It did as far as I can tell.I'm not a professional bible scholar. I've read the bible a few times and it seemed painfully close.

yeah, yeah, Dogma was just on comedy central, what are you the 13th apostle? I'm sticking with Jesus was either middle eastern or Jewish but not black, to this day i've never seen a black jew. Even Egyptians on the northern coast of Africa are 'Arab', They can pass for a light skinned black but thier hair is straight and they look more like an India Indian. And from Egypt you still have to cross the meditteranean to get to Jerusalem, so why would they be any darker farther away? I don't understand why geography makes you think Jesus was black.

The Bible does say that he was disfigured beyond recognition. The betrayal, the trial, scourging, pulling out of his beard, crown of thorns, crucifiction, and death were all mentioned in prophecy hundreds of years previous. He foretold his resurrection himself many times. I think Mel got a little graphic with the gore, though, although it was effective in showing the brutality of the Romans in those days.

As I understand it, it was taken word for word from the original Aramaic scripture, and so if you believe in the bible, I would say yes, it's an accurate depiction.

No, considering that the Romans wrote down everything they did, from criminal trials to when they went to the bathroom. There is no evidence in the Roman records of Jesus's crucifixion nor of Barabbas being freed. Also, there is no record of Herod's horrible "crime" of killing all the children at the time of Jesus's birth. Considering what a jerk Herod, again no Roman record remains of this event.

Probably not, but it does depict a concept worth understanding.
JESUS was crusified with TWO other people who were NOT there for religious reasons.
That is the concept.

Closer than Harry Potter movies have been to the original sacred texts...

Considering that the Gospels themselves conflict on important details, and Mel tried to reconcile these as best he could - no, it does not represent any of the versions in the Gospels.

No one can ever know what really happened. It's just one interpretation, and may have some similarities, but mostly it's not all that accurate. It would be next to impossible to know details.
