The Synopsis
“The Jesus Trial” is the story of the arrest of Jesus of Nazareth

and his subsequent trial in the Roman Court of Pontius Pilate.

The story imagines how Jesus' destiny may have changed had

he been given the chance to have a modern-day trial.

We follow Joseph of Arimathea a high profile lawyer, who

volunteers to defend Jesus of Nazareth who is charged

with crimes that carry the death sentence. The vigorous

defence of Jesus is waged by Joseph, a non-believer who

becomes the voice for the man known as the Son of God.

Witnesses for the defence speak of the immaculate conception,

miracles, the Magi, raising the dead and Jesus being the

Son of God. What will the jury think of all this crazy talk?!

Joseph struggles with how he will be able to provide the best

defence for his client when he finds these stories impossible

to believe himself. But as Joseph spends more time with Jesus,

something begins to change within him. In the end Joseph

understands what the Truth is and that the Truth is the only

defence he can present.
