- Jesus teaching the parable of the prodigal son, who wasted his inheritance on loose living and then repented and returned to the Father. Beautifully dove tailed cinematic piece combining the sometimes reckless zeal of Simon Peter with the son resentful of the prodigal child's welcome home in the story.
This scene is set in Matthew the tax collectors house. He invites Jesus to his home where there are prostitutes and they are having a banquet and party. Jesus goes against the will of his followers who think it would disgrace him to meet with such sinners. Jesus uses this event to teach about God's kingdom, He is willing to come where he is welcome
Two teachings in this parable
Firstly of Gods patience, love and acceptance of his children. God is waiting for his children to repent of their sin and return to Him and follow his ways and attain fellowship with him. If we choose to ignore God and pursue sin then we cut ourself off from the Father. The Father loves us and wants our love and attention and it is best for us when we are with the Father who is the source of all life, comfort and goodness. The things of this world are temporal and fleeting, they are vain and are idols. The source of all life is Gods Spirit.
Secondly is the warning of those who are in Gods kingdom and who believe and follow Him not to be resentful of sinners and of iniquity when they repent and are also accepted into the kingdom. We have all been sinners and we should all rejoice when anyone repents and comes to God.
I was an atheist for 10 years of my life. Depression, anxiety and panic attacks were a part of my daily routine. I was suicidal during my teenage years and had no friends at school. I started using medication when I was 15 and only stopped at 19. Eventually, my body got sick and I developed some diseases from all the chemicals on it. Now, at 23, my life is completely changed due to how Jesus Christ, my King and my God, transformed me. This parable speaks to me in a way that no other book or human being does, as does Jesus himself. I’m no longer depressed, shy or ill. Everyday is a blessing and I cannot fathom killing myself anymore. All the glory be to Him, who is gentle and humble in heart, and extremely patient with a stupid man like myself.
Stay strong with the faith 🙏🏼 Jesus is our salvation through the trials and tribulations.
Jesus has blessed you!
You are in good company brother, we are ALL stupid men it is in our nature. Only through Christ and our adherence to his principles are we redeemed. 🙂🙏
I will never tire of this part of Jesus of Nazareth. "Your brother was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found." Miracles surround us. People who've come back to God are miracles themselves.
AMEN to that!
Amen

When someone is lost, but comes back to Jesus, it is a great celebration !
It's also called being born again

Philippians 2:12
"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”
Wtf are you supposed to do when you do not know what god wants or when you cant see the tasks he wants you to do what tf are you supposed to do then?!!!!
@@tereasdownes9793 have trust and faith. We always know what God wants from us.
@@tereasdownes9793 start with the seven things that God hates.
This is my favorite parable. He is essentially saying that God's love is beyond justice. His love is one of grace. He doesn't diminish justice in any way; he exemplifies it by telling us to forgive people and help them to get to heaven which is TRUE justice because we were created for heaven and eternal life.
The small detail is that in that culture, the father stood and let his children approach him. In this story, the Father runs to greet his son.
Peter’s “I’m just a stupid man” line; me every time I sin. That is all of us, but we can always return to our Lord, who gave His life to save us from our sins.
Thank You, Lord!!!!
Hallelujah praise the Lord amen 🙏
Can't always return to God. If any "i/I" commits ultimate evils such as murder, suicide, rape, pedophilia, beastiality, and tried to go to God, such ones will be casted away or erased. Renounce God and be renounced. View thyself as God based upon misconstruing and misinterpreting and discover just how much isn't God.

Thank You Lord Jesus Amen 🙏
As a backsliding Christian returning to my Master, this really speaks to me. Thank you Christ my Savior
we all have sinned and are saved by God's grace...glad you made it back... Bless you...
that's extra extra special. The Bible says in the King James that when a backslider comes back it makes that very happy especially if someone else brings back a brother
check out Bible project
I think we all go off the road. Aren't we all Peters judas's who knows we might even eaten the fruit of the tree if it were us. God bless you but coming back. The Bible will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from the Bible. I'd like to listen to Alexander Scourby every night the Book of Genesis it's just so peaceful. You made me happy when I read your message. It gave me those Goosebumps
Me too, I think it's the best story in the bible and has to do with the most of us that come to Jesus.. ❤️
The Greatest Scene in ALL OF MOVIE HISTORY.
We are ALL Prodigal sons....and God loves us.....
Beautiful
We all must "come to our senses" like the Prodigal. Because He loves us.

How can anyone doubt....this parable reveals the very voice of God.

No words can describe how much I love this movie. Thank you, Robert Powell, for your stunning portrayal of Our Lord. God bless you, sir.
i can.t even see an actor. for me this really was Jesus himself :-)
German poem, engraved in one of their cathedrals:
THUS speaketh Christ our Lord to us:
You call me Master, and obey me not;
You call me light, and see me not;
You call me the Way, and walk me not;
You call me life, and live me not;
You call me wise, and follow me not;
You call me fair, and love me not;
You call me rich and ask me not;
You call me eternal, and seek me not;
If I condemn you; blame me not.

The Prodigal Son is probably the greatest story ever told, and this is the greatest dramatization of that story. The power here to reclaim and restore is beyond telling. What amazing love and grace God has revealed to us through His Son, Jesus!
5:19 - I get a tear in my eye every time. I’m just a “stupid man” and Jesus still loves me! Thank you Lord!

Same here brother God bless you and praised be he
The entire Gospel message is this..a loving father who desperately seeks reconciliation with his children.
Bro I finna cry soon.. I don't even show emotions 😂 GOD and Jesus Have Me Weak Bro 😭
Bro I'm not worthy to be call a Son Of God.. this is impossible and the. Having Jesus has my Lord And Savior????.. nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is too real to be even true
Father help me to spread the Gospel to all creation.. I'm unworthy of your love... Your love humbled me now I could only see the need to love all .. because you Love Us So Much.. that u gave us your son Christ Jesus..
While we were yet your enemy.. Jesus died for us... I'm now Peirce with the love of Christ.. DENYING Lord Jesus Is Impossible..

For many years I was lost, I was a terrible person and an atheist. Once I found jesus my life got so much better, today I was thinking of how many things ive gotten since I started following jesus that I would dream to have when I was young, then randomly this video popped up. Jesus gave me everything as a celebrate just as he says in the story.Thx for everything Jesus.
What triggered the change if you don’t mind me asking?
It took me 59 year traveling other paths till I finally found the truth I was seeking. I found it in the Creator and Christ and am so happy that even now I have that love which both give so freely and ask so little in return. Much love to all and may we continually be blessed!
JESUS Christ is Lord and Savior.Praise him.Amen
Read your blood verses in the Bible the Blood that only matters is Yeshua! It is on the mercy west in heaven.
I never tire of watching this video clip over and over again. I love Jesus so much, full of forgiveness and unconditional love 😙😘. Thank you Robert Powell for bringing Jesus close to me by your brilliant performance of Jesus Christ ❤️🙏😭💔😘🌷
i watching everyday .i love JESUS
Unbelievably brilliant acting.
My favorite parable. It hits home....really hard.
I couldn't help but laugh when he said forgive me master... I am just a stupid man. That's exactly what I think when I am praying. Honest hits home
Am I the only one who has tears running down their face when they see this movie? God bless you all.
Me too
No not the only one. Me too.
wow...brings me to tears.. Praise God and the King of Kings Jesus Christ!
Me too
Every time
The Lord Jesus Christ is so awesome beyond my comprehension!!
Yesss ...I certainly was lost ...and then Truth, wrapped it's arms around me ...I didn't deserve such grace, and forgiveness 🐑🕊
I recall from whence I came. And my father saw me a long ways off and ran to me and embraced a fool and a sod like me. I found that he had never truly left me but was always with me. And now he calls me a son. I will never forget my sin. But most of all, I will never forget his grace and mercy to me. Lamentations 3:57-57
Im now eating my hot noodle after heavy drinking and partying on Good Friday. This scene makes me cry like a baby . oh Lord please forgive my sin as im truly not worthy.
Noodles is one of my favourite foods.
By God’s Word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all wickedness,” (1 John 1:9) and by Christ’s death and resurrection, I believe your sins are forgiven, brother.
Don't give up on yourself.
God didn't.
Let us, all of us, repent and go back to Him.
When I sin, I realized that the wrong thing to do is to run away from Jesus - instead, run back to Him in your shame, and realise He is greater, He offers satisfaction which sin never can
This story has spoken to every generation since Jesus told it. This story speaks to every one of us at one point or or another in our lifetime.
Praise Yahweh, The Lord of great compassion beyond measure. Jesus will not reject anyone who goes to Him. I love the sincerity of Peter. He was not perfect but so plain with the Lord. No wonder he was made the rock. All glory to God. Alleluia Amen.
I like they way the writers and producers tied this parable as way Simon Peter and the other disciples made it possible to reconcile with Matthew the tax collector.
When a heart is broken, this is the parable I turn to in order to repair it. I've been broken hearted for over a decade now, and still am to some extent, but I have to believe in order to carry on.
Jesus came to heal the "brokenhearted". Jesus healed me of a "Broken-Heart" with one tangible touch of His Power in 1995 in a divine visitation after reading His Word and seeking Him for 18 months in my house, in my own time.
"The Lord is near to them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit." (Psalm 34:18). "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3). He will do the same for you Friend.
I just don't have the words to describe how I feel... Amen and thank You Lord...
I can't help myself with this. Everytime i feel that's it, this time your sin is unrecoverable, then this heavenly parable shows up in front of me saying: IT'S RIGHT TO CELEBRATE.
God is Love indeed. With no limits
We need teachers like this today.
One of the finest pieces of acting on film that I have ever seen. Peter's hesitation and nervous smile in the midst of his shattering grief, coming to grips with the understanding that he was standing before God made flesh, the heartbreaking desire for mercy and restoration to innocence--- just a masterpiece
Hes speaking about forgiveness and compassion
This parable never fails to make me tear up. It strikes right at the heart.
All have fallen short ALL! Thank you Jesus for being the loving God that you are!!
Love to watch this movie over and over again.
Like to hear his stunning voice like Jesus Christ, so great and very inspiring Robert Powell portrayed Jesus ❤❤❤
Praise Lord Jesus and His devine wisdom....
Forgive me master, for Im just a stupid man....the words pierced through me, Thank You Lord Jesus
why would you want your "master" (are you a slave?) to forgive you if he created you this way?
I remember when this aired originally on TV. I was still in Catholic grade school. This was absolutely so moving and so powerful with all the marvelous cast and the masterful direction of Franco Zeffirelli. Now in this year 2023 this still inspires me and gives me hope!!
The best telling of this parable on film. Robert Powell played Jesus beautifully. The scriptwriting for the movie was awesome as well.
The transformation of Peter and Matthew. Beautiful!

Could be Peter had a spiritual awakening that changed him.
Wow! Very powerful, this scene just, just made me cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭 because I’m just a stupid man that didn’t understand until now😭😭😭
This is the most beautiful story ive ever heard with the greatest lesson to learn. Everyone can find themselves in a certain character. It makes you sit and contemplate just like in the movie.
This parable is so deep and true.
Thank you Father for your Son
I always feel that this parable is for me have anyone else felt like Jesus talking about you
Tasha Cooper me too
All the time.
Because He is
The paragon of all parables! Luke 15 wrecks me because it teaches that God the Father is reckless in his love. All three parables in Luke 15 illustrate one main point; namely, that there is much rejoicing in heaven when that which belongs to God was lost and became found because of the reckless love of God.
The deepest story ever told and he did at a place of sinners but Jesus was there to love and save that’s why I am so happy I found my faith again. Thank you my lord
Nanabik ako bumalik kay Lord, kahit alam kong di ako karapat dapat, nauuhaw akong makinig muli sa kay God, nagugutom ako sa katotohanan ni Cristo na iniwan ko kapalit ng pamumuhay katulad ng di nanampalataya, at sobra pa dahil nagawa ang bagay na di ginagawa ng ibang di nanampalataya. At naisip ko rin maalala ang mga kapatid kay Cristo noon, na masayang naglilingkod kay Cristo, nakita ko sa buhay nila ang iniwan kong buhay na malapit sa Diyos.😞
He loves you and wants you back. Don't wait.
I wish people could understand what this parable represents: We should love people, even those who have sinned.
No, *especially* and foremost for those who have sinned, they need us the most! There is an addition to this parable, cannot quite remember which evangelist, paraphrasing here: When a lamb is lost from the herd, you leave the herd behind and search for the lamb day and night until it is found.
photoallergic they need God not us
@@davidcraig7771 they need God's love through us
It is not that we love those who have sinned. It is that we love those who have sinned and yet returned to God in true repentance.
Those that can truly see. Understand what Jesus is saying and it's the truth.
Praise the Lord Jesus..
I love how matthew is hanging off jesus every word like a kid gathering around a camp fire waiting to hear a story.
that was Peter..
ya Jesus said except we become like children.. i like that too..
It was exactly what he needed to hear. He WAS that son who left the Father and was ashamed to come home, and Jesus has told him it's not too late. Peter WAS the older son who thought the younger son was a lost cause and thought the Father was foolish for taking him back. Jesus sets them both straight with the same story, and they reconcile at the end of the scene.
george cobble Matthew. Peter was outside.
forgive me master, i'm just a stupid man.
+fred bannon James Farentino was a great actor, and wonderful as Peter.
I cried when Peter said that. I saw myself in him.
Just so brilliant, so perfect...because it's so simple.
and the truth and it happened,ROBERT POWELL will be thanked in person,same as us all
You are not alone
In times of great dispair this is the best message to hear. God bless you all.
Such an incredible story. If more of us could just hear it. What an amazing man Jesus was. He is most assuredly the way to the father.
is
Beautiful scene....Sometimes I have felt just like Peter. Don't we all? Praise and glory to Jesus , our king.
A wonderful parable indeed. To show the almost incredible restorative love of our God towards repentant sinners such as me .
Always love u so much Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. To know that we need to love everyone and to forgive them also for their mistakes as well as ours too,
One of the best movies ever. I love this parable it is so beautiful❤
Prodigal Son
The Mercy of God
Yes, mercy to those who repent and change their lives.
humboldt777 Turn to God and he will change your life for you.
James Halleluyah Amen!
Michael Salemi Yes, that's only part of it... mercy to give time for us to turn in repentance (change of heart and mind).
2 Peter 3:9
and as Paul preached everywhere to prove it by our actions. Acts 26:20
Turn to Jesus and God will change your heart and mind.
Praise you Lord Jesus! I love you with all my heart, all my soul, and all my strength.
This parable says that when we are forgiven, God restores us to full status as His children
Even non believers use the words from the bible not knowing where it originated
Most people don’t really get this parable, and the wicked misuse it as a license to continue in sin.
What if the prodigal had come home, but instead of demonstrating true contrition, had demanded more money from his father so that he could go out and spend it on more harlots? Would the ending have been the same?
What if the son had never made the journey (a work of sorts) home, either out of shame or indifference to his father? Would his father have left home to seek him out?
The parable has two sides, the Father’s compassion for a returning reprobate, and the absolute necessity for repentance.
This world has forgotten the message of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Those who are lead by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.
You are right my brother .Many fails to read to book of Jude.
Indeed. All are welcomed back to God, but we must do so with contrition and repentance.
the parable has, in fact, three sides.
The Father's compassion.
The Prodigal Son's repentance.
The Other Son's hard-heartedness.
I feel this parable depicts the love of our heavenly father.. No matter how sinful we as sons and daughters are until we realise what have we done wrong when famine can depict betrayal, lost everything you loved and had, selfishness, ego,hatred, violence etc. and try to correct them.. Father will keep his arms open for us and expecting our return from evil... This kind of love is something beyond anything.. This kind of realization so necessary in this current generation right now... Guy you still have got time.. Don't lose faith in the father and be ashamed if father will call you back or not... Understanding what did you gain by doing evil and comparing with what you had before turning to evil is important.. God bless us all..
The absolute top movie of Jesus. Epic and outstanding.
One of the most beautiful scenes in the movie, both visually and for what it conveys about the loving Father heart of God.
Love this part with Peter and Mathew too and so beautiful.
My favorite story from Lord Jesus.
The story touches me deeply. Thank you Jesus for your stories.xxx
This analogy of Jesus Christ tells how great God always love us in respective of our disobedience. God want us to always repent from our sin so that he will embrace us .
Glory to God in the Highest! Beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes.
This - for me - was one of the greatest scenes in the fllm -- superb!

That story tell us the heart of God.
This scene is perhaps the most brilliant depiction of Jesus ever done in any art form in human history. I was stunned when I first saw it and am still stunned by it now. It takes the parables, which are presented rather dryly in the Gospels and gives them flesh, context, greater meaning and feeling. It suggests that Jesus told these stories to fit particular situations. It gives us a vivid portrait of what it might have been like and why he was so compelling to be with. The other scene that struck me,, among many, was after the early raising of Jairus' daughter. The crowd is stunned and they gather around him in complete stillness, listening. And as he speaks the Divine emanation from him makes them realize that God is not abstract. some ritualistic prayer. It (He) is *here-now* right in front of them, pouring through Jesus. You could feel it watching it.
Jesus of Nazareth was an enormous breakthrough achievement of modernism brought to Jesus life. You could feel it, especially in the political turmoil. The Chosen is a child of this modernism and in its own way is quite remarkable. But I have to say for all of its power, and there are many great scenes, it has never reached this height. Maybe the healing by the pool, which was awesome.
To forgive is to know God
Robert Powell portrayed a powerful Jesus.
This scene always brings tears to my eyes.😢
Praise the Lord 🙏❤️
