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.
