The Gospel Of John Movie Torrent Download
Nov 14, 2003. The story of Jesus' life as told by the apostle John, narrated by Christopher Plummer. May 21, 2014. This movie is an embarrassment. A wimpy, insecure Jesus spends two hours wandering around in a long, hippy-esque robe, hitting the high points of the Gospels and not even getting them right! I was mentally correcting Jesus the entire film, as only half the quote would be correct: The 'Our Father' (you. Intimate and reflective, 'The Gospel of John' offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the incomparable life and times of Jesus Christ. The dialogue of the movie is word for word, solely based on the Good News Bible (also known as Today's English Version).

Criticism[edit]
While the film is largely a faithful depiction of the Gospel of John, some have commented that the inclusion of Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper has no Biblical citation.[3] However, according to the Gospels, she was one of the women who accompanied Jesus and the disciples to Jerusalem, was present at the Crucifixion and burial of Jesus, was the first to whom Jesus appeared at the Resurrection, and was with the disciples in the upperroom after the Resurrection.[4] Thus, like many modern movies about Jesus, the producers are faithfully attempting to help their audience see what the Gospel writers sometimes have not included.[citation needed]
