The film primarily covers the final 12 hours before Jesus' death, consisting of [[wikipedia:wikipedia:it:Passion of Jesus|the Passion]], hence the title of the film. It begins with the [[wikipedia:Agony in the Garden|Agony in the Garden]] in the [[wikipedia:Garden of Olives|Garden of Olives]] (or Gethsemane), the betrayal of [[wikipedia:Judas Iscariot|Judas Iscariot]], the brutal [[wikipedia:Scourging at the Pillar|Scourging at the Pillar]], the suffering of [[wikipedia:wikipedia:it:Mary, mother of Jesus|Mary]] as prophesied by [[wikipedia:wikipedia:it:Simeon (Gospel of Luke)|Simeon]], the crucifixion and death of Christ, and ends with a brief depiction of his [[wikipedia:wikipedia:it:Resurrection of Jesus|resurrection]]. However, the film also has flashbacks to particular moments in Christ's life, some of which are biblically based, such as [[wikipedia:The Last Supper|The Last Supper]] and [[wikipedia:The Sermon on the Mount|The Sermon on the Mount]], and others that are artistic license, such as when Mary comforts Jesus and the scene where Jesus is crafting a table.

In ''The Passion: Photography from the Movie "The Passion of the Christ"'', director Mel Gibson says, "This is a movie about Love, Hope, Faith and forgiveness. Jesus died for all mankind, suffered for all of us. It's time to get back to that basic message. The world has gone nuts. We could all use a little more Love, Faith, Hope and forgiveness."
