Beautiful testimony!
God bless you brother!
..Who is here???? I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
I was a homeless suicidal drug-addicted murdering gay prostitute quiz for multiple personality disorders and 1 day Jesus completely healed My Mind Body Soul and Spirit... When I FINALLY SURRENDERED 🎉
For years every time I read through the 4 Gospels I'd always wonder about Jesus simply saying "Follow Me", and then the apostles one by one would drop everything and followed him. I found this amazing article and I was balling my eyes out, because it gave me a whole new appreciation for His love for us. 😥😇😥💕
It's called: "MAY YOU BE COVERED WITH THE DUST OF YOUR RABBI"
In the New Testament a Rabbi would call a new disciple by saying, “Follow Me,” it meant from that time forward their life would change drastically as they would be dead to their old life and alive to their new life. They would literally leave everything they knew and begin to follow their new teacher.
~If you were called to follow a Rabbi, you would be taking their set of rules and their teaching upon you, with the idea that one day you would perpetuate their ideas to future generations. A Rabbi’s set of teachings in that day was called their “yoke.” This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). The Rabbis of Jesus’ day put a heavy yoke loaded with burdens on men and did not help to lift them.
~Around the age of 14 or 15 years old, the young men would finish their schooling and the Rabbis would go to these schools and question these young men. They would then choose the best of the best to be their disciples and would call them using the same phrase that Jesus used, “Follow Me.” The Rabbi wanted to find out if you had what it takes to spread his yoke. The new disciple would then leave his hometown and everything he knew, and would follow him everywhere, giving his life to be exactly like his Rabbi. The student would follow the Rabbi and literally imitate him in every way, especially his teaching and mannerisms.
~As one would leave and begin to follow, others would say to him, “May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi.” The students followed him so closely that the dust from the road that came from the feet of the Rabbi would cover the disciple. That should be the desire of every disciple of Christ, to walk so close to him that we would be covered with his dust.
~If a young man was rejected by the Rabbi, he would say to him, “Go home, have children, and pray that they may become a Rabbi. Go home and ply your trade (go home and learn the family business).”
~Matthew 4:18-22 describes Jesus calling four of his disciples to follow him, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
~(Why were these men fisherman, because they were not chosen to be a potential Rabbi; they were plying their trade.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
~Jesus calling these young men was just the same as saying, “I believe you can be like me and I believe you have potential, you have what it takes. I believe God can use you.” This was one of the greatest privileges in their culture.
~Imagine you were on the shore when this scene unfolds. Jesus walks by and calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, they drop everything and immediately begin to follow Jesus. I would have thought that their father would have said, “… you kids now a days, running off, leaving me with all this work, where do you think you’re going.” Nothing like that was spoken. I imagine that Zebedee ran home and said something like this, “The boys aren’t with me mom, a Rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, came along and called our boys, and he thinks that they have what it takes to be a Rabbi someday.” Maybe the next morning, he sees the usual men preparing for the day’s work that is ahead of them and he can’t wait to brag on his sons. I assure you that this became the talk of the town, Zebedee’s family stock soared that day, and this is what every father dreamed of for his son.
~I often wondered why Peter would get out of a perfectly good boat in the middle of a storm. His Teacher was not in the boat and he wanted to be just like him, so he stepped out and walked on the water. Peter would rather be surrounded by the waves and be with Jesus than to be in a safe boat without him. Peter wanted to be covered with the dust of his Rabbi, to follow Him. What Jesus did, Peter wanted to do, where Jesus was, Peter wanted to be.
May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi!
~I was just thinking about how Jesus washed His dust off of the feet of his disciples. They were dirty, because they followed so closely behind Him. It was now time for them to step up, and have the world follow what they have to say about Jesus! Yet Judas was covered in that same dust, but he decided to betray him like billions of so-called Christians today that do not obey Jesus, but are still choosing to obey their flesh!

Have you seen the movie for the Gospel of John, it's Absolutely Fantastic! I watch that one every week!
I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I almost killed myself, and then Lord reminded me that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every single month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... So who needs TV or social media when we've got The Word of God that sets us free. I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my ENTIRE life to Christ...after I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, it Absolutely scared me too the core and I stopped making excuses for my sin. I was kidnapped for sex trafficking the very day that I ran away from home after my mom had murdered my twin baby sisters she said she was going to murder me. After God saved my soul that day, Now I truly love God with all my heart, all my mind, all my sou, andl all my strength. He healed my Mind Body Soul and Spirit.. Ever since then I've never experienced anger, fear, unforgiveness, guilt, shame, rejection, bitter, lustful thoughts, loneliness, worry/stress, lying, gossip, etc 🎉 I can't believe that I used to think I was Born Again, not even close. The TRUTH sets us Free!
Praise the Lord!! ❤️
@@Jillian1stJohn3-9-10Thank you. Wonderful testimony. I likewise wish to be covered in the dust of my rabbi and redeemer, Yeshua HaMashiach.
Amen🙏🏽

Wow! Such a powerful testimony. All glory be to God 🙌🏻🙏🏻
I was paralyzed from the neck down. I was told by doctors I would never walk again. And yet I walked for my high school graduation and I walked down the aisle to be married to the love of my life. I was spared having to be on a ventilator while sick and my doctors were amazed. My mother had me on every prayer chain she could.
I am the proof of the power of prayer.
❤❤❤
Please pray for me. For good health. My name is Christopher M.
@@zetacod3 My Lord and my God, help Christopher times of weakness and pain. I ask that You sustain him by Your grace so that his strength and courage do not fail. Please heal him according to Your will and inspire him to believe that what happens to him here is trivial in light of eternity. Amen.
I love you brother 💙 in Christ
Jesus said your faith will heal you
Blessed be the Lord forever and ever!
*To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen*
Amen
Thank you I really needed this tonight 🙏🏼🫶🏼❤️
Amen🙏
Thank you!🙏 ❤
Amen 🙏🏽
When this came out originally in the mid-90's I was teenager, and my family had the four-VHS tape video. We would watch it as a family every New Year's Eve (a tape a day leading up to New Year's Eve, where we'd watch the last tape on Dec 31). It was a very special tradition. Now my husband and I are missionaries, and I love showing the resurrection part to the students I teach. I love it. It makes me cry. I can't wait to see Jesus face to face!
Missionary style,, mmmm nice!
Pray for us.
How blessed you were to come from a family of believers in the power of Christ.
Amen, Praise The Most High 🙌 🙏 👏 ❤ ♥
That's great. Great memories you have. This is my first time watching this. It's good
✞ Step by step - Jesus you saved me 1989 and healed me from covid 1 year ago. I walked in the valley of the shadow of death. The doctors told my son Samuel that I was going to die. But then he prayed in the name of Jesus in the intensive care unit of the hospital and after 10 days on a ventilator I woke up and here I am. Thank you LORD. Step by step 😍🤩😘🥰 Love you Jesus!
Glad you are well. I am praying for my mother in-law who is in the ICU. I don't care what the doctors are saying. Nothing is impossible with our God.
Thank you for telling me about this miracle!
@@CherieDeDieu I'm praying for your mother-in-law as well.
Do you not know that there is a woe to those who wink the eye . Never use that sign
WOW
This film helped me come to Christ in 2016. Thank You Jesus 🙏🏻🙌🏼🕊👑
Same in 2019-2020 New Years!

Bruce Marciano the man who played Jesus came and spoke at our church when this came out. He loves the Lord so much and it was such a blessing.
Thank you Jesus, for everything you have done for me, and still doing for me!! ❤🙏🙏🙏
He is the best actor of Jesus I've seen...his emotions made me imagine how Jesus actually was with the people in his time and knowing Jesus is love I could relate.
He came to speak at an outreach we did too. He really is so kind
Aw, I'm so glad to hear that the actor is a Christian and so kind
We have his movies, He also play in the apostle peter in the last supper.
I am used to playing this on my phone just before going to bed. I don't know how many times times I have slept to the teachings of Jesus through this video. Thank you Jesus for everything you do for us.
Amén! Hi! Let me invite you to watch my animated Bible stories 😃 God bless you
AMEN
Me too. I do the same and also if I wake up in the night. I have my favourites!
I am doing the same
Same here brother
Thank Jesus Christ for slapping me awake in the midst of my deception. I feel like the Lord was saying to me, “What are you doing? I’m right here and I’ve always been here, and you’ve known this but blinded yourself to it.”
I pray for Jesus to give me the strength to resist temptation and for the Holy Ghost to change my heart and mind into His likeness.
Hope this day finds you on the narrow path, sibling in Christ. The more obedient we are, the clearer we can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. If you have the Holy Spirit, you have the power to get all the sin out of your life. Yes, we will still sin, but we have the Christian's Bar of Soap to wash with daily with the reading of the word - 1 John 1:9
Jesus loves you. God bless you. :)
Amen 🙏 me the same.
Amen to that. Same here
Jesus saved 🙏🙌and love 💘❤all men we thank God to bless us 🇺🇸🙏with his son 🙏❤
He is there and always will be,he loves more anyone
Jesus is lord, I loved this movie and I believe all people who watched this movie will be blessed !
The Gospel of John movie is fantastic too.

Jesus Loves You So Much…... Especially when we’re feeling so sad that our lives are meaningless and are in so much pain 😢 He see your sorrows and He deeply cares so much for you. Believe and see yourself in His arms of love for you because His love for you is real and He will help you. He wants so much to have a deep loving relationship with you. Come to Him, He will always be there for you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely adore this version of Mathew’s gospel. It portrays joy and humor I believe our beautiful Messiah has. When the healed leper tackles Jesus with sheer love and abandon after being made clean, I cry like a baby. This movie is worth watching all year long, not just on feast days.
I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I found out that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... Who needs TV or social media when you've got The Word of God! I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my entire life to Christ. After I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, I stopped making excuses when I saw that I was considered a child of the devil!!!
~For years every time I read through the 4 gospels I'd always wonder about Jesus simply saying "Follow Me", and then the apostles one by one would drop everything and followed him. I found this amazing article and I was balling my eyes out 😇😥💕
It's called:
"MAY YOU BE COVERED WITH THE DUST OF YOUR RABBI"
In the New Testament a Rabbi would call a new disciple by saying, “Follow Me,” it meant from that time forward their life would change drastically as they would be dead to their old life and alive to their new life. They would literally leave everything they knew and begin to follow their new teacher.
~If you were called to follow a Rabbi, you would be taking their set of rules and their teaching upon you, with the idea that one day you would perpetuate their ideas to future generations. A Rabbi’s set of teachings in that day was called their “yoke.” This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). The Rabbis of Jesus’ day put a heavy yoke loaded with burdens on men and did not help to lift them.
~Around the age of 14 or 15 years old, the young men would finish their schooling and the Rabbis would go to these schools and question these young men. They would then choose the best of the best to be their disciples and would call them using the same phrase that Jesus used, “Follow Me.” The Rabbi wanted to find out if you had what it takes to spread his yoke. The new disciple would then leave his hometown and everything he knew, and would follow him everywhere, giving his life to be exactly like his Rabbi. The student would follow the Rabbi and literally imitate him in every way, especially his teaching and mannerisms.
~As one would leave and begin to follow, others would say to him, “May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi.” The students followed him so closely that the dust from the road that came from the feet of the Rabbi would cover the disciple. That should be the desire of every disciple of Christ, to walk so close to him that we would be covered with his dust.
~If a young man was rejected by the Rabbi, he would say to him, “Go home, have children, and pray that they may become a Rabbi. Go home and ply your trade (go home and learn the family business).”
~Matthew 4:18-22 describes Jesus calling four of his disciples to follow him, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
~(Why were these men fisherman, because they were not chosen to be a potential Rabbi; they were plying their trade.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
~Jesus calling these young men was just the same as saying, “I believe you can be like me and I believe you have potential, you have what it takes. I believe God can use you.” This was one of the greatest privileges in their culture.
~Imagine you were on the shore when this scene unfolds. Jesus walks by and calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, they drop everything and immediately begin to follow Jesus. I would have thought that their father would have said, “… you kids now a days, running off, leaving me with all this work, where do you think you’re going.” Nothing like that was spoken. I imagine that Zebedee ran home and said something like this, “The boys aren’t with me mom, a Rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, came along and called our boys, and he thinks that they have what it takes to be a Rabbi someday.” Maybe the next morning, he sees the usual men preparing for the day’s work that is ahead of them and he can’t wait to brag on his sons. I assure you that this became the talk of the town, Zebedee’s family stock soared that day, and this is what every father dreamed of for his son.
~I often wondered why Peter would get out of a perfectly good boat in the middle of a storm. His Teacher was not in the boat and he wanted to be just like him, so he stepped out and walked on the water. Peter would rather be surrounded by the waves and be with Jesus than to be in a safe boat without him. Peter wanted to be covered with the dust of his Rabbi, to follow Him. What Jesus did, Peter wanted to do, where Jesus was, Peter wanted to be.
May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi!
~I was just thinking about how Jesus washed His dust off of the feet of his disciples. They were dirty, because they followed so closely behind Him. It was now time for them to step up, and have the world follow what they have to say about Jesus! Yet Judas was covered in that same dust, but he decided to betray him like billions of so-called Christians today that do not obey Jesus, but are still choosing to obey their flesh!

Not deviating from the words of scripture makes this the best movie about Christ, no contest. Production quality matters not when God's word is proclaimed accurately, for His word transcends what we see. Praise be to Yahweh for His infinite grace and mercy. Thank you Master Jesus for sacrificing yourself for undeserving lawless, rebellious men such as us.
I first watched this in 1995. Blessed me so! Still blessed when watching this. Such peace and joy and love that can only come from our Lord Jesus Christ ❤️
I like how they portrayed Jesus in this movie. Made him real and with original personality. Cause he is
Yes ! Me too! It’s the best version of Jesus that I’ve seen in a Jesus movie! That’s probably how His personally really is❤️
My tears are falling everytime Jesus does His miracles.
Mine too, Glenn. God Bless you in Jesus name!
Jesus never existed.
🙏 Yes He is the Lord of miracles 🙏
He is still performing them today. Search your heart for faith like the centurion did! Try to be the right seed and produce the right fruit. You are the seed. The bible is the good ground!

@shumail rashid Jesus came to earth to save humans instead they crucified him he cried to his father not to leave him that way on the third day he arose ascended to heaven he died so we could all repent of our sins and have life forever its up to us to make that decision
@shumail rashid the Bible is the only book that speaks about the beginning and the end on this earth no other book "Only The Bible" speaks of it..from Genesis to Revelation..example right now all over the world there demanding the vaccine if you dont get it No traveling,food,gym,medicine,millions are being fired from there jobs and so on..think about it..its evil right..the mark of the Beast is coming..all this is in the Bible..Read genesis then go to the end and read Revelation your find the truth
prove it, without reading a quote from the old book written by men that believed in witchcraft, thought the world was flat, and that exorcisms where a thing, I'd like to see you prove it.
I ALWAYS LOVE HIM MORE THAN MYSELF AND WITH GREATNESS : HE IS MORE THAN A SAVIOR TO ME HE IS MY EVERYTHING TO ME AMEN 🕊
AND THERE IS NO RAPTURE!!!!!!!!
THE BIBLE IS TALKING ABOUT THE RESURRECTION, IN THES.1&2. READ THE BOOK DON'T GO BY WHAT SOMEONE IS TELLING YOU OR A CHURCH DOCTRINE.
What about the Father who sent Jesus? Doesn't the Father deserve even more love?
@@archangeljesus4369 HELLO ANGEL BOY I LOVE THE HEAVENLY FATHER WITH GREATNESS YES I TOTALLY LOVE THE FATHER WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL &MIND AND STRENGTH : AMEN🕊
@@jannettawilliams6902 You cannot love both Jehovah and Jesus at the same level because Jehovah according to John 14:28 is greater than Jesus and the trinity doctrine is a pagan Roman Catholic thing that isn't true. You understand?
@@archangeljesus4369 Jesus is Jehovah.
Such a beautiful way to teach the Bible and the fact that they follow the scripture, thank you for this
The movie for the Gospel of John is Absolutely Fantastic!!
I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I found out that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... Who needs TV or social media when you've got The Word of God! I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my entire life to Christ. After I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, I stopped making excuses when I saw that I was considered a child of the devil!!!
~For years every time I read through the 4 gospels I'd always wonder about Jesus simply saying "Follow Me", and then the apostles one by one would drop everything and followed him. I found this amazing article and I was balling my eyes out 😇😥💕
It's called:
"MAY YOU BE COVERED WITH THE DUST OF YOUR RABBI"
In the New Testament a Rabbi would call a new disciple by saying, “Follow Me,” it meant from that time forward their life would change drastically as they would be dead to their old life and alive to their new life. They would literally leave everything they knew and begin to follow their new teacher.
~If you were called to follow a Rabbi, you would be taking their set of rules and their teaching upon you, with the idea that one day you would perpetuate their ideas to future generations. A Rabbi’s set of teachings in that day was called their “yoke.” This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). The Rabbis of Jesus’ day put a heavy yoke loaded with burdens on men and did not help to lift them.
~Around the age of 14 or 15 years old, the young men would finish their schooling and the Rabbis would go to these schools and question these young men. They would then choose the best of the best to be their disciples and would call them using the same phrase that Jesus used, “Follow Me.” The Rabbi wanted to find out if you had what it takes to spread his yoke. The new disciple would then leave his hometown and everything he knew, and would follow him everywhere, giving his life to be exactly like his Rabbi. The student would follow the Rabbi and literally imitate him in every way, especially his teaching and mannerisms.
~As one would leave and begin to follow, others would say to him, “May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi.” The students followed him so closely that the dust from the road that came from the feet of the Rabbi would cover the disciple. That should be the desire of every disciple of Christ, to walk so close to him that we would be covered with his dust.
~If a young man was rejected by the Rabbi, he would say to him, “Go home, have children, and pray that they may become a Rabbi. Go home and ply your trade (go home and learn the family business).”
~Matthew 4:18-22 describes Jesus calling four of his disciples to follow him, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
~(Why were these men fisherman, because they were not chosen to be a potential Rabbi; they were plying their trade.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
~Jesus calling these young men was just the same as saying, “I believe you can be like me and I believe you have potential, you have what it takes. I believe God can use you.” This was one of the greatest privileges in their culture.
~Imagine you were on the shore when this scene unfolds. Jesus walks by and calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, they drop everything and immediately begin to follow Jesus. I would have thought that their father would have said, “… you kids now a days, running off, leaving me with all this work, where do you think you’re going.” Nothing like that was spoken. I imagine that Zebedee ran home and said something like this, “The boys aren’t with me mom, a Rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, came along and called our boys, and he thinks that they have what it takes to be a Rabbi someday.” Maybe the next morning, he sees the usual men preparing for the day’s work that is ahead of them and he can’t wait to brag on his sons. I assure you that this became the talk of the town, Zebedee’s family stock soared that day, and this is what every father dreamed of for his son.
~I often wondered why Peter would get out of a perfectly good boat in the middle of a storm. His Teacher was not in the boat and he wanted to be just like him, so he stepped out and walked on the water. Peter would rather be surrounded by the waves and be with Jesus than to be in a safe boat without him. Peter wanted to be covered with the dust of his Rabbi, to follow Him. What Jesus did, Peter wanted to do, where Jesus was, Peter wanted to be.
May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi!
~I was just thinking about how Jesus washed His dust off of the feet of his disciples. They were dirty, because they followed so closely behind Him. It was now time for them to step up, and have the world follow what they have to say about Jesus! Yet Judas was covered in that same dust, but he decided to betray him like billions of so-called Christians today that do not obey Jesus, but are still choosing to obey their flesh!

Thank you for making this free and available to anyone willing to watch.
I am crying out! To GOD! To take possession of every fiber of my being! LORD! Please! Answer! Me!
Good News for you, because God already owns everything...
Fast and seek me at midnight. I just read about that again. Fast meat, sweets whatever you can do. Sugar is a feel good that encourages us to be carefree and do our own thing. The Passion Translation Bible captures the Passion of God's heart! It is beautifully poetic at times. It will change your life. Fruit, beans, salads, veggies and nuts and low sugar snacks will increase your will for Him. Worship, Prayer Fast and Praise. Workup to a 24 hr fast with liquids only. This will change your life.
I love you.

Just can't get tired of watching this movie 😊😊
Wish all bible books had movies
Have you watched the chosen? And A.D. the Bible continues is really good unfortunately the series wasn’t allowed to continue from nbc. You can also find The gospel of John the gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke word for word from the scriptures while movie is playing on amazon prime but not sure if they are all free. Just thought I’d mention a few if you hadn’t heard. God bless.
@@kristin0943 thank you for the reference
I'll surely check them out
God bless you 🙏
@@kristin0943i didn’t really like chosen I couldn’t watch it, it was so different to the Bible and shows things we don’t know are true it’s not the truth. I watch all Bible movies tho.
I think there is movies for all. Just some of them aren’t the best quality or best portrayly of it. I can’t find a good one for mark
Love the chosen
What a wonderful film, bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to so many and to the cross of salvation and eternal life. Blessings to you all 🥰🙏🕊️🌿🦋
I’ve always thought of Jesus a lot like this portrayal. He is usually so serious and stoic but I’ve always thought of him as a happy , fun, and jovial! Pretty cool to see this movie!
First time I noticed that. Jesus is funny talking about the plank in the eye vs the speck of dust 42:55 🤣
I am so blessed by this movie 🙏 Thankyou Jesus for being the best gift I could ever receive ❤

@𝔓𝔯𝔬𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔱𝔦𝔠 𝔰𝔬𝔫 honestly the Bible is confusing in a sense that Jesus is God incarnate but how can he be God incarnate when we say the father the son and the Holy Spirit ? There are 3. It was Marcion of Sinope who stated that God and Jesus are two different Gods. God of the Old Testament is a god of punishment and unforgiving justice while Jesus in the new testament comes with love repentance and salvation. So which one do we follow ? That’s probably why some follow Jesus as God rather than God of the Old Testament. As you notice rarely do churches preach about the Old Testament? That’s because it’s based on Mosaic Law rather than what the early Christians wrote. If you think about it, if Jesus was there in the beginning, then he was there for the flood, genesis etc but there is no mention of him in the Old Testament except the small words of a coming prophesy to be fulfilled. If its truly a gods word, it has been corrupted and this was also mentioned in the Bible. The false teaching.
However, God (the Father) raised God (the Son). While being born a man he was still a vassal God during his earthly ministry.
Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings. Thanks and praise be to His name.
Feeling sick for a few days and just watching movies. Good movies though not the ones on TV. Thank you
My brother came to know Jesus through this movie at age 3. This guy, who potrayed Jesus, is the nicest guy too. Met him twice. :) He came to speak at an outreach we did back in 96
I've been praying for my brother since 1995..
The movie for the Gospel of John is Absolutely Fantastic! I watch that one every week!
I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I almost killed myself, and then Lord reminded me that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible.

So who needs TV or social media when we've got The Word of God that sets us free.

The student would follow the Rabbi and literally imitate him in every way, especially his teaching and mannerisms.
~As one would leave and begin to follow, others would say to him, “May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi.” The students followed him so closely that the dust from the road that came from the feet of the Rabbi would cover the disciple. That should be the desire of every disciple of Christ, to walk so close to him that we would be covered with his dust.
~If a young man was rejected by the Rabbi, he would say to him, “Go home, have children, and pray that they may become a Rabbi. Go home and ply your trade (go home and learn the family business).”
~Matthew 4:18-22 describes Jesus calling four of his disciples to follow him, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
~(Why were these men fisherman, because they were not chosen to be a potential Rabbi; they were plying their trade.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
~Jesus calling these young men was just the same as saying, “I believe you can be like me and I believe you have potential, you have what it takes. I believe God can use you.” This was one of the greatest privileges in their culture.
~Imagine you were on the shore when this scene unfolds. Jesus walks by and calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, they drop everything and immediately begin to follow Jesus. I would have thought that their father would have said, “… you kids now a days, running off, leaving me with all this work, where do you think you’re going.” Nothing like that was spoken. I imagine that Zebedee ran home and said something like this, “The boys aren’t with me mom, a Rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, came along and called our boys, and he thinks that they have what it takes to be a Rabbi someday.” Maybe the next morning, he sees the usual men preparing for the day’s work that is ahead of them and he can’t wait to brag on his sons. I assure you that this became the talk of the town, Zebedee’s family stock soared that day, and this is what every father dreamed of for his son.
~I often wondered why Peter would get out of a perfectly good boat in the middle of a storm. His Teacher was not in the boat and he wanted to be just like him, so he stepped out and walked on the water. Peter would rather be surrounded by the waves and be with Jesus than to be in a safe boat without him. Peter wanted to be covered with the dust of his Rabbi, to follow Him. What Jesus did, Peter wanted to do, where Jesus was, Peter wanted to be.
May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi!
~I was just thinking about how Jesus washed His dust off of the feet of his disciples. They were dirty, because they followed so closely behind Him. It was now time for them to step up, and have the world follow what they have to say about Jesus! Yet Judas was covered in that same dust, but he decided to betray him like billions of so-called Christians today that do not obey Jesus, but are still choosing to obey their flesh!

@@Jillian1stJohn3-9-10 I really love the movie The Gospel of John. I watched it again last night I May 31, 2023
@Jillian1stJohn3-9-10 Thanks for such a great commentn😊 I'm so happy to hear how great things are for you.
I cannot wait until we are all together in heaven with Jesus and our Father who art in Heaven.
Believe in God Jesus Christ❤️❤️😇😇 he is the only saviour praise the lord amen✝️ God bless us all his grace is upon us all amen 😊😊❤️❤️
I love you all through Christ my king
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God who with love our human minds can't fathom, gave His perfect holy life , while we were still sinners, so that we can spend eternity with Him! He rose from the grave proving His divinity and will call us to be with Him soon!! Praise God!! Hallelujah!
I was a Catholic and member of such catholic organization when I first saw this movies , but now I am converted Christian now and still watching it everytime I long for it..
MCGI Cares ☝️🙏♥️
So you are born again and left the falsehoods of Catholicism. Hallelujah!
Wow I have been looking for something like this to supplement my learning. I have read the New Testament several times so this is another great way to reinforce and retain what I have read. Thank you for doing this.
Please watch the Unhearth truth of the Bible from podcast. Or Bible exposition The old path. Someone asking questions and the answer is only reading the Bible.
I'm the Opposite way.
Reinforce and regain
Is there a bible version that this goes by because I noticed that 2:32:14 something didn't sound right. So I checked in the KJV and yes some words are modified but worse there are sentences that are skipped. Like at verse 20 it never mentioned when he said, *from my youth up* : what lack I yet?
Not that I'm following it word per word but i now wonder how often this is done in the movie. On account that modifications of taking out of the bible often leads to another's own opinions. (Rev. 22:18-19)
@@sparrowhawk5673 they used the NIV translation so some words won’t be the same as in KJV.
Praise God 💖 Thank you Jesus for what you did for us on the cross 💗 God bless you all in the might name of Jesus

Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

John 20:28-29 KJV - And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Why did Jesus call Thomas blessed here and not rebuke him for blasphemy?
@꧁ 𝔓𝔯𝔬𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔱𝔦𝔠 ꧂ John 1:1 KJV - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
@𝔓𝔯𝔬𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔱𝔦𝔠 𝔰𝔬𝔫 Revelation 19:11-21 KJV - And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
John 1:1-3 KJV - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Well, I got diagnosed on Christmas Eve. I missed Christmas with my family, but I have completely recovered. Thank you for your prayer. You are a blessing!!!
My son go to sleep every night watching this his favor part is woe to you teachers of the law…
My favorite chapter too 23. 😂 Jesus hated the sin of pride and self righteousness
Happy Sabbath Day, the 7th day God created for us to rest and worship Him 🥰🙏🏻 God bless brothers & sisters
That's not important
If it is in the 10th commandments then it is infact very important brother 😃
@@franktrautman2817 It is in fact very important. We are to keep all 10 of God's commandments. No person or church has the power to change God's commandments. They have removed the all important 4th commandment but have no authority over God to do this. Sad that people think this is totally acceptable.
@@papflower610 Can you really keep all of Gods commandments?
No one can access the Father except through Jesus Christ. It's the blood of Christ that atoned for our sins, not the observance of the Sabbath.
Father God, bless all Your children who call out to You, please bless them abundantly spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially. I thank You for hearing this prayer. In Jesus Christ powerful name ... Amen, amen, and amen!

25/02/2022 South Africa. This is the second time I’ve watched this movie. I cried again. Our Lord was put to death for our sins. Sigh.... have we learned anything? We’ve made so many mistakes. Lord help us🙏.... I recognized the South African stars☺️some of them has been called to higher service. May they Rest In Peace. God bless
"The voice you are hearing is Richard Kiley. Spared no expense." - for real though. Thank you for posting this movie.
I said the same thing in my head. 😂😂😂
Praise God! What a blessing this production is!
BY FAR MY FAVORITE DEPICTION OF THE BIBLE. The actor who plays JESUS is so joyous in his delivery. LOVE IT.
Coach Michael...
Hello..yes this is good..but if you can get the old movie...King of Kings you will not stop crying...it's a old movie but I know you can still get it...
Take care..
Jesus Christ never gave up on me, I was lost and in sin walking a path that leads to death. but at a time i would have never expected, Jesus spoke to me in a vision. He said he loves me, that he is coming soon, and to repent. ever since then I feared the one true living God. Thanks you Jesus Christ
What a powerful portraying of My Lord Jesus. I am in tears...
It was a beautiful movie
The movie for the Gospel of John is Absolutely Fantastic!!
I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I found out that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... Who needs TV or social media when you've got The Word of God! I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my entire life to Christ. After I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, I stopped making excuses when I saw that I was considered a child of the devil!!!
~For years every time I read through the 4 gospels I'd always wonder about Jesus simply saying "Follow Me", and then the apostles one by one would drop everything and followed him. I found this amazing article and I was balling my eyes out 😇😥💕
It's called:
"MAY YOU BE COVERED WITH THE DUST OF YOUR RABBI"
In the New Testament a Rabbi would call a new disciple by saying, “Follow Me,” it meant from that time forward their life would change drastically as they would be dead to their old life and alive to their new life. They would literally leave everything they knew and begin to follow their new teacher.
~If you were called to follow a Rabbi, you would be taking their set of rules and their teaching upon you, with the idea that one day you would perpetuate their ideas to future generations. A Rabbi’s set of teachings in that day was called their “yoke.” This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). The Rabbis of Jesus’ day put a heavy yoke loaded with burdens on men and did not help to lift them.
~Around the age of 14 or 15 years old, the young men would finish their schooling and the Rabbis would go to these schools and question these young men. They would then choose the best of the best to be their disciples and would call them using the same phrase that Jesus used, “Follow Me.” The Rabbi wanted to find out if you had what it takes to spread his yoke.

These movies are good, they help by giving you a visual while you read the gospel. The Gospel of John is really powerful.
Yes!all gospels send out a unique presentation.John’s gospel revealed Jesus divinity,Mathew’s,the fullfilment of all the predictions from the Old Testament,Luke’s is for the Gentile people like me,Mark’s point out Jesus’s words seen in his doing ,Like many miracles.I love all of these gospels because some event is recorded in one gospel that cannot found in the other.

~Around the age of 14 or 15 years old, the young men would finish their schooling and the Rabbis would go to these schools and question these young men. They would then choose the best of the best to be their disciples and would call them using the same phrase that Jesus used, “Follow Me.” The Rabbi wanted to find out if you had what it takes to spread his yoke. The new disciple would then leave his hometown and everything he knew, and would follow him everywhere, giving his life to be exactly like his Rabbi. The student would follow the Rabbi and literally imitate him in every way, especially his teaching and mannerisms.
~As one would leave and begin to follow, others would say to him, “May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi.” The students followed him so closely that the dust from the road that came from the feet of the Rabbi would cover the disciple. That should be the desire of every disciple of Christ, to walk so close to him that we would be covered with his dust.
~If a young man was rejected by the Rabbi, he would say to him, “Go home, have children, and pray that they may become a Rabbi. Go home and ply your trade (go home and learn the family business).”
~Matthew 4:18-22 describes Jesus calling four of his disciples to follow him, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
~(Why were these men fisherman, because they were not chosen to be a potential Rabbi; they were plying their trade.) And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
~Jesus calling these young men was just the same as saying, “I believe you can be like me and I believe you have potential, you have what it takes. I believe God can use you.” This was one of the greatest privileges in their culture.
~Imagine you were on the shore when this scene unfolds. Jesus walks by and calls James and John, the sons of Zebedee, they drop everything and immediately begin to follow Jesus. I would have thought that their father would have said, “… you kids now a days, running off, leaving me with all this work, where do you think you’re going.” Nothing like that was spoken. I imagine that Zebedee ran home and said something like this, “The boys aren’t with me mom, a Rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, came along and called our boys, and he thinks that they have what it takes to be a Rabbi someday.” Maybe the next morning, he sees the usual men preparing for the day’s work that is ahead of them and he can’t wait to brag on his sons. I assure you that this became the talk of the town, Zebedee’s family stock soared that day, and this is what every father dreamed of for his son.
~I often wondered why Peter would get out of a perfectly good boat in the middle of a storm. His Teacher was not in the boat and he wanted to be just like him, so he stepped out and walked on the water. Peter would rather be surrounded by the waves and be with Jesus than to be in a safe boat without him. Peter wanted to be covered with the dust of his Rabbi, to follow Him. What Jesus did, Peter wanted to do, where Jesus was, Peter wanted to be.
May you be covered with the dust of your Rabbi!
~I was just thinking about how Jesus washed His dust off of the feet of his disciples. They were dirty, because they followed so closely behind Him. It was now time for them to step up, and have the world follow what they have to say about Jesus! Yet Judas was covered in that same dust, but he decided to betray him like billions of so-called Christians today that do not obey Jesus, but are still choosing to obey their flesh!

The movie for the Gospel of John is Absolutely Fantastic!!
I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I found out that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... Who needs TV or social media when you've got The Word of God! I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my entire life to Christ. After I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, I stopped making excuses when I saw that I was considered a child of the devil!!!
~For years every time I read through the 4 gospels I'd always wonder about Jesus simply saying "Follow Me", and then the apostles one by one would drop everything and followed him. I found this amazing article and I was balling my eyes out 😇😥💕
It's called:
"MAY YOU BE COVERED WITH THE DUST OF YOUR RABBI"
In the New Testament a Rabbi would call a new disciple by saying, “Follow Me,” it meant from that time forward their life would change drastically as they would be dead to their old life and alive to their new life. They would literally leave everything they knew and begin to follow their new teacher.
~If you were called to follow a Rabbi, you would be taking their set of rules and their teaching upon you, with the idea that one day you would perpetuate their ideas to future generations. A Rabbi’s set of teachings in that day was called their “yoke.” This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). The Rabbis of Jesus’ day put a heavy yoke loaded with burdens on men and did not help to lift them.

Awesome job on this movie. A true meaningful to understanding God's word.
God's grace only
This is a wonderful telling of the Matthew Gospel and a beautiful and reverent depiction of Jesus. For decades I've been trying to obey the command, "Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength". It wasn't easy because of the harsh way I was taught Catholic beliefs when I was a child. One can't love whom one is scared of! But I've found that movies like this and "The Chosen" series have helped me start seeing in my heart just how approachable and loving Our Lord is. I've been watching this movie in segments on my Smart TV, and look forward to continuing to watch tonight.
Bruce Marchiano is one of the few Jesus actors who have brilliantly portrayed both His divinity AND humanity--the anguish, the joy and laughter, the anger at the Pharisees...
His American accent spoils his performance, best if it was performed in an English accent. Loving the bible story. Praise the Lord
The story of our Savior Jesus Christ is amazing. The power in the Lord Jesus Christ name is the ultimate power.
In the Lord Jesus Christ name everything is possible. It sure would be a beautiful world if all believed.
THIS FILM IS ACTUALLY WORD FOR WORD WITH THE GIDEON BIBLE its fantastic to follow with the words and the film .
Have you seen the movie for the Gospel of John, it's Absolutely Fantastic! I watch that one every week!
I was in church for 50 years and I never read my Bible and then 5.5 years ago I almost killed myself, and then Lord reminded me that it only takes 1 Day to Listen to the dramatized New Testament Bible. Ever since then I've been reading/listening to my Bible cover to cover every single month.. While I drive, walk, work, clean, bathe... So who needs TV or social media when we've got The Word of God that sets us free. I suddenly had a radical conversion and surrendered my entire life to Christ...after I read 1st JOHN 3:9-10, it scared me too the core and I stopped making excuses for my sin.
