English Summary:

Beginning before the Nativity and extending through the Crucifixion and Resurrection, this mini-series brings to life all of the sweeping drama in the life of Jesus, as told by the Gospels.

The storyline of Jesus of Nazareth is a kind of cinematic Diatessaron, or "Gospel harmony", blending the narratives of all four New Testament accounts. It takes a fairly naturalistic approach, de-emphasising special effects when miracles are depicted, and presenting Jesus as more or less evenly divine and human. The familiar Christian episodes are presented chronologically: the betrothal, and later marriage, of Mary and Joseph; the Annunciation; the Visitation; the circumcision of John the Baptist; the Nativity of Jesus; the visit of the Magi; the circumcision of Jesus; the Census of Quirinius; the flight into Egypt and Massacre of the Innocents; the Finding in the Temple; the Baptism of Jesus.

Hungarian Summary:

Mária jegyese volt egyidősebb ácsnak, Józsefnak. Mielőtt egybe keltek volna, kitűnt, hogy Mária gyermeket vár. József igaz ember volt, tehát úgy döntött, hogy titkon elbocsájtja Máriát. Még ezen töprengett, megjelent néki álmában az angyal és közölte, hogy ne féljen magához venni Máriát, mert a gyermek, kit a szive alatt hord, nem férfitól származik, hanem az Istentől...
