- TriviaJeremy Sisto is actually a practicing Buddhist due to his father, though he grew up having Roman Catholic faith.
- GoofsThe crucifixion scene in this film is totally wrong as the man nailing Jesus to the cross is not a Roman Soldier but a Jew from the crowd.
- Alternate versionsThe international version of this film includes scenes that had to be cut due to time constraints on the CBS network. These scenes include:
- Extended version of the flashback scene where Mary tells Joseph about the angel
- Extended version of Jesus' farewell to Mary of Bethany, with Lazarus throwing him out in anger
- Satan showing Jesus the execution of Joan of Arc during the Gethsemane temptation
- Extended crucifixion with closeups of the nail going into Jesus' wrist and of Him screaming
- Brief scene of Judas hanging himself after the crucifixion

Featured review
A moving TV movie
I recently rented this version of the story of Jesus and find myself impressed with its message. This vision of Jesus focuses on his humanity and mission, rather than on his divinity. Jeremy Sisto captures a happy Jesus with the weight of salvation on his shoulders. Jacqueline Bisset and Debra Messing find a solid voice as two of the most important women in the story of Jesus. I believe the movie gives a unique and balanced viewpoint of Jesus, different from the too-divine vision of "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and the too-human vision of "The Last Temptation of Christ" and without the gore of "The Passion." Christians and fans of historical cinema would enjoy this movie, its message, and its style.
