Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Employed as a spy and given the task of investigating the threat posed by John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene is overwhelmed by John's powerful message of the coming of the Messiah. Gazing into John's eyes before he dies, Mary is left with the certainty that her place is at the side of this great man, Jesus Christ.

Close to Jesus Collection

Close To Jesus is a series of four films depicting the lives of several peripheral persons from the Gospels of the life and times of Jesus Christ, including Mary Magdalene, the spy hired to investigate John the Baptist but turns into a follower; Joseph Of Nazareth, the refugee of a murdered family who becomes the earthly father of Jesus; Judas, the traitorous trusted chosen few; and Thomas, distraught over the burial of Christ, has his faith restored when he witnesses the prophesy come true with his own eyes.
