cause both devastation and awe in his disciples. Hear the scandal when
a woman comes to Jesus at a party and pours an expensive perfume over his
head. Alarmed at his growing popularity and outraged by his revolutionary
message, the religious authorities question and attack Jesus at every turn.
In righteous zeal, an angry Jesus cleanses the temple, overturning the
tables of the money changers. Then a compassionate Jesus grieves over his
own people. Feel the emotion when he weeps, "Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem ...".
Actor Bruce Marchiano, in a unique portrayal, draws us into the drama and
emotion of the life of Christ. Experience the tension and intrigue as Jesus
sets the scene for the traumatic final days. Script
Matthew Ch 15:1 - 23:39 NIV Bible
Gethsemane. Share the pain of Judas' betrayal and Peter's unforgettable
denial. Stand at his side as he faces the might of Rome and the rejection
of his own people. Richard 
Kiley, playing the role of Matthew, leads us through the events at Golgotha.
Feel the trauma and joy as the anguish of the cross is transformed by the
amazing glory of Jesus then being raised to life. This vivid portrayal
of the Gospel of Matthew ends triumphantly with Jesus' last command and
the promise ... "All authority ... has been given to me ... go and make
disciples of all nations ... surely I am with you always to the very end
of the age." Script
Matthew Ch 24:1 - 28:20 NIV Bible
