Mesih (Persian: مسیح, romanized: Masih), more commonly and officially referred to as The Messiah,[1][2][3][4][5] but also referred to as 'Jesus',[6] Good Tidings of the Savior (Persian: بِشارت مُنجی, romanized: Bašārat me-najy)[7] Jesus, the Spirit of God[8][9][10][11][12][4] is a 2007 Iranian film directed by Nader Talebzadeh (1953—2022), depicting the life of Jesus from an Islamic perspective, based not only on the canonical gospels, but also the Qur'an, and, it would seem, the Gospel of Barnabas.

[2] Variety stated that "With over 1,000 actors and extras, it is one of the largest film productions ever attempted in Iran.

A showing of the series based on the film by two Lebanese television stations Al-Manar and National Broadcasting Network during the Holy month of Ramadan was suspended after the broadcast of one initial episode, as the Christian religious authorities in the country demanded broadcasts to be suspended because many portrayals in the film contradict with traditional Christian church beliefs about Jesus.

[17] The film portrays Jesus as a prophet, not as a son of God, and claims that someone else was crucified in his place.

[14] The 2007 Religion Today Film Festival in Italy has given the movie an award for promoting interfaith understanding.
