Thank you. I needed to hear this, especially life before-after & doing the same things.. not fully surrendered
Thank you all for making this a story for all of us to see and hear. I see the light and hear the word of the spirit in me to serve the Lord Jesus.
Thank you
God Bless you!
Agree
The guy who played Matthew deserves an Oscar. He’s brilliant!
Agreed!
I agree but the hypocrisy in the Oscar is on its highest level.
The actor won't even be considered for an award.
He is my favorite disciple. I will read his gospel 1st
Omg Yes.... I loved Matthew in the series
I could not agree more!
Paras Patel's portrail of Mathew is unbelievably brilliant. What an actor. Definitely one of my favorites. Cannot get enough of this show. I keep watching it over again. ❤
😊
Yes, there's no way to ever get bored of any one episode.
By far, one of my favorite characters. His performance moved me so much!
This show has brought me to reading the Bible. So much easier for me to read when I can put a face to the names. Thank You!!
I agree it's easier to understand then read a book. I read the Bible something chapters still don't understand in the bible, but videos help me.
You know the Chosen doesn't fully go off the bible right?@@lisaragle2956
Frrr
Same ! Thank you
As a previous teacher of gifted students, I love it that Matthew is portrayed as highly intelligent but somewhere on the autism spectrum--as a significant percentage of gifted people are. How beautiful that Jesus used Matthew's gifts, both accepting him and exalting his God-given abilities!
This is just one more example of, at best, literary license. It is simply making things up. We are told to not add to scripture. Remember this is a TV show. Most of which is writers fantasies. Christians should not be endorsing The Chosen.
I wouldn't say autistic, more socially awkward and misfit autism is a modern day illness lol
I like that he is portrayed as autistic because of how the church has treated so many on the autism spectrum
So do I. And I think he really could have been: I read that the way the Gospel of Matthew is written, he is known as "meticulus Matthew." I wonder if this was part of the reason The chosen portrayed him this way? I actually have Asperger's Syndrome myself, so it is great to see him portrayed this way!🥰
making assumptions that are not written and they have no right to do that. The Bible is not for entertainment to re write and confuse people as to what is written and what isn’t. People obviously do not take Gods Word seriously.
My wife and I are mass attending Catholics and watched this from the beginning. Matthew was my wife's Disciple, even before watching the Chosen. She has since passed and we didn't get to watch it again together. But now, she is talking to Matthew in person, wow! Forgive me for my sins dear Lord and grant me the gift to see my wife again and meet Matthew in Heaven! Amen!
My condolences
She will. She was a believer and he along with the saints will comfort her until you can join her in heaven.😇❤️✝️
I am so sorry for your loss. It is so wonderful that you can see that her eternal life is so full now. One day you will be reunited. God Bless
Amen! Brother. Amen!
God Bless you both.
I brought atheists to watch The Chosen and they love it. Now I know I’ve planted a seed in them. The seed to salvation and knowing who Jesus was. Great stuff Brandon. I adore Matthew‼️
Wow. That’s incredible. I pray that those seeds will grow!
Listen to Neville Goddard
Esoteric Learning of the bible
*Great for atheist*
@Kevin Belgrove looks like you can see all of Israel from your palace golden throne high in the sky
God told Moses
Who shall I say who you are
....I AM that I AM
That's God's name as well as Jesus Christ
*God knows our heart and will respond to his children*
You did! I will add to my prayers, that all of the seeds ever planted, will continue to grow, be lush, and fruitful.
🙆🏻♀️✝PRAISE the LORD🙏🙆🏻♀️
I watched the first few episodes today, and I'm on the fourth episode. Let me be honest here, for the first time in a very very long time, it made me cry, actual tears pouring down my face, and I found myself praying and saying how much we need this right now! It was the most heart felt prayer I've said in years, I said many prayers in pain, or thankfulness, but it was hope that broke my heart, and knowing it can only come from Jesus!
This is what this series has done to many, many people…. It is responsible for bringing so many people back to Jesus and the writings that described His teachings. Welcome to The Chosen Army!
True so very true
Incredible! Amen thank you soo much for sharing!
It affected me the same way 😭. Thank You Yeshua/Jesus!💖🙌💓
The same thing happened to me. I really did not expect to be so captivated by it and moved by every episode. Hard to admit it but I've seriously cried multiple times every episode.......and I never cry over tv or movies. It's a beautiful representation of the bible.
Mathew in The Chosen was played by an excellent brilliant actor. He was amazing!!!
Matthew is my favorite disciple. I love the way Matthew is portrayed in the chosen. It makes me love him even more. I love reading his gospel. You can feel the love through his words over 2000 years ago.!
A❤️ M❤️ E❤️ N❤️
@@petrafischer5199 Awomen
Thank God for the anointed interpretation of reality of human life in those times.
@@matimus100 yes she is a woman. Good job
@@matimus100blasphemous:/
I keep watching that scene at the exit door where Jesus turns around and throws his glance at Matthew. It is such an incredibly powerful glance. Makes me shiver. It’s like Jesus was looking straight into the bottom of Matthew’s soul. Amazing.
I know it my favorite part too❤️...one of many.
Me too.
This is exactly what I feel
I did the same thing. There was no dialogue and it was so powerful.
I love how Simon asks Jesus do you know him? And Jesus says, yes I do. Matthews face changes-- he instantly grabs his book and leaves with hope.
The character of Matthew in this show is a favorite. I am a retired Special Ed teacher. Thank you for the exchange between Quintus & Matthew where Matthew says something like "I am sane." Quintus responds, "Yes. But it's a very different kind of sane." I find people with Autism to be honest and transparent. Thank you for this accurate portrayal of some of my dearest friends.
@@RA82828 i am a film student and although the chosen is a good series, it is not accurate to the original texts. So I cannot continue to watch, although the first season was captivating I learn more from actually reading the bible. Because I know it's not wrong. As I said, I am a film student. You need to understand how easy it is for people to trick you even with something as simple as where characters stand in relation to each other. For example in the scene of the fish being pulled from the right side, how it played out in the bible was very specific even down to the number of fish. And I believe Matthew wasn't even there at the time unlike how it showed in the chosen. And you might say, why do you choose not to watch this when there is much more nasty content out there than this show? Yes, I do not watch ANY modern media. Only historical documentaries and archival videos of real events, with religious videos like this online.
@@RA82828 i agree that this show has led people to true faith in christ but you're right assuming im a schizo because i hate its inaccuracies, god bless regardless
@@joshhickson7551 nobody hates you, but it does make you sound like a pharisee... Their goal is to bring THE CHOSEN, the disciples, the people of the biblical times...Jesus and those who received healing and the miracles...TO LIFE! And draw people to get into The Word. It is NOT the Bible. It is a SHOW to get people excited about Jesus...it humanizes people that lived so long ago it is difficult to connect with them. Consider it is not meant to REPLACE the Bible. It IS meant to excite people so they open their Bibles and get into the REAL WORD. Isn't THAT a good thing? If YOU cannot watch it, then don't. But please don't post negative comments here that may discourage someone who is considering watching it. People ARE recommitting themselves and others are being saved!
@@joshhickson7551 Dallas Jenkins (Director and producer of the Chosen) has said that he's not trying to be a replacement for scripture, and that the Chosen is using the likeness of these historical people to bring people closer to God, and he's said before "It's not your job to feed the 5,000, only to provide the loaves and fish."
@@joshhickson7551 In the beginning of the series it says it is based on a true story but some things as been added. just like any based on a true story movie. Yes I read my Bible and see some of the things are not like the Bible but it gives us a sense of the word and maybe what it was really like. Like Mary so many years they called this woman a prostitute, which she wasn't. I was just happy to see in the Chosen that she was close to Jesus, a lot of people turn a blind eye to that. There are even studies that say that she gave money to Jesus in order for him to teach. She had a fishing business and gave her earnings to Jesus. So don't stop watching because it's not 100%, just enjoy the truth of which it was based.
Like many others, my favorite scene concerns the call of Matthew. Matthew was looking for Jesus when Jesus was at the house of Zebedee and Salome. As Jesus moved away from the confrontation with the Pharisees, he turned and locked eyes with Matthew. In the following episode, we have the scene of Jesus passing by the tax collector's booth occupied by Matthew. Then we witness the second 'look' that Jesus gave Matthew. But for me the most moving moment in the whole episode, is when Matthew asks: Who? Me? And Jesus answers "Yes, you." It shows us how deeply Jesus knows each of us, how lovingly and persistently He calls us, and how patiently he guides us to follow Him and conform ourselves to His image.
I myself love the actor who portrays Matthew. The Chosen is so needed now at this confusing and evil time in our world. Praise God
Music over the centuries has the words if only we could hear them... Like these;
"Jesus calls me o'er the tumult of my life's tempestuous seas.
Day-by-day his sweet voice soundeths, saying "Christian, follow me."
Amen 🙏🏽 thank you soo much for sharing this with us!!
@@marilynwilliams2245 praise Adonai 💕❤️
Amen, Lawrence. AMEN! Post of posts. Eight months worth!!!
I like the look on Mathew, actor Paras Patel's face. When he was chosen by Jesus I could see the light in his face, and how quickly he left everything to follow Jesus, that takes bravery. He had wealth, but money doesn't buy happiness.
so true and so brave of him.
I will leave everything and follow my Jesus my daddy💜💙❤️💖
Jesus knows better the timing of his call for everyone. He called Mathew when he was, probably, in his lowest emotional state, after the rejection of his own mother out of shame and disappointment upon her son. But then Jesus called him and made him feel loved and accepted. How could he say no to this call?
@@amybynum8962 We will have to; if not now when?
Nice fairytale.
Am an addict i just relapsed this week,and i was in a car when i viewed this episode and when he healed the lepar And when he called Matthew. Tears just kept falling out my eyes. Makes me feel that anyone can change. And all i have to do i just follow him. I wrote just after i relapsed 10min ago with tears in my eyes
I believe that there is a scripture that says,
the righteous man falls yet rises again.
I understand that this does not mean you are only allowed 7 falls but that God helps you to rise again as you turn to him.
Stay strong!
We are all dealing with making the right choices in every area.
Breathe in the Holy Spirit.
Do the nutritional things as best you can.
Read & listen to the Bible every day.
Weeping may last for the night but joy comes in the morning.
You can do it. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
May God permanently heal your addition. Prayers going up for your recovery 🙏🙏
If Matthew was truly the only literate disciple on a higher level it is likely his account is the most accurate scripture in the Bible. That doesn’t make it the most important part of the Bible but historically the most credible. A snapshot in time which through Matthew in which God can show us His truth and love for the world by the way of Jesus.🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
Although not an original apostle, it is said that Luke was a physician.
Before following Jesus and after, my life and mind are quite different. I am at peace so much more these days and I am thankful for that. I deeply relate to Matthew- he was an outcast in some way…
I'll love the way the actor is playing Matthew.
He's brought a new aspect to our understanding of Matthew's character!
Me too. I love Matthew's character. He is a real person just like all the rest. That's what I love about this movie. Everyone has come to life for me.
Having Matthew on a “different spectrum “ is wonderfully done . Those in the past were Exactly like those living now …facing the same problems physically and economically and emotionally. Seeing Matthew with his struggles gives him a humanity rarely seen in programs about the Bible .
Me too!🙏💕🙏
Me too
I love watching the scene of Jesus calling Mathew to follow him, while he sits on tax booth.. ❤️
I love how God uses His Word to reach me even 2000 plus years later. Jesus us no respecter of person. To God be the glory
When Jesus called him Matthew was like, eff this job 😎 jk. But seriously, it is a really beautiful scene 😭 ❤️ the desperation on his face is so beautiful and so appropriate 🙌
I AM following the Master alongside those who are saved and those who will want to be saved.
Me too!
I love it too! Watch this scene over and over and over and over again and again and again ....... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love Matthew and the actor who plays him is absolutely wonderful. His actions alone.
I had never noticed the "son of Alpheus" for James and Matthew, as well as the fact that Matthew was the only disciple to write the accounts down in Hebrew. He was restored to his Jewishness even if he was disowned by his family. and this tax collector actually was key in the salvation of so many Jews! Brings tears to my eyes.
Loved that the show reconciled the family of Matthew.
I just noticed it last week when reading the gospel Mark.
Many Jews believe only Jesus knew Hebrew, not the disciples.
Imagine only 1% income tax.
The chosen is a wonderful series. Everyone needs to see it.
Brandon, thank you for sharing this background of Matthew. It really spoke to me as I had become the only born again Christian to leave my family. I know how it felt to be an outcast. Yet God used me to lead my siblings to Jesus.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but excited to hear how God used you to reach your siblings! God bless.
I think he longed to return to God and his God fearing family to belong. God constructed our minds to crave Him. Though we numb it, ignore it, or try to fulfill it with greed food or drugs only he can satisfy.
I been an outcast my whole life. My gifts I wasborn with, how anyone trying to harm me can't. It's like I am in a bubble and God makes it so back fire instantly onto them. I never fit in really with my peers. So I keep going through life trying to fit in. But God told me, I don't have to fit in to do my assignment. God bless you.
Hi Brandon I will need to find out where you got the information regarding Matthew Can you respond as soon as you can I really appreciate it thank you so much
@@kolielynn4144 you are so right.
Thank to all the actors and actresses of the series The Chosen.
Also to all behind the cameras.
This a very inspiring show.
Maayong hapon sa inyong lahat maraming maraming maraming salamat Po God bless
My dear brother in Christ-
Years ago in the solitude of my apartment, reading the gospel of Matthew (my favorite) I converted to the Lord. Today I thank God for your ministry that I hear every day as part of my daily devotional. I pray that God bless you and takes care of you. Thanks for talk about Matthew this time.
Praise God for that moment you gave your life to Christ! I’m so glad God is working through this channel to bless you. 🙂
This was a joy to find your site! I feel so enlightened to know these details of Matthew’s life. I found the church after seeking for the straight and narrow path to God. I love everything about the Savior and Heavenly Father’s teachings. All I desire is to truly live the gospel and share with others this truth! Thank you again and the opportunity to share this with others!
💜💜💜 keep going! Following the Lord is AWESOME
This show has made such a difference in the way that I know Jesus and have a better understanding of the men and women that literally gave EVERYTHING. It touched my soul.
Matthew you pull at my heart. Your an amazing actor. Thank you.
Paras Patel is so brilliant in these series. He is superb in his portrayal of Matthew. As I listen to your commentary, Brandon I am going to read Matthew's Gospel although I read it many times. But this time, I will keep the 7 facts in mind. Patel's display of Matthew is one of my favorites in the series.
Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:9-13
amen amen amen praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
The show the acting, the way the story is being told is truly a historic phenomenon,i just got home from the theater after watching the last 2 I was moved 😢this show is a true masterpiece a must watch 🙏
God is still changing people
I loved his portrayal. He seemed to be in the spectrum with his mannerisms. Great acting.
Matthew has become my GREATEST Gospel to read. I am 2 months into it. Brilliant.
Every actor and actress on this show are awesome, how could JR not get one for his Jesus portrayal. The Chosen itself should be up for best picture or series. I’m on my third time rewatching it
The moment I watched Matthew on the Chosen show, I knew I had to watch the whole series.... He is so unique and realistic I loved him. Then as the story developed with other characters OMGOSH wonderful. Love the human side of each disciple, that's right, just like You and Me. This is why this show is unique. It reaches deep inside everyone; gets your attention then the WORD does what it was meant to do: SPEAK TO YOU! Amen.
I absolutely adore the Matthew! The actor playing Matthew brought his character to life for me, Thank you ❤
I am Murelda Bridge and so happy to watch The Chosen. Jesus is my all and I have chosen to follow Him wherever He leads me. Watching the chosen brings me tears of joy and sadness for all Jesus did to save us. I can't wait to watch more.
Mathew is my favourite in the chosen.
God bless the entire team from volunteers, technicians,background crew who are the unknown heroes and backbone of the chosen. God Bless you all.
whoah, gives the Parable of the wayward Son something even MORE deeply meaningful and the regular reminders to "love your brother" etc
Hi Kri I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Oh Lord have mercy, my spirit is willing but my flesh too often gets in the way. His grace is so amazing and wonderful. An eternity will not be long enough time to thank you!!
Anyone who has watched the chosen would love Mathew so greatly cus he acted his part so well. And he is so lovable and unique. The part where Jesus called him, i cried cus he actually needed that love and he never believed that an "outcast" like him would be called by the Messiah. For that, he gave up fame, money, position and everything....
i just finished season 1 and am addicted to the series, the guy who plays Matthew is an excellent actor...
You just relieved me of all my past sins. I loved this about Matthew. Thank you.
That’s so wonderful that you were able to experience God’s grace through this. Praise God!
One of the great thing of the Chosen is that it aligns with the Torah very well until now on season 2. I pray it continues this way and that YAH opens the eyes of the viewers to realize that HIS TORAH still for today❤
Yes, agree. I LOVE it when I saw Jeshua wearing tzitzits! Awesome!
I like the way Jesus makes a point of what Torah was and the stories that were left out. As a Gentile I don’t know much about Talmud, but it seems the Pharisees do in the Chosen. I like the way Jesus points out what IS in Torah and I get the hint that He isn’t thrilled with religious laws that aren’t God given. Am I correct?
@@dottie8249 I think you are! I agree completely with you. HE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT "RELIGION" HE had to come in the flesh to purchase us back because we couldn't possibly pay that debt! So HE WAS GOING TO GET THE WORD OUT IN HIS TEACHING BEFORE HIS TIME! They were so "religious" they couldn't recognize THEIR OWN GOD, AND HATED HIM! The enemy has and still does use RELIGION to do his bidding, to make the religious leaders at the time ask his questions of OUR LORD! As the great teacher and prophet who taught me that it was CERTAINLY a revaluation to me, can you imagine being remembered for that!! God Bless you all 🙏❣
🙂 Yahushua is the Torah made flesh! John 1:1
Apart from Jesus being my first love, I really have a soft spot for disciple is Matthew🥰
I'm listening while on patrol in a warehouse and I can't help but tear up over the revelation of these things about Matthew. Thank you, and God bless you for this...❤
Get back to work, slacker.
Matthew, God’s gift 🎁!
Matthew has an incredible, inspiring story.
To be seen to be truly seen. In the chosen that’s what stood out to me. That Matthew wanted to be seen. He wanted to be understood and wanted to feel included. Reminds me of how we shun people that don’t believe like us and exclude them. Jesus included. Jesus sees us and sees what we could be. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏼🙌🏽♥️
Man, I don't know you or your story but I find your dissertations as thought provoking and compelling. Please, may god bless you for your help and guidance to those lost or in need.
Thank you!
I second your words here 10k%.
THANQ.
These kind of personality profiles need to be taught before the Gospel of Matthew is studied from and preached out of.
I still think Daniel is ultimately my favorite but Matthew is right up there, even more so because the actor portraying him was just astounding and mesmerizing! They all were in The Chosen!
THANK YOU JESUS 😊💓☺💗
You will see them both again! No worries! God bless you!
Thank you for the insight on Matthew. Most importantly that no one is far from Grace, forgiveness and redemption.
Yes! No one (!!) is far from Grace. Halleluja! ❤️
You Brandon are being used mightily by God our Hevenly father. Thank you for being so obedient and providing us with such insight to the scriptures. God Bless you.
Praise the Lord ! 👏🙏
Amen & Amen 🙏👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you ! I pray for the worlds troubles to be healed.
Love Matthew
I love how you don’t just put the facts out there, but how you also display them in a way that we can see the impact this has for our own lives 🙌
The way Matthew is portrayed is excellent
He completely stole my heart
Excellent!! When we are willing to give up everything then be are his follower. Surrender, change, conversion!
I love Matthew and your video encourages me to further research the Jewish history. The Chosen has given me a glimpse of how the gospels and the life of Jesus and His disciples were laid out. So personal and it's how I want to think it was. Thank you for this post, I love how you described Matthew, and what it means to leave everything behind and follow Jesus.
You are so right I cannot get enough of this series. I probably watched it 100 times and I always learn something new when I do . can’t wait for the new ones to go out and yes, Matthew was brilliant but so was Jonathan Roumie and Isaac who played Peter, they are all outstanding and excellent and wonderful!
I ❤ this movie. God bless the writer and all the cast. God bless 🙏
I started first to love Simon as my favourite then Matthew came to the scene, he was always looking like rejected and was very meek, indeed this series melted my face on several occasions, it was touching, big ups guys, God bless you all
I love this portraval of Matthew, as someone who is non-nerotypical.
This is absolutely BRILLIANT!!! I never stopped to think beyond reading the words in his gospel, and oh, how we need to think and dig deeper. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video; God bless you, Sir!
FATHER JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU AND LET FATHER JESUS CHRIST PULL YOU ZEALOUSLY OUT OF ALL HARMS WAY!!!!!
LET FATHER JESUS CHRIST AMEN BLESSED GOD TRULY WIN AS HE WILLETH!
I absolutely love the way you explain everything it as touched my heart in miracles ways
It’s even better then the way the church explains love it thank you very much my dear brother
I was Muslim that baptized in Christianity
And very proud to Christena
Praise God! ❤️
Very glad you are part of our family!
The Book of Matthew is one I am starting to hear every night ...
Shabbath Shalom qodesh mishpacha!! All esteem to Abba YAHWEH b'YAHUSHUA ha'Maschaich!! HalleluYAH!! Amein!!
Matthew does a wonderful portrayal of one of my lovely grand-sons who has autism. I have another grand-son who is Downs Syndrome. I am Dyslexic. I am glad the Disciples are not perfect, because how many people are? 🙃😊
Matthew and Simon are my fav in the chosen..Loved the way Jesus choose who to follow him.Love the way the Chosen is bringing the bible to life...Amazing..
Thank you for your prayer!🙏🌹
I feel that Jesus will be so proud of you for this expository...this is the Gospel! God bless you heart Brandon.
Before my son was born I spent alot time thinking about what to name him after looking through the Bible and researching the meaning of names I settled on Matthew as he would be my gift of God. God called my gift home in 2007 after a accident where he and a friend were killed. I struggled with that for a long time spiritually. Why would God give me such a gift and then take it back? My faith wavered and I was a bitter man. Recently I saw the episode of the Chosen about Matthew and it moved me to tears. It touched me so deeply. It has helped me to remember that God gave me such a precious gift in my son and I am so thankful for that gift even if it was for a short 24 years. One day I will see my Matthew again and I will hug him so long and hard. God is great and my spirit has been redeemed.
When watching the Chosen, I related to Matthew and I'm really fond of his character. Now listening to this indepth analysis makes me appreciate him more.
THANK YOU! I wish I could do multiple thumbs up.
This is the wonderful, amazing, and wonderful movie about my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank You. I am the professional Christian musician. I am on the mission to translate the Holy Bible into music with my original classical music. Praise the Lord!
The Chosen is such a fantastic series! It clarifies so many questions and helps me to see these disciples are real people with real feelings and problems. What Matthew had to deal with and go through is so raw in this series. It also is a mirror for us today and the fortunes we aspire to acquire and with Gods patients and mercy our thoughts are challenged and in many cases changed on different levels.
Brandon, you are a brother in Christ. SUCH a valuable lesson, and your encouraging words struck me like a lightning bolt in my own life. THANK YOU for sharing this knowledge, and for taking a stand for us. God bless you!
Always wanted to learn more about Jewish history and the people’s that inspired the early apostles. Thanks so much
Thank you for your prayer!
Praise Jehovah God and Jesus Christ Amen Halaluah
Hallelujah 😊
Yes, Matthew did write his gospel originally in Hebrew/Aramaic. It was later translated into Greek. Mark, Luke and John, etc….were written in Greek. This is important to understand because everything written and by whom it was written has a purpose, a reason. God is AWESOME👊🏻❤️. Keep up the great videos
Intriguing facts pulled together
I like how the Chosen makes him look autistic and so incredibly intelligent-things to muse on!
you are so sincere, God bless you
This speaker is extremely informative. Perhaps a review of all twelve in this manner would be popular among us who are thirsty for truth .
Matthew is my favorite. 👏👏👏
Finally someone that speak with knowledge
I Love how you explain everything. I’ve been reading the Bible for years but I’m learning more because you give so much historical information and it all makes so much sense. Thank you!
Brandon I wanna thank you for these videos I just recently discovered your channel and I’ve been saved since I was 16 and I’m in my mid forties now and I’ve walked and stumbled ( more Stumbled ) and of late being busy with life I’ve forgotten my charge I swore to Jesus so long ago and I’m trying to get more educated and spirituals filled to accomplish my duty to Christ to spread his word first and foremost in my household and I’ve recently discovered “ the Chosen “ and I’m watching it with my teenagers and your videos and your spiritual guidance has been abundantly helpful , and I’m learning a lot and sharing your videos with my children ( as well as Grace Digital Network, another gem ) and I just wanted to say thanks I can see Christ working through you and you finding a platform that can reach millions . Basically keep up the good work , I’m sure the Lord is very proud
Mathew is my favorite character in the series
I didn’t understand why they had Matthew so skiddish… but after seeing your insight of Matthew… I understand it now… thank you for your insights to the Chosen project… your a blessing 🤗❤️🤗
I was wondering about that. Why was Mathew jumpy or sometimes acted like he was slow.
I watched a video of the young man that plays Mathew in the movie. He said, he want him to seem autistic. He was good with numbers. I don't remember everything else he said, but I was thinking the whole time I was watching the movie that he seemed autistic. I have a grandson who has autism. I knew that's what he was doing when he couldn't stand for his clothes to be dirty and the way he couldn't relate with other people as well. Now whether or not Mathew was really autistic like that in real life I don't know. 🤔
❤ my favorite scripture was and still is Matthew 6.33 Thank you Dallas Jenkins for giving us the lives of the disciples ❤
Thanks for teaching me things I did not about MATHEW
For a long time I kept thinking that Matthew having the ability of knowing several languages that he had to write his Gospel in several languages. Thanking for filling my cup with more knowledge of Matthew. 🙏
