No version of the Bible adapted to another medium can hope to capture every element of the Bible story(ies) faithfully. In the same way that a movie based on a novel must adapt things that just cannot be conveyed the same in text as in a visual medium, a movie based on the story of Jesus cannot help but make decisions about what stays in and what doesn’t.
This is even MORE true about the story of Jesus, since as we all know, the Bible isn’t just ONE book, but a collection of books, and in particular, we’re talking about how we adapt the story of Jesus as it appears in FOUR Gospels to a visual medium. At this point, it is important to note that one of those very Gospels, the gospel according to John, does not include the story of the temptation of Jesus Christ by Satan.
