Description: This film is part of "The Living Bible" series from the early 1950's produced by Family Films. The episode begins with Jesus and his disciples travelling through the hills to Caesaria. Flashbacks tells how each of the disciples were found and recruited by Jesus. We follow Jesus through his preaching's as he teaches the crowd how to pray to the Father. He miraculously raises a widow's son from the dead. Jesus tests the faith of his disciples by asking them, "Who do people say that I am and who do you say that I am." He then reveals his prophesy of his own death and resurrection. While on the mountain the disciples see the Transfiguration of Jesus as he glows bright white while standing next to Moses and Elijah. They hear the voice of God in a misty cloud. Jesus tells the disciples to tell no one of what they saw until after his death and resurrection. As they continue on, Jesus heals an epileptic boy who was possessed by unclean spirits. The disciples had tried to heal him but failed because of their weak faith. Jesus tells them that all things are possible with faith.
