King of Kings (1961) - Jail Scene ((Lucius, Jesus, & John))

[@gloriapurdie1199]

U got that right nobody can't play that role of jesus christ but Jeremy HUNTER. ❤❤❤❤

One of the Greatest Jesus portrayals on Film. Jeffrey Hunter may God Bless you!

[@mariawhite973]

this jail scene was filmed very well. John in all his hopelessness and despair shows he trust Jesus. my favorite part due to its emotion.

[@cgarb]

@Lydia Roselli I disagree. Just because it wasn't written in the Bible doesn't mean this didn't happen or couldn't have happened. No one knows 100% what Jesus' every action was. Movies are interpretation sure...but whats important in this scene is the meaning- how he speaks, the language involved and his fondness and respect for John. This is how I feel anyway. God bless.

[@camoanddonuts7894]

This is a brillantly written and acted scene. John is all of us, broken and defeated, and Jesus cuts through all the evil done unto John by saying, "blessed is he who keeps his faith" and puts the sin of mankind in its place, to be judged by Our Redeemer

[@blessOTMA]

I have read comments where it is pointed out that this event is not found in the Bible. True. But I believe the creators of this flim were aiming at portraying a wonderful truth; that regardless of circumstances, Christ can visit and free each of us in whatever prison we may find ourselves. Be it the prison of sin ,of drugs, of despair.

This scene is very powerful. There are indeed many people on earth who are free to go anywhere they desire. But yet their souls are in a prison cell. They are a prisoner of their deeds. They are prisoners of the Devil's deception. John may be confined to a prison cell. But he was a free man. His soul was free.

This is my favorite scene in the movie. I like to think that we are John, deep in the dark pit with the chains of sin around us. And when we see Jesus simply say our name, we scramble up not to ask to be freed, but simply to ask for His blessing to continue.

Judy Kowalski you’re welcome. I watch the King of Kings every year during Lent season ever since I was 12. I may show this to my children.

[@ianbrewster8934]

I know I'm late to the party on this but Lucius although they don't mention it by name according to the filmmakers is supposed to be a very young Lucius of Cyrene founder of the Christian church in Antioch. It's hinted over the course of the movie of his slow conversion. It's completely made up obviously and it's more for artistic reasons and not historically or biblically accurate but it's a nice little nod of how sometimes we may be connected to people and we don't even know it.

[@goldmindz4266]

Epic scene. Still over many peoples heads (not just the words, but also the positioning, props, and timing)

[@305Lfx]

Not at all... the position of the christ figure on a high level represents the heavenly metaphor.. h John climbs up from a dark place (like we all so at times) to grasp the Holy hand of christ... the look of compassion and love in jesus is palpable... remarkable... John is utterly shocked at the visit of jesus to his cell... but is desperate in his eyes and vocal tones. He takes the hand of jesus and falls again (like we tend to do) but christ still stands there watching us xxx happy easter weekend

I admire that Ron Randell's Lucius portrays the worst and best in Man. Ron's portrayal has been indelible since the early '60s when first my Dad took me to see King of Kings. In this Easter season and during Holy Week itself seeing this film again (for better or worse) recalls those principles instilled within me by my loving parents, the good sisters of my school and all under the auspices of our Savior, Jesus Christ and Almighty God, the Father. If it takes a (well done) movie to jog or prod my faith, then so be it; I too have failings. During the last months of my Dad's life we watched King of Kings in the comfort of his living room and both of us were crying as Jesus recited, representing the first time it had ever been uttered, The Lord's Prayer. That I have this treasured memory is considered by me a gift from God Himself.

[@windstorm1000]

Randell fine actor. The Lord works through mysterious ways. A movie can be effective as a sermon. Ben Hue gets me every time.

Heartbreaking performance by Robert Ryan here

[@jcarreon1983jc]

This is my opinion, but I believe Robert Ryan's portrayal of John the Baptist is the best out of all the portrayals of John the Baptist in cinema. This character was out of the realm of Ryan's characters from the past as Ryan portrayed mostly villains. In this movie, Robert Ryan created this sympathetic, wise man. Witnessing Ryan play John the Baptist, I still see the grit and toughness in other film characters that Ryan acted, for instance The Naked Spur, The Wild Bunch, etc. Robert Ryan, incredible actor. Truly one of the best in cinema history.

[@dansby37]

I like how in this scene one of the guards said he don't know how to send this one away, not a typical Roman soldier reply or response at all!!, if its one thing Roman soldiers knew how to do, is apply force to anyone to send them away, especially a Jew in Judiah (sp?) at that time, they had no qualms enforcing their might on someone physically. I have a feeling that until the time had come for Him to meet His destiny on why He first came to Earth, no one could harm Him, physically or mentally. I'm thinking in general of His time on Earth in His first coming, as I don't think this scene was in the Bible, but I like it just the same, I always when watching this film had this thought in my head when watching this scene.

[@bradjames891]

this is not Biblical, but Christ's love is shown. Thus, it is of value even if the doctrine of this scene cannot be authenticated.

Pilot said to Jesus. " And just how do you propose to break him free from his cell ? Jesus replied. " I come to free him within his cell. " The HOLLY SPIRIT ! John wasn't afraid to die. Because when Jesus held his hand he felt the power of Jesus blessing. John knew that soon he will be in Heaven sitting on the right hand side of GOD !

[@DonnaBrooks]

That's Lucius, a character that does not appear in the Bible, not Pilate. It's spelled Pilate, not Pilot. Great movie, though. Also, there were Roman soldiers who came to faith in Christ. One was the Centurion that came and asked Christ to heal his servant. The other is the soldier at the crucifixion who said, "Truly this man was the Son of God." There's also a Roman family that was baptized in Acts.

Jeffrey Hunter and Jim Cavaziel are the two best actors who EVER played the part of The Lord Jesus Christ on film. I especially liked the way that Jeffrey Hunter portrayed Jesus. His beautiful blue eyes just penetrate your soul, and make you want to cry. Maybe that’s not exactly what Jesus looked like, but I’m sure he was very handsome. Based on the Biblical account of Jesus, and based on his ethnic background, I believe that Jesus probably had a dark complexion and beautiful brown eyes and skin. ❤❤😊😊

[@kirkfeather1]

I am of the opinion that it isn't totally Christianity or belief in Christ that makes this scene so powerful, though it does resonate with the essential spirit of the religion. It's as though an ancient instinct (older than Roman times or ancient Chinese civilization) tells us that with something within us to hold on to, to believe in and to celebrate inside our souls we can endure incarceration, abuse, contempt from those in power who, in essence, are their own jailers. They lock themselves into their own cells by ridiculing the immense power of compassion and the "life of the interior," separate from the vicissitudes of mortal, fallible life.

The Jeffrey Hunter movie of King of Kings is a nice touch for the Bible story. But as for me, the 1979 Brian Deacon movie of Jesus was the Jesus movie I grew up watching and admired to this day. The Passion of the Christ was awesome with all its makeup and special effects but it was too brutal for my liking. The 1977 Robert Powell movie of Jesus of Nazareth had a powerful message.
