The Bible is also available on Amazon streaming to rent or buy, or as a DVD. It may be too intense for sensitive kids. ![]() I plan to show these two episodes to all my kids, even the little ones, over the course of the week. We see the nail, we see the hammer, but the camera cuts away before the nail is struck. ![]() Jesus is bloody and battered as he carries His cross, but the focus is on His strength and perseverance, and the help He receives from Simon of Cyrene and Jesus’ mother Mary.

The depiction of Jesus’ passion is not as bloody as in The Passion of the Christ. Especially episodes 8 and 9 of The Bible, which begins with Palm Sunday and ends with the crucifixion. I think either would be a good addition to a family’s Holy Week.
