Trivia
The crucifixion scene was excruciating for Brian Deacon as he sat on a nail and had to stretch his hands out for hours without moving. He had fake nails and red fingernail polish to make it look like nails going through the wrist. In some shots, John Heyman and Paul Eshelman took turns on the cross in order to free up Deacon.

During the prologue, a motor vehicle of some kind can be seen moving (for a fraction of a second) in the extreme background. See more »Alternate Versions
An alternate version was filmed concurrently with the English one, with the actors speaking in the authentic languages (Aramic, Hebrew, Greek and Latin) appropriate for the events and people portrayed. This version is then used with a voice-over narration in any of several modern language. See more »Soundtracks
