I'm the production designer on the show, and you are right we did model the boat off of the "Jesus" boat they found. Not an exact copy, but as close as we could.
I love how you guys care about the 1st century Jewish context. Thanks so much for caring about this, it really sets the show apart and brings that authenticity!
Thank you James for putting in the hard work! You are an instrument being used by God. 🙏 I pray God keeps you sharp and fortified to get the job done. I want to be an extra in the filming of the "Feeding of the Five Thousands".
I love how the disciples remembered Jesus said He would be back, but left out what He said just prior to that, “tell everyone to keep planning.” How often do we remember the promise, but forget the commandment that accompanies it.
"I'm coming back. [Occupy] until I do." In every episode, there are words that go straight to the heart. Never were those words as universally poignant as they are now. Not to be fearful but to be about His business no matter what the times bring. Keep looking up: "I'm all you need."
My wife caught something very neat when we were watching this episode for the first time. She noticed that it was supposed to be Simon, Andrew, Big James, and John all fishing. Jesus knew what was coming and asked those four to fish... the only four who carry weapons... so that they would not be able to stop him from being arrested. It ended up working out, but she was quick to notice Jesus' intent to take those pieces "off the board" so to speak at the beginning of the episode. Sometimes when we feel like God isn't using us in the moment, it might be because he is keeping us from a situation where we might make a really bad call and he's saving us from ourselves! Love this show!
I'm so glad I came across this show. I've been watching it ever since I noticed it and I love to see the raw reaction you both have to the scenes. I've also learned so much about Jewish culture. I'm grateful for the sincerity in which you present the love of Christ. God bless you brothers.
Also someone pointed out in a comments section for this that the minute Jesus said that 2 of his disciples did have weapons the Roman soldiers were put on the offensive and drew their swords, thus intensifying the drama and the stress for those there, including Mary. It actually put them in more danger by them being there. Jesus had tried to website the situation would be calmer than it became by their disobedience.
I loved when Simon/Peter said about the Lord's Prayer: "teach us... please!" His character is softening and he is relying more on Jesus and less on himself! Just beautiful!!
I always believed that Peter, about whom the Bible speaks of the most (after Jesus) is the new Christian - on a journey of life, brash but in love with The Lord, a little over-enthusiastic but faithful. Notice that Old Testament does the same, Abraham the Father, Isaac the son of inheritance and Jacob again the most written about, is us. Born deceivers, but on a long journey to mature into the new creature.
I got emotional when we they took Jesus into custody as it dawned on me that this was a 'tame' preview for what will happen in the garden of Gethsemane
Just seeing how intense watching Jesus being taken into custody in this Episode. Just Imagine how emotional they could make his last arrest/night. For me, and I think for everyone watching this show. We all don't want jesus getting captured because we're to fond of him and don't want something bad to happen to him but we know it's coming.
I never thought of it that way until you mentioned that! That is a very good point that it’s a little taste of what’s coming. An “appetizer” of uneasiness and foreboding before the “main course” of pain and sadness, if you will. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been foreshadowing the whole time that Quintus (considering how borderline unhinged, sadistic and sociopathic he visibly appears to be just under the surface of his façade of politeness) is going to turn out to be the very Roman who personally oversees him be severely be beaten while sadistically giggling “Prophesy! Who struck you?!” right before the crucifixion.
It shouldn't be lost on us that Mary's apology was for doing what all of the disciples were busy engaged in doing at that very moment: leaning on their own interpretation and understanding. Total mic drop moment for Mary :)
When Jesus is sitting in front of Quintas I love his demeanor. I mean, he's not worried, why should he be? I might even say that when Quintas releases him, which was a surprise, that it almost seemed like he couldn't hang on to his concern about Jesus. Like he was derailed by God and then...well, you're free to go... Jesus is calling the shots. Or at least the Father is. What would that be like, to go through life, with that kind of confidence and trust, and FAITH? That nothing will happen to us that isn't God ordained. To fully trust God for everything we go through, good or bad? Wow, I need to work on that for sure.
This is a very good comment, and it is so very pertinent for us today. Especially with the crazy arguing between believers over the -how shall I say it?- the “jab”. If we are in his hands, it doesn’t matter one way or the other what we choose to do as long as we are fully trusting in Him. Until He ordains our homecoming, we are invincible and nothing will change that. We can rest in His promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Also, he will be back!
The next best thing to watching The Chosen is watching you guys’ reaction to it. ♥️ I really look forward to hearing what you have to say, you add an extra dimension of understanding to it. Plus, you always make me chuckle and I love that 😃 😂
Very true! I've just realised that I've binge watched their reactions, because they're basically as good as the show itself! 😃 Shalom from Italy, guys!
I adore watching you guys reaction to This amazing series. I wait for each episode like there’s no tomorrow. I too cried and made the same reaction when He was saying the Lord’s Prayer . I was like, “WHYYYYY, did you cut it”!!!! Noooooo!! With tears in my eyes…. Automatically I cried again…. His word is so out of this world !!! Soooo sooo good !! Please keep your reactions coming. My prayers are will all of you, including behind the scenes brothers and sisters. Blessings
When I watched this episode, all I could think with Andrew was that for the past couple of episodes we watched his emotions get stretched like a rubber band and in this one he finally reached the end and snapped. Noah played it so wonderfully showing that even the most steadfast of us are still emotional beings and when they are running that strong and fearful we will lash out at the ones we love the most. You both do such a great job of relating different things from these episodes. You always give editional viewpoints and context that I appreciate so much. Praying for you guys daily!
We had the build up the Andrew snapping. He had been John’s disciple and John was arrested. He wasn’t expecting that…especially for Jesus not to rescue His own cousin. Andrew might not realize his faith has been shaken, but it has been, and now fear is (understandably) ruling
"Do not lean on your own understanding, but acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will straighten your path." That sums up Mary in the tent, and it's something worth remembering.
I think something interesting about this episode is that we see a bit of the leadership side of Simon come out. While we have a bit to go before he fully becomes Peter, we can see he is already starting grow and change into that. I think him going to find Mary with Matthew helped with that.
@@CrankyGrandma Absolutely! And in that moment, he realized how manly -- in the best ways -- Matthew has been becoming. (I.e., taking up the spoon to defend the women from the demoniac -- humorous, but at least he was trying.) And how Matthew is walking out his discipleship, including in humility ("Mary, I am a bad person.")
“🎼🎶🎵Lord, teach us to pray, It’s been a long and cold December kind of day. With our hearts and minds so busy in our quiet little wars, We stand and watch each other now from separate shores, We lose the way.”
Yes - I love how they’re showing the different personalities - what’s plausible - where usually Simon Peter is the hothead, but they set it up for Peter to be more calm this time after having spent the time with Matthew in the last episode, looking for Mary, and how Simon Peter is changing his understanding of who Jesus is and how He is, and how Simon Peter is recognizing all of it.
Excellent job by Liz Tabish! Did you notice the pause after she said, "I relied on my own observation, my own understanding so heavily."? The unspoken "JUST like you are doing now." In the silence, louder than if she had shouted it!" Brava, Liz! And the rest of the cast for the reaction they gave, that clearly said they heard it, in it's unspokenness!
ugh, guys, you cry, I cry... :D what a wonderful commentary. the moment when He says "you can't just shut down when you're fearful..." means so much to me. because I'm always fearful of something!! and I always shut down. and need to be reminded of His Love alwaaaays. if He wasn't Jesus He would be so frustrated already with me :D
When Mary M said, "I relied on my own observations, my own understanding" it reminded me of Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Okay so.... I really like to watch reaction videos of The Chosen. I find that I like those that have teams (like a 2 person team) instead of just one person reacting. Bouncing those thought processes off of the other person I think makes for a much more robust review. I pretty much go back to your videos whenever I see them pop up. I also like the person reacting to.. well.... react!! In certain scenes where it's obvious that it's emotional to the point of tears, I think tearing up is necessary. We can all have a good cry together, lol I love your honesty and the "little cup" is adorable, lol
I just have to comment and say how much I love and appreciate your input. The historic background and cultural nuances. It really enriches the experience of watching the Chosen. You are not like others that are taking advantage of the chosen to drive traffic but really offer substance which I truly appreciate. Thank you!! Keep up the good work.
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen
Having you two there is like having good friends in the room, laughing and talking together through the scenes. You have amazing, fun chemistry that draws us into the circle of it. Can't wait to join you in the season finale!
I enjoy your commentaries guys! Shalom to you as we wait on the Lord Jesus to come back! May we remember to be kind and love one another and make disciples in the meantime.
I think that when Jesus was living on earth, people - especially the Pharisees- had trouble comprehending his divinity. We in the 21st century are more in tune with Yeshua's divinity, and The Chosen is helping us relate to him as a human as well.
I tend to agree. I found the Max Von Sydow version ... King of Kings, I think, on youtube and I couldn't stand but a few minutes. No humanity shown at all. (I think Max was an athiest).
I agree fully… Jonathan Roumie’s portrayal of Yeshua is on par with and reminiscent of the portrayals by Bruce Marchiano from the Visual Bible series of the 1990’s… available, inviting, welcoming, interested, compassionate, appreciative, accessible while, at the same time, unyieldingly purposeful, committed, uncompromising, in control… fully a man while fully God… I think a really cool post episode interview would have Dallas, Bruce and Jonathan in the same room comparing & contrasting their ideas & experiences playing the role of Jesus…
I thought it was wonderful how Miriam. said "I'm sorry I relied on my own observation, my own understanding, so heavily." as in Prov 3:5 "and lean not on your own understanding"... she fell into temptation when she failed to trust God with her past and her understanding so quickly entangled her again. Jesus even said when He forgave her, "I just want your heart." As in "Trust in the Lord with all your heart..." Such a beautiful display of Prov 3:5 realized between man and Christ... and a sweet reminder for my own understanding and trusting
Yeah!! (JTB voice) My son and I have been anxiously awaiting your reaction video since Wednesday night. Loved it. Starting to feel like we're watching with friends. God bless you both.
I love what you guys are doing! I love the Chosen TV series so much, and then you guys really help to think through what we’ve seen, and explain nuances that maybe we didn’t pick up on. I just love watching your channel, and I really hope you will go back to season 1 episode 1 and react/comment on all of the episodes! Love you guys!
I love this whole show, I love the portrayal of the Jewish Jesus, this has brought it to a dimension, and has brought the Bible to life for me! God Bless You!
That’s been a popular comment in the FB groups: “…nooo, I wanted to hear the whole prayer!” And so many folks talked about him saying “mater mia “ when Gaius didn’t seem to understand the word “Eema”…Jesus spoke in a way that Gaius could also understand. As an interpreter, that moment resonated with me so much. 💜
Jesus is the ultimate interpreter…also “code switching” to speak in the Egyptian woman’s native language as well in a previous episode. I had never thought of him as a interpreter who not only meets people where they at but also literally speaks in the language they can understand, as we also see that with using stories that different groups/educated levels who listened to him could understand and relate to by reaching across cultural differences as well.
Every time I say the Lord's prayer which by the way is morning noon and night I am brought to tears. Can't help it just happens. I just love him so much 💓
every single andrew simon moment throughout the show is just so relatable and my sister! siblings pursuing yeshua together representation!!! the number of times ives said things along the lines of “wow you’re so dramatic “ or “wow really, me??? how about you”
Oh wow, you're so right about knowing Him on a personal level, the man and the Messiah. The show is truly Blessed by God. The portrayal is bringing you in and further in than I've EVER realized or been taught. Thank you for your reactions and to Dallas (and everyone involved) for doing such a heavy, great work for US all.
I love watching both your response and reactions to the scenes of “The Chosen” Your knowledge and inside And sense of humor is captivating! You both are very enjoyable to watch. I definitely will keep watching😊
I appreciate your remarks & your responses... I thought the insight about "that's what families do" was good - no one stays consistent, we lose it on different days over different issues. ALL of us need to be encouraged and need to be reminded of truth. None of us is immune to rude remarks or unkindness when we are stressed out.
Mary's "Boys!" and Mary M's "Jesus said he will come back" are stellar responses! The first is what a mother does when her adult children keep fighting and she can't fix their issues with each other. Mary Magdalene ends their differences and avoids collateral damage with what Jesus had said so they could trust and obey!
Their mother and their sister really. I think it also speaks volumes that the show isn't shying away from being honest at the time's gender dynamics, and it's handling it beautifully.
I enjoying watching your take on this Dallas Jenkins production of the MOST BEAUTIFUL story of all time. Something just occurred to me is Jesus KNEW what was going to happen and I think that is why he wanted the sons of Jonah, and the Sons of Thunder to go fishing. Because of the reactions of all 4, and Jesus was trying to keep them all safe and free of harm from the Romans
You’re reaction video made me understand the every bits of pieces which I missed when I watched this.. I am excited for episode 8 reaction. I liked how you reminded me in keep on waiting with my lamp ready… God bless you both.. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏😄
After every The Chosen episode, i truly look forward your incredible insights. I can't tell you how much i learn from your clips and how much i appreciate your genuine reactions. Thank you for all you do.
I pray you guys read my message right now . I must say I appreciate you guys and enjoy your time with us soooo much ! Plus , I have learned a few important tips during your conversations . Plus plus , I love the chosen since it started last year ! Much blessings 💜💜
that was such a great point... this show adds to the context of the Gospels, and it enhances our connection and understanding of our Yeshua. Thank you for your insights !
Thank you! I enjoy your analysis of each episode, both tender and humorous. Couldn't help but feel anxiety for Mary as she watched her son "detained". I'm sure Mary knew as well as anyone what the outcome could be with the Romans. By the way...the actor who plays Quintas is perfect for the part, isn't he?
So great that you can give us points about history during the time of Jesus. You’re knowledgeable and helpful in explaining historical points but also the humor breaks up the intensity and that’s what I love about you guys. Thank you
Just want to say that I really enjoy your whole presentation of the Episode, i.e., your take on everything! I love how you LOL-ed at Matthew's correction of how many words. THIS. IS. GREAT.
There were like 90K watching in the livestream the other night and so many of us HATED when the Roman’s put their hands on Jesus, let alone shackle him. I could too understand Andrew’s ‘anger’, he was just scared. He loved John The Baptist. Now John The Baptist has been taken from them and they know they’ll likely never see him again, even if they are unaware as to how soon he really would be taken from this earth. I loved your review here thank you 🙏🏼
@@rickytavilla4259 At one point there were 90K watching on TH-cam and another 90K watching at the same time on the app. And I might be mistaken but I think they stream the lives on Facebook too? Yes, it’s great to see so many supporting The Chosen and its fantastic team but it’s also lovely that *we* also feel like we are a part of something so much bigger than ourselves when we are all watching at the same time 🕊🙏🏼🕊
Many people's personality, past, reaction and response is represented in The Chosen allowing us to relate. Love the history, culture and customs making the story come alive.
Love this! I remember being in Israel 3 years after they discovered the Jesus Boat and it was so cool to see it. So happy to see you guys the next day after the episode! Thank you!! 🙏🏾
You two are such a delight! Thank you for your genuine spin on the different episodes. I love it when you are speechless. Sharing your emotions and love for Jesus fills my heart in a time where many men are lost.
This show has helped me to conciliate my erased jewish anussim roots with my family faith in Moshiach. The importance of the jewish side of the gospels, is tremendous to understand the bible and God' s plan. Cheers from Brazil, again, guys!
This show teaches me so much about the Jewishness of Jesus and then your comments and insights continue the education. I'm so thankful for your reviews...be assured God is using both of you and what a blessing that is!
I look at Andrew as someone who has anxiety issues like myself. To me John the Baptist capture shook him to the core. I wonder how he will be in season 2 episode 8 . MM and Simon (Andrew brother) was very strong in this episode.
Now as his family we argue WHEN he will be back…instead of if he will be back..I 🧡love Grafted!! Keep up the good work my brothers😊 you two are such a pleasure to watch.. so refreshing from the other junk on the internet.. so glad the Lord put this in your heart to do..he always knows what is Best and you two certainly are!🧡
Great way to start Shabbat thinking of our Savior. My favorite part of the episode was when Jesus asked to say goodbye to his Eema. So touching and caring and sure of Himself and His Father in heaven at the same time. Love your insights. Keep it up. 🌟🙋🏻♀️🧔🏻🙌🏼
Your ministry name caught my eye since I’m part of Lex Meyer’s ministry; The Grafted Church. After watching your reaction videos, I warmed up to you and thankful for your insight. Shalom brothers.
Amazing that by "chance" Simon and Andrew lost the bet and has to be on water. Could you imagine if Andrew was there is person? That had to be part of God's sovereignty.
@@kevinrobinson3420 I pray we are always able to show gratitude for the hand of God, whether as a reminder on screen, or in real life and most esp in His word. ❤
Thank you for the openness and conversation shared with us the viewers. May God continue to bless you with vision of how you can share Jesus' love with the world through your ministry.
I love your input. Please teach us more about the Jewish culture. I have watched your videos many times. I love your humility that comes across as well as your hearts that are even willing to show vulnerability. Please pray for my country South Africa. That hearts may turn back to God.
This hadn’t come up on my feed so I put it in the search engine. It is wonderful to watch these with you two. The way the writers portray family squabbles and disagreements among believers is very relatable. I’m particularly glad they spoke their thoughts out loud . It made them more real, their reactions very human and diverse, just like in real life. There are as many different personalities here as there are people and the same goes for our churches, synagogues and wherever we go. If we can’t at least voice our opinions, there’s no understanding each other since most of us can’t read minds.
Andrew has a comeback for everything! "He shouldn't have to!" Wow, shut them right down. He was called to go into town, just not for the reason he thinks, as we see in the next episode. I love how his craziness was put to good use by God. And that Phillip went along.
I love your teachings and your commentaries. You both make such a great team. I loved the comment that compared the disciples waiting to th virgins and their lamps being lit. Great insight. By the way Dallas released a video this week with an interview with the actor who plays Quintis. It was a great interview. God bless both you and your families. Your love for the Lord comes out in you both.
Thank you for your insights and most importantly, your teachings, they are precious 🙏🏻🫂🕊 🤣😂🤣😂 re: your little cup ☕️ 😆 wouldn’t it make more sense to have a thermal cup to keep it hot🤷🏻♀️🤣 Love you guys 🥰
Man, I love the conversation between Jesus and Quintus(*chef kiss* that evil bald dude is my favorite villain of the show(along Atticus), I love his sarcasm 😂😂😂) 😂😂😂 Quintus wanted to sound intimidating and Jesus so calm, and at the end, Quintus threating Jesus about JTB being a prisoner... God, Brandon Potter is fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely love the depth of your Chosen reviews and the Messianic perspective. I watch different channel reviews and get so much more from each one. But...yours always make me laugh - and cry! 🕎✝️ #AnointedGraftedReviews #TheChosen
Even though this is an extrabiblical scene, I just love how calm and confident Y'shua is throughout this situation. It brings to my mind Psalm 16:8 "I have set Adonai always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
I love how much Yeshua was so much more in control of every situation that He was in whether He was in the center of a crowd of people or standing in front of Gaius and the soldiers or sitting across from Quintus and Atticus. He just exudes POWER under the Control of His Father in Heaven.
Been waiting for this video to drop. Absolutely LOVE these reactions to The Chosen and the perspective given. Helps take things even deeper for me. Extremely grateful!
I cannot believe how MUCH I get from your reactions to The Chosen. I watch the show, then immediately look for your reaction, almost like "bonus content." Excellent. You guys are excellent.
I really enjoy the reactions you guys give. One of the best things I am finding about The Chosen is that I feel like so many different denominations of Christians/Jewish are learning about each others Religions. I feel like we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and this show is bringing us all to the same table with discussions and it is truly wonderful to see. I enjoy all the context you guys bring to the episodes it makes me enjoy the episodes even more.
I'm the production designer on the show, and you are right we did model the boat off of the "Jesus" boat they found. Not an exact copy, but as close as we could.
Thanks for your work on The Chosen James! 👍🏼
I love how you guys care about the 1st century Jewish context. Thanks so much for caring about this, it really sets the show apart and brings that authenticity!

God used their "mistake" to make a point to the Romans. And to James and John. To obey even when it's hard, harder now.

Did you forget Simon Z had the ability to kill with his bare hands?
It did dawn on me that Jesus wanted the sons of thunder on the boat when they arrested Him but their disobedience nearly put them in trouble.
Also someone pointed out in a comments section for this that the minute Jesus said that 2 of his disciples did have weapons the Roman soldiers were put on the offensive and drew their swords, thus intensifying the drama and the stress for those there, including Mary. It actually put them in more danger by them being there. Jesus had tried to website the situation would be calmer than it became by their disobedience.

The Quintas character is just hysterically brilliant.
Every day that goes by is one day closer, He is coming back. I can’t wait.
“🎼🎶🎵Lord, teach us to pray,
It’s been a long and cold December kind of day.
With our hearts and minds so busy in our quiet little wars,
We stand and watch each other now from separate shores,
We lose the way.”
My heart cried, leave Him alone! He’s done nothing. Then I realized it was for me He went through it all.
Yes - I love how they’re showing the different personalities - what’s plausible - where usually Simon Peter is the hothead, but they set it up for Peter to be more calm this time after having spent the time with Matthew in the last episode, looking for Mary, and how Simon Peter is changing his understanding of who Jesus is and how He is, and how Simon Peter is recognizing all of it.
Excellent job by Liz Tabish! Did you notice the pause after she said, "I relied on my own observation, my own understanding so heavily."? The unspoken "JUST like you are doing now." In the silence, louder than if she had shouted it!" Brava, Liz! And the rest of the cast for the reaction they gave, that clearly said they heard it, in it's unspokenness!
Wow I missed that. That's beautiful!
ugh, guys, you cry, I cry... :D what a wonderful commentary. the moment when He says "you can't just shut down when you're fearful..." means so much to me. because I'm always fearful of something!! and I always shut down. and need to be reminded of His Love alwaaaays. if He wasn't Jesus He would be so frustrated already with me :D
You are speaking to " the choir"!!! I so shut down when fearful and I hate when I do that!!!
When Mary M said, "I relied on my own observations, my own understanding" it reminded me of Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Okay so.... I really like to watch reaction videos of The Chosen. I find that I like those that have teams (like a 2 person team) instead of just one person reacting. Bouncing those thought processes off of the other person I think makes for a much more robust review. I pretty much go back to your videos whenever I see them pop up. I also like the person reacting to.. well.... react!!
In certain scenes where it's obvious that it's emotional to the point of tears, I think tearing up is necessary. We can all have a good cry together, lol I love your honesty and the "little cup" is adorable, lol
These 2 make a very good team.
That’s because they’re best friends in real life. I know them personally, and they are stellar men 🤗
@@rachelmoore4760
It shows that they are friends and oh so likable, tender hearted, knowledgeable, so sweet.
I just have to comment and say how much I love and appreciate your input. The historic background and cultural nuances. It really enriches the experience of watching the Chosen. You are not like others that are taking advantage of the chosen to drive traffic but really offer substance which I truly appreciate. Thank you!! Keep up the good work.
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen
Having you two there is like having good friends in the room, laughing and talking together through the scenes. You have amazing, fun chemistry that draws us into the circle of it. Can't wait to join you in the season finale!
I enjoy your commentaries guys! Shalom to you as we wait on the Lord Jesus to come back! May we remember to be kind and love one another and make disciples in the meantime.
I am so not ready for these guys to lose Jesus. They are such knuckleheads (like me and my loved ones).
I think that when Jesus was living on earth, people - especially the Pharisees- had trouble comprehending his divinity. We in the 21st century are more in tune with Yeshua's divinity, and The Chosen is helping us relate to him as a human as well.
I tend to agree. I found the Max Von Sydow version ... King of Kings, I think, on youtube and I couldn't stand but a few minutes. No humanity shown at all. (I think Max was an athiest).
People still have problems seeing Jesus as Devine. He is look as a good teacher or borderline mythical character.
@@Topg1 , true. I was thinking more about the Jews in the 1st century and Christians now.
I agree fully… Jonathan Roumie’s portrayal of Yeshua is on par with and reminiscent of the portrayals by Bruce Marchiano from the Visual Bible series of the 1990’s… available, inviting, welcoming, interested, compassionate, appreciative, accessible while, at the same time, unyieldingly purposeful, committed, uncompromising, in control… fully a man while fully God… I think a really cool post episode interview would have Dallas, Bruce and Jonathan in the same room comparing & contrasting their ideas & experiences playing the role of Jesus…
I thought it was wonderful how Miriam. said "I'm sorry I relied on my own observation, my own understanding, so heavily." as in Prov 3:5 "and lean not on your own understanding"... she fell into temptation when she failed to trust God with her past and her understanding so quickly entangled her again. Jesus even said when He forgave her, "I just want your heart." As in "Trust in the Lord with all your heart..." Such a beautiful display of Prov 3:5 realized between man and Christ... and a sweet reminder for my own understanding and trusting
Yeah!! (JTB voice) My son and I have been anxiously awaiting your reaction video since Wednesday night. Loved it. Starting to feel like we're watching with friends. God bless you both.
Can’t wait to see what the guys have to say! Always rich insight and authentic reactions. God bless you, brothers!
That is how I feel. I love these reviews.
Jesus will be back. Amen 🙏🥺
I love what you guys are doing! I love the Chosen TV series so much, and then you guys really help to think through what we’ve seen, and explain nuances that maybe we didn’t pick up on. I just love watching your channel, and I really hope you will go back to season 1 episode 1 and react/comment on all of the episodes! Love you guys!
I love this whole show, I love the portrayal of the Jewish Jesus, this has brought it to a dimension, and has brought the Bible to life for me! God Bless You!
I’ve watched this episode several times and I still get goosebumps when Jesus starts, “Our Father…” 😍.
That’s been a popular comment in the FB groups: “…nooo, I wanted to hear the whole prayer!”
And so many folks talked about him saying “mater mia “ when Gaius didn’t seem to understand the word “Eema”…Jesus spoke in a way that Gaius could also understand. As an interpreter, that moment resonated with me so much. 💜
Jesus is the ultimate interpreter…also “code switching” to speak in the Egyptian woman’s native language as well in a previous episode. I had never thought of him as a interpreter who not only meets people where they at but also literally speaks in the language they can understand, as we also see that with using stories that different groups/educated levels who listened to him could understand and relate to by reaching across cultural differences as well.
Especially as it adresses God not as "Lord" (Adonay), but as "Our Father".
That's a lost Catholic tool of Satan, not Jesus.
Every time I say the Lord's prayer which by the way is morning noon and night I am brought to tears. Can't help it just happens. I just love him so much 💓
every single andrew simon moment throughout the show is just so relatable and my sister! siblings pursuing yeshua together representation!!! the number of times ives said things along the lines of “wow you’re so dramatic “ or “wow really, me??? how about you”
Oh wow, you're so right about knowing Him on a personal level, the man and the Messiah. The show is truly Blessed by God. The portrayal is bringing you in and further in than I've EVER realized or been taught. Thank you for your reactions and to Dallas (and everyone involved) for doing such a heavy, great work for US all.
Thanks for this ministry. It has been a blessing to me.
Totally
The extra biblical addition to the Chosen to me is The Lord telling us His story. I love you guys of how you bring the episode alive and stimulating
I love watching both your response and reactions to the scenes of “The Chosen” Your knowledge and inside And sense of humor is captivating! You both are very enjoyable to watch. I definitely will keep watching😊
I love you guys! You make me laugh, you give me something to think about.
I appreciate your remarks & your responses... I thought the insight about "that's what families do" was good - no one stays consistent, we lose it on different days over different issues. ALL of us need to be encouraged and need to be reminded of truth. None of us is immune to rude remarks or unkindness when we are stressed out.
Mary's "Boys!" and Mary M's "Jesus said he will come back" are stellar responses! The first is what a mother does when her adult children keep fighting and she can't fix their issues with each other. Mary Magdalene ends their differences and avoids collateral damage with what Jesus had said so they could trust and obey!
Their mother and their sister really. I think it also speaks volumes that the show isn't shying away from being honest at the time's gender dynamics, and it's handling it beautifully.
I enjoying watching your take on this Dallas Jenkins production of the MOST BEAUTIFUL story of all time. Something just occurred to me is Jesus KNEW what was going to happen and I think that is why he wanted the sons of Jonah, and the Sons of Thunder to go fishing. Because of the reactions of all 4, and Jesus was trying to keep them all safe and free of harm from the Romans
You’re reaction video made me understand the every bits of pieces which I missed when I watched this.. I am excited for episode 8 reaction. I liked how you reminded me in keep on waiting with my lamp ready… God bless you both.. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏😄
After every The Chosen episode, i truly look forward your incredible insights. I can't tell you how much i learn from your clips and how much i appreciate your genuine reactions. Thank you for all you do.
I second this 😀
@@childofelohim9375 Me too!!
I pray you guys read my message right now . I must say I appreciate you guys and enjoy your time with us soooo much ! Plus , I have learned a few important tips during your conversations . Plus plus , I love the chosen since it started last year ! Much blessings 💜💜
that was such a great point... this show adds to the context of the Gospels, and it enhances our connection and understanding of our Yeshua. Thank you for your insights !
At minute 28, "the family of Messiah today..." boy, you got that right!
Thank you! I enjoy your analysis of each episode, both tender and humorous. Couldn't help but feel anxiety for Mary as she watched her son "detained". I'm sure Mary knew as well as anyone what the outcome could be with the Romans. By the way...the actor who plays Quintas is perfect for the part, isn't he?
So great that you can give us points about history during the time of Jesus. You’re knowledgeable and helpful in explaining historical points but also the humor breaks up the intensity and that’s what I love about you guys. Thank you
Just want to say that I really enjoy your whole presentation of the Episode, i.e., your take on everything! I love how you LOL-ed at Matthew's correction of how many words. THIS. IS. GREAT.
Love you guys and the content. You two are an Oasis in a desperate world and thanks for being faithful.
There were like 90K watching in the livestream the other night and so many of us HATED when the Roman’s put their hands on Jesus, let alone shackle him. I could too understand Andrew’s ‘anger’, he was just scared. He loved John The Baptist. Now John The Baptist has been taken from them and they know they’ll likely never see him again, even if they are unaware as to how soon he really would be taken from this earth. I loved your review here thank you 🙏🏼
Warms my heart
That so many were watching
@@rickytavilla4259 At one point there were 90K watching on TH-cam and another 90K watching at the same time on the app. And I might be mistaken but I think they stream the lives on Facebook too?
Yes, it’s great to see so many supporting The Chosen and its fantastic team but it’s also lovely that *we* also feel like we are a part of something so much bigger than ourselves when we are all watching at the same time 🕊🙏🏼🕊
@@fairlyvague82 Awesome awesome awesome. What I would do to see a revival for the lord in this country
Love you guys. You have helped me to appreciate Jesus me more.
Mary: "Jesus said he'd be back" . One of the best lines
I really enjoy your thoughts and insight. Thank you so very much! Yes he will be back!
Many people's personality, past, reaction and response is represented in The Chosen allowing us to relate. Love the history, culture and customs making the story come alive.
Love this! I remember being in Israel 3 years after they discovered the Jesus Boat and it was so cool to see it. So happy to see you guys the next day after the episode! Thank you!! 🙏🏾
You two are such fun!!
You two are such a delight! Thank you for your genuine spin on the different episodes. I love it when you are speechless. Sharing your emotions and love for Jesus fills my heart in a time where many men are lost.
This show has helped me to conciliate my erased jewish anussim roots with my family faith in Moshiach. The importance of the jewish side of the gospels, is tremendous to understand the bible and God' s plan. Cheers from Brazil, again, guys!
Both of U are Amazing brother, like David and Jonathan. U are both a beautiful JOY!
Thank U and God continue to bless U.
Love you guys, you tear up every place that I do, no matter how many times I watch the episode you show.
I’m a tough guy 54 year old Harley rider I cry every episode
This show teaches me so much about the Jewishness of Jesus and then your comments and insights continue the education. I'm so thankful for your reviews...be assured God is using both of you and what a blessing that is!
I look at Andrew as someone who has anxiety issues like myself. To me John the Baptist capture shook him to the core. I wonder how he will be in season 2 episode 8 . MM and Simon (Andrew brother) was very strong in this episode.
Now as his family we argue WHEN he will be back…instead of if he will be back..I 🧡love Grafted!! Keep up the good work my brothers😊 you two are such a pleasure to watch.. so refreshing from the other junk on the internet.. so glad the Lord put this in your heart to do..he always knows what is Best and you two certainly are!🧡
Great way to start Shabbat thinking of our Savior.
My favorite part of the episode was when Jesus asked to say goodbye to his Eema. So touching and caring and sure of Himself and His Father in heaven at the same time.
Love your insights. Keep it up. 🌟🙋🏻♀️🧔🏻🙌🏼
Love the Lord's Prayer moment, I got chills. "Thy will be done."
That's the model prayer, not the Lord's prayer. Well, it's a Romish antichrist perversion of the model prayer, anyway.
Thank you so much. Your commentary is good for my heart, and I am enjoying learning.
the chosen helped me dive in to my faith for the first time. ive always been a believer but i never lived faith. so thankful i stumbled on the chosen!
Great show, guys. Love!
"Hebrew it"...that was great ha ha ha ha.. Thanx guys
I love your comment, Tom, about that is the Jewish part of Jesus. That has really given me pause to think even as part of the Body of Messiah.
It’s always good to see you guys
Shabbat Shalom, that was so nice.
I always get more out of each episode by watching you guys share your insights and observations.Thanks.
Your ministry name caught my eye since I’m part of Lex Meyer’s ministry; The Grafted Church. After watching your reaction videos, I warmed up to you and thankful for your insight. Shalom brothers.
Amazing that by "chance" Simon and Andrew lost the bet and has to be on water. Could you imagine if Andrew was there is person? That had to be part of God's sovereignty.
Well, at least the writer’s of this story’s sovereignty over this extra biblical content for sure. 😌
@@kevinrobinson3420 I pray we are always able to show gratitude for the hand of God, whether as a reminder on screen, or in real life and most esp in His word. ❤
Thank you for the openness and conversation shared with us the viewers. May God continue to bless you with vision of how you can share Jesus' love with the world through your ministry.
I enjoy your comments so much, that I often watch each of your episodes more than once.
I love your input. Please teach us more about the Jewish culture.
I have watched your videos many times. I love your humility that comes across as well as your hearts that are even willing to show vulnerability.
Please pray for my country South Africa. That hearts may turn back to God.
This hadn’t come up on my feed so I put it in the search engine. It is wonderful to watch these with you two. The way the writers portray family squabbles and disagreements among believers is very relatable. I’m particularly glad they spoke their thoughts out loud . It made them more real, their reactions very human and diverse, just like in real life. There are as many different personalities here as there are people and the same goes for our churches, synagogues and wherever we go. If we can’t at least voice our opinions, there’s no understanding each other since most of us can’t read minds.
Andrew has a comeback for everything! "He shouldn't have to!" Wow, shut them right down. He was called to go into town, just not for the reason he thinks, as we see in the next episode. I love how his craziness was put to good use by God. And that Phillip went along.
I love your teachings and your commentaries. You both make such a great team.
I loved the comment that compared the disciples waiting to th virgins and their lamps being lit. Great insight.
By the way Dallas released a video this week with an interview with the actor who plays Quintis. It was a great interview.
God bless both you and your families. Your love for the Lord comes out in you both.
Totally
I am so glad I found you guys! I learn so much from your explanations and insights! God Bless you both!!!
Thank you for your insights and most importantly, your teachings, they are precious 🙏🏻🫂🕊
🤣😂🤣😂 re: your little cup ☕️ 😆 wouldn’t it make more sense to have a thermal cup to keep it hot🤷🏻♀️🤣
Love you guys 🥰
Man, I love the conversation between Jesus and Quintus(*chef kiss* that evil bald dude is my favorite villain of the show(along Atticus), I love his sarcasm 😂😂😂) 😂😂😂 Quintus wanted to sound intimidating and Jesus so calm, and at the end, Quintus threating Jesus about JTB being a prisoner... God, Brandon Potter is fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great insight again guys. The wisemen…thanks for connecting dots!
Right. I hadn't caught that.
Absolutely love the depth of your Chosen reviews and the Messianic perspective. I watch different channel reviews and get so much more from each one. But...yours always make me laugh - and cry! 🕎✝️
#AnointedGraftedReviews
#TheChosen
Even though this is an extrabiblical scene, I just love how calm and confident Y'shua is throughout this situation. It brings to my mind Psalm 16:8 "I have set Adonai always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
I love how much Yeshua was so much more in control of every situation that He was in whether He was in the center of a crowd of people or standing in front of Gaius and the soldiers or sitting across from Quintus and Atticus. He just exudes POWER under the Control of His Father in Heaven.
I've just loved watching few episodes with you. It's been double blessing. Thanks for your observations and comments that were eye opening.
You both are refreshing. Thank you.
Thank you again for your comments and insight. I really am blessed by your videos.
Hey Sam and Tom, watch the interview with Brandon Potter who plays Quintas and listen to how he had to prepare for this scene.
Been waiting for this video to drop. Absolutely LOVE these reactions to The Chosen and the perspective given. Helps take things even deeper for me. Extremely grateful!
Every time I see these scenes I'm so so amused in a good way. I Love Jesus.
I cannot believe how MUCH I get from your reactions to The Chosen. I watch the show, then immediately look for your reaction, almost like "bonus content." Excellent. You guys are excellent.
I really enjoy the reactions you guys give. One of the best things I am finding about The Chosen is that I feel like so many different denominations of Christians/Jewish are learning about each others Religions. I feel like we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and this show is bringing us all to the same table with discussions and it is truly wonderful to see. I enjoy all the context you guys bring to the episodes it makes me enjoy the episodes even more.
