As Jesus' popularity rages, multitudes follow Him. After a night in prayer, He chooses twelve from a group of disciples whom He names Apostles. Jesus gives the Sermon on the Mount, instructs on prayer and offers the Lord's Prayer before healing a leper.

Jesus withdraws with the twelve to lands beyond 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 the transfiguration. Jesus heals the epileptic boy, blesses little children, and raises Lazarus from the dead. Jesus' triumphal entry to Jerusalem is halted at Temple gates when He spots money changers in the courtyard.

Jesus pulls His cross to Calvary, where He is crucified. Judas rejects Caiaphas' silver coins, and hangs himself with his sash. Jesus' tomb is sealed, then uncovered empty. Christ reappears to His disciples in the upper room, and doubting Thomas brings Jesus' words 'Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believe,' to one and all.
