As Jesus walked away from the cliff and passed through the crowd, didn't you notice how he looked up at the Father and grinned? Like saying: "How was that, Dad?"
Joseph was a total mensch! He deserves all kinds of respect. That's why I cannot believe that God would require him to have a sexless marriage and no more children after Jesus was born. Joseph deserved a normal married life and children to raise for his own heritage. I'm glad this show gave a nod to Jesus having real brothers and not just "cousins."
@@taralohman6492 I can't believe God made Jesus do everything and say everything God wanted him to say and not of his own will, then died so that we can have our sins forgiven and opened up a path for the poor and lost to have a relationship with him? Did Jesus also not deserve a life with children and a wife to raise for his own heritage? God has put everything in place all by his own will and his very plan.. Joseph lived a life and witnessed what most people now would ever dream. Raising and caring for the very being that would grow to bring salvation to the whole entire world is in my opinion one of the greatest blessings you can ever be apart of. I'm sure Joseph wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
@@taralohman6492 Joseph & Mary had relations after Jesus was born. They had two sons, James & Jude, who are the authors of the books James & Jude in the Bible. My belief is Jesus came to them after He resurrected and there was no doubt He was the Messiah. Mary & Joseph also had daughters, Jesus’ half sisters & brothers.
@@jjonlaw8140 Jesus didn’t marry or have children because He is God, not just a mere man - He & the Father are One. He’s the Son of Man & the Son of God - no one since before time began is like Him. He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings, the only begotten Son of the Living God.
That Torah scroll was lent to The Chosen by a messianic synagogue in Dallas. It was rescued from the Holocaust. Plus the actor who read it is a messianic pastor in real life.
I take the Rabbi saying, "Jesus, If you do not renounce your words, we will have no choice but to follow the law of Moses." as the same as him saying "Who do you say you are?" and the first 2 words in Jesus response is "I AM" , and the rest of the sentence "The Law of Moses" just blows it right out of the water and clarifies EXACTLY what He is claiming. Very powerfully written.
This shouldn't blow your mind. It should make you mad. Jesus never said any such thing. He said he came to fulfill the law. This statement is heresy. I'll stick to the Word of God. If you feel the need to watch a TV show to "make the Bible come alive" then you need to check your relationship to God.
I thought the words (I am) is what God told Moses when Moses ask who he was. If Jesus told anyone that he was (I am) hes saying he is God. That would make them angry.
I guess I didn't imagine a "mob" on the cliff. They were people who had known Him his whole life. They probably felt like they should do something to Him because of His claims, but maybe weren't that enthusiastic about carrying it out when it came right down to it. And, of course, there was something supernatural going on to aid in His walking away from it. I also loved how He looked up to the Father and smiled as He left.
Lisa me too!!! And did you notice when he first arrives at the cliff's edge, he looks around in the SKY looking...I think he is seeing Legions Of Angels prepared to scoop him up.....and you know God must have been looking on also. And at the end, Raffi Aaron and the Rabbi are standing like stone even though they wanted to kill him. I think the angels froze them in place to guard his exit. It's what we don't see in the scene that makes it such a "mike drop".
I love several things specifically in this episode; when Jesus walked through the crowd and looked up to Heaven and smiled and secondly, I am so thankful when He said "there's no turning back now... after today."
The use of Rafi in this episode was so well done. He said yes Jesus performed a miracle but that Jesus didn’t make this claim. What in the world was Rafi thinking…that the miracle showed nothing? It was proof that even if He did perform miracles, they wouldn’t recognize them. It spoke volumes.
I used to visit the local prison (with Prison Fellowship) and often quoted Isaiah chapter 61 and Luke 4 to an inmate I was talking with, we would also sing the song "Go tell everyone"
I really enjoy learning about the Jewish culture through you all and pairing it with the Scriptures through the Chosen. Your perspective and insight is so very very valuable. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I absolutely love this episode and seeing the way Joseph joked around with Jesus as a boy helps round out the picture of who he was in my head. I love the idea of the bridle and everything it represents. I look forward to your reaction to episode 4, it was amazing!
Hey courtney, i know this might sound like a silly question. But did you think episode 4 sucked? Compared to this? Some people complained about that episode. And said they didn’t like the story because simon and eden scenes was annoying. Or that there wasn’t enough scenes 2 by 2 of the disciples. But me personally not my favorite episode but it was good. Looking forward to ep5. Ep 7 and 8 are gonna be special and doesn’t have release dates. And title names yet. Some say they might release in theaters. But i doubt it. That would be cool though.
@Let All of Creation Serve the Most High yes. But i think episode 5 will probably be the better episode. Ep 6 could be interesting too. Intensity at tent city is the title of ep 6. but hey at least in ep 4 we get to see shmuel. I was wondering where did he go? we saw him in the season 3 trailer. He probably has an interesting role this season. I think we might see more explanation or flashbacks in later episodes regarding the 2 by 2 mission hopefully🙄
Beautiful truth about God's faithfulness throughout history to fulfil his promies and covenants to His people. So grateful that as a Gentile I've been grafted in! Thanks, Tom and Sam for your insights.
i thank god i found the chosen,and now your fun channel.dallas did so well picking the beautiful talented actors .what a blessing for you to have studied and now teaching about our savior and going the the promise land that is so amazing .i hope the whole world gets on board ,i think it is so possible with the internet ,love you
The bridle gave me the thought of this scripture as well. John 21:18 ESV - 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.
I often think when watching the chosen, how amazing it would have been to see, touch and talk to Yeshua as a real man in the flesh here on earth. 💓 I love him first and foremost with my whole heart. I can only imagine the awe that the people living and walking with him felt. 💓 What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see. 🙌🙌🙌
So beautifully explained! Thank you!❤ I so appreciate how the writers had no problem with capturing Our Savior's words and message to His people. He is The Word. He is The Law❤❤
Was waiting for your reaction for days 🙏 I always look for your reactions after every Chosen new episode. Really appreciate the additional stuff I learn from your channel 😊 thank you for what you do

Yeshua is the logos; so for him to say, "I am the law of Moses" is very much in keeping with his message. " I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the father but by me".
It is shown in the introduction of the episode that Lazarus grew up in Nazareth with Jesus when they were just children, and that later he moved to Bethany with his sisters to start a business
I am always excited to watch a new Grafted video. I learn so much. With strong desire to grow, I have already signed up for your class, Dr.Tom. Really looking forward to it. (Perhaps Sam could drop in on a class...just saying.. ).
Thank you Tom& Sam for your insightful and uplifting reactions to the new Chosen episodes, and especially your knowledge of Scripture!! I learn so much!! I hope you and your families have a joyful and blessed New Year!!😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jesus and Lazarus are the two children at the beginning of the show before the credits and they're having a play date. Lazarus grew up in Nazareth and moved to Bethany is what the story is on the show.
The historical record shows that Lazarus was born in Bethany. There would have to be a backstory of why he and his family were attached to Nazareth at some stage.
@yeshuaisisaiah9650 I've posted 2 links, but I think TH-cam is removing them. Look up a diagram on the tabernacle. It will come up. You will see the English for the way, derek, the truth, emet, the life, chai. It may not be on every one of them, so you may have to pull up a couple of them to find it
Powerful, awesome moment in my opinion. He very well may have said that. Jesus, as fulfillment of the OT (ie, Isaiah) - I AM THE LAW OF MOSES - sounds so much more powerful. LOVED IT!!
Law off Moses = Torah. Torah = Word off God. John 1.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus is the Word off God and as such is the Law of Moses (which is truly God's Law).
Thank you both, for your incredible insights as well as the humor with which you share them. It's so wonderful to appreciate the old testament references, their meanings, and also context using the Hebrew shades of meaning. Also, I think at the dinner table they all would have prayed to the Father. ;) ;)
there is a vlog, with a million viewers, in Azerbaijan, with a simple rural family, who is building a new home...in one of the latest episodes, they have workers that come to build a kitchen for their home, and those workers are both carpenters and stone masons, because a lot of the kitchen is a great hearth, and you can really see how the two were one and the same, they cannot be separated from each other in an ancient culture...dts/usa
This is excellent teaching of lessons to understand how our lived tendency swift to wrong way but know if you are saved but to know you will feel the spirit of different ways of wrong and right. It’s a challenge when you in sinful world while you are with Jesus spiritual experience. Stay with Him . Amen
My favorite part of the episode is the synagogue and mountain stuff. Literally, my heart stopped beating and was beating super fast all at the same time in the synagogue scenes. And when Yeshua left the mountain I literally screamed and started clapping. And I NEVER do that lol. Also random, but if y'all do see this, what translation of the Bible do y'all use? I'm reading through the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB), which I love. but I'm curious as to which translation/Bible y'all use.
Scholarly translations are best. Remember the KJV only printed what King James wanted. He had them delete a bunch of text notes before approval. The NASB 1995 is good, a word for word translation. The ESV is used widely in churches. There are some great videos on here educating about the translations. The phrase for phrase translations are the NLT, the BBE, the more modern ones as well. I read them all.
Just seeing this. Watching the scene between Joseph and young Jesus I thought about the bridle and how it was used to help bring the people out of bondage in Israel. If it is used for the donkey entering Jerusalem, then it will once again be used to ultimately bring people out of bondage.
It’s interesting how chosen wrote this scene. When reading this passage in scripture, I imagine Jesus turning into spirit form and his body literally walking through them without them noticing.
Ive watched the Chosen with Isaiah Saldivar, Leonardo Torres, and now you guys... I really learn alot with you two Sam & Tom. I am really having an amazing time wstching the chosen with y'all while Im waiting for season 4. I would like to know if you have a church and where. Im in Kearney so thats not to far from Kansas. I would love to get info about service.
Out of pure curiosity to learn, I found it interesting that Jesus taught the Our Father prayer that we know of today, but throughout the film He obviously uses other prayer on 0:15 more frequently. I don't know, any thoughts?
Jesus being the law can also be interpreted in context of a messianic passage in Isaiah 2:3-4 where the messiah is identified as "the law": "and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth *the law* , and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. *He* shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." So if Jesus is the messiah, then he is absolutely right to call himself "the law".
Mary's home in Nazareth backed up to a cave which was part of the home...it was to keep extra food stuffs (cool and keeps food fresher) and for containing animals, who lived below the family...dts/usa
Loved this episode. EXPECTATIONS. Your review was good. Who has noticed the text in Luke does not match the Isaiah of the KJV or any translation using the Masoretic text. But did match the Septuagint Isaiah or the Orthodox , which is from the Septuagint. So Christ was probably reading from an older Hebrew text akin to the source of the Septuagint that was possibly altered by the Masoretes to remove the line about restoring sight to the blind, the line missing in the KJV and other translations coming from the masoretic.
'I Am the law of Moses' could be interpreted as i Am the Way (as in the way to live). So maybe He didn't say it verbatim, but He did say it many times in other ways. I found it plausible.
Thanks for your reaction video, I find it helpful in my working through the scriptures after viewing an episode. You mention that a Jew was not healed of leprosy - Miriam?
The bridle represents control of the master over the animal. Could this mean that although Jesus set us free from the law, we are still to exercise self control, over the tongue especially? (Psalm 32)?
The bridle probably belonged to his father. The donkey was used to get to Bethlehem for Jesus birth. Could be by the time Joseph died, the family could no longer afford to keep a donkey, but they kept the bridle.
Oh my goodness you two with “toot your own horn!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I love Messianic Judaism (Jewish mom Catholic dad) and I do embrace both faiths. Where can I watch these videos?
Did they know there was a Universe back then...sorry! Lol ...I'm just asking..(Yes, he is the King of the Universe. Most importantly, I fell in love with God all over again... because of this show. Totally makes sense what is being projected in regards to the family. Love your follow-up!
For a little bit of context for those who don't know the significance of Rosh Hashanah, it was also known as the Day of Shouting/Blasting. There were 3 types of blast patterns of the shofar, and one of the blasts, Tekiah, meant "Coronate the King". Shevarim = repentance, Teru'ah = revival of the soul.
What did Sam mean by "Mary comes with a reputation"? Is Mary of Bethany the same woman who annoints Jesus' feet with the perfume?? There are so many Marys....
Historical fiction starts with the facts and adds plausible backstory. The facts are the bones of the story. The fiction fleshes it out. But the flesh never turns to bone. The flesh gives life and movement to the bones. . The only place where flesh and bone become fact is in the Bible-the inspired word of God. In historical fiction, we need to discern truth from fiction. Comparing to the Biblical account gives us that clarity, just as it did for The Chosen writers. But they are mere mortals, after all, even though highly inspired storytellers. They own their own fallibility! Well done!
The mainline church in Asia and Africa is still conservative right? In the Philippines many mainline church attendees I know still conservative. Just an observation
I'm thinking this is Nisan 1... the spring new year, the beginning of the passover season 14 days later., when all the men must be in Jerusalem for Rosh Hoshana.
Joseph and Jesus and Mary are in Nazareth right, that house, the bridle?... So could the reference of Joseph to this place being hard stone and rock could ALSO be this metaphor of how they would reject Jesus later ?...
It amazes me that these guys think that the cultural authenticity in this show translates into the character being the authentic Jesus. They couldn’t be further from the Truth. ❤️🩹
It is important to note punctuation came with bible not with Hebrew scrolls. One word before or after the coma makes a difference. -Bible Luke "23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." -Scrolls did not have numbers, periods or comas "and Jesus said unto him verily I say unto thee today shalt thou be with me in paradise" so they continued. If today appeared before coma it would read different.
I cannot help but notice how sad & scared Jesus is. Especially in the last clip you show here. HE knows, and his MOTHER knows...but the Disciple has no clue...."You'll know soon enough." Makes my soul hurt.
The term Rosh Hashanah does not appear in the Scriptures related to Yom T'ruah (Trumpets), but it only appears once, and that is regarding the first day of Nisan/ Aviv, 13 days prior to the 14th when Passover occurs, and the 15th when the first day of unleavened bread occurs. Yeshua didn't follow rabbinic traditions that were contrary to Torah and other portions of the Hebrew Scriptures, He exposed those traditions for what they were...and that is what I also seek to do...as should we all who follow His example.
You are right the biblical text does not say specifically say Rosh Hashanah in passages connected to Yom Teruah and that Aviv is a spring new year. There is also an agricultural new year (multiple calendrical new years were common in antiquity) that begins during the fall holy days connected to the land of Israel and the Jubilee and Shmitah.
@Grafted I am aware of 4 New Years in Judaism, yet only one is Biblical...3 are traditional. On several occasions, Yeshua rebuked the religious leaders for putting their traditions above the Scriptures. To call Trumpets Rosh Hashanah while saying little to anything about the real Rosh Hashanah is, to say the least, very sad. I am really puzzled why so many Messianics keep accepting and practicing talmudic traditions and making them equal to or greater than Torah itself. I was kicked out of one Messianic fellowship about 14 years ago for refusing to wear a yarmulka/kippa, even though I shared with them that Paul taught us that if a man prays or prophesies with his head covered, He dishonors his head, and I also shared with them that that particular tradition was adopted during their exiled in Babylon. In other words, this tradition goes against God's word in Jeremiah 10 and other places to not follow the worship traditions of the pagan nations they entered.
Interesting how this particular Jewish New Year foreshadows the second coming of Christ. But for now, he returns to Nazareth after being away for so long. :)
it is about humility...the Pharisees needed to recognize that they were not high and mighty--they followed the law, but they had become too proud, too proud to recognize that they needed god. above all, even the law of Torah...dts/usa
Something that’s confusing to me and maybe commenters could help me out. Wouldn’t all in Nazareth know the story of Mary and the virgin birth and the angelic visit at the well etc? So why are they so surprised when Jesus proclaims this?
Hi. I wondered about that also. What I came up with is....Mary and Joseph were already betrothed. That is like being married without the 'benefits'. Joseph married her right away once Gabriel informed him of the baby. Then off to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, then on to Egypt. The hometown bunch weren't watching. They just knew she and Joseph married and went to the census. So I think God spared them any social humiliation this way. Joseph was the key to that. By solemnizing the marriage Joseph was basically claiming the baby was his. Otherwise, the law would have taken her and had her stoned to death. God wasn't gonna let that happen. What do you think?
I think they are basically speculating that Lazarus was also born and raised in Nazareth, but he migrated to Bethany to become a wealthy man (at least, compared to Jesus and Nazareth).
As Jesus walked away from the cliff and passed through the crowd, didn't you notice how he looked up at the Father and grinned? Like saying: "How was that, Dad?"
I did not notice that at first. Thank you for pointing that out.
Or even to add to that “Father, I remained calm and collected.”
Or, "And so it begins; thank you Father"
Oh i noticed it.even watched that part over and over again.i just love to see Jesus' victory over these hypocrites
Yeah, thought that was very cool touch
I loved seeing Joseph get some love this episode. He gets forgotten way too often despite the fact he was chosen too.

Raising and caring for the very being that would grow to bring salvation to the whole entire world is in my opinion one of the greatest blessings you can ever be apart of. I'm sure Joseph wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
@jjonlaw8140 This is true, and thankfully, none of it requires him to be unable to consumate his marriage with his beloved after the fact.

Me too❤
The contrast between how the children received this very verse in 1.3 and the adults in this episode is mind-blowing.
Jesus said in 1.3 that He wished that the adults would have the understanding that the children had but He didn’t think they would.
Wow, I did not notice that, thanks for pointing it out! That is truly powerful.
I love several things specifically in this episode; when Jesus walked through the crowd and looked up to Heaven and smiled and secondly, I am so thankful

I've been waiting for this!
Powerful, awesome moment in my opinion. He very well may have said that. Jesus, as fulfillment of the OT (ie, Isaiah) - I AM THE LAW OF MOSES - sounds so much more powerful. LOVED IT!!
Law off Moses = Torah.
Torah = Word off God.
John 1.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jesus is the Word off God and as such is the Law of Moses (which is truly God's Law).
Thank you both, for your incredible insights as well as the humor with which you share them. It's so wonderful to appreciate the old testament references, their meanings, and also context using the Hebrew shades of meaning. Also, I think at the dinner table they all would have prayed to the Father. ;) ;)
Thank you for sharing! I learn so much from you all!
there is a vlog, with a million viewers, in Azerbaijan, with a simple rural family, who is building a new home...in one of the latest episodes, they have workers that come to build a kitchen for their home, and those workers are both carpenters and stone masons, because a lot of the kitchen is a great hearth, and you can really see how the two were one and the same, they cannot be separated from each other in an ancient culture...dts/usa
This is excellent teaching of lessons to understand how our lived tendency swift to wrong way but know if you are saved but to know you will feel the spirit of different ways of wrong and right.
It’s a challenge when you in sinful world while you are with Jesus spiritual experience. Stay with Him . Amen
My favorite part of the episode is the synagogue and mountain stuff. Literally, my heart stopped beating and was beating super fast all at the same time in the synagogue scenes. And when Yeshua left the mountain I literally screamed and started clapping. And I NEVER do that lol.
Also random, but if y'all do see this, what translation of the Bible do y'all use? I'm reading through the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB), which I love. but I'm curious as to which translation/Bible y'all use.
They had mentioned Tree of Life Bible before so I guess it's what they use.
Scholarly translations are best. Remember the KJV only printed what King James wanted. He had them delete a bunch of text notes before approval. The NASB 1995 is good, a word for word translation. The ESV is used widely in churches. There are some great videos on here educating about the translations. The phrase for phrase translations are the NLT, the BBE, the more modern ones as well. I read them all.
Just seeing this. Watching the scene between Joseph and young Jesus I thought about the bridle and how it was used to help bring the people out of bondage in Israel. If it is used for the donkey entering Jerusalem, then it will once again be used to ultimately bring people out of bondage.
8:42 I had to laugh at how you accidentally combined Nazareth and Lazarus and said "Nazarus." 😂 I do that with stuff all the time
Thank you all for your wonderful analysis. I loved this episode it is excellent picture of the Jewish culture.
The Chosen is the most Jewish and the most Christian TV show ever.
It’s interesting how chosen wrote this scene. When reading this passage in scripture, I imagine Jesus turning into spirit form and his body literally walking through them without them noticing.
Ive watched the Chosen with Isaiah Saldivar, Leonardo Torres, and now you guys... I really learn alot with you two Sam & Tom. I am really having an amazing time wstching the chosen with y'all while Im waiting for season 4. I would like to know if you have a church and where. Im in Kearney so thats not to far from Kansas. I would love to get info about service.
Sam and Dr. Tom are both elders at Kingdom Living Messianic Congregation. You can find us at klkc.org and on TH-cam @KingdomLivingKC
I think of Yeshua being the ultimate stone mason who alone is able to change man's hearts of stone to hearts of flesh.
Is there some thing that I could purchase that would give me all the holidays and their meanings
The Chosen has more emotional ups and downs than a sine wave.....which could probably be graphed on Dr. Tom's shirt. 😂 Love the commentary guys!
Out of pure curiosity to learn, I found it interesting that Jesus taught the Our Father prayer that we know of today, but throughout the film He obviously uses other prayer on 0:15 more frequently. I don't know, any thoughts?
Did you see the smirk on his face? It's as he was looking at Dennis as he cleared the crowd.
13:56 That was pretty smooth 🧐😮
I think God wanted u to find that page in the Bible 😅
Peace be with you too Jonathan.
Episode 4 is a good episode!
Jesus being the law can also be interpreted in context of a messianic passage in Isaiah 2:3-4 where the messiah is identified as "the law":
"and many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth *the law* ,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
*He* shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore."
So if Jesus is the messiah, then he is absolutely right to call himself "the law".
Mary's home in Nazareth backed up to a cave which was part of the home...it was to keep extra food stuffs (cool and keeps food fresher) and for containing animals, who lived below the family...dts/usa
Thank you. Excellent in sites.
Loved this episode. EXPECTATIONS. Your review was good. Who has noticed the text in Luke does not match the Isaiah of the KJV or any translation using the Masoretic text. But did match the Septuagint Isaiah or the Orthodox , which is from the Septuagint. So Christ was probably reading from an older Hebrew text akin to the source of the Septuagint that was possibly altered by the Masoretes to remove the line about restoring sight to the blind, the line missing in the KJV and other translations coming from the masoretic.
When did the new year become Rosh Hashana instead of Nissan 1?
'I Am the law of Moses' could be interpreted as i Am the Way (as in the way to live). So maybe He didn't say it verbatim, but He did say it many times in other ways. I found it plausible.
Sure love you guys.
Thanks for your reaction video, I find it helpful in my working through the scriptures after viewing an episode. You mention that a Jew was not healed of leprosy - Miriam?
Okay... thanks for doing this guys - I'm enjoying your reactions. But this playlist is in reverse order. Any chance you could fix this at some point?
The bridle represents control of the master over the animal. Could this mean that although Jesus set us free from the law, we are still to exercise self control, over the tongue especially? (Psalm 32)?
you dudes are nerds. Love this channel
The bridle probably belonged to his father. The donkey was used to get to Bethlehem for Jesus birth. Could be by the time Joseph died, the family could no longer afford to keep a donkey, but they kept the bridle.
That bread they eat... is what is called Irish soda bread in the Catholic Church... looks just like it and it has raisins.
Oh my goodness you two with “toot your own horn!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I love Messianic Judaism (Jewish mom Catholic dad) and I do embrace both faiths. Where can I watch these videos?
Did they know there was a Universe back then...sorry! Lol ...I'm just asking..(Yes, he is the King of the Universe. Most importantly, I fell in love with God all over again... because of this show. Totally makes sense what is being projected in regards to the family. Love your follow-up!
For a little bit of context for those who don't know the significance of Rosh Hashanah, it was also known as the Day of Shouting/Blasting. There were 3 types of blast patterns of the shofar, and one of the blasts, Tekiah, meant "Coronate the King". Shevarim = repentance, Teru'ah = revival of the soul.
What did Sam mean by "Mary comes with a reputation"? Is Mary of Bethany the same woman who annoints Jesus' feet with the perfume?? There are so many Marys....
Was the seat that Jesus was sitting on in the synagogue referred to as The Seat of Moses?
Yes.
They were staring at the face of God in the flesh but did not recognized him as such!
Love that Abel had his head down.
The opening scene shows the toddlers growing up ❤️
Fiction, not fact. We can’t confuse the two.
Historical fiction starts with the facts and adds plausible backstory. The facts are the bones of the story. The fiction fleshes it out. But the flesh never turns to bone. The flesh gives life and movement to the bones. . The only place where flesh and bone become fact is in the Bible-the inspired word of God. In historical fiction, we need to discern truth from fiction. Comparing to the Biblical account gives us that clarity, just as it did for The Chosen writers. But they are mere mortals, after all, even though highly inspired storytellers. They own their own fallibility! Well done!
yes , i think the bridle is for the entry to Jerusalem
Me too. Bittersweet.
The mainline church in Asia and Africa is still conservative right? In the Philippines many mainline church attendees I know still conservative. Just an observation
I'm thinking this is Nisan 1... the spring new year, the beginning of the passover season 14 days later., when all the men must be in Jerusalem for Rosh Hoshana.
Joseph and Jesus and Mary are in Nazareth right, that house, the bridle?... So could the reference of Joseph to this place being hard stone and rock could ALSO be this metaphor of how they would reject Jesus later ?...
It amazes me that these guys think that the cultural authenticity in this show translates into the character being the authentic Jesus.
They couldn’t be further from the Truth. ❤️🩹
Amen 🙏🏾 ❤❤
It is important to note punctuation came with bible not with Hebrew scrolls. One word before or after the coma makes a difference.
-Bible Luke "23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
-Scrolls did not have numbers, periods or comas "and Jesus said unto him verily I say unto thee today shalt thou be with me in paradise" so they continued. If today appeared before coma it would read different.
I cannot help but notice how sad & scared Jesus is. Especially in the last clip you show here. HE knows, and his MOTHER knows...but the Disciple has no clue...."You'll know soon enough." Makes my soul hurt.
The term Rosh Hashanah does not appear in the Scriptures related to Yom T'ruah (Trumpets), but it only appears once, and that is regarding the first day of Nisan/ Aviv, 13 days prior to the 14th when Passover occurs, and the 15th when the first day of unleavened bread occurs. Yeshua didn't follow rabbinic traditions that were contrary to Torah and other portions of the Hebrew Scriptures, He exposed those traditions for what they were...and that is what I also seek to do...as should we all who follow His example.
You are right the biblical text does not say specifically say Rosh Hashanah in passages connected to Yom Teruah and that Aviv is a spring new year. There is also an agricultural new year (multiple calendrical new years were common in antiquity) that begins during the fall holy days connected to the land of Israel and the Jubilee and Shmitah.
@Grafted I am aware of 4 New Years in Judaism, yet only one is Biblical...3 are traditional. On several occasions, Yeshua rebuked the religious leaders for putting their traditions above the Scriptures. To call Trumpets Rosh Hashanah while saying little to anything about the real Rosh Hashanah is, to say the least, very sad. I am really puzzled why so many Messianics keep accepting and practicing talmudic traditions and making them equal to or greater than Torah itself. I was kicked out of one Messianic fellowship about 14 years ago for refusing to wear a yarmulka/kippa, even though I shared with them that Paul taught us that if a man prays or prophesies with his head covered, He dishonors his head, and I also shared with them that that particular tradition was adopted during their exiled in Babylon. In other words, this tradition goes against God's word in Jeremiah 10 and other places to not follow the worship traditions of the pagan nations they entered.
Interesting how this particular Jewish New Year foreshadows the second coming of Christ. But for now, he returns to Nazareth after being away for so long. :)
But walking through that crowd also looked like a red Sea moment too
it is about humility...the Pharisees needed to recognize that they were not high and mighty--they followed the law, but they had become too proud, too proud to recognize that they needed god. above all, even the law of Torah...dts/usa
Why has Mary never spoken about the conception?
Something that’s confusing to me and maybe commenters could help me out. Wouldn’t all in Nazareth know the story of Mary and the virgin birth and the angelic visit at the well etc? So why are they so surprised when Jesus proclaims this?
Hi. I wondered about that also. What I came up with is....Mary and Joseph were already betrothed. That is like being married without the 'benefits'.
Joseph married her right away once Gabriel informed him of the baby. Then off to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, then on to Egypt. The hometown bunch weren't watching. They just knew she and Joseph married and went to the census. So I think God spared them any social humiliation this way. Joseph was the key to that. By solemnizing the marriage Joseph was basically claiming the baby was his. Otherwise, the law would have taken her and had her stoned to death. God wasn't gonna let that happen. What do you think?
@@drose1526 i think you may be right. You make some good points here! Thanks.
Did Jesus have brothers?
Brothers and sisters. Matt 13:55-56, Mark 6:3.
He is the "Logos". And the Word was and IS God!
I think they are basically speculating that Lazarus was also born and raised in Nazareth, but he migrated to Bethany to become a wealthy man (at least, compared to Jesus and Nazareth).
"Tekton" in Greek; the root of our term, "tectonic plates", the giant rock slabs that shift during earthquakes.
