This video clip illustrates in depth the opinions flowing through The Sanhedrin debate leading to the appearance of Jesus before The Sanhedrin to explain His beliefs.
Franco Zeffirelli was regarded as a traditional Catholic, raised in Florence learning the English language from members of the Florence based, British community with whom he shared a great respect for the arts. Zeffirelli worked with anti-Fascist partisans during WW11, then to act as an interpreter for The Scots Guards when campaigning against enemy forces on their push north.
Zeffirelli's orthodox interpretation of The Gospels remains untouched by what may be termed modern exegesis.
I salute the script writers, director, and television series producers for their mature, and sensitive approach to what could have been turned into an exercise in anti Jewish sentiment.
This video clip strives to explain how the Jewish elite of the first century understood the liberator we call Jesus of Nazareth.
