In fact the film went out of its way not to depict Jesus as the central character, with Brian foregrounded to make the point that this was about an entirely different person. Jesus Christ appears twice in the film; first at the end of the first scene (The Nativity) when the three wise men realise they haven't visited the wrong stable and go down the road to the stable with Jesis, Mary & Joseph divinely depicted; and the secondly the first scene after the credits when Christ is delivering the Sermon on the Mount.  In this scene the words of Christ are taken from the Bible unaltered and the camera pans back through the crowd to Brian's mother at the back who shouts 'Speak Up'.

Unusually for a Python film Christ is not played by a Python but by Kenneth Colley, a respected Shakespearan and Television Actor with more than 100 film roles to his credit.
