My favorite is when Jesus called Mathew to follow him! Mathew did not hesitate and was willing to give up everything.
we love all of it and we watch the videos over and over again never get tired learning more each time
"I won't make you do anything....but my Father on the other hand" "I don't know what that means, but lets leave on a high note!" hahahahahahaha what GENIUS banter! the writing!
See? I happen to agree with you!
Interesting speculation being made on the Yussaf (Yosef) character as being the "Joseph of Arimathea" in the Bible. "Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus..." Seems a reasonable supposition as he is a student of Nicodemus. I suppose we'll have to wait and see....
Wow...hmmm... I had NOT thought of that possibility of Joseph of Arimathea! Now I'll be eagle-eyeing that guy!
I could see Jesus' mother traveling with them a lot. I learned in Bible study that once a Jewish woman lost her husband, if they didnt remarry they were pretty much left destitute, many were left to die. They had no one to take care of them, except her sons. My favorite episode was the first one where Mary ran from the tavern and Jesus called her by name. He then took hold of her head to drive out the demons. I sobbed. Then in the episode where Mary came back and had to face Jesus. She couldnt, she was too ashamed. She said I broke and you fixed me and then she said You redeemed me and I just threw it all away. He said it isnt much of a redemption if it can be lost in a day. I felt the very same way when I came to Christ last summer. I do enjoy your commentaries, Ive watched both seasons all the way through 4 times. Picking up new things each time.
Lisa, I agree with you on every count here.... everything you said! ^^^ That first episode... wow... and you're right-on with what you learned about widows. I just never considered, reading the gospels, that Mary was likely sitting nearby during all those classic moments...
Oh wow, Steve! Watching again every riveting scene in this whole episode, leaves me in awe of the brilliant script, the superb anointed acting by Jonathan, all the disciples & unknown newcomers, Quintus, Atticus ... and the music or background sounds that help to create the atmosphere. I am constantly drawn into feeling I'm there in the moment with them all, yet understanding with hindsight all the various tensions that are so natural and real within the group who are also discovering themselves as they battle to understand Jesus and His ministry. This is another profoundly impacting episode, where I agree with all your insights.
🙂👏
Thank you Colleen! You and I are enjoying this series in the same ways... being drawn in.
My favorite has been the feeding of the 5000 and how the scene was shot with an actual real crowd of people in character, amazing work.
The power of Marry’s words in the scene ‘ I’m sorry that I relied heavily on my own understanding’ which is exactly what they were all doing in that moment!!! Very powerful
I have watched 3 seasons of the chosen,wonderfully acted & educational. I found your videos & have loved your explanations. Thank you. I am just wondering on most of your videos the sound goes off for several minutes, not sure if this happens for everyone or just me. Thank you again from someone who needed to find my way & belief in the goodness of God & Jesus forgiving my sins, which have been many.
Hi Belinda! Thanks! The audio goes out because RUclips attempted to scrub the music from the video because they released a soundtrack. Copyright issues. However, my videos are intact over on my Patreon page. www.patreon.com/user?u=38996497&l=es
What I like about Atticus and why he's recognizing something going on with Jesus is also what makes him good at his job, makes him a dangerous man, he's Observant. He listens and Watches before Acting or talking. He spent a number of episodes not saying a word just standing back and watching events unfold around him. When others are to busy or to into their own worlds to realize what's going on with Jesus, Atticus on the other hand, it's his job to observe the world going on around him. It's kind of like that old saying, sometimes you're to into the mix to see what's going on, sometimes you have to just take a step back and look at the big picture as a whole, That's Atticus seeing the picture from the outside, like the viewers of the show.
BE blessed! BE blessed! 🙏☺️👏
No one has ever caught one of my favorite quotes in this episode.
“Where are you from?”
“Wadi Kelt…”
“Where?”
It’s hilarious because no one’s heard of this tiny town. And this question of where they are from gets lost in the rest of the conversations. But I find it hilarious!
I just came across your channel and watched your reaction. Thank you! I really appreciate your wise commentary. How you mentioned the Father entering into a covenant with the Son.....never heard that. Very thought provoking. I will be watching more. Thanks again!
Thank you Gary - I'm really glad you joined us here! I appreciate the comment!
@@EmbracetheQuestion I have watched several of your reactions now! Time to move on to your bibstidies too!
My favourite is this one. I was so patiently waiting for this to come out. I love that you did the whole thing. I was excited to not have to wait for part 2 :)
But my other favourite is the one with Jesus healing Jessie and the pool. I love see Atticus' reaction to everything.
There is something about watching someone's reaction to Jesus that is just POWERFUL. Your example of Atticus... perfect.
I was up late (like 1 or 2 am) watching these commentary episodes. I didn’t want to stop watching these Chosen episodes. Mary Magdalene was one of my favorite characters. Did you see the new season 3 trailer this past week on RUclips?! Episodes 1 & 2 will showing in theaters this November (18th, I think). 🥰🎥. There will be a livestream on Tuesday, October 25th.
Nicodemus is my favorite...
I am back as I watch the rest of your commentary and video + I love too how Jonathan Roumie plays Jesus it does seem like he is anointed to play it! There is so much about this show #Thechosen it is amazing to me
My favourites _so_ _far_ are:
(1) Jesus meeting Photina at the well; and (2) Jesus quietly delivering the sermon on the mount just before the dawn with only Matthew beside him.
I love their breathtaking beauty and their intimacy.
Those are great ones for sure! The Utah sets were beautiful indeed.
Peter and Andrew are so funny 😂😂
So many favorites:
1. Nicodemus and Jesus on the rooftop John 3:16
2. Season 1, Episode 3 The Children
3. 9 minute opening, just music to action brothers Jessie and Simon
YES!
Thank you I like your comments on the Chosen
You are very welcome
HalleluYah! I came across your videos midway season 2 & enjoyed it so much, I Had to go & find your commentary on season 1. I was a tad disappointed to find your season 1:1 video had no clips or viewing of the episode, but kept in there, cos i knew those type videos were coming! So, so glad you're going to revisit your commentary on 1:1, as Seeing the video along with your commentary is so instructive & helps the viewers & lovers of the Word to both enjoy watching it with someone who can offer such valuable insight as well as experience the context & gravity of the Word in full Living colour. So that "coming to the end" of the season, is bitter sweet, because we've got another fresh look at all that was contained in 1:1 to look forward to. Diving deep is always so much fun, with the Holy Spirit constantly being our Breath of Life, we have no desire "to come up for air"...
So glad you found the channel! I couldn't agree with you more on "not desiring to come up for air"! I'd say probably a week away from the 1:1 re-do. 😀
@@EmbracetheQuestion Whoop-whoop! 😅
Thank you for your insights, especially with you being a pastor, many leaders put themselves on a pedestal where the average person can never reach them or truly get to know them. I really enjoy your reactions to various scenes, whenever I laugh or cry, I look to see how you react and it's golden. I remember watching the very first episode and I thought you were 'mean' LOL, you barely smiled or reacted but I'm sure it does take an act of courage to put your face up there for every kind of critique!..... and I'm sure you've come to settle in, not worrying about how to act/react etc, I think it's a hard job for some of us who don't like center stage. I've watched this series so many times and I've learned a lot because of it, I go look up things in my Bible to better understand the plot. This series has definitely drawn me closer to the Father on many fronts, everybody is well suited to the roles they've been assigned....it's truly Gods work!
Thank you for the kind words! MEAN! lol Oh boy, maybe I should re-do that one... I probably did look mean. I was probably trying way too hard. I'm so glad you watched!
The scene with Jesus praying after hearing the news of John being arrested and then seeing Him keep his cool when Quintos throws his last line really gave both a humanizing and solid side of Jesus' character.
Being a viewer who's seen all the past Jesus movies made in the 70s/80-90s they always had Jesus be this stone fist type person who didn't bat an eye at whatever happened to His cousin and just drive on down the road. This breaks that wall.
COMPLETELY agree! Thanks for the comment!
excited because season 3 is starting tomorrow!! Sermon on the Mount - anxiously waiting for 11 months
Jusuf is more open-hearted and will become Joseph of Arimathea in the end I hope.
Nicodemus is without a doubt one of my favorites in this entire series but I really do like the scene with him and Jesus discussing being born again but I also enjoyed the scene with Mary being redeemed as well from her days as A lady of the evening in the red quarter
Nicodemus is just someone I identify with in so many ways.
Hello Pastor Steve, my favorite episode was Nicodemus meeting Jesus!! All the episodes are wonderful though, thank you for your reaction & commentary!! :)
That one is truly special! Thank you Joyce!
@@EmbracetheQuestion You're welcome!
The Bible tells us about Jesus's birth, his lessons, death and resurrection, but almost nothing about his childhood.
Very nice. Looking forward to your next one.
Thank you Donald!
Great commentary on this one I always catch anew thing so this time I thought it humorous with Simon and Andrew in the boat, I seen you smiling too! Anyway I am glad to have found your channel #thexhosen should invite you on their show too perhaps they will. Anyway I did share the last one via tweet with them
Steve I love your show.
Sorry to add this so late...but really enjoy your take on this. This show has been so inspiring and enlightening!
Thank you Kim!
@40:39 - Simon the Zealot said he is no longer a Zealot but he is zealous/ reminding me of what Phillip said to Matthew, I 'was' something too, before I met the Rabbi, "when you are with Jesus, 'am' is all that matters"
It's the new life that is created in us.
I think you're exactly right, Bing
I finallly figured out that Quintus sounds just like John de Lancie when he played Q in Star Trek. It's the same playful villainous voice.
I'm curious about Jesus's childhood till the time he began teaching. 🤔
Thank you for this, I felt like I was watching it together with a friend. Too bad that there are some areas without sound.
Thank you for watching! The sound was good... until RUclips attempted to remove the soundtrack from underneath the dialogue because of copyrights. It's a pain!
Thanks for sharing this, I was afraid it was my phone! I was just about ready to go buy a new phone so I could watch this! THANK YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING!
I would like to ask if God already knows the sinners in Judgement day who will go to hell so what is the Judgement day for? Is it like for formality? As i understand even if you repent during the actual judgement day still you wouldn't be forgiven and is already predetermined to go to hell. Can someone clarify this for me as i am confused or perhaps not knowing at all? Enlighten me pls.
Well it's official Mary is the brains by waiting for Jesus like he asked, lol
What I enjoy is the dichotomy of these 5 'external' or perhaps extra-biblical characters. Here you have Quintus, Gaius, Atticus, Shmuel and Yussaf. Five men, all exposed to the same information and yet how each of the individual 5 responds to it is interesting to me. Atticus does not dismiss it as mumbo jumbo or magic, nor do I suspect does Yussaf (at least not in the political climbing way) Gaius is just doing his job, but is not as entrenched (possibly because how high he can climb is limited to his parentage)....Quintus is too narcissistic and self important to see or even care to see the truth (or that is my take on him, although his character is enjoyable entertainment) Schmuel is too much of a party line supporter on legalism and I suspect social climber. Yussaf is a wild card. I could see him going either way. My gut tellls me both Atticus and Gaius could well become converts as they are not as quick to dismiss and Gaius as not a natural born Roman, actually did like Matthew even though he was a Jew by birth. But we see this in life...even in my own family. All seeing the same information and yet not all are believers. But then again, many are called but not all chosen and sadly some will fall under the, seeing they won't see, and hearing they will not hear category. But I do love watching these five paths and am interested to see how many end up on the same END PATH. Side note, there is later on a man named Gaius numbered among the believers later on in the gospels in Romans (irony) 16:23...here is hoping.
HEY! I forgot about Gaius in Romans! That's right! Loved your assessment... so good.
@@EmbracetheQuestion Well my father was a minister LOL
@@EmbracetheQuestion I am anxious to see how much influence Nicodemus has on Yussaf. It was hinted at in this episode, and Yussaf seems to trust Nicodemus's assessment on things in general and it would seem it carries on to Jesus specifically, as he said, I believe my Rabbi saw something in Jesus. So, this begs the question, will Nicodemus's opinion bring along Yussaf in its wake? OR will Nicodemus's hesitancy to openly follow be an opportunity lost to "save" Yussaf. I hope it is a relationship that is fleshed out a bit on other seasons. I like how this kind of thing plays out. Each of us can have an effect not even intended in the lives of others...like a stone thrown into a pond causes ripples. This would be a great series of questions for discussions on what the outcome of these 5 characters may portend.
Wym extra biblical? then, whats the closest Bible alignment verse?
The one when said I am the law of Moses
Watching this again. Jesus was "cool as a cucumber" when he got arrested.
Susan, He surely was! I think we should all be as cool if we only knew our identity and who watched over us. That's the difficult thing to remember at times.
Wife Bobbie here. I find Atticus to be a very interesting character. He's fascinated by Jesus and I think he's going to turn. Notice how many times during the conversation between Jesus and Quintus that Jesus glances at Atticus, like He's reading his soul.
Hi Bobbie - I agree. The Atticus character is going to be with us long-term, I think!
Tonight’s “Chosen” livestream will be at 8:30pm EST on RUclips, The Chosen app, and Facebook.
Yusif was more of a sympathizer, Schmuel is a hunter.
Agreed!!
Why do we keep loosing sound on this last presentation?
So sorry Nicole! RUclips tries to remove the music because it is copyrighted (came out on a soundtrack). So it messes up ALL of the sound :(
Your audio keeps going mute
Can u work on that
RUclips has messed up some of the videos, and taken others down completely. I think you can see all of mine (un-messed-up) over on my Patreon channel. Check them out: www.patreon.com/user?u=38996497
That's some great background on the Roman "cohorts" Steve thank you and where did you find that out?
Hey thank you! Honestly, the ROME - Total War game educated me in a lot of those troop differences a decade ago. I did have to do some more reading online since that time - but I can't recall where. Likely, Wikipedia was there somewhere.
P s maybe Mary did go to travel with Jesus and disciples
she was freed from the demons? I think it would have had a much harder time living in the red quarter or maybe in the town where people knew her, so I can imagine she was close, I had thought she was the woman caught in adultery but Dallas team wrote me and said that was not Mary M.
Anyway, I enjoy what you share with us, I look forward to the next season of your input too! God willing, I am binging and liking this so much!
Thank you Doreen! I'm very much enjoying your comments also!
@@EmbracetheQuestion
you are welcome! Thank you too!
These last two episodes the volume isn't working. Why
RUclips trying to silence any copyrighted music, Aminta.
Please check you audio. It has gone out again. Missing alot.
The sound is not messed up on these: www.patreon.com/user?u=38996497&l=es
Blessings!
I cant hear anything at 30:28
Lost sound at the best part
Hi Henry - I know :( RUclips... tried to mute the music beneath the scene because it's part of the Soundtrack to Season 2 and it's copyrighted. Ruined the sound...
Hello, I am thoroghly enjoying your commentary! 🤔 My guess (as of 1/30/22) is that Gaius is the centurian who has the faith for his servant to be heal without Jesus coming to his home and Aticus is the one at the cross declaring "Surely he is the son of God." We'll see what happens.
Thank you Crystal! I think your guesses are great. I could totally see that coming to pass!
Well, now it's 8/6/24. Still don't know 100% certain about Atticus, in fact I have some new questions and and new wonderings about Quintus. But I think we solved who Gaius is now. What do you think?
BTW, I'm watching this for the umpteenth time in preparation for tonight's chosen small group session. Always enjoy your take on these episodes. Would love it if you did season 4.
no audio
audio is out
Was the Jew rocking and praying in front of a stone wall, was that the wailing wall?
It has been a while since I have seen that scene, but in Jesus’s day that wall was simply part of the rest of the temple compound and didn’t hold any special significance over the others. After the temple’s destruction in 70ad, that western wall was all that was left intact which was how it gained the label “wailing” wall. So likely that wasn’t necessarily meant to depict that particular wall.
I sort of like the Romans mostly because they have a face. They were made into humans with different personalities. But I'm going to remain a believer in Jesus. ( that's a little humor)
Niccodemus touched my heart.
Thr sound went out
Your sound goes off
Linda, that was the RUclips utility attempting to remove the soundtrack from the audio because it's copyrighted. It messed up the sound of the video.
why no sound
Audio is only messed up because RUclips tried to remove copyrighted music. The un-messed-up videos are over on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/user?u=38996497
Why did jesus call himself the law if moses. I could see him being the law of moses because of who he is, but he didn't say that in the bible.
Completely true - He never said that. That isn't a line I would have kept, personally. The Law came through Moses, Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ. That said, I get the point they were trying to make. Jesus came to be a replacement, of sorts. He is our healing, our sabbath, our festivals... etc. He fulfilled the entire purpose of the Law (the purpose which Israel as a nation had completely missed).
Fave: S2 E6. I am a Mary of Magdala
The beauty of this show… most of us find ourselves somewhere in this group.
Simon and Andrew remind me of my own younger brothers (I frequently want to knock their heads together, and they're both in their late 40s).
The disciples's bickering and one-upmanship makes a lot more sense when you consider that they were all likely between 13 and 21 years old. Typical kids. Lol
Shmuel is annoying, but I have to respect the fact that to his mind he is doing what he believes is right. He truly believes that Jesus is a false prophet, and he's trying to enforce Jewish laws and keep people from being deceived, unaware that he's actually the one who is deceived. Unfortunately he's gotten involved with Yanni, who cares more about the politics and getting ahead than the actual law of God or the people.
I believe Yousef may wind up being Joseph of Arimathea; he recognizes that Nicodemus has seen something about Jesus, and he seems to have a more open mind about what that might be.
Have a blessed day! 🙏✝️❤
Oh that is some great stuff there!
fix your audio pastor
Bro gets more longwinded every episode 😅
Where in the scripture was Jesus detained by the Romans, except in the garden. The scene is not real, it did not happen, (that we know of). Instead it is made up by human imagination. There was a time when I would have said that this is a wonderful series. I would no longer suggest this to anyone, especially someone looking for the truth of the Word. The second season has two false episodes, the first is when Mary runs away, and Jesus says words he never said, " did you think you would never sin again". No Jesus never says this in the scripture , he says " go and sin no more". . If Jesus words are not sufficient , then you have no right to be showing him to the sick and hurting world we live in.
Cheryl, I don't think you're wrong here. But the key words you wrote were "that we know of". No, I don't think Jesus was ever detained except in the garden. Does that alter the Gospel message? For me, no. He did say "go and sin no more" more than once. Why? Not because He was offended by it. If He was, He would NEVER have hung out with tax collectors and prostitutes. The only kind of people Jesus looked down upon were religious people who thought they could justify themselves with their own righteousness. He KNEW He was going to fix the sin issue. Why then did He make the statement "go and sin no more"? Because it was going to get that woman (or man) killed. Sin hurts God's kids. But the flesh is prone to evil, and the message the devil tells us is that if we sin, we are unforgivable. Especially the 10th or 1000th time. And yet... the tax collector that beat his breast and said, "God forgive me, a sinner" was justified, not the "righteous" Pharisee. That was the point... and that is consistent with the message of the entire new testament. Where sin abounds, grace super-abounds.
@@EmbracetheQuestion Modern day silly Christians seeking to be entertained by this Mormon funded soap opera! Dallas Jenkins said 95% of the script was fabricated yet here we have a majority of so called believers waiting with bated breath for the next episodes.
Luke didn't write for Paul. Luke was nowhere around Jesus when Jesus was on earth. Luke was medicine student far away from Israel in 30 AD, maybe Antioch which had a school of medicine. Mark was like 13 in 33AD . Mark might has been the kid who ran naked leaving his rich cloth (rich kid pajamas)behind in the garden. Luke was companion of Paul but wrote his books for a Roman-Greek politician who converted to Christianity called Theophilus. Luke wrote his books after Paul was executed in 66 AD. Mathews wrote his Gospel before Luke, because Luke says many had already written Gospels(Mathew and Mark were some of those he talks about).
My favorite is Mary Magdalene. Not because is biblical or accurate( it's actually mostly un biblical) but because the actress is excellent and she is also gorgeous.
Urban cohort LOL like a Roman SS going to see a "Praetor" on "intelligence" about a Jewish preacher and healer. Hight ranking Romans didn't care about Jesus or any healer. Pilate didn't even know who Jesus was LOL . There were many healers and false Messiahs , not just Jesus in 30 AD LOL
