His first appearance with Mary, is stunning. He comes like an angel of God, like St. Michael with a sword in his hand. Then she get to meet him on a human level. I have never seen a better opening to a “life” of Christ.film. Roumie has this way of projecting both authority and familiarity. Sometimes the lines are are bit TOO familiar; which to me detracts. All and all though, what he says to his Disciples is spot on ,for he is like a teacher speaking to men who are still very young,. The decision to cast young actors to play the role. is just great because it serves to explain their lack of comprehension. To cast Peter as a married man is perfectly right, since this explains why he is a natural leader even not much older. To make”Zeb” the father of James and John an important character is right on. That we are in a Jewish world he helps make plain, albeit the central European world we are most familiar with.

Never Cavezel stomping on a snake head's. You have to watch the interaction between Anderson's Judas and Neeley's Jesus at the last supper to see what genuine true acting looks like. Caviezel can't even come close. Look at the interaction between Ellimon's Mary Magdalene and Neeley Jesus and you will see true art! Watch Dennin's Pilate and Neeley's Jesus interact. Jesus say only one line and he pulls the whole seen off conviincingly (with great acting from Dennin too of course.

I've never been so engaged and I've never cried as much watching Jonathan Roumie as Jesus. His countenance, his voice, his simplicity, his humanity. He can act, not just his physicality but maybe it's also how The Chosen is written. Playing Jesus becomes Jonathan Roumie. He portrays Jesus as most authentic as Son of Man and as Son of God.

There is no way you have ever seen Ted Neeley's Gethsemane or you could not say that Caviezel's "performance" was any good because Caviezel was NOT acting. He was not performing. It was not art!!! He was really sick and possibly even dying. That is NOT acting. Neeley's "I only want to say if there is a way...take this cup away from me..." is acting. Neeley's "watch how I die......" followed by images of art history of his crucifixion is art!!! The mixture of old and new...ancient and modern...and being able to pull it off convincingly on a very LIMITED Budget is art!! It is acting!! It is a true performance.

“The Passion” is some,thing modernists find hard to take because of the brutality of the depiction. As far as the acting is concerned, Caviezel has both the handicap of delivering his lines in a foreign language. and the advantage of it being in a foreign language.He is like an actor in a silent film. Certainly the scenes that most break me up and those he acts with Our Lady, She recoils from what she is seeing to the point of running away, where she shows her full humanity and her relationship with her son. When she runs toward him, surely one must have a heart of stone not to weep at the sight. Love conquers all even when experiencing hell on earth.

You're nuts!!! stomping on the snake's (was it supposed to be Satan?) head in the beginning of the film totally blew Caviezel's film for me. That was NOT Jesus stomping on a snakes head. If it was Satan...even less so Jesus. That was NOT how Jesus was going to bring about the kingdom. Caviezel was way too violent a Jesus and simply not convincing from that moment on! Jesus knew he had to die AND RISE....to bring about his kingdom....no other way. Caviezel head smashing...total nonsense and total Gibson. It ruined the film and his protrayal of Jesus from the beginning...I had to walk out from there. Totally unconvincing for me as Jesus.

Definitely Jim Cavaziel. This is what I imagine the real Christ would be. He was gentle but firm. He stood for everything the Father sent him to do. It was one of the most heartbreaking, real showing of what Christ had to suffer for all of us. Thank you Jesus.

Too western. Jesus was from Palestine. Too frail, Jesus was a builder who worked with lumber and stone, and used heavy tools. Powell's a great actor, though.

Jim Caviezel and Jonathan Roumie. They are very different in appearance, but they both have the HEART. We can’t know for certain what Jesus really looked like. I grew up thinking that He looked like the pictures in School and Church, but realistically, he would have looked more like Roumie. I love the familiar feeling that I have when I watch Jonathan Roumie in The Chosen, and he seems to be that way in reality too. There’s something very comforting about him in general.

I am a born again Christian, Robert Powell as Jesus was just spectacular I felt the Holy spirit move in me, it was so real and very special. I have seen many other actors play Jesus but did not get the feelings I got from Robert Powell. I truly believe God Used him to convert and bring the Lord to life in Christians ✝️

I also think the script between The Passion and The Chosen are very different. The Passion is painfully serious...and The Chosen is light hearted. Both are beautifully practicing their faith.

He must have studied Jesus very closely from reading.

He embodies The Fruits of The Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). He also brings a sense of humor! He doesn't come across like a statue or a painting, but as a person. He's definitely my favorite.

its Jesus of Nazareth is a 1977 British-Italian television miniseries directed by Franco Zeffirelli iv seen them all this is the best ROBERT POWELL

The masses have spoken. There is nothing such as too divine. Robert Powell hands down nailed it, he epitomizes Jesus in every way. Jim Caviezel did a great job but if you have watched the 1977 version, Robert nailed the portrayal of Jesus. A fun fact is he intentionally tried not to blink during his part. I think it was a mini series. Also his demeanour was perfect.

Yes, he intentionally did not blink. I wish he would have because that would have played more into his human side and I wouldn't be so distracted seeing how long he could go without "humanly" blinking.

All those who portrayed Jesus were exceptional. I lean towards Jonathan Roumie in The Chosen only because his divine personality succeeds in reaching out to a broader audience of Christians and non-Christians alike. The love of Jesus continues to be inclusive of all of us.

Robert Powell in Jesus of Nazareth is the best portrayal of Jesus for me.. His eyes and voice give me goosebumps in several scenes. My all time favorite and still makes me cry everytime I watch it..

The part where he sees the Temple being used for "profit of business deals" made me cry to see how angry he was and to see his tenderness over the children that sat on his lap. One more part that I loved, "when a good General of the Roman Army, "came to him to ask him, "please help my servant who is more like a son and is gravely ill" he asked Jesus of Nazareth to tell him that all will be alright. Jesus Christ looked at him and said, "I could come with you? He this good General and Samaritan said, "I know, as a general I say "do this to others and they will do it, as sure as you tell me that you will do it and my servant will be cured." Jesus Christ turned to his disciple and expressed "awe" of this man because" the man had "FAITH" in Jesus Christ. Jesus turned to his apostles and said, "do you see the FAITH of this man?" He believes when I say, "go home and your servant will be fine." The general and good Samaritan went to his friends and learned his servant was alive and well." He looked back at Jesus and was stunned by the miracle that was presented to him by Jesus. I loved this part more than I can say because Jesus claim he has more faith by just hearing Jesus say, "Go home and you'll find your serve alive and well." Loved it.

​@@homegown1234yeah this is what I saying in my comment too,this is what i say about powell portraying JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH..

The reason Robert Powell’s performance was the best (in my opinion) is because he used a technique where he would not blink when he was conveying the power of Christ. This was the technique he used as an actor that made his portrayal so effective.

I have lost count of how many times I have watched Jesus of Nazareth. Robert Powell's portrayal has touched many lives. I love when he's teaching and it seems like he's so caught up in thoughts of God that he has to pause. Like he is being swept up with the beauty of what he's saying. He doesn't just portray Jesus as a teacher, but as a teacher inspired by God. The worlds that the movies Jesus of Nazareth and Passion of the Christ were filmed in are so different. In the 1970s the suffering of Christ was more familiar to the average person. It didn't have to be dramatized so graphically because most people knew the story. In the 2000s it was less widely known to the average person so the brutal depiction in the Passion was maybe necessary. It was very hard for people who had been Christians for decades to watch the Passion because Christ's suffering was so personally felt. Kudos to Mel Gibson and Jim Cavieziel. They brought the spotlight to Jesus' life when the world needed to be reminded. But I won't be watching it again and again like Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus of Nazareth is a great movie. The actor who played John the Baptist is also amazing in that film. When I watch the The Passion, I never see Jim Caviezel, I only see Jesus. If I’m not mistaken I believe Jim even said that he spent time everyday in Adoration and asked Jesus that when people see the film that they would only see Him.

Jim Caviezel hands down not even close. The scene of him working and splashing water on His Mother such humanity. His divinity shown clearly portrayed when he encounters His Mother on the way of the cross. His acting on the cross was real pain. The aramaic and the fact that He is a believer really makes Him an alter christe. idk how anyone can disagree

Runt looks crazed, Jesus was more poised

For Robert Powell, the Beatitudes speech was breathy and divine (that was later on in the movie though and that was when he performed the feeding the masses miracle, wasn't it) but the other speeches in Jesus of Nazareth he was speaking as a normal man, especially when he was telling the children the Two Sons parable. Robert Powell did the best by far!!!

One of the reason I like Robert Powell's version is because almost every scene you looked forward to the way the actor presented Jesus' words. For example, the way he presented the parable of the prodigal was amazing and touching.

The Jesus in The Chosen really touched my heart the most as he displays so much love, gentleness, relatability and simplicity and he is just so lovable… when u watch him you just gotta love him…gitta love Jesus

I'd have to say that the Passion of the Christ, was the best, most realistic, film I've ever seen, a every one that has been filmed, breaks my heart, I know what's coming, but I can't help but to shed tears. That part in the film, where they are whipping Jesus, and he goes to his knees, but then, struggles and stands back up, and the Roman that is beating him, switches whips, to the one with metal barbs, breaks my heart every time, it's like Jesus hasn't suffered enough, to pay for everyone's sins, and the barbs rip the flesh from his ribs, I just wanted to yell, " Stop it, he's suffered enough!!! " All of them are great, but Passion of the Christ, was the most realistic film I've ever seen.

"A certain man had two sons..." If I HAD to choose, it would be Robert Powell. They covered so much ground, had so many great moments that there is just no way that anything else can top it. But Jim Caviezel's The Passion of the Christ comes a very, very close second. How I loved the moment he spoke to Pontius Pilate about Truth. I still watch that scene from time to time. "All men who hear the Truth hear My Voice." And the languages, hearing them speak in Aramaic and Latin. Amazing movie!

I once read that they tried to portray Robert Powell not blinking as much as possible, to give him that divine appearance

Definitely! Jim Caviezel is the one that has been inspiring to me. I will never be able to get out of my mind. His passion and crucifixion. It made me realize how my own sins put him on the cross for my salvation. I know of many people who saw the passion of the Christ will not see it again because of the intenseness of his scourging at the pillar and crucifixion. And to find out later the suffering that Jim caviezel went through to portray Jesus showed me that carrying my own cross was so easy. God bless all the actors who did portray Jesus. ✝️❤️📿

Robert Powell, Jesus of Nazareth, all the way. The intensity of his eyes, the calmness of his voice, the way he embodied Christ, was AMAZING. Just finished listening to it (can't watch, at work 😁), now I will probably start Ben-Hur then Quo Vadis. Last year I watched them backwards. 🤣 Happy Easter! ✝

Several years ago I came home after a third shift job. I sat down in the recliner and turned on the TV. Switched the channels and came across "Greatest Story Ever Told!" I decided to watch it. I don't remember what part it was that I dozed off but like a light switch being turned on I woke up and on the screen was His face and He says, "I Am the resurrection of life, he who believes in me, though he were dead yet shall he live..." Anyway he finishes the verse then pauses and then says "Do you believe this Martha?" At this point I was just losing it and my heart was pounding out of my chest! I said yes! The reason I was freaking out was and still is is my name is Martha! Of course I believe this I always have since childhood, but it was the timing of it. It gave me chills!

From reading the Bible, I think though the other actors are good too, Robert Powell comes closest to playing who Jesus really was. You can see it in the scene when he was staring at Peter, it was like he was seeing into the future, and loved Peter. That was an incredible thing to do with just a look without saying a word. He must have studied Jesus very closely from reading.
