4A CompilationMovie based on the 2013 TV miniseries ''[[Series/TheBible2013 The Bible]]'', starring Creator/DiogoMorgado as UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}.

6----
7!! This film provides examples of:
8* AdaptationDistillation: The miniseries itself took [[Literature/TheBible an ~800,000-word book]] and squeezed it into ten 44-minute episodes. The movie takes the four episodes that deal with UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} and further squeezes them into a 135-minute movie. May be CompressedAdaptation for some. To be fair, a lot of the stuff in the Bible can't really be filmed; see, pretty much the entire book of Numbers. It is ''exactly'' what it sounds like.
9* AdaptationInducedPlothole: When Jesus saves the woman caught in adultery, her crime/sin isn't explained.
10* BibleTimes: Naturally.
11* {{Bowdlerise}}: Because of the "{{Satan}} looks like [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Obama]]" controversy from the [[Series/TheBible2013 original miniseries]], said scene is cut in this version.
12* CompilationMovie: Made up of the Jesus portions of the original TV series, plus deleted material.
13* FlippingTheTable: Jesus pulls this off pretty spectacularly in the temple, before giving the money changers a speech that probably singed their beards. After all, to him it was basically like the mafia operating out of his living room.
14* FramingDevice: Narrated by the apostle John during his exile in Patmos. The film opens with lines from the [[Literature/TheFourGospels Gospel of John]] and ends with lines from the [[Literature/BookOfRevelation Book of Revelation]], both traditionally attributed to John.
15* MrFanservice: Amusingly enough, an unintentional effect of the casting leads to a MemeticMutation of "Hot Jesus"!
16* PassionPlay: Naturally, it contains scenes leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
17* PietaPlagiarism: The movie uses the scene from the TV show (which it would pretty much have to).
18* TitleDrop: Several times.
