I just watched season 3 episode 4 I cried my eyes out. When I did I asked that my son be healed from alcohol and drugs. My faith was so high. Then I watched season 3 episode 5. My heart was beating so hard. May all our prays be answered. God bless everyone
Here’s calling the attention of The Chosen Director Mr. Dallas Jenkins... I’m an avid follower of The Chosen tv series. Mr. Conrad Robbins is doing a good job in making me , and I’m sure most people, to fully understand our faith in God. Thru his vlogs, I am able to appreciate The Chosen tv series coz I get to know more about the Bible... I just wish this very knowledgeable blogger Mr. Brandon Robbins is given his own platform to spread the Gospel to more people. Thank you Mr Robbins for a job well done👏👏👏👍👍👍🌝. More power to your channel.
Would really like you to do more video on disciples. Love this one. So helpful. Also any bible study ones would be great too. Thanks for all your insights, much appreciated.
@@emilyraines6106 Read the old book from the '70s or '80s by Dr. William Steuart McBirnie called The Search For The Twelve Apostles. Here is a link to a revised version that I do not know much about the revisions, but the old books are cheaper and easy to find used. I found it interesting, but keep in mind that for some of the 12 Apostles it is more traditional handed down stories than verified by historians. John, Peter and Paul are fairly easy and of course, the Apostle James the son of Zebedee and brother of John was killed in Acts by Herod. Did you know Doubting Thomas was martyred in India? Also the Church of St. Thomas Syro-Malabar still exists to this day and even Wikipedia has a lengthy article on it. www.christianbook.com/search-the-twelve-apostles-revised-edition/william-mcbirnie/9781414320045/pd/320045
Thank you, Brandon, for sharing your insights. These videos are encouraging and very informative. I'll be sharing them with my prayer sisters as we begin a summer Bible Study on The Chosen. I love your explanations, for expounding on scripture we've read hundreds of times, enabling us to see it with new eyes.
@@BrandonRobbinsMinistry Acts 5:30 The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus Galatians 1: Paul, an apostle, neither from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Christa and God the Father, WHO RAISED HIM UP from the dead
I have say Brandon, this was such a good lesson!!! It really taught me a lot but also spoke to me, a sinner and that there is hope knowing that Jesus loves me, loves us, no matter who we are, where we come from. Thank you for this video and God bless.
Thank you so much for your help with all the information you provide. Life changing doesn't seem strong enough but Jesus led me here and I am so grateful and humbled
Thank you so much for this very informative video. Being a bit of a word nerd, I really enjoyed that you included Greek word study. Thank you for all you do. Lord Bless!!
I really like what your video states. I feel down as you stated wondering like Simon Peter why would Jesus want me. When I look at Simon I go that's my character somewhat not always doing the right things and trying to fix all that I messed up! In these times as in those days of the Disciples I think they knew the risks of what they took on especially Simon. Yet, Jesus Messiah does forgive, he does love us he does so because of our belief in him and because we are his children. I don't think he expects us to be perfect as we wouldn't expect our children to be. This is why he forgives us if we ask. This is the greatest love of all! I believe in Jesus Messiah with all my heart and am a leader like Simon Peter even if he denied him 3 times. Jesus Christ still loved him and forgave him. I don't understand why it's so hard for people not to get saved when all you need is to believe as it's written in scriptures. How can anyone deny his love? When you think about it the gift of salvation is free to all who want that love and even if Simon Peter and John were arrgomattes they understood. God Bless you all. "Jesus answered I am the way the truth and the life. "🌼🌻🦋💖
I love that summary of Peter! And I love that Jesus doesn't always call the higher-ups but he mostly calls the outcast of society to play a big role in his kingdom. Thank you for sharing this message Brandon Robbins. I have a question, was Peter a descendent of Benjamin or from the tribe of Benjamin? I have looked in the Bible in it that it's not clearly say from what tribe Peter is from.
I came across your teachings by “accident” and I need to say, thank you for putting the cookies on the lower shelf so we can all reach them, not that I’m uneducated but you teach on a level that we all understand. I know that I personally will be reading my Bible in a different way
Beautiful. People always want to place the disciples above them and in reality they were imperfect souls made just like Jesus wanted them so he could mold them and they in turn become the influential leaders of his church. He wanted them to be able to connect to others.
I am so glad Jesus didn't pick all perfect people to become His disciples. If H e had there would be no hope for any of us and we wouldn't learn that you can fail and still try it again until you get it right. I am so glad Jesus loves me I am so glad He forgives me.
Lately, since the Chosen hit my life, I have been relating so much to Peter, and realizing that God really is amazingly gracious to me, so much I DON'T deserve Him!!! PRAISES to my 👑 King Yeshua❣️✝️🙏
You are right!! The Chosen does "hit" you and you can't stop watching and searching for every little piece, because you don't want to miss out on anything. 🙄🤔
Amen and amen when I came back to the Lord I felt exactly what you just described I learned also that the heavenly father was really my daddy and I did not have that relationship growing up you know a daddy that let me run into his arms and pick me up and just love me it wasn't until I was a teenager that my father got saved so when I came back to the Lord he filled in that Gap for me of what I did not have growing up as a little girl that was so phenomenal I just did not know God love me that much of course I knew John 3:16 of course I've studied the Bible been in Christian since I was 6 years old but I had been in and out of church as an adult so when I turn 49 looked at my life how messed up it was I quit blaming everybody else and held myself accountable and I realized how unworthy I was of God's mercy but I was so thankful for that very Mercy and I praise His holy name every day and thank GOD for it
I just loved how you described Simon Peter to us! You have such a way that's easier to understand with the Greek translations and Hebrew translations! Thank you! ❤️
In the study of Luke a few years back, I noticed it said Pilate asked a third time who the crowd wanted. Third time again the crowd denied Jesus and said Barabas. I got thinking of Peter's 3 denials and Jesus' 3 Do you love me ? God showed me it had to be 3. You can't just deny one part of the Trinity. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one. To deny one you deny all three. Thus, 3 questions of who from Pilate, 3 denials from Peter and 3 Do you love me from Jesus.
And with those 3 times he said he loves Jesus, he proved his love and it was cleaned, the part when he denied Him. It was also the way that Jesus proved to him:"it is all for given, don't eat yourself for your denial"
Thank you brother, a very encouraging word and much needed in this season of my life. I have always identified w/Peter (especially, in the bad temper dept.), but this in-depth study of him is an eye opener. I also enjoyed watching the video on Matthew. God bless. Shalom.
Yes indeed , very encouraging words. I’m a new fan of his channel. It’s worth sharing to more people so as to make this world a better place to live 👍👏
I've been a Christian since I was 9 & am now 64. God's love letter- The Bible has blessed my life for many yrs. However when I saw the 1st episode of The Chosen season 1 it changed my life. I asked Jesus to let me see people like He sees them. He answered my prayer & this has blessed me every day since. There are so many hurting people who need to hear God's love for them through Jesus. I'm sharing The Chosen w/all those who don't know this GREAT LOVE!!! Thank all of y'all who are a part of this AMAZING PRODUCTION! After seeing these videos about the show I pray for y'all too as y'all tell God's Love Story.💞🙏😊
This is some of the best biblical content and teaching on this platform by far. Plain and simple for all too understand. Sort of reminds me of Jesus himself. Too many "Christian Scholars" want to impress us with their profound knowledge of the Bible and lose many of us on terminology that requires a dictionary to decipher what the message is! I love the simplicity of your explanations of things I glazed over while reading my Bible. Job well done Brandon.
Thank you for your loving way of sharing Simon Peter with all of us! Thank you for your knowledge around Greek! It was so very helpful! I can’t wait to learn more about what you have to say. Thank you for your love and thank you for loving the Bible in such a way that you share it with all of us!
Good job Brother! This is so appreciated. God continue to Bless your work to bring greater clarity to the apostles' lives. Encouraging our faith walk.💒
Yes. I cry every time even now when I read John 21. Most Powerful in my repentance and surrender to my Lord Jesus. He Loves me and you so. very much. He's jealous for us. Amazing.
Peter was not the first pope.nero crucified him upside down in 68ad.Simon pater the sorcerer,who tried to buy the anointing the disciples in ACTS had was the first pope.Vatican comes from Latin vulgate Vaticanus.u been lied to
@@geordiewishart1683 Oh really? You have been to Rome and know this for a fact? Go into the Roman catacombs and you will see grave after grave read: “resting near Peter”, “laying close to Peter”. One grave actually says: “here Peter rests”. Are you so sure of your “facts”?
I don't know about anyone else, but I can't wait to meet the people in the Bible in heaven. Of course, I also will fall at the feet of Jesus in gratitude for loving me!!
Having gone to Catholic school, I look to Simon-Peter in the series with very special attention. I see this brash, sometimes silly but harsh guy and just know - 'this is the guy who's going to become the first Pope. This is the leader of the Church. Woah.' Jesus certainly didn't use the 'best' people for their roles, but through Him they BECAME the best at their roles! Sounds like Simon and Matthew become friends in the end if Matthew speaks so highly of him lol.
Jesus built his church on the rock, and that's Peter. What a wonderful thing to be told that you are the rock that upon I will build My church!!!! AMEN 🙏 ❤
It was his faith , Peter's faith he was talking about when stating " I will build my church upon this rock " not Peter the person , but his faith , it is the same faith as the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years ,
The roman catholic church is a pagan, antichrist cult and what you stated was just one of their many heresies. WHO IS THE ONLY ROCK? "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST (not peter)." 1 Corinthians 3:11 IS PETER THE ROCK?: "And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST." 1 Corinthians 10:4 Greek for "rock" is petros which means little rock or pebble Jesus is the foundation, the only Rock .... "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets (whom God gave us His written Word through), Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (foundation)." (Ephesians 2:20) .... The term "apostles and prophets" refers to the Holy Scriptures that they were moved upon by the Holy Spirit to give us. It refers to the written Word. WHO IS YOUR ROCK? Christ was not saying that peter or any mere man was the Rock .... that would blatantly contradict His own Word ..... There's no such thing as a "pope" in Christ's kingdom. Such a title or office appears nowhere in Scripture. Peter was a Jewish apostle of Jesus, not a pope of Rome. Peter wrote 8 chapters at the end of the New Testament canon and never mentioned that he was a "pope." Surely he would have known if he was the first "pope." Pure fiction. The office of the "pope" is the seat of antichrist. Run for your life.
No. Protos simply means first. proto- /ˈprōdō/ combining form prefix: proto-; prefix: prot- original or primitive. "prototherian" first; anterior; relating to a precursor. "protomartyr" Origin  from Greek prōtos ‘first’. This guy just MAKES THINGS UP.
I have been using you comments on The Chosen series as part of my showings of episodes at my church. People tell me they come to watch those as much as the episodes. They tell me they can stay hom a watch The Chosen, but they enjoy your explanations and background info too. A question Brandon. When Jesus tells Peter "..upon THIS ROCK I will build my Church" wasn't Jesus referring to Peter statement "You are the Christ..."? He doesn't say 'Upon YOU I will build my Church". Isn't it Peter's statement "You are the Christ...." what is our Christian foundation NOT Simon Peter? We stand on Christ the Solid Rock, not Peter the expounder on the Gospel.
17/07/2121 A more in depth understanding of Jesus and His life may be gained by reading the writings of mystic Maria Valtorta, from Italy who wrote thousands of pages whilst confined to bed by disease.. Her writings are so descriptive re nature, weather, landscape etc so much so that places would be can be identified by her descriptions. There are so many non biblical stories in these writings they are impossible to refute! PETER the FIRST Pope gave up his life by being crucified but asked to be hung upside down as he didn't want to die the same as Jesus. Prayers for all to understand. God's bless from The Great South land; Land of The Holy Spirit.
Wait, Maybe I have this wrong. Wasn't Peter's father, or uncle, involved with the Temple in Jerusalem? Had to do a turn of service there? Wasn't that why Peter was able to slip into an inner courtyard when the Sanhedrin had Yeshua? I understand the Galileans were considered rough people, Hill people, in that they were known for an 'independent' spirit, in that it was an area known for breeding rebels, many of them in the Jewish Wars. Peter's family and some of the Disciples, weren't they in the fishing cooperative on the Sea? All that suggests to me some literacy. ? Enjoying very much your fleshing out the time and the people!
A couple of interesting points (perhaps you can flesh them out in future): Jesus tells Simon, "you are Πέτρος" 04074 G4074 Πέτρος Petros pet'-ros Apparently a primary word; a (piece of) rock (larger than G3037); as a name Petrus an apostle: - Peter rock. Compare G2786. 03037 G3037 λίθος lithos lee'-thos Apparently a primary word; a stone (literally or figuratively): - (mill- stumbling-) stone. 02786 G2786 Κηφᾶς Kēphas kay-fas' Of Chaldee origin (compare [H3710]); the Rock; Cephas (that is Kepha) surname of Peter: - Cephas. 03710 H3710 כּף kêph kafe From H3721; a hollow rock: - rock. (I can't help but notice the 3 7 10 involved, here ;-) ) Then says, "and on this πέτρα I will build my church..." 04073 G4073 πέτρα petra pet'-ra Feminine of the same as G4074; a (mass of) rock (literally or figuratively): - rock. There is an interesting contrast between the two words. Though one is the feminine of the other, one, here is defined as a piece of rock (even a hollow rock, from H3710), while the other is a mass of rock, and they were literally standing in front of a mass of rock. Also, in times past, that cave had been known as The Gates of Hell/Hades. The second point is in that closing scene in the Gospel of John. The first two times Jesus questions Simon, He asks him if he αγαπας Jesus, and both times Simon responds by saying that he φιλω Jesus. The third time Jesus challenges Simon at his own level, asking if he φιλεις Jesus, and Simon responds that Jesus knows he φιλω Him. I almost never hear any teacher address that last contrast. They just skate over it like it's not there. Well, it looks like I might have given you 2 videos to do. But, as I wrote, above, "in future".
That's interesting - I'll be diving into those differences (rock). I was reading a commentary on the "do you love me" conversation. John had also interchanged these in 16:27 & 17:23. Makes it harder to know if the change is significant, but the 3 times would have certainly both reminded Peter of his denials, and given him the chance to reaffirm his love. Regardless, it was his call - if you love me, shepherd my flock. That moment had to be life-altering for him. Before the denial - before Peter was so completely broken over denying Christ - he thought he was ready. In the passage in Luke, Jesus even reverted back to calling him Simon. He wasn't ready *yet*, but he would be. He would never forget that lesson & failure, or the call to shepherd, evident in 1 Peter 5. His absolute love was evident in the rest of his life.
Jesus is God and he made Peter the Rock and built his Church on him.... sometimes people don't get the most simple interpreted of the Bible but rather make it more harder to understand, they instead of saying and accept that Peter is the Rock that the Lord built his church on, they sidestep and say Jesus is Rock and Peter blah blah blah.... please dont mix up the interpretation because when God said this, he meant it, God is not a God of confusion, is the servant of confusion so Peter was referring by the blessed Lord as the Rock and he gave him the authority of his Church and the key etc
Thank you for your insights about Peter's relationship with Jesus. My husband and I sincerely appreciate your comments about biblical scripture in general, and in particular, in regard to "The Chosen". Please keep up the good work you are doing. Thanks again for sharing your inspirational comments Brandon.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful word, as I sit in tears praising my Lord Jesus Christ for all of His goodness, love and redemption. This video has truly blessed me today for I too have been feeling alone and unworthy as I do my best to follow my Lord and Savior. All I want to do is share my testimony and the love of our Lord while constantly being faced with opposition but I stand on the word of God and I know He lead me to this scripture long ago, Matthew 16:18. Thank You Father God for Your grace and mercy,, love and goodness over Your people, I bless Your Holy name Jesus.
Just for your information, Catholics are not Christians. Orthodoxes, Methodists, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, etc... aren't Christians either. Why? - Each of them have beliefs, teachings, ideologies and practices that are NOT in the Bible. A.K.A., doing what they want. - It is impossible for Catholics, Orthodoxes, Mormons, Methodists, Jehovah Witnesses, etc... to end up in the same place (Heaven) if they all have different beliefs, teachings, practices, and ideologies. For example, Catholics believes that Mary is a virgin, which isn't true. If you actually read the Bible (not the Catholic edition) you would know that Mary had other children with Joseph. Therefore, Mary was not a virgin. - Mary is NOT the mother of GOD. Catholics praise Mary as if she is the creator and the mother of GOD. But, GOD doesn't have a mother, He created all humans, including Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus here on earth, that is it. She was just chosen from the other virgins. - Catholics confess their sins to pope/priests instead of to GOD/family/friends/the person you hurt. The priest/Pope is not GOD, you can come to GOD directly. - You guys have images/statues in your church of "saints", when clearly in one of the Ten Commandments it says in Exodus 20:4 says: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, *or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above* , *or that is in the earth beneath* , *or that is in the water under the earth" . - You guys pray to an image of "Jesus Christ" when you shouldn't pray to any image or have any necklaces. Exodus 20:5 says: *Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them* , *nor serve them* : for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; - You guys baptise children, when I think they should be baptised when they give their life to Jesus Christ, A.K.A. being a new creature in Christ. - You guys have the 7 sins or something like that which ISN'T in the Bible. - Etc...
I don't know what faith you belong to. As a Catholic, I do know about the primacy of Peter. His primacy is continued through this day in the Pope. We can trace the line of our Popes all the way back to Peter, the first Pope. The Catholic Church is built on the rock of St. Peter, and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Praise the Lord!
The practice of using "_____ of/son of" carried throughout History. Scottish and Irish last names that start with Mac or Mc mean the same (MacDonald = Son of Donald)
just so you know...Jesus is the rock on which the Church is built, not Peter. Do some exploration of that passage, study the greek and put Jesus' statement in context please.

See also Daniel 2:44 to learn the meaning of the rock not hewn by human hands which grows and overcomes the man made kingdoms of the world. This rock is our Messiah. The cornerstone of the church. Christ's body is all those who make up God's true church.
@@TedEhioghae The Bible of which you refer to which is the Word of God, was compiled by the Catholic Church. Catholics are the Christian Church, the Church established by Jesus Christ. Man throughout history has proclaimed some heresies and differences of doctrine which culminated in the Protestant Reformation. All Catholics recognize the Protestant denominations that are trinitarian, in other words, the Catholic Church recognizes the one baptism into the Church proclaimed in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, using water. There are doctrinal and dogmatic differences beyond that, however, Catholics believe that all are saved through Jesus Christ according to God's judgment alone, and we can only know the Father through the Son. We have a very intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, through whom the Father is revealed. The purpose of baptism is far deeper than a choice or acceptance of Jesus. All children are created in the image a nd likeness of God, and therefore deserve to become members of His flock as soon as possible, as baptism sanctifies us and removes original sin, although leaving the effects behind (concupiscence). Many of your proclamations about the Catholic Church stated above are misconceptions, and dialoguing about the differences directly with a well-educated Catholic is best. Many Catholics do not know their faith, likely because there was a period in history when they were discouraged from reading the Bible, after the Protestant Reformation. This is no longer the case. We know the Scriptures very well, and to develop a deep, and intimate relationship with Jesus is best aided by His Word, as He is the Word (John, Chapter 1). God bless you, and I look forward to knowing you in heaven someday!
Brandon I love all your lessons. I love how excited you are as a believer. Your body language and your words make me excited too. God bless you brother!
I look forward to learning about the other apostles in your future videos. Your videos are well done & a nice length. I am learning & enjoying them. Thank you. God Bless you.
The revelation that Peter received regarding the identity of Jesus was a blessing ... but was not unique. Look at the words of Martha (Lazarus’ sister) in John 11:27. Her words nearly mirror Peter’s.
BEAUTIFULLY PUT!!! I’ve recently been feeling connected to the character of Peter and his approach to loving the lord and how Jesus using his personality traits to glorify the father!! so powerful, thanks for this!!

I cried during EVERY episode. Lol

Is your son an addict? Or does he just casually consume alcohol and recreational drugs?

@@emilyraines6106 Read the old book from the '70s or '80s by Dr. William Steuart McBirnie called The Search For The Twelve Apostles. Here is a link to a revised version that I do not know much about the revisions, but the old books are cheaper and easy to find used. I found it interesting, but keep in mind that for some of the 12 Apostles it is more traditional handed down stories than verified by historians. John, Peter and Paul are fairly easy and of course, the Apostle James the son of Zebedee and brother of John was killed in Acts by Herod. Did you know Doubting Thomas was martyred in India? Also the Church of St. Thomas Syro-Malabar still exists to this day and even Wikipedia has a lengthy article on it.

Great video!! Enjoyed watching, it really made me feel loved lol. Sounds strange but I needed to hear the last part of this video. Thank you!
I'm glad God spoke to you through it :-)
Thank you so much for this very informative video. Being a bit of a word nerd, I really enjoyed that you included Greek word study. Thank you for all you do. Lord Bless!!
I’m definitely a word nerd, too!
Amen brother! The love I felt for our Lord came through in this video...many blessings for spreading the Word
Very good video, and a great story.
I really like what your video states. I feel down as you stated wondering like Simon Peter why would Jesus want me. When I look at Simon I go that's my character somewhat not always doing the right things and trying to fix all that I messed up! In these times as in those days of the Disciples I think they knew the risks of what they took on especially Simon. Yet, Jesus Messiah does forgive, he does love us he does so because of our belief in him and because we are his children. I don't think he expects us to be perfect as we wouldn't expect our children to be. This is why he forgives us if we ask. This is the greatest love of all! I believe in Jesus Messiah with all my heart and am a leader like Simon Peter even if he denied him 3 times. Jesus Christ still loved him and forgave him. I don't understand why it's so hard for people not to get saved when all you need is to believe as it's written in scriptures. How can anyone deny his love? When you think about it the gift of salvation is free to all who want that love and even if Simon Peter and John were arrgomattes they understood. God Bless you all. "Jesus answered I am the way the truth and the life. "🌼🌻🦋💖
Thank you for your videos, god truly speaks through you
May God continue to bless you and the work you are doing. Can't wait for the next one. So awesome!!
I love that summary of Peter! And I love that Jesus doesn't always call the higher-ups but he mostly calls the outcast of society to play a big role in his kingdom. Thank you for sharing this message Brandon Robbins. I have a question, was Peter a descendent of Benjamin or from the tribe of Benjamin? I have looked in the Bible in it that it's not clearly say from what tribe Peter is from.
Jonah in the big fish story isn’t peters father since there wasn’t a phrophet in 400 years prior to the New Testament
It's hard for people trained in creeds n TEACHINGS of men to T8nk [ ] box
The best thing in life is that God sees all your mistakes and weaknesses, knows your imperfections and still thinks you're completely amazing!
@Cynthia Tate God Bless you!
It’s like he looks at us and sees Jesus. incredible.
And that is very comforting. He is truly gentle, and kind, and loving, and all forgiving. And he is showing us how we should strive to be like him.

Love these lessons to accompany The Chosen. Thank you for the work you put into each video. 🙏
I came across your teachings by “accident” and I need to say, thank you for putting the cookies on the lower shelf so we can all reach them, not that I’m uneducated but you teach on a level that we all understand.
I know that I personally will be reading my Bible in a different way
That's so awesome! I'm so glad they're helpful and easy to understand!
@@BrandonRobbinsMinistrygood job
I really like your comment I am always going to remember that "put the cookies on the bottom shelf so we can all reach them", that's amazing😊👍🥰
Beautiful. People always want to place the disciples above them and in reality they were imperfect souls made just like Jesus wanted them so he could mold them and they in turn become the influential leaders of his church. He wanted them to be able to connect to others.
@SwordOfTruth 🤣🤣 love it!
I am so glad Jesus didn't pick all perfect people to become His disciples. If H e had there would be no hope for any of us and we wouldn't learn that you can fail and still try it again until you get it right. I am so glad Jesus loves me
I am so glad He forgives me.
Lately, since the Chosen hit my life, I have been relating so much to Peter, and realizing that God really is amazingly gracious to me, so much I DON'T deserve Him!!! PRAISES to my 👑 King Yeshua❣️✝️🙏
You are right!! The Chosen does "hit" you and you can't stop watching and searching for every little piece, because you don't want to miss out on anything. 🙄🤔
Amen and amen when I came back to the Lord I felt exactly what you just described I learned also that the heavenly father was really my daddy and I did not have that relationship growing up you know a daddy that let me run into his arms and pick me up and just love me it wasn't until I was a teenager that my father got saved so when I came back to the Lord he filled in that Gap for me of what I did not have growing up as a little girl that was so phenomenal I just did not know God love me that much of course I knew John 3:16 of course I've studied the Bible been in Christian since I was 6 years old but I had been in and out of church as an adult so when I turn 49 looked at my life how messed up it was I quit blaming everybody else and held myself accountable and I realized how unworthy I was of God's mercy but I was so thankful for that very Mercy and I praise His holy name every day and thank GOD for it
@@karenking5357 ❤️🔥
I just loved how you described Simon Peter to us! You have such a way that's easier to understand with the Greek translations and Hebrew translations! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you Brandon, the way you explain and break down the ‘language’ barriers so we clearly understand is a gift ✝️❤️
In the study of Luke a few years back, I noticed it said Pilate asked a third time who the crowd wanted. Third time again the crowd denied Jesus and said Barabas. I got thinking of Peter's 3 denials and Jesus' 3 Do you love me ? God showed me it had to be 3. You can't just deny one part of the Trinity. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one. To deny one you deny all three. Thus, 3 questions of who from Pilate, 3 denials from Peter and 3 Do you love me from Jesus.
That's a fascinating observation!
@@madmanjim795 😇💯🖖🕊🖖💥
You see patterns too huh
He also preached for 3 years. Was on this planet for 33 years. 3 is a magic number
And with those 3 times he said he loves Jesus, he proved his love and it was cleaned, the part when he denied Him. It was also the way that Jesus proved to him:"it is all for given, don't eat yourself for your denial"
This is so beautiful so refreshing, the teaching about the beloved Peter, and how Jesus loves us dearly in spite of ourselves.
Dear Beautiful Brandon,
Thank you for your knowledgeable and sweetly compassionate descriptions.
Jesus smiles
This was amazing! Please do more of the disciples...Sons of Thunder James and John would be great
Awesome! Will do!

Thank you brother, a very encouraging word and much needed in this season of my life. I have always identified w/Peter (especially, in the bad temper dept.), but this in-depth study of him is an eye opener. I also enjoyed watching the video on Matthew. God bless.
Shalom.
Yes indeed , very encouraging words. I’m a new fan of his channel. It’s worth sharing to more people so as to make this world a better place to live 👍👏
“Peter made a deal to get extra shout outs” made me giggle out loud. Very good video.
😂 I laugh too and said I think Peter would make a joke out of that too
I've been a Christian since I was 9 & am now 64. God's love letter- The Bible has blessed my life for many yrs. However when I saw the 1st episode of The Chosen season 1 it changed my life.
I asked Jesus to let me see people like He sees them. He answered my prayer & this has blessed me every day since. There are so many hurting people who need to hear God's love for them through Jesus. I'm sharing The Chosen w/all those who don't know this GREAT LOVE!!! Thank all of y'all who are a part of this AMAZING PRODUCTION! After seeing these videos about the show I pray for y'all too as y'all tell God's Love Story.💞🙏😊
This is some of the best biblical content and teaching on this platform by far. Plain and simple for all too understand. Sort of reminds me of Jesus himself. Too many "Christian Scholars" want to impress us with their profound knowledge of the Bible and lose many of us on terminology that requires a dictionary to decipher what the message is! I love the simplicity of your explanations of things I glazed over while reading my Bible. Job well done Brandon.
What you have said about most scholars is so true. A plaque of what you said should be on the wall of every Christian college
Thank you for your loving way of sharing Simon Peter with all of us! Thank you for your knowledge around Greek! It was so very helpful! I can’t wait to learn more about what you have to say. Thank you for your love and thank you for loving the Bible in such a way that you share it with all of us!
Good job Brother! This is so appreciated. God continue to Bless your work to bring greater clarity to the apostles' lives. Encouraging our faith walk.💒
Thank you so much!
Yes. I cry every time even now when I read John 21. Most Powerful in my repentance and surrender to my Lord Jesus. He Loves me and you so. very much. He's jealous for us. Amazing.
Greetings from Poland. Thank you for this informative video. May the Lord bless you and your whole family
I’m so glad you enjoyed! May God bless you and yours as well!
Brandon, God bless you! Thank you for your encouraging words.
Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for watching! (All the way from Germany. I love that!)
My Husband Family came to the USA in 1604 now 104,000 +/- Canada 83,000 Scotland 93,000 and down under 81,000
As a Catholic I was deeply impressed with this talk. Thank you and God bless you Brandon!
I am also Catholic and agree 100%!
Peter was not the first pope.nero crucified him upside down in 68ad.Simon pater the sorcerer,who tried to buy the anointing the disciples in ACTS had was the first pope.Vatican comes from Latin vulgate Vaticanus.u been lied to
This is fun because St Peter is the first Pope.
This is even more fun cos Peter was not pope, nor ever in Rome.
@@geordiewishart1683
Oh really? You have been to Rome and know this for a fact? Go into the Roman catacombs and you will see grave after grave read: “resting near Peter”, “laying close to Peter”. One grave actually says: “here Peter rests”.
Are you so sure of your “facts”?
Really interesting...you do thorough and inspiring work. Thank you...
I don't know about anyone else, but I can't wait to meet the people in the Bible in heaven. Of course, I also will fall at the feet of Jesus in gratitude for loving me!!
Aloha from Hawaii 🙋 ❤ 🌺 Thank you Brandon for being a true blessing by sharing this information about Peter.
Having gone to Catholic school, I look to Simon-Peter in the series with very special attention. I see this brash, sometimes silly but harsh guy and just know - 'this is the guy who's going to become the first Pope. This is the leader of the Church. Woah.' Jesus certainly didn't use the 'best' people for their roles, but through Him they BECAME the best at their roles! Sounds like Simon and Matthew become friends in the end if Matthew speaks so highly of him lol.
I found it interesting when u said they ‘became’.. their best.. Yahweh(Jehovah,in English) actually means.. “Causes To Become”!❤️🙏🏼
Jesus built his church on the rock, and that's Peter. What a wonderful thing to be told that you are the rock that upon I will build My church!!!!
AMEN 🙏 ❤
It was his faith , Peter's faith he was talking about when stating " I will build my church upon this rock " not Peter the person , but his faith , it is the same faith as the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years ,
The roman catholic church is a pagan, antichrist cult and what you stated was just one of their many heresies. WHO IS THE ONLY ROCK? "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST (not peter)." 1 Corinthians 3:11
IS PETER THE ROCK?: "And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST." 1 Corinthians 10:4
Greek for "rock" is petros which means little rock or pebble
Jesus is the foundation, the only Rock .... "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets (whom God gave us His written Word through), Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (foundation)." (Ephesians 2:20) .... The term "apostles and prophets" refers to the Holy Scriptures that they were moved upon by the Holy Spirit to give us. It refers to the written Word.
WHO IS YOUR ROCK? Christ was not saying that peter or any mere man was the Rock .... that would blatantly contradict His own Word .....
There's no such thing as a "pope" in Christ's kingdom. Such a title or office appears nowhere in Scripture. Peter was a Jewish apostle of Jesus, not a pope of Rome. Peter wrote 8 chapters at the end of the New Testament canon and never mentioned that he was a "pope." Surely he would have known if he was the first "pope." Pure fiction. The office of the "pope" is the seat of antichrist. Run for your life.
All of these points are good, but #6 was worth every minute.
No. Protos simply means first.
proto-
/ˈprōdō/
combining form
prefix: proto-; prefix: prot-
original or primitive.
"prototherian"
first; anterior; relating to a precursor.
"protomartyr"
Origin

from Greek prōtos ‘first’.
This guy just MAKES THINGS UP.
Thank you so much for re-affirming the love of our Messiah and how Worthy He is to be praised.
Thanks for these insights.Greetings, from India.
I have been using you comments on The Chosen series as part of my showings of episodes at my church. People tell me they come to watch those as much as the episodes. They tell me they can stay hom a watch The Chosen, but they enjoy your explanations and background info too.
A question Brandon. When Jesus tells Peter "..upon THIS ROCK I will build my Church" wasn't Jesus referring to Peter statement "You are the Christ..."? He doesn't say 'Upon YOU I will build my Church". Isn't it Peter's statement "You are the Christ...." what is our Christian foundation NOT Simon Peter? We stand on Christ the Solid Rock, not Peter the expounder on the Gospel.
Thank you! I really look forward to your videos.
17/07/2121 A more in depth understanding of Jesus and His life may be gained by reading the writings of mystic Maria Valtorta, from Italy who wrote thousands of pages whilst confined to bed by disease.. Her writings are so descriptive re nature, weather, landscape etc so much so that places would be can be identified by her descriptions. There are so many non biblical stories in these writings they are impossible to refute! PETER the FIRST Pope gave up his life by being crucified but asked to be hung upside down as he didn't want to die the same as Jesus. Prayers for all to understand. God's bless from The Great South land; Land of The Holy Spirit.
Simon=shema=obey Like, SIMON SAYS!! Perfect! Thank you so much for these teachings- REALLY means a LOT
Wait, Maybe I have this wrong. Wasn't Peter's father, or uncle, involved with the Temple in Jerusalem? Had to do a turn of service there? Wasn't that why Peter was able to slip into an inner courtyard when the Sanhedrin had Yeshua? I understand the Galileans were considered rough people, Hill people, in that they were known for an 'independent' spirit, in that it was an area known for breeding rebels, many of them in the Jewish Wars. Peter's family and some of the Disciples, weren't they in the fishing cooperative on the Sea? All that suggests to me some literacy. ? Enjoying very much your fleshing out the time and the people!
It's been a very hard day. I needed this. Thank you. Please make more like it.
I’m so glad God blessed you with it
A couple of interesting points (perhaps you can flesh them out in future):
Jesus tells Simon, "you are Πέτρος"
04074 G4074 Πέτρος Petros pet'-ros
Apparently a primary word; a (piece of) rock (larger than G3037); as a name Petrus an apostle: - Peter rock. Compare G2786.
03037 G3037 λίθος lithos lee'-thos
Apparently a primary word; a stone (literally or figuratively): - (mill- stumbling-) stone.
02786 G2786 Κηφᾶς Kēphas kay-fas'
Of Chaldee origin (compare [H3710]);
the Rock;
Cephas (that is Kepha) surname of Peter: - Cephas.
03710 H3710 כּף kêph kafe
From H3721; a hollow rock: - rock.
(I can't help but notice the 3 7 10 involved, here ;-) )
Then says, "and on this πέτρα I will build my church..."
04073 G4073 πέτρα petra pet'-ra
Feminine of the same as G4074; a (mass of) rock (literally or figuratively): - rock.
There is an interesting contrast between the two words. Though one is the feminine of the other, one, here is defined as a piece of rock (even a hollow rock, from H3710), while the other is a mass of rock, and they were literally standing in front of a mass of rock. Also, in times past, that cave had been known as The Gates of Hell/Hades.
The second point is in that closing scene in the Gospel of John. The first two times Jesus questions Simon, He asks him if he αγαπας Jesus, and both times Simon responds by saying that he φιλω Jesus. The third time Jesus challenges Simon at his own level, asking if he φιλεις Jesus, and Simon responds that Jesus knows he φιλω Him.
I almost never hear any teacher address that last contrast. They just skate over it like it's not there.
Well, it looks like I might have given you 2 videos to do. But, as I wrote, above, "in future".
That’s great! I’ll look into it and plan to touch on it at some point!
That's interesting - I'll be diving into those differences (rock).
I was reading a commentary on the "do you love me" conversation. John had also interchanged these in 16:27 & 17:23. Makes it harder to know if the change is significant, but the 3 times would have certainly both reminded Peter of his denials, and given him the chance to reaffirm his love. Regardless, it was his call - if you love me, shepherd my flock. That moment had to be life-altering for him.
Before the denial - before Peter was so completely broken over denying Christ - he thought he was ready. In the passage in Luke, Jesus even reverted back to calling him Simon. He wasn't ready *yet*, but he would be. He would never forget that lesson & failure, or the call to shepherd, evident in 1 Peter 5. His absolute love was evident in the rest of his life.
Jesus is God and he made Peter the Rock and built his Church on him.... sometimes people don't get the most simple interpreted of the Bible but rather make it more harder to understand, they instead of saying and accept that Peter is the Rock that the Lord built his church on, they sidestep and say Jesus is Rock and Peter blah blah blah.... please dont mix up the interpretation because when God said this, he meant it, God is not a God of confusion, is the servant of confusion so Peter was referring by the blessed Lord as the Rock and he gave him the authority of his Church and the key etc
Thank you for your insights about Peter's relationship with Jesus. My husband and I sincerely appreciate your comments about biblical scripture in general, and in particular, in regard to "The Chosen". Please keep up the good work you are doing. Thanks again for sharing your inspirational comments Brandon.
Thank you so much! And thank you for taking the time to watch!
Cephas - the "s" is not pronounced in Aramic. It's pronounced Kay-fa'
Maybe Jesus said it in perfect Greek.
Thanks for the insight
@@onlinetrash Good one! LOL If anyone could He surely could. But this is for those who may be interested in the Aramaic. ;-)
Wonderful~ Keep doing deep dives for/ with us. These are a BLESSING!
wrong. petros does not mean rock. the feminine petra does. petros is the masculine form of petra
excited for this!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful word, as I sit in tears praising my Lord Jesus Christ for all of His goodness, love and redemption. This video has truly blessed me today for I too have been feeling alone and unworthy as I do my best to follow my Lord and Savior. All I want to do is share my testimony and the love of our Lord while constantly being faced with opposition but I stand on the word of God and I know He lead me to this scripture long ago, Matthew 16:18. Thank You Father God for Your grace and mercy,, love and goodness over Your people, I bless Your Holy name Jesus.
It brings me such joy to see that you are blessed by this. I am praying for you, Ruby, as you continue to share your faith in the midst of opposition.
Just for your information, Catholics are not Christians. Orthodoxes, Methodists, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, etc... aren't Christians either.
Why?
- Each of them have beliefs, teachings, ideologies and practices that are NOT in the Bible. A.K.A., doing what they want.
- It is impossible for Catholics, Orthodoxes, Mormons, Methodists, Jehovah Witnesses, etc... to end up in the same place (Heaven) if they all have different beliefs, teachings, practices, and ideologies.
For example, Catholics believes that Mary is a virgin, which isn't true. If you actually read the Bible (not the Catholic edition) you would know that Mary had other children with Joseph. Therefore, Mary was not a virgin.
- Mary is NOT the mother of GOD. Catholics praise Mary as if she is the creator and the mother of GOD. But, GOD doesn't have a mother, He created all humans, including Mary.
Mary was the mother of Jesus here on earth, that is it. She was just chosen from the other virgins.
- Catholics confess their sins to pope/priests instead of to GOD/family/friends/the person you hurt. The priest/Pope is not GOD, you can come to GOD directly.
- You guys have images/statues in your church of "saints", when clearly in one of the Ten Commandments it says in Exodus 20:4 says:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, *or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above* , *or that is in the earth beneath* , *or that is in the water under the earth" .
- You guys pray to an image of "Jesus Christ" when you shouldn't pray to any image or have any necklaces. Exodus 20:5 says:
*Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them* , *nor serve them* : for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
- You guys baptise children, when I think they should be baptised when they give their life to Jesus Christ, A.K.A. being a new creature in Christ.
- You guys have the 7 sins or something like that which ISN'T in the Bible.
- Etc...
@@TedEhioghae so ignorant. Could spend all day refuting this nonsense. But would you listen? Highly doubt it!
Wow, this touched my hart! Thank you Brandon!
That’s so awesome! Thank you for watching, Michael.
Someone as imperfect and flawed as Peter can be such a powerful instrument of the lord.
Thank you Brandon! Live your commentaries. Learn so much!
Thank you, @Cyd Hall
Didn't they have last names?
I love your analysis’ of the disciples names, etc.! Thank you!!
I don't know what faith you belong to. As a Catholic, I do know about the primacy of Peter. His primacy is continued through this day in the Pope. We can trace the line of our Popes all the way back to Peter, the first Pope. The Catholic Church is built on the rock of St. Peter, and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Praise the Lord!
wrong. petros does not mean rock. the feminine petra does. petros is the masculine form of petra
So in love with Jesus teaching. Admire so much those men that follow Jesus I’d follow Him too as I thrust Him today
The practice of using "_____ of/son of" carried throughout History. Scottish and Irish last names that start with Mac or Mc mean the same (MacDonald = Son of Donald)
Ronald son of Donald hmmm
Thank you for the video
just so you know...Jesus is the rock on which the Church is built, not Peter. Do some exploration of that passage, study the greek and put Jesus' statement in context please.

See also Daniel 2:44 to learn the meaning of the rock not hewn by human hands which grows and overcomes the man made kingdoms of the world. This rock is our Messiah. The cornerstone of the church. Christ's body is all those who make up God's true church.
@@TedEhioghae The Bible of which you refer to which is the Word of God, was compiled by the Catholic Church. Catholics are the Christian Church, the Church established by Jesus Christ. Man throughout history has proclaimed some heresies and differences of doctrine which culminated in the Protestant Reformation. All Catholics recognize the Protestant denominations that are trinitarian, in other words, the Catholic Church recognizes the one baptism into the Church proclaimed in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, using water. There are doctrinal and dogmatic differences beyond that, however, Catholics believe that all are saved through Jesus Christ according to God's judgment alone, and we can only know the Father through the Son. We have a very intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, through whom the Father is revealed. The purpose of baptism is far deeper than a choice or acceptance of Jesus. All children are created in the image a nd likeness of God, and therefore deserve to become members of His flock as soon as possible, as baptism sanctifies us and removes original sin, although leaving the effects behind (concupiscence). Many of your proclamations about the Catholic Church stated above are misconceptions, and dialoguing about the differences directly with a well-educated Catholic is best. Many Catholics do not know their faith, likely because there was a period in history when they were discouraged from reading the Bible, after the Protestant Reformation. This is no longer the case. We know the Scriptures very well, and to develop a deep, and intimate relationship with Jesus is best aided by His Word, as He is the Word (John, Chapter 1). God bless you, and I look forward to knowing you in heaven someday!

I’m glad! Thank you for watching!
I look forward to learning about the other apostles in your future videos. Your videos are well done & a nice length. I am learning & enjoying them. Thank you. God Bless you.
The revelation that Peter received regarding the identity of Jesus was a blessing ... but was not unique.
Look at the words of Martha (Lazarus’ sister) in John 11:27. Her words nearly mirror Peter’s.
I love it
Thank you for helping me!
These videos touch my heart. Thank you for following God"s calling on your life
