Jesus · Película · 1979 · 117 min

A 1979 film depicting three and a half years of Jesus' ministry, drawn from the Gospel of Luke.

De qué trata

The film covers three and a half years of Jesus' ministry as told in the Gospel of Luke. Biblical figures highlighted in the source material include Mary, John the Baptist, Peter, and Zacchaeus, situating the film within Luke's narrative arc from birth through ministry.

The Gospel of Luke spans chapters 1 through 24 and is the sole biblical book the film draws on. Luke's gospel opens with a prologue addressed to Theophilus, moves through the birth and baptism narratives, and extends through Jesus' ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection.

Dónde está en la Biblia

  • Lucas 1:1-4Luke opens by stating his aim: an orderly, accurate account for Theophilus, so the reader may know the certainty of what was taught. Because the film is described as drawn from Luke, this preface frames the film's intent as a careful retelling.
  • Lucas 2:10-11The angel announces good tidings of great joy: a Saviour, Christ the Lord, is born in the city of David. This is the birth announcement Luke's nativity story turns on.
  • Lucas 4:18-19In the Nazareth synagogue Jesus reads from Isaiah: the Spirit of the Lord is upon him to preach good tidings, proclaim release, restore sight, set the bruised free, and proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. This passage sets out the scope of his public ministry.
  • Lucas 7:36-39A Pharisee invites Jesus to eat; a woman known as a sinner anoints his feet with ointment and tears. The host doubts whether Jesus is a prophet because he does not perceive her status. The scene raises the question of who recognises Jesus and how.
  • Lucas 9:23-24Jesus tells the crowd: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow. Whoever loses his life for Jesus' sake will save it. This teaching sets the cost and promise of discipleship.
  • Lucas 15:7Jesus says there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous who need no repentance. The verse caps a chapter about finding what was lost.

En qué se aparta de la Biblia

The overview states that the film follows Luke over three and a half years of ministry, so viewers can expect a condensed telling rather than a scene-by-scene rendering of every chapter. When watching, it may help to compare what is included against the full sweep of Luke 1-24 and notice which episodes receive emphasis.

Pay attention to details the Gospel itself stresses. Luke 1:1-4 explains the author's stated purpose — accuracy and certainty for the reader — so consider how the film presents itself as a faithful telling. Luke 2:10-11, Luke 4:18-19, Luke 7:36-39, and Luke 15:7 each give specific words or scenes; check whether the film preserves the language of these moments or compresses them.

Preguntas para conversar

  1. 1

    How does the film introduce its account of Jesus, and does this match Luke's stated purpose in Luke 1:1-4?

    Luke 1:1-4 says the writer aimed at an accurate, orderly account so Theophilus might know the certainty of what he had been taught. Compare the film's opening and any framing it provides with that stated purpose.

  2. 2

    When the film shows Jesus at the synagogue in Nazareth, does it preserve the words of Luke 4:18-19, and which audiences does Jesus say he has come for?

    Luke 4:18-19 lists the poor, captives, the blind, and the bruised, with the proclamation of the acceptable year of the Lord. Check whether the film quotes these groups and phrases directly.

  3. 3

    How does the film portray the meal scene in Luke 7:36-39, and what does the Pharisee's reaction reveal about recognising Jesus?

    Luke 7:36-39 records the woman anointing Jesus' feet and the host's internal doubt. Watch for how the film stages her actions and the host's response, and what each character sees or fails to see.
