The Witnesses

By Josh Hornbeck

Who was Jesus? It’s a question that has haunted mankind for two thousand years. Was he a teacher, a prophet, or the Son of God?

In The Witnesses, we hear the stories of six people who encountered Jesus during his last week – a woman visiting Jerusalem, a temple priest, a serving girl, Mary the sister of Martha, Peter the disciple, and a soldier at the crucifixion. All of these witnesses must ask the same questions – Who is Jesus?

The Witnesses is a moving portrait of the last days of Christ, from the joy of Palm Sunday to the sorrows of Good Friday.
