In the crucifixion scene Jesus is shown with his feet nailed separately rather than, as is often the case, with one foot placed atop the other.

Select scenes from the final three episodes would be interwoven into a 1953 made for TV film called "I Beheld His Glory".

This crucified Jesus is shown, as tradition has it, with the nails through his palms rather than wrists. The two thieves, however, are shown with outstretched arms tied to the crossbeam. This difference was done to carry out the tradition that Jesus' crucifixion was unique.
