The storyline of Jesus of Nazareth is a kind of cinematic Diatessaron, or “Gospel harmony”, blending the narratives of all four New Testament accounts. It takes a fairly naturalistic approach, de-emphasizing special effects when miracles are depicted and presenting Jesus as more or less evenly divine and human. The familiar Christian episodes are presented chronologically: the betrothal, and later marriage, of Mary and Joseph; the Annunciation; the Visitation; the circumcision of John the Baptist; the Nativity of Jesus; the visit of the Magi; the circumcision of Jesus; the Census of Quirinius; the flight into Egypt and Slaughter of the Innocents; the Finding in the Temple; the Baptism of Jesus; the woman caught in adultery; Jesus helping Peter catch the fish; the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 11-32); a dialogue between Jesus and Barabbas (non-biblical); Matthew's dinner party; the Sermon on the Mount; debating with Joseph of Arimathea; the curing of the blind man at the pool; the Raising of Lazarus (John 11:43); the Feeding of the Five Thousand; the Entry into Jerusalem; Jesus and the money changers; the Last Supper; the

Maria est une jeune étudiante d'un couvent qui attend de devenir religieuse. En été, elle est renvoyée à la maison par sa famille parce qu'une épidémie de choléra a éclaté. Au cours de cette période, elle rencontre un jeune étudiant nommé Nino qui vit dans la même région et dont elle tombe amoureuse dès le premier regard. Le jeune homme semble également s'intéresser à elle: il l'invite à danser lors d'une fête et la courtise à d'autres occasions. Maria est indécise : elle aimerait être avec Nino, mais en même temps elle pense que son destin est de devenir religieuse. Un jour, Nino lui déclare son amour et lui demande de quitter le couvent : cela accentue le tourment de Marie, partagé entre le sentiment de l'amour et son devoir envers Dieu. Après avoir refusé Nino, elle retourne au couvent. Ici, contrairement à ses attentes, son tourment ne se calme pas et, au contraire, lui fait comprendre qu'elle aime Nino et qu'elle n'a pas pris la bonne décision. Marie pense aux moments passés avec Nino et se confesse à Soeur Agatha, une religieuse prétendument folle qui en fait elle aussi tourmentée par un sentiment d'amour pour un homme connu plusieurs années auparavant. Elle est devenue une religieuse par erreur. Au cours d'une confession à l'église, Maria voit une cérémonie de mariage et voit que le marié est Nino tandis que la mariée est la sœur de Maria, Giuditta. Maria tombe dans la dépression. Un soir, elle quitte le couvent et décide de courir vers Nino après avoir appris de son père qu'ils sont allés vivre dans la ville et que la maison est face à l'église. Maria est accueillie à la maison par Nino et Judith, mais elle comprend que maintenant il n'y a plus rien à faire et espère revenir Nino est parti parce que Judith attend un enfant. Désespérée, Maria révèle au garçon qu'elle a toujours été amoureuse de lui. Nino explique à Maria qu'elle a eu l'occasion et surtout le moment d'être avec lui, mais refuse; Nino a donc beaucoup souffert et a dû essayer d'oublier Maria. A la fin, les deux jeunes hommes s'embrassent et Maria retourne au couvent, résignée à ce qui s'est passé et devient religieuse, servant Dieu et l'Église pour toujours.
