      That film alone is proof, that God never left humans. God never stopped loving us, even though we departed from him as far as possible. Because nobody can persuade me, that the entire film has not had Jesus watching over it and being pleased.

    Mr Powell you certainly have no idea how many souls God touched using your character as Jesus of Nazareth. Whether that character is idolized till this day or not, you should be grateful to God for such an effective evangelism God allowed you to do without you knowing it. Just by watching that movie many gave their lives to Christ. I've been watching it since I was a little boy and now I'm 42. I just finished watching and I feel so powerfully reconnected to the words of Jesus. Thank you for availing yourself to make that movie.

But rest assured Oriet, Jesus' eyes are MUCH MUCH MUCH more gorgeous and penetrate much deeper, I GUARANTEE you that.

    Just want to share this. In my later years, a lot of tragedy has happened and very personally connected losses. As if a whole world was pulled away from me. And literally it is. In my struggle to protect myself I have been working on and not wanting to take everything in my heart for all that pain. Yesterday I was very moody. So locked and so dead in my soul. I happened to find a CZcams sequence with Robert Powell as Jesus and in a music video "Alabaster box". It was like my whole inner burst and in all my loneliness I met such light, courage and mercy. After many tears I fell asleep with the picture in front of me of Jesus so infinitely beautiful with these blue eyes and all that. This meeting with Robert Powell as Jesus, the music and meaning, was the best I could wish for. Thank you (RP) for your fantastic interpretation of Jesus. Thank God, I have a hard time believing anyone could do better visual stand in of His son.

    Robert Powell was amazing in the role of Jesus, in Jesus of Nazareth. It also just so happens that at the time of filming, as well as giving an inspirational performance, he seemed to fit how a lot of people imagine Jesus to look. He even starved himself for the role, so that he would look more emaciated and helpless on the cross. Even now, if you look through Facebook groups about Jesus, some people will use that movie image in their picture messages on those groups, as if Robert Powell is the official image of Jesus, which always makes me smile. I'm not sure what Robert Powell would make of seeing that, even to this day.

    There was such great purity in Robert Powell's performance. There are important scriptures left out of what Jesus said, at the Last Supper does not say that Jesus Body and Blood is for the forgiveness of sins, but going back to the Gospels after this movie series is greatly enriching, it has dignity and integrity and great beauty in the acting and production much of which is Franco Zefferelli as well. Worth watching again and again but always go back to the scriptures and remember however great an annointing there seems to be on this performance of our Lord Jesus bringing out Jesus love and compassion and teaching that Robert Powell is just an actor and may not be completely aware of how the Lord used him to elucidate deep meanings despite Powell's obvious gifts and skills many artists in other fields are not always fully aware of the beauty and truth that flowed through them. I pray Robert Powell will become a Christian if he not already.

    Way back in the 1980s I was sitting with a girl outside the Wells Tavern in Hampstead when it was still a pub, and Robert Powell walked across the road and into the pub. The girl blurted out, fairly loudly "oh look! It's... it's... Jesus!". He gave a wry smile and carried on inside.

      A good actor can, I believe, get inside the mind of the person he is meant to portray. Did God himself enable the actor to portray Jesus in a way that has had an influence on people for over 40 years now? I don't reject the idea out of hand, although clearly it didn't mean that Powell was expected to spend the rest of his career as God's vicar on earth. Someone else has that particular job. There have been a number of occasions when by chance I have found myself helping Christians and have been told that I must have been sent by God. I don't spend my life going out of my way to do good. If I have managed a few times to do something that strengthens people's faith in a good way I'm not going to feel embarrassed or proud either. The danger comes when people start to believe they are doing God's will. They may be, but they can never know for certain.

      I thought his eyes were green. There are green eyed Hebrews. It's a little sad reading these comments about Christ's complexion. His coming was a call to inclusion and peace between all nations and to love our brothers as we do ourselves, not fabricate ego battles that further divide along racial lines. However I find myself coming back to CZcams time and time again to watch this great mini-series.

    GOD ALMIGHTY CHOSE YOU FROM YOUR MOTHER WOUND.
    TO PLAY JESUS.
    PLEASE DON'T GET UPSET IF PEOPLE HAVE YOU PICTURE.ALL OVER THE WORLD IT WAS GOD THE FATHER OF HAD TO USE YOU ,
    AND ALL OTHER ACTORS THAT PLAYED JESUS.

    In the mid-Thirties of the last century, so around he year 1935, a Catholic nun named Faustina Kowalska said she had mystical visions of Jesus Christ and they painted Jesus following this nun's descriptions. The painting presented a man with shoulder length hair, a beard and moustache and dark blue eyes. This image known as the Merciful Jesus became worldwide famous. Before that, icons depicted Jesus more or less with the same features, that is, shoulder length hair, moustache and a beard. It is likely that Jesus kept his hair like this, the Romans did shave and keep their hair short as they were mainly involved in military campaigns, but the Jews did not. Anyways, my idea is that Italian director Franco Zeffirelli was looking for one actor who could look like Saint Faustina Kowalska's Christ or, in general, to the icons' Christ. Robert Powell auditioned for the role of Judas, but when asked to let them prepare him as Jesus, he eventually accepted and the result was very beautiful and touching. Great director, Franco Zeffirelli.
