Steven Spielberg's Son Of God

858 Words4 Pages

The producers of Son of God did a pretty good job at keeping faithful to the actual story. They begin the story with a short introduction into his birth. Not a lot is said since it is only about a three minute segment, however there was more than three sheapards that bowed down to the baby Jesus in the movie. There seemed to be about thirty people there while other accounts say there was only three. Regardless, they all followed a star to find the new born King. Then the movie cuts in the scene were Jesus going to Peter and him becoming the first apostle. Jesus asked Peter to allow him on the boat, but Peter refused. Then Jesus just climbs into the boat anyway. He tells Peter, "Give me one hour and I will give you a new life." This is also …show more content…

They went to where the towns people were paying their taxes and Jesus tells the story about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector prayer. In the Bible, this is where Jesus brings Matthew up as an Apostle, however in the movie, Matthew is almost conveyed as a tax collector. While some believe that Matthew was a tax collector, the Bible does not explicitly say that he was one. Shortly after this, the movie does a great representation of the feeding of a thousand people. In the movie, just as in the Bible, they only had two fish and three pieces of bread. They prayed of the food and they were blessed and able to feed all the people. Another essentially scene that the movie got spot on was the confession of Peter. Jesus asked, "Who do you think I am," and Peter answered, "You are the Son of God." This is a scene that was very essential and the movie represents it …show more content…

However, in the Bible many scholars say that Jesus knew that John the Baptist had died prior. Shortly after some morning, Jesus started his trip to Jerusalem. In both the movie and the Bible, Jesus rode into town on a donkey, and the towns' people laid palm leaves on the pathway for Jesus. In both, Jesus does flip over the tables as the temple and tell the people that they made it into, "a den of thieves." In the movie, this is when the priest start to get really worried and start coming up with a plan to keep Jesus silent. In the movie, Judas was brought to the high priest and given money if he turned Jesus in. In the Bible, I don't recall there ever being a money exchange. At dinner that night, in both, Jesus predicts that Judas will betray him. As well as, this was the time that got broke the bread to represent his body and the wine as his blood. Regardless, in both, Judas does eventually hang himself. During the town's judgment on what to do with Jesus. Pilot never says, "This man's blood is on your hands." In the movie, it seems that Pilot believes he is innocent, but just wants to please the people. After his sentence, Peter did deny Jesus three times, just as predicted, in both the movie and the

They referred to one as the priest and one as the king. The Gospel of Mathew wanted to state that the Jewish was the “Messiah” the Jews were waiting for (Strauss, 2017). Matthew mentioned many citations about the fulfilment of the many prophecies about the Messiah. He states at the start of his Gospel that “This is the Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham,”(NRSVCE 1989 Matthew 1:1). In the start of his Gospel Matthew tries to make an impact on his Jewish audience that his gospel is not only about Jesus’s life, but instead to make the Jewish audience believe that Jesus is the

Relating the story scripture to the Old Testament however reminds me Exodus how there was lots of corruption from God’s people and stirred them in the right direction giving the the Ten Commandments to abide by. Relating it to the New Testament when the mestizo followed the priest only to betray him reminds me of Judas betraying Jesus. Another scripture passage that relates to this is the parable of the lost son. No matter how much the son disobeyed his father and spent the money he gave, or drank, or fooled around his father forgave him and prepared a feast for the return of his son. The same hold true for the priest and God the Father.

The party in the ward before McMurphy’s lobotomy is parallel to Christ’s last supper before he was crucified. The narcotic cough syrup mixed with vodka resembles the wine and the two prostitutes, Candy and Sandy, are analogous to Mary Magdalene. Judas’s betrayal of Jesus is referenced with Billy Bibbit’s “betrayal” of McMurphy. Bibbit's betrayal is not in his attempts to push the blame of his time with Candy on McMurphy; it is with his suicide that follows.

In What Ways Does Jesus Fulfill The Symbolism Underlying The Feast Of Tabernacles? According to the Gospel of John, Jesus was well aware of Jewish traditions and used at least two analogies that underlie the symbolism of the Feast of Tabernacles. Now, according to Towns (2002), the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths, was a harvest festival, celebrated annually in early October. Moreover, although this festival lasted for seven days and an eighth day of rest, it was customary for people to dwell outside of Jerusalem in fragile huts or shacks for the extent of the celebration.

John’s gospel was able to bring out the incredible detail in verse 6-7 because he knows the secret to encoding the message which Jesus is trying to pass along to us. In Jewish culture weddings like these lasted one to two weeks. Some scholars argue that the wedding probably must have gone on for some time, long enough to run out of wine. There must have been plenty of empty wine pots and jugs available. But Jesus didn't ask the servants to fill the smaller empty vessels, instead, he told them to use the water pots which are specifically made for purification.
