Original subtitles

in Palestine 2000 years ago a body was

wrapped in a linen shroud concealing a

face as far as anyone knew the face of

Jesus an executed itinerant teacher and

wonder worker would never be seen again

the body was placed in a tomb then the

impossible happened within days Jesus's

followers were reporting that they had

seen Jesus alive again

2,000 years later a face has emerged

from an ancient linen cloth known as the

Shroud of Turin this linen cloth is

believed by some to be the very burial

shroud of Jesus and the face which 3d

computer technology has torn from it is

perhaps the most accurate likeness of

Jesus ever created

now the four Gospels and 3d computer

graphics take us back in time to witness

what the Apostles saw and heard which

caused them to believe against all

reason that Jesus was alive again

you

it's

and shrouded in mystery for almost 2,000

years the true face of Christ in all of

human history no other faces as

recognizable as the face of Jesus and

yet no one knows what Jesus actually

look like now for the first time modern

technology science and religion come

together to visualize what may be the

face of Christ in a chapel in Turin

Italy encased in bulletproof glass is

the most studied object in the world the

Shroud of Turin this ancient cloth bears

the image of a tortured and crucified

man some believe this artifact to be the

actual burial shroud of Jesus the face

of the man in the shroud was scarcely

visible until a startling photographic

negative was produced but there is an

additional inexplicable property of this

image which caught the attention of 3d

computer graphics artist ray downing

encoded within the fibers of this cloth

is 3d information which shouldn't be

there

it's as if someone using an unknown

technology hid a blueprint for

constructing a three-dimensional statue

within this two-dimensional image

downing worked for over a year

extracting and refining this encoded

information to create that statue to

reveal for the first time the face of

the man in the shroud

this new portrait of Jesus drew

worldwide attention in the news media

and was the subject of a History Channel

special inspired by quotes from the New

Testament downing has gone on to

illustrate a library of Jesus portraits

based on the Shroud of Turin image a

face both hidden and revealed in time

suffer little children and forbid them

not to come unto me Lazarus come forward

or my father if it be possible let this

cup pass from me if the world hates you

you know that it hated me before it

hated you father into thy hands I

commend my spirit

greater love hath no man than this that

a man lay down his life for his friends

I am the resurrection and the life

My Kingdom is not of this world

you
