Miniseries on the adult life of Jesus, the figure that Christians believe was the son of God and the Messiah. The story reveals how Jesus grew from a simple carpenter to a man whoses spiritual teachings and loving ways continue to inspire billions of followers nearly two thousand years after his crucifixion. The story also focuses on Jesus' relationship with his mother Mary and his earthly father Joseph; his twelve apostles; and his devoted friends and followers, such as Mary Magdalene and his cousin John the Baptist. It also illustrates the politically charged times in which Roman governor Pontius Pilate ruled over Judea to the disdain of Jewish leaders and residents.
