Christian Movies on Netflix: The Gospel of Matthew (2014 – Rated TV-14)
In The Gospel of Matthew, this film adaptation brings to life the former tax collector’s Biblical writings about his time spent working alongside Jesus.

You can see Jesus from another disciple’s point of view in The Gospel of Mark. Mark is known for his simple and succinct accounts of Jesus’ life. He tells more about what Jesus did than what he said. How entertaining would be to see this part of the New Testament come to life on your TV screen!
