I forgot to mention this in the video: While the woman with the discharge of blood is unnamed in Scripture, there are church traditions that associate her with the name Veronica (or sometimes Bernice) and suggest that she came from Paneada, which is likely a reference to the region of Caesarea Philippi (or Panias/Banias) both of which are consistent with her backstory in the show :) Also, I realized that the reason Thomas isn't in the scene probably has something to do with him going to visit Ramah's father :)
@@MrDJosh i was thinking that Yusuf was Joseph of Arithmais,but I thought Gaius was probably the centurion at the cross who Believed ? Never thought about the Roman that came about his servant,That makes sense too! NEAT.

No not all parts are biblical but they are relatable to everyday life. I love how the producer/directors added those scenes. I just went through what Eden did and I really appreciate that like if it was happening to me and helped me realize I am not alone.
Hi David. I just want to say your teaching and insight is amazing and I’m very grateful for your videos. I have been leading Bible studies on the chosen series and I’m glad to have found your videos. I have a question about some of the videos and I am wondering why you use the cartoon character of yourself on the screen.. I really enjoy when you are on the screen especially watching your reaction as you are watching the clips. The cartoon caricature is kind of a distraction and I fear it may delegitimize how knowledgeable you are. My group is starting episode four and I see that the only video that digs deep is the one with the caricature. Can you if possible explain why you are doing that. Thanks so much❤️✝️❤️
It just hit me... The story about Simon and Eden -- could the reason why Catholic priests are celebate. The focus in a priest's life would be addressing the issues of his congeration and less of himself. Well, aside from other reasons.
All the signs about Gaius thus far make it a racing certainty that he's going to be centurion who asks Jesus to heal his sick servant and says he knows Jesus doesn't actually have to come, but just make the command without leaving his crowd. And I'd give even odds that he's probably the same one present at the crucifixion who says, "Surely, this man was the son of God!"
No, it's ENTERTAINMENT. Even the filmmakers tell you it's not to be seen as anything other than that, and not a replacement for the Bible, etc. But encourages you to read the Bible for yourself.
Yes! I notice that Thomas was missing from the table after they came back from being sent out 2x2. I thought I was the only one. I also noticed him missing after watching it the second time. I guess the show set it up so it looks like he's still working things out with Rhema's father. Clever.
I love what you’re doing with The Chosen! I’m learning so much from you, and your happy, positive attitude is definitely contagious. I only have one request - can you please slow down a little bit? I’m from the south and sometimes I have a hard time understanding or following you. If not, I can always pause the video. Thanks so much!
It actually explains why I enjoyed this episode more than the last one: more biblical stuffs mentioned, so I could relate to them. Simon and his wife story? Tbh, I don't care one bit about them. Sorry Peter if you can see this comment from up there!
Hi David!! Looking forward to hearing your breakdown of this episode!! Your historical and cultural background makes me understand the time period of Scripture so much better!! Thank you!!😍😍😍😍
I loved the whole episode but particularly picked up on Rabbi Yusef saying I have family in Jerusalem we are rich we own a stone quarry great foreshadowing
I think Veronica would be the one who wipes Jesus’ face while he is carrying the cross to Golgotha. They are using one stone to kill two birds which is okay
Her name was not Veronica. That name came about from Ancient Latin and Greek. Vero- Latin for True Eikona - Greek for Image Veronica means True Image. Jesus left the imprint of His Holy face upon her veil
I am just beginning to get more familiar with the Bible and wonder where it talks about Joseph of Arimathea being a part of the Sanhedrin. Also, in The Shepherd Simone has read Torah and was convinced the Messiah would not be a great warrior.
I really liked this Episode for several reasons: we get a glimpse of the two by two missions - which is about all the glimpse we get from the Scripture; we get the normal human responses to this momentous experience of being empowered by God to help others - which means just like the other reactions we've seen in The Chosen by these everyday sinful, frailty humans, we see ourselves in the reactions of at least one of the followers; we see the challenges of working together in ministry - Mary Mag and Tamar and Zebedee or any of the two by two; we see what marital difficulties can be; we see how exhibiting the love of Jesus to those outside belief can build a bridge to relationship - Simon and Gaius as well as Eden to Veronica; we get introduced further to new characters and see how they are impacted by Jesus and will impact the story of his followers - Jairus and his family as well as Veronica; we see the progression of Rabbi Yousef's faith and Smuel's pursuit of his dogma. What's not to like? These vignettes of daily life are jampacked with information. And! We see, for one brief moment, Jesus. Full of joy and peace even though he's just been rejected in his home town and nearly tossed off a cliff. He's undaunted and victorious. Thank you to The Chosen!
I SEE JESUS in a New way!He's Real,has human feelings!In that verse,Im paraphrasing,He feels our pain or what we feel,Yes He Does.He knows how it isto be human too.
When Thomas was commissioned, Jesus purposefully sent him near Rahmas father’s house. Jesus told him to go to kafki after his commission was completed. If Thomas was in the scene with the other 11 I would have been disappointed. Wasn’t he gone because he was there??
I would like to listen to this if the presenter speaks at a normal speed. Surely if people want to race through this there is a setting that one can select the speed. It should be addressed.
Hi, Cathy, you can actually go the Settings --> Speed and Click on x0.75. it then sounds a little weird at times, but it is still an easy way to use to listen to the podcast at a more convenient speed for those who have a hard time with this fellow's normal speed. I hope this helps.🙂 Blessings!
I really appreciate your categorizing and analyzing of things that happened in the episode. And add that I do think Thomas wasn’t back because he was asking for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage
Thanks for the insight into animism and it's connection to today's society. Is it a word that would have been used to label that practice in 1st century Israel? I wonder. I also think that animism would have been a normal cultural thing in Egypt where Tamar's character is from. This brings me back to God's manifest power and sovereignty over the idols of the Egyptians in Exodus. I'm super happy to see her character written into the show and I share your sentiments that I hope that she is not the rich young ruler who walks away sad from Jesus saying that one must sell all to the poor, pick up the cross and follow Him. Tamar does mention that she is 'daughter to one of the 7 princes' of her land. I have to admit, it would be creative to turn that character into a female, but it could also be considered heretical. Maybe to avoid that error, the writers could use Tamar's character as a positive example whose journey/decision opposes that of the rich young ruler.
There is a narrative reason for Thomas to be missing. Jesus gave him permission to go to Kafni, Ramah's father, once his two by two mission was finished so that he could ask for Ramah's hand in marriage. It's also possible that the actor had scheduling conflicts which The Chosen writers used to their advantage by giving Thomas a reason to not return to Capernaum. Just like they did with the actor who plays Ramah. She had scheduling conflicts so they wrote her absence into the narrative. Slow down, David. You don't usually miss these kinds of details. Even so, I still love your work on reviewing The Chosen. 😊
Haha thanks! Yeah I acknowledged the slip-up on my part in the pinned comment up top🤣 I realized it during editing but was too lazy to change it. Whoopsies
Honestly this was probably the worst episode in the series so far. Not bad, but it feels like the writing took a major dip. Hopefully this is just a one off.
Why are so many talk shows coming on the media face book beefing up about the chosen. Do you Americans always do this with movies and other shows. You are all very weird.
Your commentaries help me so much. Thanks
Gaius is the Centurion who got his servant healed by Jesus. That’s what I think.
Really enjoyed this review
Excellent summary!
I figured Thomas went to visit Raima's father after his mission as Jesus told him he could
Same here!
Your points would be more clear if you could use the words “when” and “whenever” properly. You overuse “whenever”.

Yusuf is definitely Joseph of arimathea . Gaius is the centurion that had faith his servant would get healed without Jesus going to his home. 😊

Also the centurion of Capernaum has good relations with the synagogue elders. This is probably why Gaius is helping with the aqueduct.
Yes I agree. I was thinking Yusef = Joseph of Amrimathea
Thomas went to visit Ramahs father to ask for betrothal. That is why he would not be with the disciples yet.
@@lindajane7630 yep! I realized that upon further reflection🤣
I think Thomas was going to talk to her father about getting married

In the plot, Thomas was to meet with Ramah's father after he finished with John.
Yes! I notice that Thomas was missing from the table after they came back from being sent out 2x2. I thought I was the only one. I also noticed him missing after watching it the second time. I guess the show set it up so it looks like he's still working things out with Rhema's father. Clever.
I totally didn't notice of him...
I mean, he's not the loudest one among the apostles, like Tadeus, so I just never thought about it

Same :D
Do you think Gaius will be the centurion at the cross?
I'm not sure! I'm pretty confident he will be the one with the sick servant, but anything is possible!

Been thinking Yusuf was Joseph of Arimathea way back in Season One.
Sent in pairs was for one doing the work and other as witness and assistant
I think Veronica would be the one who wipes Jesus’ face while he is carrying the cross to Golgotha. They are using one stone to kill two birds which is okay
Her name was not Veronica.

Vero- Latin for True

Yeah I realized that after editing the video and didn't feel like re-editing🤣 silly me
Silly you. 😊
No.
It's a dramatization of biblical events.
Scripted for Television....
Did you watch the video
Wowzer wow, you talk fast, but you’re easy to understand. Thank you so much.
The answer to your question is no.
Is it good art? Most definitely yes! That’s what is refreshing about this Jesus show!

Everytime Simon has a concern, the others have it. Remember Jesus turns to His Apostles and calls Peter Satan, when Peter rebukes Him.
Isn't tamar really in the Bible?
There are characters named Tamar in the Bible, but not the character we see in the show
@@NowLetsBeHonest oh ok, gotcha
I think Thomas wasn't there because Jesus had told him to go see Remah's father to ask for her hand after he finished the mission.
Other things could cause Jairus' daughter to be sick. She could have a just physical issues.
He said in the episode it was the bad water.
Nice synopsis again mate. I believe Gaius is the centurion that his servant got healed by Jesus.
