VeggieTales Episodes Based on Bible Stories

While all episodes of VeggieTales includes at least some minor direct Bibical reference or actually tells a Biblical story in tact within a separate plot (i.e. the story of Easter being told in a one of the scenes in An Easter Carol), there are many that are almost entirely retellings of Biblical stories. Here is a list of the VeggieTales Episodes and Movie that teach morals through a plot inspired by a Bible story with some VeggieTales twists.
