This human video takes place in Christ's times. It covers some of the healings and miracles that Jesus did while he was on earth.
Main characters and crowd should be dressed in biblical clothes with Jesus also in that period's 'casual wear.' Jesus should followed by several disciples, also wearing periodic clothes.
There is no talking/dialog in Human Videos by any of the characters.
Song words are in caps.
