"Jesus Part I" is the first part of TV movie that tells the story of Jesus.It tells a story of a poor carpenter whose teachings changed the world and he's still followed by hundreds of millions of people around the world, two thousand years after his death and resurrection,at present.
The first part focused on the public life of Jesus.It consists of Jesus getting baptized by John the Baptist;his temptations from Satan;his teachings; and the miracles that he performed. All his activities allowed him to get noticed by numerous people.Some became apostles.Some became disciples. Some were threatened by his influence among the people like the ones at the Sanhedrin.
