Jesus, also known as The Jesus Film, is a 1979 film dramatization of the life of Jesus as found in The Bible. It stars Brian Deacon as Jesus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Unlike previous Jesus films like The Greatest Story Ever Told, King of Kings and Jesus of Nazareth which take an Adaptation Distillation or Adaptation Expansion approach to all The Four Gospels, the film is based on the Gospel of Luke. The events, structure, dialogue and narration are taken virtually word-for-word from Luke using the Good News Bible translation, also known as Today's English Version.Allegedly the most-watched and most-translated film of all time, due largely to its global translation and distribution by Christian missionaries. Indeed, it was intended as a Christian missionary tool from the start. But because missionaries usually show the film to people free of charge, accurate figures for total viewings are pretty much impossible to come by, so don't expect to see the film on "Most Watched Films" lists alongside Gone with the Wind and Avatar any time soon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adapted Out: Since the film focuses on Luke, details only found in the other Gospels in the Bible are omitted. This includes the visit of the Wise Men (Magi) following Jesus's birth and the crown of thorns Jesus wore at his crucifixion. Bits do creep in like Levi the tax collector being identified as the apostle Matthew (only in the Gospel of Matthew). Not everything from Luke is shown, like the genealogy of Jesus. The Visual Bible: Matthew and The Gospel of John are later, similar films which do show every bit of a particular Gospel, also to the point of omitting details from elsewhere.
