The following short YouTube clip comes from the Son of God (2014) movie. What makes it special is how it shows through Peter's eyes the "danger" present at Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
The following is an excerpt from Rotation.org's Detailed Outline to the Son of God movie (available to Supporting Members of Rotation.org. Join today!).
This excerpt from the outline lists the scenes immediately before and after the one shown in the video above. Those scenes deal with similar subject matter: who is Jesus, what kind of messiah is he going to be, what people think about him, what the dangers are, and who opposes him.
Scene 14: (approx. 3 minutes)
1. Jesus visits Nazareth, comes home to his mother Mary (remind kids who this is and where)

3. Pharisee confronts Jesus and accuse him or healing by demons
4. Jesus says to Peter, “Turn the other cheek” Question: Jesus declares that he fulfills the prophecy of the One who would come to save. Why did the Pharisee argue with Jesus? Why can’t they see that Jesus is the One? What is Jesus’ response to those who hate him?
