A Child Called Jesus

SYNOPSIS

The film attempts to fill in the "missing years" of Jesus, from ages 3 through 12. When King Herod orders that all Hebrew male children under the age of three be slain, Joseph moves his family near Egypt. Here, Jesus, sensing his divinity, expresses a desire to return to Nazareth. Travelling homeward with his mother Mary, Jesus flashes forward to events that will unfold in his adult life.
