12. Crucifixion & Resurrection

Mar 25, 1951 · 28 min

Jesus pulls His cross to Calvary, where He is crucified. Judas rejects Caiaphas' silver coins, and hangs himself with his sash. Jesus' tomb is sealed, then uncovered empty. Christ reappears to His disciples in the upper room, and doubting Thomas brings Jesus' words 'Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believe,' to one and all.
