    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Ironically, R. Henderson Bland was selected for the role of Jesus in a silent film because star/director Sidney Olcott liked the way his voice sounded on the telephone.
    • Goofs
      Jesus is shown healing Bartimaeus from his blindness but the verse used was Matthew 20:34 where he heals 2 blind men instead of 1. Using the Mark or Luke passage would have made this scene accurate.
    • Alternate versions
      The Vitagraph Co. of America released a six reel re-edited version of the film after it acquired Kalem's properties in 1919.
    • Connections
      Featured in The Great Christmas Movies (1998)
