Jesus withdraws with the twelve to lands outside Herod's jurisdiction. The disciples know it is a critical period in the Master's life, He reveals now that they are the Church, predicts His death and resurrection. Peter, James and John witness Christ's transfiguration, Jesus heals the epileptic boy, blesses little children, and raises Lazarus from the dead, Jesus' triumphal entry to Jerusalem is halted at the Temple gates when He sees the money changers in the Temple courtyard.

The climactic film in this distinguished series depicts the cross at Calvary and Jesus' crucifixion; Judas throws the silver coins at the feet of Caiaphas, hangs himself with his sash. Jesus' tomb is sealed, then discovered empty. This mighty episode closes with Christ's awe-inspiring reappearance to His disciples in the upper room, the convincing of the doubting Thomas brings Jesus' words "Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believe," to one and all.
