In the Roman province of Judea, a mysterious carpenter named Jesus of Nazareth begins to announce the coming of the “kingdom of God” and is surrounded by a group of humble fishermen, the Apostles.

Jesus’ teachings attract a large following who recognize him as the Messiah. Worried about the situation, the Sanhedrin arrest Jesus with the help of Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve Apostles.
