- When we researched The Chosen, our understanding of Nicodemus and the Pharisees shifted a bit. So did the way we portray them.

I wept when Nicodemus wept. It was such a sad scene.
@Kelli Frusher yes, I could too. He had a lot to lose, and he was, as Jesus said, advanced in years. Even had he chosen to follow, I wonder how he would have kept up with the others. I forget the name of the actor who played Nicodemus, but he is superb. Dallas actually didn't audition the Nicodemus role. He knew who he wanted from the outset.
At one point, some Pharisees tried to warn Jesus that his life was in danger. "At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” - Luke 13:31
Karen Spivey Exactly. Many people conveniently ignore that passage because it’s easier to just cast everyone else as villains.
@@TheChosenSeries Will we see Luke in season 2 after he witnesses healings and miracles?
Shmuel’s character is SO well done. Very insightfully written, and excellently portrayed.
I’ve enjoyed the character of Nicodemus so much. He struggled so hard to believe that Jesus was truly the Messiah versus what he believed as a Pharisee. Love the way The Chosen explores that struggle.
I know the actor well. He was RETIRED to come back to play the best roll of his life!!
"Do not get too caught up in tunnel vision over what you think the walk of Christianity is supposed to look like." Right on!
Don't get fooled by people who try to redefine what Christians have always believed.
Humans try to lead God in their own ways.. instead of God leading them..
That perception can be scary too because it might go too far either way of the spectrum
The Chosen is a great example of how to use dramatic fiction to bring more depth, context, and clarity to the Gospels. Great conversation.
The role of Nicodemus was the most surprising thing for me in the chosen so far. It gave me another way of thinking and I felt so much sympathy for him. I really like it!
I think as conservative evangelicals we can easily identify with the pharisees. We need to love and speak truth; it is too easy to judge and not show compassion.
Thank you for explaining in more detail about the Pharisees. I have grown to love Nicodemus and hope that he re-appears in future episodes! He would have been an amazing disciple and apostle!
Shaan was born to play Shmuel. He portrays the character perfectly. Cannot wait to see where the storyline takes him. I love how all the actors and crew of this show are just excited and passionate about the part they are playing on the show. I pray that more and more people get to watch "The Chosen" and share it with everyone they know.
Yeah, and he is so cute as shmuel ❤❤
Wow...this was really good and informative. I grew up seeing the Pharisees as "the bad guys" in the Gospels. I really appreciate the insight this video gives into who they were and helps me see them in a different way. It was also really cool to hear from the actor who plays Shmuel and how he portrays that character.
As always, great work guys! Keep it up. Can't wait for season 2!
The background music though 😭😭😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dallas, this was my thesis in school! Yay!
Sorry to repeat my self.....this is so so good.....then the history and background.....the care you put in this story is a awesome....
The difference in the Sadducees and the Pharisees is that the former were more secular, the latter more religious. The Pharisee saw themselves and the guardians as custodians of the Jewish way of life. Paul, formerly known as the Pharisee Saul used this to his advantage in Acts 23. In Acts 5 Gamaliel, his mentor, cautioned the Sanhedrin by reminding them that false Messiahs came and went. If Jesus is the true Messiah, then they would be fighting against God.
Jean - I must respectfully disagree with your first statement. It is my understanding that the Sadducees were more religious so-to-speak and likely less intellectual than the Pharisees. The Sadducees were all about absolute adherence to the strict letter of the law according to literal meaning of scripture whereas the Pharisees took a method of scriptural interpretation albeit within a framework of tradition and rules of code and conduct. Hard to turn the clock back but I researched it for quite a while.
Peace.
@@dannywerner6599 Thank you. I stand corrected. Today secular means humanist or leaning towards agnosticism or atheism. In the context of the Sadducees and Pharisees, both were religious but the Sadducees didn't believe in the Resurrection or in angels or spirits whereas the Pharisees did. In that sense the Sadducees were more about the here and now instead of the hereafter, somewhat secular to our modern understanding but its best I don't look at this through a 21st century lens.
Blessings.
Talk about driving themselves insane.
I am loving this show the more I learn about its development. You guys are doing a phenomenal job. God bless you and good luck
Love the soundtrack in this video.
Yesss we have to try to understand and raise above our instinct of judging.
This subject is handled so well! I am thankful for these and many more insights. I love the dedication to research! Well done my friends!
"you came soo close(Nicodemus)" - Jesus
That makes me cry everytime...I think of it....❤️and I felt soo sad for him......
I only can say Thank you!! It changed my point of view and everytime when I look that show I learn something new about Jesus, about the Bible and the love he has for us. It´s a big blessing for me!
Erick, Shaan and Ivan all do a great job playing their respective parts. They're a joy to watch and it IS fascinating to see them struggle with the idea that Jesus is the Messiah.
These character arcs are part of the reason that I'm so pulled in to the show.
Also, for me being an American of Mexican heritage, it's cool to see people like Ivan Jasso, Abe Martell and Leticia Magaña representing el tri on the show, especially since Leticia Magaña is originally from Guadalajara and my family is from a town 60 miles to the east of it.
I absolutely love love love this show, it’s actor, and everyone involved in it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nicodemus was played most exceedingly excellently in the Chosen. The beautiful soul of the actor came out in the dialogue. I cried in the meeting of Jesus & Nicodemus when he knelt & kissed Jesus’ hand. I just can’t summon the words in how deeply it touch me.
Love the authenticity of the cultural Hebraic context of the 1st century. Thank you for being so diligent to present a series about Yeshua (Jesus) that allows a real depiction of the human and divine presentation of the scriptures in a fresh way to help all believers and skeptics find truth in Christ like never before.
Interesting point of view. Makes the Pharisees more understandable and relatable like Dallas said. Jesus is about heart and relationship. He strongly and harshly corrected the Pharisees of their religiosity and hypocrisy, Matthew 23. Jesus says to observe what the scribes and Pharisees teach, but warns not to do after their works, because they say and do not. God dwells with those who are humble and contrite in spirit (Is. 56:15, 66:2) and Christ came to make a new covenant with Israel, to put his law in our hearts, Ezekiel 11:19, Jeremiah 31:31-33 and Hebrews 8:8-13. An interesting difference between the Pharisees and Sadducees was that the Sadducees didn't believe that there was a resurrection. Acts 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
I honestly have to agree. I never understood it until watching The Chosen, but after seeing Nicodemus, Yusif, and even Shmuel, I couldn't help but remember that these men were as human as the rest of us.
BRAVO DALLAS....good work..excellent
According to Catholic, there are 3 Pharisees who were known as "good" Pharisees, because later on they'll become followers of Christ:
1. Nicodemus.
Feast Day - August 31, along with Joseph of Arimathea.
2. Saul/Paul of Tarsus (the Apostle).
Feast Day - June 29, along with St. Peter.
3. Gamaliel (Acts 5:34). He is also a teacher of Saul/Paul (Acts 22:3).
Feast Day - August 3.
I love this show❤️
I want that "Binge Jesus" sweatshirt! I hope you'll sell that and the fish shirts eventually!
Check out the livestream on monday. They're showing off the next round of merch.

I completely agree that not all Pharasees were evil I bet some even believed Jesus kinda like Nicodemus but they were so consumed by old beliefs that they conformed to their society I’m sure many had doubt and were so taken aback by Jesus
Praise the lord
Truly there is the anointing of Holy Spirit upon each and every Actor who is part of this INCREDIBLE show....After certain level, i really thought I went to Jesus' time and seeing the lives of the people who are involved in His Life. This show is really next level...... Director Mr. Dallas , kudos to you❤... God has given u and your Team such amazing revealations..
This Series , THE CHOSEN is like a Question mark to others like Netflix and Amazon prime .. nooffence🙌
You guys are building the kingdom of God in a Unique way. May God provide all the financial and spiritual needs required for season 2
Million Thanks to Lord Jesus !..for releasing season 1 in my country
My fav character is Jesus Ofcourse..But Nicodemus is doing a splendid Job..
Good work everyone... May this be a huge success world wide
❤ from India
What is this soundtrack 😁🙏🏾👍🏾
Shaan did such a good job. ♥️
Cheese on Bread! Dallas is just a wee PUP! So much talent in one so young. He has so much insight in to the human and Divine condition. That goes for all his work. Wow!!!
I will go with Divine Guidance for his work here on earth.
Wasn’t Jesus the only one at that time doing miracles? I know the Apostles did miracles after Jesus was gone to Heaven. I would think seeing Jesus do miracles , people would believe him? Please explain?
Thank you for an amazing series that teaches and shows us the story in such vivid detail. It reminds me of the feelings I had reading “The Nazarene” by Sholem Asch - another fantastic historical novel that gives one the feeling of what the world of Jesus was like when he walked the earth.
Maybe in upcoming seasons, Shmuel and Yussif have changed their hearts to believe in Jesus according to John 12:42
Many people did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldn't admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.
John 12:42 (NLT)
I wept for Nichodemus when we didn't join Jesus but left the gold behind
He wept so much too
Because he knew what he had left behind was more valuable than anything else
I pray the real Nichodemus is in heaven with the Messiah getting all his questions answered truly for all eternity.
Father please heal my papa in the mighty name of Jesus Christ amen
Prayed for your father i hope he gets better
Binge Jesus? The Chosen? What religion are you? Also what church are you from? not questioning your intent but would love to talk more with you. I need your insight to understand what your really saying here.
Brian, thanks for engaging with us. Binge Jesus means to indulge in Him, The Chosen refers to the disciples He chose, and the show was created by a conservative, Bible-believing evangelical. You can also watch our statement of faith for more insight: th-cam.com/video/S1E-gFGKVWw/w-d-xo.html
Yes!! Don' t get stuck in your head, get stuck in Jesus.
Its not about being good or bad but it was about their unbelief... "45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?" John 5 45-47
Love the Minecraft music in the background
The reason I appreciated the humanity portrayed of the pharisees in The Chosen is while we relate to them it is hoped that we also see our reflection in them. The religious spirit that many Christians have today is the same spirit that the pharisees were crippled by. Because of that they couldn't see Jesus for who He was. It would do us good not to see the pharisees as good guys just because they seem to be like us. We wouldn't want to be like them at all or Christ would call us hypocrites and that our father is satan.
Cant wait to see Saul of Tarsus
That might be for season 4 I think. In season 3 might play the final part of Jesus’s life
This is another aspect of The Chosen that I really like and respect-the honest and thoughtful portrayal of the Pharisees. There was only one other movie (called The Day Christ Died) and the book entitled I, Judas, too, that not only explored the dilemma of the Pharisees (and the Sanhedrin, in general) when Jesus appeared on the scene, but also addressed the political climate that existed in the country at the time. The Pharisees were considered to be Israel’s religious leaders (and, therefore, the leaders of the country) and any negotiations that took place with Rome, and THEIR leaders, took place between the Pharisees and the Roman officials who were there in positions of power. And what the Pharisees were most concerned with was keeping the peace; in other words, they wanted no uprisings from other factions (like the Zealots) that would give the Romans any excuse to attack and/or to kill more Jews. And then, here comes Jesus to tip over the apple cart in the biggest way possible. And so the Pharisees are split and confused, because those that are sincere are afraid that he will start an insurrection and the ones who are hypocrites really resent the fact that He is usurping their power and completely undermining their power base. But, where Jesus really got into trouble was when He began to infiltrate and influence some of the more notable Romans, as well-especially Pilate’s wife. Yet, nobody knows what to make of Him because (to the vast disappointment of the Zealots, and many of His own disciples), He didn’t come to lead an uprising against Rome. But, since nobody really understood His real mission (not even His disciples) and since He was scaring the shit out of the majority of the Sanhedrin, and since He had even begun to scare Pontius Pilate, it was time for Him to go-politically speaking. (And, in those days, they didn’t run ads or try to impeach you, they killed you!) All in all, this may be the best written story about Jesus ever made.
Think of Nicodemus as the Catholic who is open to the power and authority of God becoming incarnate not just in a man but also in the Church. Think of Shmuel as the Protestant who thinks he knows Scripture and will not go beyond it and is blind to certain parts of Scripture and will limit God's power to Jesus and the apostles but not their successors.
Jesus condemned the Pharisees in Mathew 23. Jesus teaching was not the same as the Pharisees. In fact Jesus told them that the love of God wasn't in their hearts John 5:42. The Pharisees we're about traditions and outward appearance not a transformed heart, Jesus called them hypocrites. Jesus taught you have to have a transformed heart, a true heart for God.
That's a great point he makes about the heart of the problem being mostly the elitist pharisees. Jesus did have problems with some out in the boondocks, such as at Capernaum in John 6, but most of the sparks flew when He confronted the leaders at Jerusalem.
MESSIAH , MESSIAH ❤️ ! LORD JESUS IS COMING 🙏 ! The MESSIAH is Right around the corner 🌍 ! Please Repent IN JESUS NAME ❤️ ADONAI ❤️ No more time ! Church Rapture , are you Ready ???
Hmm. ''Hypocrites'' was the main word Jesus called them. As far as we know, only 2 Pharisees were saved. Nicodemus, and Paul, and Jesus had to go after him on the Damascus road. There may have been more of course. lts interesting to see how Dallas will play this out. Love this series so far! :D
Not forgetting the likes of Paul and Nicodemus were also of the Pharisees.
Our Lord even said that the people should listen to the Pharisees, because they sit on the chair of Moses, they have authority to teach, but not follow some of their deeds on account of their hypocrisy.
I’m glad that there’s a message that not all Pharisees are bad guys.
❤️🎼🙏
Amein and Amein ♥️👑🕊✝️💎☝🏻

Of course they were all not bad. Yeshua/Jesus called them Righteous on so many occasions.
Their problem was the institution that had been created by their time. Because the rightful priest Yohannan/John had been destituted, & paid illegal leaders had replaced him. All this done by the Herod who slaughtered John & was not even the rightful king, for he had been placed by Rome/Edom.
And even in today's context, just try to tell the average clergy that they only uphold the 9 commandments & see what a riot you'll get. And don't even gey statted on the hyper grace &/or prosperity gospel preachers. Jesus would not have lasted the 3 years before being crucified by the system that rules today
Nothing new under the sun. Shalom.
May The Chosen be part of the revival of the Remnant.
Nicodemus 😭😭😭😭
I'm hoping that Simon beats up Schmoowell in season 2, I think that should be the creative licence that they should take. It would be very satisfying.
Ha! Now that would be a scene, wouldn't it?
@@TheChosenSeries why did you choose to have some Hebrew names like Shmu'el (Samuel) but have others anglicized?
Personally, I'd prefer a thumb war...
Since they're both so driven, it would be interesting to se their personalities clash
I can relate to Shmuel when I was being pulled to fundamentalism
Rabbi Nicodemus!!!
The Holy Spirit will guide you and lead you, into all Truth! Jesus promised us the same power and gifts He was given, to us. He assured us He would always be with us! Read your bible everyday. Don't skim over it read it! God said " If you will seek him with ALL your heart you will find Him!
Shmuel should become Saul 🤗
This series adds to the text, and Yeshua dressed down the Pharisees and Sadducees often... From scripture we learn that only Nicodemus and Saul converted. That leaves many of them in rebellion..
King James Bible
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
He’s probably trying to appease the fake Jew Zionists who are possibly breathing down his neck. Don’t wanna be accused of so-called antisemitism or anything do we?
Acts 15:5 - illustrates that a great number of Pharisees were believers
Paul The Disciple Your silly and ignorant comments would be funny if they weren’t sad.
irishslave51 What about the Pharisees in Luke 13:31? What about Gamiliel? It is simply incorrect to believe that the only Pharisees who believed in Jesus were the three we know by name.
Another thing about the Pharisees that most people wouldn't think about, in my personal view is, they weren't completely Unitarian like Jews today. They likely believed in God the Father and the Angel.
Ok you Dallas just said in your statement. That some believe Jesus was a Pharisee. If they will only read their BIBLE Matthew 5:20 exactly, Jesus himself said unless your righteousness exceeds the Pharisees... this is clear; Jesus Was Not a Pharisee. - Just saying; Go and learn what this means. - Isaiah 8:20 King James Version
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. The Word of God is the Truth. - We ought to believe God rather than man, and that is by His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ.
Careful last time I called dallas out publicaly he lashed out at me. He doesn't respond to personal approaches so public it is. He loves the world and loves to include it in his work. His spiritual advisors aren't even saved themselves! A catholic priest? Yikes
I'm not 100% sure on this but didn't men graduate to rabbi when they were 30 years old or so after following their rabbi. And wasn't Jesus about 30 when he started his ministry?
@Dallas Jenkins look, I admit I'm not an expert with all the Jewish sects at the time, but I would assume all of them have an education. Please read John 7:14-15...
But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach. The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?”
John 7:14-15
It's not a church, it's not religion. It's a relationship with Jesus. Every minute of every one of my days I walk with our Lord in me. Jesus, our Bible,and praying. At all costs.
... jesus and me alone... leaves us alone without Jesus
No of course not. They're not all bad guys. We know that
Number 1 there is our lovable pharisee Nico ❤️✨
“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and herbs of all kinds, and neglect justice and the love of God; it is these you ought to have practiced, without neglecting the others. 43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love to have the seat of honor in the synagogues and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces. 44Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without realizing it.” 45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us too.” 46And he said, “Woe also to you lawyers! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not lift a finger to ease them. 47Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed. 48So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ 50so that this generation may be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation. 52Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” 53When he went outside, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile toward him and to cross-examine him about many things, 54lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say."
Хорошо фарисеев законников показали.
After the season 1 finale, I think it was obviously implied that Shmuel might be one of our main antagonists going forward.
But I've REALLY enjoyed his set-up. Shmuel is certainly a character who is confused and doesnt know how to respond to certain moments, (spiritually, mentally, and EVEN physically as shown with the crowd lol) but he also embodies the flaws that I believed the Pharisee'a who persecuted and shamed Jesus had possessed.
He was a guy who didnt have a great sense of humor as shown with Nicodemus when he asks about Sardines, he has the belief that the scriptures they possess of the Old Testament are more.than just the law of God, but rather God himself and he doesnt believe that anything new can be possible or even be allowed, and he's always going behind someone's back, whether it's the public who admired Pharisees or even his own mentors.
He's actually turning himself into the viper that John had proclaimed them as by arresting people like.John or going against his fellow pharisees and mentors who share different beliefs in THEIR hearts, not necessarily hating his brothers like Moses had said but he also isnt trusting his brothers enough, and hes used a lot of subterfuge, deceit by going behind everyone's backs.
Which reminds me.....wasnt there another thing in scripture about a snake who used deception...? 🤔
Could that be another reason why Shmuel was offended by John's claim? Hehehehe
Shama israel idonaj elohim idonaj ahed
Yeah the one thing you missed is they weren’t ordained by god. They changed the priestly line so that it wasn’t the Levite’s priesthood anymore, rather anyone could be a Pharisee.
I wonder if hat was a good thing or a bad thing. I mean breaking from tradition or what we thought it should be. maybe showing it's no longer about blood lines but the spirit of the person. I wonder.
2:20
Jesus called them hypocrites in Matthew 23:15
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, *hypocrites* . For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of hell as yourselves."
Fair analysis. The Pharisees were a mixed bag for sure, as is humanity in general. But the real killjoys were the Sadducees. Bottom line is, God calls us. Not everyone gets the call.
Pharisees eventually evolved into traditional rabbinic Judaism which is the main form of Judaism today ( until conservative and Reform Judaism came much later )
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us into His image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account".
That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do.
It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him.
It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him, again, through His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if YOU had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER
If you have any questions let me know xx
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
John 16:33 - Amplified Bible
Just like the black hebrew israelites
Not all of them are these hard condemners when there are some who just evangelize both Israelites and Gentiles to repent
Edit: the pharisees who were being hypocritical would be identified as professing pharisees while ones who keep the heart of the law as legit pharisees
Nicodemus was a Pharisee until he believed that Jesus was the son of God. The Pharisees lead in the crucifixion of Christ because Jesus claimed to be God. Jesus allowed himself to be crucified by the Romans but that does not make him a Pharisee. All of the Believers were put out of synagogue and forced to live in poverty. Nicodemus was no different.
Terrence O'Rourke Nicodemus remained a Pharisee even after he believed Jesus was the son of God.
@@TheChosenSeries When Saul of Taurus(a Pharisee)came to believe Jesus was the Son of God, Saul (now Paul), was marked for death and had to flee Damascus or be killed. 20+ years later Paul was still being threatened with death when he visited Jerusalem and was only spared because he was a Roman citizen. As for there being good guys and bad guys, there is no one good but God. There is "in Christ" and "not in Christ" and when you water down the Gospel to not offend our Jewish friends and Catholic friends you do a disservice to them and to God. Truth is not a negotiable commodity. That being said, I really liked episodes 5-8. Thank you for your hard work on this project. May God keep providing wisdom and peace to you as you move forward on this project.
Yeah you missed one thing, The Pharisees CHANGED the traditions of god. They didn’t want to do it correctly! They didn’t want to submit to the Levitical priesthood. That’s why they wanted John dead, that’s why they wanted Jesus dead. They knew he was right.
Traditions and interpretations were built on top of the Torah...Yeshua warned them of focusing on the traditions more than the underlying principles of Torah.
Jesus in the King James Bible
Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Matthew 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
There is more but I hope you get the point. Jesus sounds so loving to them does he not?
“47 In turn the Pharisees answered: “You have not been misled also, have you? 48 Not one of the rulers or of the Pharisees has put faith in him, has he? 49 But this crowd who do not know the Law are accursed people.” 50 Nic·o·deʹmus, who had come to him previously and who was one of them, said to them: 51 “Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?” 52 In answer they said to him: “You are not also out of Galʹi·lee, are you? Search and see that no prophet is to be raised up out of Galʹi·lee.”” John 7:47-52
According to scripture … they were very evil. And even threaten their own whoever stepped out of bounds. Nicodemus was at the time of Jesus death not of the same sort as the Pharisees but he still coward during Jesus minister. It was not till after Jesus death he shows some courage. But the scriptures say nothing else concerning Nicodemus. There may also have been Pharisees who did not manifest bitter opposition or who later became Christians. For example, the Pharisee Gamaliel counseled against interfering with the work of Christians (Ac 5:34-39), and the Pharisee Saul (Paul) of Tarsus became an apostle of Jesus Christ.-Ac 26:5; Php 3:5. *But Paul is the only one recorded to have converted to Christianity.*
*Just how evil were the Pharisees?* “All the same, many even of the rulers actually put faith in him, but they would not acknowledge him *because of the Pharisees* so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory of men even more than the glory of God.” John 12:42, 43 “But this crowd who do not know the Law are *accursed people.”* - John 7:49 The Pharisees was a self-righteous bunch and had no love for the people. If you excepted Jesus teachings they would blacklist you. Which happened to all Jews that excepted Jesus.
*Just how evil were the Pharisees or how did Jesus view them?* Jesus said that they were liars and not just liars but that their father was Satan in John chapter 8. That statement is so very true … amazingly a few times they tried to stone Jesus to death without a trial (John 8:59; 10:31) but his death was prophesied to the stake, tree Act 10:39.
*Particularly, at Jesus trial they show just how evil they are!* according to scripture, ... “But they found none, although many false witnesses came forward. Later two came forward 61and said: “This man said, ‘I am able to throw down the temple of God and build it up in three days.” - Matthew 26:60, 61 But they knew what Jesus actually said and knew exactly what he meant by it! At the end of this fixed trial and after Jesus execution, they go to Pilot requesting, “the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together before Pilate, 63 saying: “Sir, we recall what that impostor said while he was still alive, ‘After three days I am to be raised up.* 64 Therefore, command that the grave be made secure until the third day, so that his disciples may not come and steal him and say to the people, ‘He was raised up from the dead!” - Matthew 27:62-64. So they knew what Jesus actually said and what he meant concerning the temple … referring to his body. *They searched for and knowingly allowed false testimony against Jesus!*
*So the law that they so-called claimed to adhere to … they broke!* According to the law they have condemned themselves ... “The judges will thoroughly investigate, and if the man who testified is a false witness and has brought a false charge against his brother,19 you should do to him just as he had schemed to do to his brother, and you must remove what is bad from your midst.” - Duet 19: 18-19 They deserved the death penalty!
And they still use this same false testimony against other Christians in the future. (See Acts 6:9-14)
So in reality, only one is recorded to convert and teach what Jesus and the Apostles taught ... who in the beginning originally seeking out Christians to put to death … nothing else is said concerning Nicodemus. *If this show makes it appear that the Pharisees were not bad or just ignorant or to humanize them* ... then its producers are just liars and their father is Satan ... *by the testimony of the scriptures (GOD WORD), the Pharisees were indeed evil!* I just watched some of the 1st episode, there nothing in scripture stating Nicodemus performed an exorcism ... let alone on Mary Magdalen ... Simon picking fights with inlaws ... etc. I see no reason to continue watching such baloney. So far they're bent on not telling the truth ... mixing in lies with half-truths is still lying ... TD!
We encourage you to watch the video, Wapper...
@@TheChosenSeries The first episode gave me no reason to continue watching ... I don't believe in mixing lies with some truth, it's still lying “. . .There are six things that Jehovah hates; Yes, seven things that he detests: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart plotting wicked schemes, and feet that run quickly to evil, 19 A false witness who lies with every breath, And anyone sowing contentions among brothers. . .” - Proverbs 6:16-19
It was a lie that caused mankind to fall in the first place. When you create a story that not true concerning God's word then you give false testimony on God's word. Why do you feel that you can't be truthful? Just what is your point? Or are just trying to make a buck and don't really care about truth? What I do know for sure by watching part of the 1st episode is that it's not truthful ... so I see no reason to continue watching.
Makes us like the Pharisees despite what's written in the Bible... 🤔 Well yeah not all Pharisees are bad for sure, like most of humanity isn't all good.
This should be shown to the Watchtower society. (Modern day Pharisees)!! 😒😒😒 😖
I discovered today that Yussif might be Joseph of Arimatea, the pharisee who's also a disciple of Jesus. He was the one who offered the tomb!
Shmuel can quickly become the real villain of the show. I can see him being the one who challenges Jesus, gets his but handed too him and then driving the effort to kill Jesus. Most of us know the type, letter without the heart. He is more dangerous than Quintas to me.
I suspect you've heard of Jordan Peterson, or better, his sources?
@Dale Sigler
I agree with you. I wonder if they will have Quintas play the part of the centurion in Mark 15:39 “And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.”
@@JerubbaalgodSlayer I had wondered if Gaius will be the centurion who gets saved
No quintus is dangerous, shmuel is not, coz quints is an opressor and I think the people in the show just doing their best to deal with that, plus quintus comes across as sadistic as he seem to genuenly enjoy the peoples suffering
Don't see how Jesus could ever be a pharisee
John Latham Becsuse it was a belief system that was very devout, and he specifically said in the gospels, “Do what the they say.” Just because he criticized many of them doesn’t mean he wasn’t one.
If I have to watch another "Jeff Anderson" commercial about sexual abuse...I'm gonna find him....and abuse him myself.
WHO PUT CHRIST TO THE CROSS WHO WENT TO THE ROMANS AND SAID PUT CHRIST TO DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAS IT NOT THE PHARRASSIES
Pharisees were self righteous, and Jesus was humble. There’s no comparison
Pharisees were human and therefore sinful, but Jesus was perfect and sinless (and humble!) ;)
The Chosen I’ll agree to disagree..
They didn't even believe Moses... It was all a sham. They didn't believe what they were preaching... I'm sure some were "good" people but that counts for very little. It's about belief its about Faith.
Pharisees are self righteous.
Taking advice from this man is dangerous.
No truth in him.
But either way he studies and he makes this. Does he say where is the true elders and the oil?
No he says the satinists were closer
Jesus Criticizes the Pharisees. That's All you need to know. Because they were SELF Righteous. They thought themselves to be "righteous" by being religious. Above everyone else. That's what JESUS portrayed in the Gospels.
Jesus was not a Pharisee no Kj biblical scripture can support that. Bible clearly only shows Nicodemus as the only good Pharisee but there could have been more that we do not know of but we do know must of the leader wore the one's that put Jesus on the cross (bad guys) Jesus knew all he knew because his God, and most of Pharisee and sadusee denied Jesus deity so there for they are bad. We must go by the Bible. What! They are hypocrites that's why Jesus calls them a hypocrite. Don't stray from the Bible.
Proverbs31 It is not true that in the Bible Nicodemus is the only good Pharisee. Gamaliel was another, as well as the Pharisees who came to help Jesus in Luke 13:31.
And you should consider doing more research before you conclude that Jesus was not a Pharisee. We’re not saying he was for certain, but many scholars believe he was, and with good and historical reasons.
"Not all Pharisees are bad guys." said the Pharisee.
