The Visual Bible: Matthew (1993)

In the year 62 A.D., the seasoned apostle Matthew takes us on a transcendental journey back to his youth, where he bore witness to the extraordinary life of Jesus. His narration peels back the centuries, immersing us in the divine yet humanly relatable world of Jesus. From the miraculous birth that stirred hearts to His baptism and wilderness temptation, viewers are invited to traverse the spiritual landscapes of His life. Experience the compassionate wisdom of the Sermon on the Mount and the transformative power of love and redemption as Jesus spreads His revolutionary message. Walk the paths of Galilee alongside Him, as He gathers His disciples, performs miracles, and instills a new understanding of love. The film stars Richard Kiley, who brings depth and sincerity to the role of Matthew, and Bruce Marchiano, whose passionate portrayal of Jesus captures both His divine nature and human warmth. "The Visual Bible: Matthew" is a faithful adaptation, staying true to every word from the Gospel of Matthew in the New International Version. Released in 1993, this impactful film was the result of a concerted effort by Christian filmmakers to create a Jesus-centric film which was word-for-word the Gospel. The result is an emotive portrayal of Jesus, a deity with a heart that ached for humanity's suffering, extending a healing touch into their shattered lives. A god-man who held the universe's power yet allowed His own blood to be spilled for the sake of humanity. Now, on the 15th anniversary of its US release, "The Visual Bible: Matthew" remains just as compelling. It invites you to experience the Word of God anew, to feel His promises as never before, and to truly perceive Jesus in all His divine glory and compassionate humanity. This film is not just a retelling—it's an invitation to experience Jesus like never before.
