You've been warned.

[vladimir998]

It’s a well-known fact. /s

So did Moses, Ramses, Achilles, Agamemnon, Cleopatra, Caesar, Brutus, Seneca, etc.

Jesus was white?

[Conspiracy Guy]

I thought he spoke more like Sean Connery.

[Calvin Locke]

Well, there are those stories about Jesus studying in Britain...and since he is God, the could easily bypass all that pesky language development throughout the centuries...

[SkyDancer]

And Capt. Picquard of Star Trek fame who grew up in France and worked in a vineyard spoke with a British accent as well. Funny how it gets around. Which also brings up the question: People from England came to America but we don’t speak with an English accent but yet those that went to Australia do in a way along with some of their slang and idioms.

[cloudmountain]

Usually, it's "British scientists have discovered...."
It's almost a cliche.

[Gamecock]

Many her on FR will say He spoke English as spoken circa 1611. As a matter of fact they will say everyone in the Bible spoke King James English.

[AndrewB]

It’s real...and it’s spectacular.

I AM SPARTICUS!

bloddy ‘ell!

[untwist]

Good satire, but I must say that this actor, Robert Powell was extraordinary in this most impossible of roles. His eyes alone were very moving. Jesus of Nazareth was a great miniseries.

[Bill W was a conservative]

The British accent was a divine affectation. Vide: http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Was-Episcopalian-You-Can/dp/1595180001/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1384739285&sr=1-1&keywords=jesus+was+an+episcopalian+and+you+can+be+one+too

Years ago in Ireland, there was a priest who was very anti-British. Every Sunday he would blast them from the pulpit. He became so notorious that the Pope himself summoned the priest to Rome for an audience.

"Father," said the Pope, "I want that there should be peace between the British and the Irish. You're not helping matters at all. I want you to kiss my ring and swear by the Blessed Virgin that you'll never so much as mention the British in public again."

"But Your Holiness, I - I - " the priest stammered.

"No buts," said the Pope. "Swear it here and now or there'll be trouble!"

"Aye, Holy Father," sighed the father. "All right. I swear it."

The very next Sunday just happened to be Easter, and the priest was back at his pulpit in Ireland, giving his annual Easter sermon.

He got to the part of the Easter story where Jesus said, "And one of you shall betray Me."

The priest continues: "Saint Andrew jumps up and says, 'Is it I Lord?' and the Lord says, 'Nay, Andy darlin', it's not you. Sit down now and dunna worry. Eat your supper.'

Then Saint John the Divine gets up with tears in his eyes and cries, 'Is it I Lord?' And the Lord says, 'Nay, Johnny me boy, it's not you. Sit down now and dunna fret yourself. Eat your supper.'

"Then that dirty dog Judas Iscariot slowww-ly rises to his feet. And he looks the Lord right in the eye and says, 'Blimey, Mate. Ya think it's me?"



"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Yardstick]

So does he say “I could care less” or “I couldn’t care less”?

Let’s settle this thing once and for all.

[central_va]

If Jesus were to return, what kind of car would he drive?

[Exit148]

I wonder if in any wide screen shot of any out door scene , you could see ancient TV antennae?

[al_c]

Ah, yes ... the blue-eyed, fair-skinned British Jesus.

Good movie though.
