Greatest Story - Lazarus, Come Forth!
In this scene from The Greatest Story Ever Told, we see a pivotal part of the story when Jesus commands Lazarus (who died some days before) to leave his tomb.
Reaction to what happens next is mixed. Some people believe that Jesus is the Messiah, while others think he is a blasphemer who should be put to death.
Positions - for or against Jesus - harden, considerably, after this event.
In this film version of the story, Max Von Sydow plays the role of Jesus.
