King of the Nazarenes: Part II - To the Cross

King of the Nazarenes: Part II - To the Cross is a 2035 American epic biblical drama film directed, produced, and co-written by Tyler Jett. It depicts the remainder of Jesus' life from The Sermon on the Mount to His Crucifixion and burial as described by the four canonical Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The film has been praised by multiple churches as "the most biblically-accurate film ever made." Even though this is the case, certain events have been altered compared to the canonical Gospels.
The film depicts the remaining months of Jesus' life following The Sermon on the Mount. It begins with His raising of a widow's son, where He is anointed by a sinful woman, His rebuking of the unbelieving Galileans, the unbelief of Jesus' mother and brothers, His fulfillment of Psalm 78:2, His rejection in Nazareth where He is almost thrown off of a mountain, the execution of the Baptizer, the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus walking on water with Peter, the transfiguration, Peter's confirmation that Jesus is Christ, the raising of Lazarus, His final anointing, the entering of Jerusalem, The Last Supper, the Agony at Gethsemane, Judas' betrayal, Peter's denial, the Flagellation, the Crucifixion of Christ and His burial. The film was mostly shot in Italy, and the dialogue is in English, Hebrew, reconstructed Aramaic, and Latin.
== Plot Synopsis ==
Jesus preaches the Sermon on the Mount to four-thousand people. Following the sermon, Jesus formally meets Judas, before witnessing a funeral procession entering the town of Nain. Jesus becomes full of pity for the widow, who had lost her only son. He says to her, "do not weep." He then touches her son's forehead, raising him. He then enters the town of Nain with His Apostles, where a sinful woman anoints Him. Jesus and the Apostles then leave and enter Galilee, where Jesus rebukes the unbelieving Galileans. He then commissions the twelve Apostles so He can return to Nazareth. When He returns, He professes Himself the Law of Moses, where He is nearly thrown from a cliff. Meanwhile, just outside Jerusalem, a woman requests the head of John the Baptist to be given to her on a silver platter. Herod then requests the execution of the Baptist, and the Romans behead him. Jesus hears the news and returns to the Apostles, who have already begun mourning. To clear His head, Jesus takes His Apostles up to a mountain top where He begins to preach. Jesus heals a deaf-mute in front of a growing crowd, before beginning to preach. Later in the day, the crowd starts requesting food, and a boy gives his only food to Jesus; five loaves and two fish. Jesus tells the Apostles to portion the loaves and fish out and put the pieces into baskets. They oblige, and Andrew is told to open one of the baskets. He opens it, and the basket is overflowing. The Apostles rejoice and begin handing out the loaves and fish to the crowd. Following the sermon, Jesus goes to pray and the Apostles get into a boat to get back home. A storm begins to brew, and ends up nearly destroying their boat due to lightning and wind. Across the water, a man begins walking toward the Apostles, and they believe it is a ghost. Jesus begins to speak, telling the Apostles to not be afraid. Simon requests to walk on water with Jesus, and he steps out, walking towards Jesus. Simon begins to become scared, and starts to sink, but he is saved by Jesus, who gets in the boat with the others and calms the storm. Later, back on the shore, Jesus takes Simon, James the Greater, and John to a mountain, where He is transfigured. Afterwards, the Apostles enter Philippi, where Simon professes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Jesus reacts by renaming Simon to Peter, the rock. Later, a man speaks with Jesus, who tells Him that Lazarus is dead. Jesus and the Apostles head to Bethany, and it ends up taking them two days to arrive. Once in Bethany, Martha, Lazarus' sister, tells Mary that the Teacher is here. Mary drops to Jesus' feet and begs Him to raise Lazarus. Jesus weeps, and raises Lazarus from the dead. Jesus then purchases a donkey and rides it into Jerusalem with the Apostles. The group then has supper together, where Jesus says two things, one of the Apostles will betray Him, and Peter will deny Him three times before a rooster crows. Jesus then goes into the garden of Gethsemane to pray, and Peter, James the Greater, and John follow Him. Jesus experiences agony in the garden before getting up and beginning to leave, where He is stopped by Centurions. Peter cuts an ear off of one of the Centurions, and Jesus heals the man. Judas walks in front of the Centurions holding a bag of silver, before kissing Jesus on the forehead, signaling his betrayal. The Centurions arrest Jesus and take Him to Pontius Pilate. On the way to Pilate, a group of Pharisees finds Peter, where he denies he knows Jesus. At that moment, after denying Christ three times, a rooster crows. Jesus is then taken to Pilate, where he requests for Jesus to be flogged and then let go. Afterwards, Jesus is brought back to Pilate wearing a crown of thorns atop his head, and the overseeing Pharisees demand He be crucified. Pilate washes his hands before calling for His crucifixion. Jesus is given a cross and He begins carrying it to Golgotha. John and the Marys follow close behind Him. Jesus is lashed and falls to the floor, dropping His cross. A Centurion demands someone help Jesus carry the cross, and a man named Simon stands up to help. Meanwhile, Judas attempts to return the thirty pieces of silver to the Pharisees. Afterwards, Judas hangs himself, but the rope snaps and he falls onto a rock, making his intestines burst out. Once at Golgotha, the Centurions lash Simon before nailing Jesus to His cross and raising Him into the air. He ends up being crucified in-between two thieves. One of the thieves tells Jesus to take Himself down from the cross, but the other thief asks Jesus if he could have a seat in the Kingdom, where Jesus says; "today you will be with me in Paradise." After about an hour, Jesus tells John to take care of His mother, before questioning God. Later, Jesus realizes His time has come, and He looks into the sky, commends His spirit to God, and bows His head. Immediately, a massive earthquake begins, signalling to the world that the Messiah has been martyred. Jesus is then taken down from the cross and wrapped in a shroud, then being buried in a tomb. Three days later, the tomb is opened, and the shroud is empty...
