I liked Robert Foxworth as St. Peter with Anthony Hopkins as St. Paul in Peter and Paul.

I got ticked of because of the “brothers of Jesus” thing/🤷

But to its credit, at least it showed that they were there. Many Jesus films seem to just drop them altogether, so it’s just Jesus and Mary (and occasionally Joseph).

Peter and Paul as well as Anno Domini showed James the Just, and they didn’t say that Jesus and him were halfbrothers.🤷
 
Honestly, I don’t care what colour Peter is. I saw a Lebanese movie with an actual Middle Eastern person playing Jesus. He had green eyes and brown hair. (Lebanese people don’t quite “look” the same as other Arabs). As for the best performance of Peter…hmmm, tough one.

Jesus appears in the first minutes of Anno Domini.

To give credit to the movie Passover Plot, James was never explicitly called Jesus’ half-brother and the movie seems to hint that James was older than Jesus. Notice the gray on Dan Hedaya’s beard.

My point is: it’s pretty uncommon for the ‘brothers’ of Jesus to appear in a film about the life of Jesus and to be identified as such.
 
James Farentino’s rendition of Peter tops them all (Jesus of Nazareth, 1977)

Yep. 👍

One of my least favorite portrayals of Peter was in the movie Peter and Paul. Apparently, they thought Peter’s ministry was basically to argue with James.🤷
 
Well it’s better than having him argue with Paul. Peter supported Paul against James (or his followers) in the gentile controversy.

But it is possible to include James and the other brethren while still being fully orthodox. It’s intriguing to imagine life in Nazareth with all those relatives.

Yeah.

“Jesus, now is Your time to act! Everyone will be on Your side!”

“No. I will not yet go to the festival Simon.”
