    • Trivia
      Jeremy Sisto is actually a practicing Buddhist due to his father, though he grew up having Roman Catholic faith.
    • Goofs
      The crucifixion scene in this film is totally wrong as the man nailing Jesus to the cross is not a Roman Soldier but a Jew from the crowd.
    • Alternate versions
      The international version of this film includes scenes that had to be cut due to time constraints on the CBS network. These scenes include:
      • Extended version of the flashback scene where Mary tells Joseph about the angel
      • Extended version of Jesus' farewell to Mary of Bethany, with Lazarus throwing him out in anger
      • Satan showing Jesus the execution of Joan of Arc during the Gethsemane temptation
      • Extended crucifixion with closeups of the nail going into Jesus' wrist and of Him screaming
      • Brief scene of Judas hanging himself after the crucifixion
      • Alternate ending involving Jesus coming back to present day while joyously meeting up with various children

    The Human Jesus
    I am glad that someone has finally portrayed Jesus as a man and not as an angelic Superman. This is a Jesus that I could follow. A Jesus that joked with his friends and yet they knew He was more than just a man. A Jesus who could fall into temptation and yet knew he had a higher calling. I'm sure that some will be upset with Sisto's Jesus as being TOO modern, but he portrayed Him as a Christ for all the ages. I wish that more biblical movies would have their characters as human beings and not cardboard cut-outs.
