First Time Watching *THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST* | Movie Reaction

What Jim Caviezel went through making this movie is insanity! He was struck by lightning multiple times, accidentally took 1 of those whip lashes giving him a 14-inch gash (it's in the movie) , the cross fell on him & his head giving him a grade-3 concussion and biting through his tounge (it's in the movie), he dislocated his shoulder multiple times carrying the cross, caught pneumonia and a really bad lung infection that almost killed him. He was in the hospital for a month. The devil really didn't want Jim Caviezel playing this role

I remember seeing "The Passion" in the theater in 2004. There was weeping throughout the movie esp. when Jesus was getting unmercifully whipped. When the movie ended, no one left while the credits were rolling. The lights finally turned on, and we all got up and left in silence. I drove in silence all the way home just trying to take in what I just witnessed. I have never experienced anything like this before or since. Wonderful reaction btw. You two were heartfelt throughout the viewing. May God continue to reveal himself to the both of you, in Jesus Name.

I appreciate you love Jesus brother but you don't love Him perfectly do you? And the people,the neighbours,do you love them as yourself perfectly? No you don't, nobody can and that's why we're supposed to trust in Jesus alone. Paul said in Romans in KJV,to him that worketh not but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly,his faith is counted as righteousness. Salvation is a gift of God and because it is a gift,it is no longer of works because then it is no longer a gift. Read through Paul's epistles and that carefully as well as the gospels and see for yourself,we aren't saved by our works but trusting in Jesus and His finished work and believing He is risen the third day and now we do good works because Holy Spirit leads us to and because we love God and people and don't expect anything in return by doing good but those who aren't born again thus unbelievers and unsaved,they do "good" works for selfish gain,if the work is for God then they expect a blessing back or storing up the works to earn salvation but that's not God's intention. There's a lot to say and study but long story short,only Jesus is able to save you and will if you put your trust in Him alone,not in your water baptism,going to thr church,giving tithes, praying and reading the Bible and the others stuff,we can't bribe God with our filthy rags to let us in Heaven. Trust Jesus only,God bless.

Whats the significance of the temple veil being torn? Above all, the tearing of the veil at the moment of Jesus’ death dramatically symbolized that His sacrifice, the shedding of His own blood, was a sufficient atonement for sins. It signified that now the way into the Holy of Holies was open for all people, for all time, both Jew and Gentile. In a sense, the veil was symbolic of Christ Himself as the only way to the Father (John 14:6). This is indicated by the fact that the high priest had to enter the Holy of Holies through the veil. Now Christ is our superior High Priest, and as believers in His finished work, we partake of His better priesthood. We can now enter the Holy of Holies through Him.

Hello! I am a theology student at university, and study the bible in depth. There's a few things I would like to add for better understanding: 5:41 In the Middle East it was quite common to do a simple kiss to greet someone, here its used to identify Jesus. Where I live in the middle east its still common to do a "nose kiss" to greet someone. 11:00 Here Jesus says "I am" (a divine title, God told Moses "tell the Israelites that I AM has sent you", Jesus is claiming to be the "I AM", then He quotes from scripture, the book of Daniel: "And there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven." (Daniel 7:13) 15:45 Herod was the current King of Judea, although they were under occupation of Rome 18:45 Barabbas wanted to overthrow Rome, its interesting to note here that Bar-Abba in hebrew/aramaic meant "son of the father", the crowd was given 2 choices, the rebellious son of the father, or the true Son of God the Father, they chose the former 31:46 My favourite scene ever, this verse actually comes from Revelation: 21, where Jesus describes how He will create a new Heaven and Earth. 33:15 This is Simon of Cyrene. I've taken this verse/scene to show that in life we all must carry our cross, but it doesnt mean we can't have a Simon of Cyrene to help us carry it 37:00 One criminal asks to be saved physically, the other just merely asks to be remembered. "Everyone who suffers is on a cross, we can either be like the one on the left and asked to be taken down, or like the one on the right and ask to be taken up" 40:00 The temple veil separating the most holy part was torn, this represents that God and Man are no longer separated, but that Jesus finally bridged the gap! I hope this helps! God bless you! Always remember that God had one son on Earth without sin, but never one without suffering.. "You cannot love without suffering, nor suffer without love"

The meaning of the flashback scene when Christ as a carpenter was constructing the "high table" was in reality it was an altar of wood for offering Himself to the Father, both on the wood of the Cross and one day on the altar itself offering Christ to the Father in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. That is why He lifted Himself up to sit on the altar to show that He willingly sacrificed Himself to the Father, and until the end of the world that same Sacrifice commemorated and offered again in an unbloody manner, but the same Sacricevof Himself pleasing to the Father.

Without the voluntary act of the Lord Jesus laying down his life we have no hope of the salvation of our soul. He was paying the price we owed. Also, Barabbas represents us. Jesus took the punishment we deserve.

[@ferdinandpangan1902]

It actually occurred to me that Barabbas may have not been his real name -- but if it did, as written in the Scripture, then this is something even more than coincidence. If you will analyze ( do correct me if I'm wrong) the name, "Barabbas" is a name which is a compound word in Hebrew that means, "son of the father" ("Bar" meaning "Son", and "Abba" meaning "Father"). Thus "Bar-abbas" or "Barabbas" is a son of the "father" -- which in this case, the "father" of all humanity, which is Adam, the first man, who sadly sinned and fell off from grace, and with him, all of humanity falls into the same tendency of sin. Our Lord Jesus Christ+ through His+ Passion, redeems us. In this particular scenario where Pilate allows Barabbas to be set free, Christ+ is sentenced to death. Given his criminal record as recorded in Scripture and in the Roman records then, it was Barabbas who richly deserves crucifixion, not Christ, whom Pilate himself proclaimed that he finds no guilt in, yet in this twist of events which is meant and prophesied, Christ is sentenced to death, not Barabbas who is the guilty one . Our Lord Jesus Christ+ takes on Himself+ the punishment that all the sons of Adam (all the "Bar-Abbas") richly deserve due to our multitudinous sins. Thus in this event, we see Christ+ taking the sentence of death as punishment of sin, which all humanity richly deserved. We now understand more fully now the prophecy of St John the Baptist when he proclaimed to the crowd about Christ+ --- "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" and furthermore, the prophecy of ISaiah -- Isaiah 53.

[@Lapreghiera]

There were many "Barabbas" in that time, it was like a title given attributed to anyone who fought against Roman rule through violence and uprising because of how mainstream judaism interpreted and taught what the messiah would do for Israel. And that's how the sadduccee/pharisees manipulated the Romans into the mix. The jews were convicted by his teaching of righteousness of their sins and hypocrisy to desire his death. But they tell the Romans "he says he's a king, he has a kingdom that is greater than Rome and will take over...." So they try to paint him as another "Barabbas" with no evidence, when he truly is the son of God.

You couldn't witness a crucifixion like this and not be scarred for life, PTSD. Looking him in the eyes as he's being tortured to death. Let alone someone you knew. Let alone someone you gave up your life to follow. Let alone the Son of God. How these people survived HIS crucifixion without going insane is a miracle in and of itself.

[@FanOfDaUnderAppreciated]

Actually, quite the reverse. Crucifixions are normally PTSD inducing, yes, but THIS was no normal crucifixion (remember that there were many other people who were crucified by the Romans), and this was no normal man. The irony is that an event that should've been cause for PTSD, is actually turned into something that gives life and healing for all who truly comprehend what took place on the Cross of Christ. PTSD is reversed, and taken away, in the event of the crucifixion and resurrection as Christ takes into HIMSELF the sin, brokenness, even the PTSD of the world. This is artistically and symbolically portrayed in this film by the reactions of various people around the cross as they slowly start to realize what's actually happening (in particular the Roman solider who gets splattered with the water and blood from Christ's wound), that there is quite literally, power, forgiveness, healing, and life flowing out as a result of this seemingly catastrophic event. In other words, it was a literal miracle that took place at the crucifixion and resurrection, which is why his followers not only survived this event 'without going insane', but became powerful, bold witnesses to what took place, and eventually turned the course of history. It's the great irony and reversal of God, the reason why the day Christ is crucified is called GOOD Friday. This is not mere wordplay, not something someone came up with trying to be poetic or clever with words. It's actual reality with meaning and substantive power. Many hear the words and even see the images but fail to grasp the significance. Do NOT settle for just those things, or a sentimental shallow understanding of what Christ accomplished; the Cross is NOT a sob story or tragedy! Do NOT miss out on actually experiencing the reality and power of what he did, and continues to do.

[@lawrenceallen8096]

@@FanOfDaUnderAppreciated All of that is true, I am a believer, but there is no way a person can see a crucifixion and not have nightmares about it.

[@FanOfDaUnderAppreciated]

[@lawrenceallen8096]

@@FanOfDaUnderAppreciated The ones who witnessed those things, for sure. Or watching people laugh and cheer as Christians were ripped apart and eaten by wild animals in an arena. Or smelling Christians who've been used as human Roman Candles. All of it: few modern people have see things like that.

[@FanOfDaUnderAppreciated]

​@@lawrenceallen8096 Something worth considering: if you read the scriptures, the people of God went through things that would be considered trauma inducing or at least potentially trauma inducing, over and over again. Think of Joseph being sold by his own brothers to slavery to a foreign land. Or David being hunted down by his murderous father in law. Or the Israelites going into exile as an entire nation, wholesale. And of course, the persecution that the early Church endured. Literal beatings, stoning, whippings, being mauled by lions. And yet, one does not get the sense at all, by reading the scriptures (especially the NT) or church history, or even history compiled by those who were not believers but observed early Christians, that they identified as a traumatized people. Rather, one gets the sense that they were people who often went through trauma or trauma inducing events, yet came out on the other side more whole, more integrated, healthier, than the pagans or Romans around them. A traumatized people did not bring the Roman Empire to it's knees - it was a people who encountered and were transformed by the risen Christ - who took on trauma in his own body and conquered it - and is thus able to offer healing and freedom from trauma of all sorts, even the deepest, most life crushing trauma. The Church used to be known for testimony after testimony of individuals who could attest to this personally. And this still holds true, even here in the West where the power of the Gospel and the reality of what Christ did for us has often been watered down to primarily an afterlife fire insurance with side benefits. The good news, the gospel, is that Christ lived, died, and rose again not just to give us a ticket to the afterlife, but to bring wholeness, freedom, and restoration.

This movie never fails to make me cry. And I’ve seen this movie dozens of times

[@marcishh]

This video was such an amazing and emotional journey to watch, especially since I rarely see any reactions to this movie in particular. I'm a Roman Catholic and I loved your commentary during the film (I only wish your reaction to the Resurrection scene was shown more, I was looking forward to that part, it's such an important and beautiful scene too). It’s also very inspiring to see the eagerness in someone in getting to know more about the life of Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, His death and Resurrection through this movie and The Bible (so huge, huge respect). I noticed there were a few questions raised by you during the film, so maybe I can explain further what I know (sorry for the long comment, read only if interested): 1) The main reason for only Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin language to be used in this film is for the more authentic feeling of this particular historical background, since these were the main languages spoken in that area. It's good we have subtitles though! 2) The single Apostle that’s accompanying Mary until the very end is indeed, Saint John. 3) The primary source material for this movie is obviously the New Testament, but Mel Gibson was also inspired by the Catholic visionaries such as Mary of Jesus of Ágreda and Anne Catherine Emmerich, because their visions provided vivid descriptions of the crucifixion, as well as additional roles played by Mary, Jesus' mother (like the scene during the flagellation, when Mary receives the cloth from the Pontius Pilate's wife). And in terms of Jesus’ wounds he was probably inspired by the Shroud of Turin (which is the actual burial shroud used to wrap the body of Jesus after His crucifixion and serves as a visual memorial of His suffering and is, in fact a holy relic). 4) The woman shown during the flashback who is saved by Jesus from the stoning is actually Mary Magdalene, who is accompanying Mother Mary and Saint John throughout the film. We don’t know for sure if the woman caught in adultery was actually Mary Magdalene, but I think here she’s meant to represent every repenting sinner that’s been given a chance for a new life thanks to Jesus’ forgiveness. It’s also a beautiful scene, visually- and poetic-wise, and I think Mel Gibson directed it to perfection. 5) It is also clear that Gibson implemented most of the 14 Stations of the Cross into the movie (12, to be precise). For example, the man forced to help Jesus carrying the cross is Saint Simon of Cyrene (5th station). The 4th station “Jesus meets his Mother” was also present, right after the 3rd “Jesus falls for the first time”, as it is exactly shown in the movie. The 6th station was with Saint Veronica wiping the face of Jesus - btw that’s how the Veil of Veronica came into being, one of the holy relics of the Church. 6) “I make all things new”, like Jesus said so Himself in the movie during His encounter with His Mother, Mary - that’s actually Revelation 21:5 and it’s a reference to how Jesus came into this world to offer us a chance of salvation and eternal life (instead of sin and death), all because of His sacrifice on the cross. 7) Jesus, by telling His Mother: “Woman, behold your son!” and to Saint John, his beloved apostle: “Behold your mother!” was not only because of Jesus’s concern for His Mother, but in every sense of the word, He entrusts her with us, as our own Heavenly Mother. There are so many hidden meanings and references in this movie, the list would be even longer... no wonder it's such a masterpiece and is still moving the hearts of so many people after all these years! Enough said, God bless you all! ❤

Jesus accepted the offer, and when he returned the veil the image of his face was miraculously captured on it. The resulting relic became known as the Veil of Veronica, they have the vail she used in the Vatican, together with the crown of thorns in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, both relics wield great power which have resulted in so many miracles of healing

[@JerodM]

Those relics being worshiped or revered are nothing more than pagan worship. Jesus didn’t come so we could collect his earthly belongings to enshrine them. Those things will all pass away and tarnish. It’s His words we need. Those will never pass away.

[@mattkylie6723]

@@JerodM A pagan misconception!!! In the fourth century the great biblical scholar, Jerome, declared, “We do not worship, we do not adore, for fear that we should bow down to the creature rather than to the creator, but we venerate the relics of the martyrs in order the better to adore him whose martyrs they are” (Ad Riparium, i, P.L., XXII, 907). ` The Bible tells us that “as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet” (2 Kings 13:21). Here, God worked a miracle through contact with Elisha's earthly remains, his relics. Of course, God could have done this without the relic. Ok so a relic is an object, such as a piece of clothing or, more commonly, a piece of bone from a saint’s body, which has spiritual value because it belonged to one of God’s saints. The Bible records many accounts of the value of relics and even episodes of miraculous events connected with them. “People brought to [Jesus] all who were sick and begged him that they might only touch the tassel on his cloak, and as many as touched it were healed” (Mt 14:35-36; cf. Mk 6:56; Lk 8:43-44). It was not uncommon for ordinary objects, like the tassel on the Lord’s cloak, to have miraculous characteristics. Look also at Acts 5:15, where even Peter’s shadow could cause miraculous healings. Regarding the relics of saints, especially martyrs (about whom the Bible says, “Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his holy ones” [Ps 116:15]), look at 2 Kings 13:21: Elisha died and was buried. At the time, bands of Moabites used to raid the land each year. Once some people were burying a man, when suddenly they spied such a raiding band. So they cast the dead man into the grave of Elisha and everyone went off. But when the man came in contact with the bones of Elisha, he came back to life and rose to his feet. 1. The Cloak of Christ (Mark 5:25-34; Luke 8:43:48; Matthew 9:20-22) The first example of physical relics possessing supernatural powers comes from the Gospels. Recorded in Matthew, Mark, and Luke the account of a woman touching the hem of Jesus’ cloak in order to be healed presents an exceptionally compelling case for the power of physical things. This woman, the Gospels tell us, knew that if she could only touch the hem of Jesus’ cloak she would be healed. We know from examples in the Old Testament that Jewish believers in Jesus’ time understood the power of God at work through physical relics. The story of Elisha’s bones bringing to life a dead man (2 Kings 13:20-22) would’ve been a well-known text for God-fearing Jews, and this is just a singular example.

I hadn't been a practicing Catholic for a very long time but The Chosen brought me back to my faith. It's told from the perspective of the Apostles, and while it takes some liberties from the Bible, it doesn't steer too far from it. What Jim Caviezel went through while making this film was amazing. He definitely suffered himself just to portray Jesus. Good luck in your journey and I hope that you find faith as well. Our existence has little meaning without that belief system.
