The story

The voice of God opens the film, declaring his omnipotence: "My name is Known: God and King. I am most in majesty, in whom no beginning may be and no end." In New York City, John the Baptist arrives and calls a youthful cast of disciples to Central Park, beckoning them to "Prepare Ye, The Way of the Lord." He baptizes his congregation in the Bethesda Fountain. Jesus arrives and John baptizes Jesus, and the cast sings "Save The People" with Jesus.
