"You think you are so worthy? Let me tell you, you are not. That's the point." It still hit me hard to this day. That's the point of the gospel indeed.
Best quote
So true! That part spoke to me as well :)
Amen!
The funny thing was Jesus looked angry... LOL... I thought he only got Angry with the money sellers. I love the way Jesus is being portrayed.
@@onederment, hypocrisy and self-righteousness earned angry rebukes from Jesus often in the Gospels.
I only became a Christian going into lockdown, and was agnostic when I watched the start of season one. The show helped me so much. Can't wait to see more.
Welcome to the family. God Bless.
Thank you Jesus for Spex76! Thank you for your continued pursuit of him/her. Thank you for The Chosen who has helped Spex76 see Your goodness and love! In Your name we pray, Amen.
This is so cool! Praise Yahshua!
It is all about the Incarnation.
Welcome to the family!
that intro scene and the ending scene with John writing John 1 were truly stunning. Amazing writing and directing
I agree Duncan.....especially for me at the end when it flipped from John in the synagogue to John at his writing table, when that one word was spoken....I thought it was brilliant (and I think the word was actually "word"----but not sure will have to watch it again to be sure ;) )
Just re-watched it, its the moment when John and Jesus are choosing a scroll and John talks about what "word" means to the Greeks and it flips to John at the writing table, for that brief moment......brilliant!
Yeah, I absolutely love how the opening scenes connect with the ending scenes. Jenkins is a story-telling genius.
talking about humorous lines, I think it's hilarious Peter keeps referring to John the Baptist as "Creepy John" :D
As I recall, John was a bit creepy in the episode that we saw him in.
I didn't get the things that Peter said about John the Baptist only because this is taking place much later after Jesus has gone back to Heaven and after Pentacost. So Peter has the Holy Spirit and John the Baptist was beheaded. I can't imagine Peter still calling John "creepy John" and other derogatory descriptions so long after the resurrection and the beheading. He could have said those things before the beheading and resurrection, but at this later time, I can't see it.
@mariebodine9263 maybe it was "for the sake of remembering how we used to talk at the time" 😂 yk so that we have an 🤌accurate account 🤌 😂😂
My daughter and I openly howled when Jesus wanted the room that might be haunted by the grandmother. It’s this humanity that is so appealing. Great job by the whole team, writers, direction and actors, can’t get enough.
I laughed so hard as well..lol
"Oh! I want that one!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was so funny! 😆😆
@@glamorkid101 it brought so much humanity to the episode!
Same! It’s a shame my brother didn’t get to see it- I literally laughed so hard he’s so funny ☺️💕
When Andrew was repeating what John the Baptist said 'BEHOLD'...an Simon jumps in finishing by ' I Ate A New bug' 🤣
I liked that moment a lot too! haha
"Creepy John" 😁
That was my favourite line.
That was funny. They way they made Peter try to get in the camera view low key took me out of the story for a bit. Like I was thinking why he trying to get in the camera. Felt like a social media moment but was still funny.
😂😂
My favorite line was when Jesus said to Rama’s father, “ I ask a lot of those who follow me, but I ask little of those who do not...” 🔥
Do you think it was a subtle insult to Rama’s father even though that doesn’t seem to be jesus’ way?
@@foodieherrington605 I don’t think it was an insult. Jesus was pointing out that He has high standards for those who follow Him. Those who don’t follow Him won’t be held to the same standards.
Amen 🙏🏼
i have 4 siblings. my mother often say we were " jockeying for positions." Thanks Dallas.
“Tell me your story”. That line, his face, is still ruminating in my heart. I love Jesus, Wonderful Counselor.
Amen to that 😭
@Naofl - Jesus really cares about our “story” and He is the only one that knows our entire story♥️♥️♥️
Yes. And He understands our need to release and tell our stories freely/uninhibited. Thank you LORD
@@keeshabrown7353 yes! He gives us the respect to listen to our stories even though he knows it all.
@@keeshabrown7353 oh my goodness, yes! And in essence by telling our story, we inherit his; our testimony. Thank you Lord!
I appreciated Jesus repairing the cart axle. It showed him as humble instead of the new celebrity teacher in town. Kind of like washing the apostle’s feet.
It was as if Jesus enjoyed doing what he had learned growing up. Like Will Rogers always liked riding horses.
@@JRobbyShYes! And he did it (and all what he did, see Mark 7:37) very well, of course, as true God and true man, teaching us by his example how to sanctify our daily work and tasks, whatever they may be.
@@loremipsum2989 good observation! He did it so well that the person he was helping thought he could open a shop!
Jesus probably learned skills from His Foster Father, St. Joseph the carpenter.🙏✝️🌟🪴🌠❤️
Yet another shining example of showing His humanity. In all previous movies Christ is portrayed as stiff and unyielding. More as, in Dallas' words "celebrity preacher come to town."
Would Jesus had preached "love your neighbor" and then walked right by someone "but not him. F' him. He has a broken axel"?
Of course not! He would climbed under the wagon and fixed it, using the skills he learned from his father Joeseph. And been glad to do so.
"I came to serve, not be served."
Thank you Dallas for putting our Savior's humanity on display like no other film ever has!
I’ve watched episode one of season two like ten times. I cry at the end every time. The blend of the scriptures with Jesus speaking the beginning and John speaking the beginning is so beautiful to me.
Same! Watched it 5 times and planning to watch it again tonight. I also always cry at the end and loved the blend of the scriptures from Genesis and John. The show is divine
I cried too. 🙏
So good.
me too! :D i loved how many things I picked up with repeat watching
My favorite scene 😍
Lol! Watched it 5 times so far and now watching Season 1 again. Impatiently watching for ep 2
"Too soon?" and "Oooh I'll take that one!" are my favorite funny lines that you slip in. I absolutely enjoy hearing the humor. It's simple and subtle. But I also love that Jesus tells John, The Creation is one of his favorite memories. Again, it's slipped in and not made to draw attention to it.
Yes, that WAS BEAUTIFUL
Yes, I love how the humour and so much of the spiritual truth is not overdone and hammered. It’s gentle and often takes me by surprise. I also loved hearing Jesus say the creation was a favourite memory. Stunning!
Oh my goodness, that was an AMAZING LINE! I wasnt sure I heard it the first time. I asked my family, “Did he just say that was a good memory?” Perfect!
I may sound really dumb but I didn’t understand why Jesus said “too soon” 😝 Can anyone please explain?
I LOVED that part! I was watching this episode by myself and I texted my husband, "what would it be like for the Savior to ask you what to read for a sermon?" And he, who up to that point hadn't seen the show at all said, "I would totally suggest something! I would suggest Genesis 1 and ask Him to share personal experiences"
And that's totally what was suggested!! And when I told my husband that, he watched s2 e2 with me and now he's hooked. Haha! Such a good part!
I love how the disciples are afraid of ghosts. Really sets up Jesus walking on water
Yes!
I never thought about it like that!!!
Great observation!
Oh man, now I can't wait for walking on water lol.
And I laughed so hard when Jesus said, 'Oh, that's going to be my room".
I laughed so hard I cried😭😂😂😂, when Jesus told James and John , " So you wanted to use the power of God to rain fire on these people?" 😂😂😂😂. That was brilliant.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's my favourite line in this episode 😂😂😂
Yesssss!!
😂😂😂
I so appreciated that you could see sternness in Jesus face when he was chastening them...and then, how He transitioned to the softer side. It was palpable, and beautifully done!!
Those jokes by James and John were ad-lib????! I love how they get into the character so much and embrace the show so much that they help create it. So beautiful. 🙏🏼 God bless you alllll
I was delighted to hear that those actors were so comfortable in their characters that they had the impulse to include hints as to their feelings about the other apostles in their spontaneous Script generation! It helps make those relationships feel more fleshed out!
I agree, you can clearly see the Holy Spirit ordering each step of the way in this.. I love this ! I remember when you came to us in the beginning telling us your vision, it has gone far and above all my hopes.♥️
I discovered The Chosen last year during severe lockdown and it has been my best friend ever since. God bless Dallas and all the crew. My prayers for all of them.
The acting in this show is so amazing! Sometimes I forget that I'm watching a show and I feel like I'm watching the Gospels unfold right in front of me. God bless The Chosen!! 🙏☺
Me too💓
Me too. I Think Jesus speaks trough this movie to many hearts. Thanks to those actors and to the filmmaker!
And to those who donated.
God bless you all. Blessings in the name of Jesus Christ.
Me too. It's wonderful!
Dallas, you and your team have done an outstanding job , and Jonathan Roumie
and as far as that goes all the actors have done a superb job playing their roles, and you explaining each season is wonderful to the insight of why you put things together so well
I love the scene of Jonathan talking to the sons of thunder about bringing fire down from heaven, it just told the whole truth what Jesus came here to do, beautiful job! Well Done
Rule : don't use chat while watching new episode. Lol. You'll miss a lot. Put the chat down. Focus. Enjoy. Eat popcorn. 🤣
The people typing away in the Chat are also likely the people who talk and ask questions in a movie theatre.
Of course you can always watch it again over and over like I do!!
Amen !
I'll just say Hi and salute your comment 'cause you'll not likely see me in chat either😁👍
I can understand the impulse to interact with other fans about what we see. We are all starved for personal contact these days. But it is certainly true that typing out questions will actually interfere with the focused attention needed to process what is happening on screen.
Old movies about Jesus made him so pious that he was hard to connect to but this series makes him more relatable. Knowing that he was a man who is without sin but I’m sure that the enemy tried to attack him relentlessly because he knew who he was but even though he was attacked more than anyone in history he was still without sin and always serving others. The son of God
Amen
The Evil One takes pieces of truth and twists them or uses them out of context to get people to believe Good is evil and Evil is good. Jesus was condemned for blasphemy - a man claiming to be God. When He was indeed just that, and proved it by his miracles. And continues to prove it even today.
My favorite scene was John and James being rebuked and nicknamed "sons of thunder."
SAME.
Me tooo😂😂
“Well, when you put it like that.”-brilliant!
The scene where Jesus rebukes James and John and the moment where he laughs about the fire from heaven is also my most favorite part of the episode 😂 My second favorite is when they’re all like, “WE LOST JESUS WHERE IS HE???” and then it cuts to Him down in the dirt fixing someone’s broken cart 😂🥰
(Clears throat) Excuse me, have you found Jesus?
Only one question: How does a grown man get through even one episode without weeping? Thank you for presenting a medium that has stimulated so many parts of my heart! Shalom!
Weep away! You are being a great example for the boys and men in your life!! We are to come to Him as children and children cry (adults should too but...).
I'd say that speaks volumes about the quality of both the show and the person who is watching it. God bless.
You're comment just made me cry!! 💙😭
Tears show your heart. That’s a good thing.
Jesus wept. I’d bet more it happened more often than it was commented on in scripture. And He told us to mourn with those who mourn.
I like how you humanized the disciples, they were just like us, each with their own issues and yet Jesus chose them and was patient with them.
Hmmm-like how He is patient with me?
We tend to think we are picked for something [a job, a sport team] because of our abilities. Jesus chose people because of their weakness and willingness to listen. The main point of Trusting in Jesus is to let Him do the heavy lifting. We just set the stage.
@@christibritton4542 HAHA yess well said. I actually love that. He ain’t looking for someone who’s ready and perfect. He’s looking for those who will love Him. All the disciples love God except Judas but the rest loved Him enough to follow Him. That’s all Jesus and ABBA want and need surrendered hearts!!
me too, me too.
@@thekingdomhouseofdavids3164 I think Judas loved Jesus in his own way - that is why he says ' I have betrayed innocent blood' and hung himself, thinking he couldn't be forgiven. My thoughts have been that he was looking for a military leader, as were so many Jews of the time. That he misunderstood the miracles, and in knowing Jesus power to heal and raise dead thought that by turning Jesus over to Sanhedrin that he could 'force His hand' to make Jesus take the next step of showing His powers and bringing about the earthly kingdom, drive out the Romans and restore the Throne of David. Sometimes we get so invested in our desires and beliefs, that we miss the truth. Each of the disciples, even Peter, had a distorted vision of Jesus teachings. Judas' was the worst distortion, but God used his actions to display Jesus love and willingness to die for us.
As a 57 year old that has been in church my entire life and who has visited Israel, I can say that I truly feel this series is inspired by the Spirit. Everyone of us can see ourselves in one of these characters. I loved the way this episode began, with John writing and the ending was powerful. I can quote a lot of scripture and feel I know the Bible well. I have no desire to watch this show with scripture in front of me trying to catch a flaw. That misses the point. This series is a ministry. It is ministering to me and I can't say thank you enough. To God be the glory!
Amen!
Me too
The actor playing John was so absolutely phenomenal in the scene watching Jesus read the scroll at the synagogue. You can see in his face - he is amazed and awestruck, rebuked, forgiven, loved and just stepped into a revelation of who Jesus is. I’d love to see the BTS or commentary how the actor prepared for this scene. (But also, maybe not. Will it ruin the magic? Aaack I don’t know what I want! haha) All I know is I played this scene over and over multiple times. It was breathtaking!
I'd love to hear about this scene from "John", too. I think it's my favorite scene so far. (although I loved the calling of Matthew, too)
I just read an article, why I'm here, that the actor said Dallas told him to just be proud in the scene. But then Roumie looked at him while reading the scroll and he just started welling up and trying to stop himself because it wasn't the direction he was supposed to go, but that one tear got past.
I loved how Jesus turned around & gave John that “this-is-what-you-get-when-you-remain-calm-polite-humble” look 😂 as soon as the Priest invites Him to the temple to read. I love how such attention is paid to the details❤️
I think Mary feels kinda bad that Matthew is kinda being left out by the other disciples. She gives out a big sis vibe
Agreed. I think she sees the great potential in him that Jesus sees and has a tender heart for his treatment.
@@melindamercier6811 Definitely
Mary, as the Mother of God has special insight. Thank you Dallas for portraying this! She is all love and all compassion.
@@ajyyoung3263 erm she is talking about Mary of Magdalene
I noticed that too
As a believer in God my whole life (I am 66) I always wondered why God would exclude other religions that didn't believe that Jesus was the only way to him. So I thought there must be many paths to God.
The times we are living through right now have made me doubt my attitude. Watching the Chosen has made Jesus real to me. I am going to explore my faith more by finding a church to attend and start reading the bible. I am thoroughly enjoying the show and not comparing it to scripture because I know so little of the bible. I can't thank you enough for making this series. You have brought me closer to Christ our lord and savior.
Jesus saying “oh, I’ll take that one” in response to the “haunted” room was my favorite!! I laughed out loud, rewound it, watched it and laughed and loud again. Every time I think of the scene, I smile. It was perfect! I am so glad you left it in. And I was thankful for the scene afterwards - not because I felt it was necessary to explain things, but because it taught a wonderful truth about God’s timing. Thank you.
Abe Martell was stellar as Big James - loved his acting and his chemistry with John was brilliant.
I like him better, tbh!
Still miss Kian tho 😔. I loved his goofiness
Also loved how you showcased to us that not everyone gets their healing instantly. Some people have to WAIT like Melech got healed the next day and we need to understand & accept that😇
Also, for some of us, salvation was a journey. The first time we heard about Jesus was not when we got saved; salvation came later as we studied Scripture and got to know Jesus.
Awesome reminder that delay is not denial❣️
LOVE our JESUS and The Chosen forever❤️❤️❤️✝️
Reminds me of a saying I've heard before: Salvation happens once, but not all at once.
I want to add something if you do not mine. After 50 years of reading scriptures and having a personal relationship with Jesus, I want to say I have never been more excited about following Jesus than I am now. This production has made me realize how human Jesus and the disciples were. I am praising God for the characterization of these followers. As a writer myself I am honored to see how your ability to do this is truly a gift from God. We are loving this and I am thankful for Karen Kingsbury in letting us know this existed when Season 1 was available. We are grateful and are passing it on to others to see. This is really what I was hoping I would see. The humanity of God. Be blessed and thank you for sharing your gifting.
“Too soon?” Was a great line, but hands down my favorite was, “Ooo, I’ll take that one.” 😂
I agree, that one had me laugh out loud, the bedroom choice. 🤣
Nope, my favorite was a few moments later when Photina says that Jesus is not afraid of ghosts, then Andrew steps into the house and says, "But I might be." That cracks me up every time!
I loved that line, too! What a great line! Super writing!
Honestly, the synchronized stare that Andrew and Peter do when they look at Matthew as he tells the group in the table that they lost Jesus always makes me chuckle.
Yes!!!
I just discovered The Chosen and I am glad I did. It humanizes Jesus and His disciples more than anything else I have seen in my soon to be 67 years. God bless you! I will keep watching.
Amen
This who think of the Gospels as “biography” will be bothered by the story telling here. Modern biography makes a claim to exactitude that cannot be sustained. We do not “really” know what Abraham Lincoln was really like despite the thousands of works written about him.
Agreed, the Chosen's portrayal of JESUS and the disciples is so unique and relatable you just feel like you are with people you know and love and can relate to. I couldn't get enough of it when I first "discovered" it. You just want it to go on and on forever.
And congratulations on your upcoming 67th Birthday. Imagine a Chosen-like JESUS coming to eat birthday cake with you that day😇🌹🌹🌹✝️
Happy Birthday!!
It’s amazing because the writers humanize Jesus. But, he comes across as more divine because he is fully man/fully God. It’s amazing how the writers and actors were able to capture that.
I laughed out loud, for five minutes when Jesus was excited to take the haunted room. It was my favorite
“I’m a man, John.” “I Am Who I Am,” in the next beat. That’s the Incarnation, right there. So Beautiful.
The Torah room scene was phenomenal. "Favorite memory"
Yes! God and man in one.
My favorite part of Season 2, episode 1, was the giddiness and joy exhibited by the lady who was at the well. Brings tears of joy to my heart. TY
Same here. She was truly redeemed. Gives me much hope 😌
Absolutely love this show. Jonathan Roumie is magnificent as Jesus, my favourite live action portrayal of Him.
Now when I think of Jesus, the image of Jonathan comes immediately to mind!
Absolutely. Everyone else in their roles does a fantastic job as well!
@@jpg101363 Same with me 😄
He’s just amazing. I keep forgetting he’s not Jesus lol
@Pat Lance Pat, please don't misunderstand me. I am NOT worshipping an actor!! However his portrayal of our Lord is such that I could easily imagine Jesus actually being this way. I think it is very hard not to imagine Jesus in a particular way. Obviously we do not know what He actually looked like but we can imagine how He interacted with the people around Him through reading the Gospels. I believe the Holy Spirit is using the Chosen to enhance our understanding of Jesus and the Gospels. Believe me, I am NOT praying to Jonathan Roumie. I pray to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Son of the living God!! No matter what He looks like!
My favorite part is when Jesus says "I am a man". People forget that He was also a man in every sense and He had all the characteristics of a man.
I love how he delivered that line, and then the moment where John is a little mesmerized right after he says "I am who I am"
It was a clever bit of subtle Christology to follow up that important truth with a clear claim to Godhood. To say in the hearing of a Jewish man in that time “I am what I am” was to invite the dangerous connection with the actual name that God gave Moses at the burning bush. But that claim was far from an isolated incident in Jesus’ ministry...
@@brittapetersen6872 Yes! I had tears dropping al throughout this episode, especially the relationship building with John,"the apostle whom Jesus loved".🤗 I love that is emphasized, And how John shared with Jesus the thinking behind JOHN 1:1 and JOHN 1: 14☝️.....That tugged on my heart on just how great it would of been being knowing Jesus during His ministry,....AND knowing He loved you dearly as a friend and brother! I can't wrap my head around that privilege
@@andreanewell628 Exactly! Claims such as "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him..." (John 8:58,59).
Yes HIS humanity is so precious yet without sin no darkness in Him That is who Father God is Holy yet so absolutely loving not at all soft on sin but loving the sinner so much willing to die on a cross I bless the day when I was born again Such grace and mercy overwhelms me completely All the actors have made an impact on everyone I know God bless them all
Very good acting when the father had to leave the daughter . Her emotions and tears were so innocent and genuine. Really great job
The actor who played the father did a superb job displaying the concerns and confusion a father in that situation would be going through.
@@51crow I agree . Yes . Really made you feel their situation and the weight of leaving eachother. Was very good
I loved the natural mother son relationship between Mary and John.
I never get tired of watching this show and I don't normally like rewatching things. I like every single episode. I don't know if I have a favourite episode.
I’m with you, I very rarely ever watch anything more than one time but I have to admit I have watched season one at least five times and I still need a box of tissues sitting beside me even though I know what the next scene is.
I love it all, but my favourite scene is when Matthew is called.
@@spex76 , That is my very favorite scene in season one! It gives so much meaning to all that has gone before!
AGREED Family! I love that The Chosen compliments the new testament beautifully. Dallas even tells us to read your Bible, don't only rely on this to feed you. But it softens my heart and paints every scene that would be difficult to do if I only prayed while I read it. I cannot imagine how each episode can get better! I'm excited to see how Paul will get introduced 🤔🙏. Peace and love in our Lord Jesus Christ and our God the Father☝️
Amazing episode. The scene with Jesus ,John and James after their encounter with samaritans was epic!
Absolutely! Just think of getting frustrated with some people now a days, & Jesus asking, so you want to call fire down from heaven? 💖
@@jo-annejaynes4801 great acting by Jonathan! Fire from heaven? 🤨🤭
Loved that scene❤️❤️❤️I can watch it 100 times more and still won’t get tired 💕
@@senorita1983hbl same !
@@VladScousov That divine soft compassionate look on Jesus’ face. People threw stones at Him, mocked them, spat on them but He remained so patient and calm (treated like that being Son of God yet no guile) & stopped even His disciples from fighting back - He marvelously portrayed the true nature & character of God ❤️
The scene of the thief was the most innovative and creative story telling I have seen in an interpretation the gospels.
Yes, complex, unwinding and really caught me. Gorgeous
I agree. Everyone has heard about the Good Samaritan but has anybody ever thought of the other characters involved. And to see that Melek carried that guilt around for years until Jesus said He didn’t die, and with the joke afterwards was like a huge “You are forgiven!”
Dallas, thank you for putting in the Shiva in the scene with Mother Mary and John. I looked it up to find out what it was and learned that it was the 7-day mourning period for a loved one in Jewish custom. I learn so much from each episode and then I share what I’ve learned with others. Praise the Lord.
Yes ☝️
Matthew's aging 14 years after Pentecost had me rolling.
me too! 🤣
Yah, let himself go a bit here, or he likes that burly look. I think ha had also changed his fancy duds in for something a little more apostle like.
Loved the big bushy beard!
His beard though
it would have been more like 18 years or so
Dallas, you're being used.........
To spread the Gospel one final time!💟🙏
Yes I cried, yes I laughed. One thing really stood out to me is when Jesus winked at the man he healed. It was such a wonderful idea.
Dallas, it really resonated with me when you stated "that story is dead now" in regard to the Samaritans past actions. The devil is persistent in reminding us of our past actions/sins and thus we feel shame when those glimpses cross our minds. This is not how Jesus wants us to live. Moving g forward, when this happens, I will recite to. Myself "that story is dead". Thank you and God bless.
16:05 like with Kofni, the acting is Next Level excellent. I am blown away by the authenticity reached by these actors
Am happy that Mary is giving Matthew some love. He's really thrown by Thomas & that's going to make for some interesting friction.
"Behold..." "I'm eating a new bug" *I died.*
This line has been in my head for the last week non stop. That and Jesus saying "Oooh I'll take that one" when the man said the room was haunted.
Dallas, I have been a believer for over 45 years! I know the Bible very very well, and I get what you're saying about how some believers watch the show and don't seem to enjoy it as much due to trying to figure if the scenes is accurate to scripture, (I think that's what you're saying, anyway!) I learned early on, in the first season, how I should watch THE CHOSEN, and I am really enjoying the way you've written the "possibilities" of how some events may have occurred, and I don't think that you are changing or adding to the historical context that changes what scripture talks about. In the end, I see CHRIST being glorified, and at times I am moved to tears as I see the truth of scripture revealed in the scenes. Clearly you have labored to make sure that THE CHOSEN is not just another "Hollywood hit piece" about JESUS! It is a film written from the heart of a true believer who truly loves JESUS CHRIST and honors GOD'S Word! Thank you!
I agree. I’m kind of a bible tete, like I read it not just to hear the Lord but for fun, from I was a little child, but the talent, the gifting God has given you guys as writers to bring out truths thru your storytelling blows my mind, to the point that I feel that the Holy Spirit is in this somehow. I could go on and on. The thieving Samaritan, I mean, who’d have thunk! Vs the Good Samaritan!?! Brilliant!
Just watched it last night! In tears and so grateful for Jesus' presence all over it!! Thank you for the great price you pay at His feet and in life.
Don't you think we will enjoy praising HIM and worshipping around the throne?!? See you there!
4:00 When "little" James says He missed Jesus, I Cried so hard I think I wailed, it hit me in the feels. And I was properly impressed with myself when I was uncovering it was Nathaniel. Really great TV! And I didn't recognize John so that was a nice surprise. And Hallo and welcome to Matthew's Beard!
I think they were mourning Big James.. as mentioned by Dallas in this video..
@@annjoseph5429 yesss ❤️
@@annjoseph5429, yes, they were mourning Big James. And little James was also remembering his first meeting with Jesus and responding to ten years or so of missing His physical presence.
@@andreanewell628 about 14 years based on the date of James martyrdom
Actually, I’ve been surprised at how much I’ve appreciated by watching any of the episodes the second time! The acting, writing and meaning opens my eyes and it’s almost difficult to put into words. It becomes more than I took in watching initially. I almost feel like the character of the woman at the well - “I’m going to tell EVERYBODY!”
I felt like there was a lot of tension in this whole episode that was really palpable. But it was cut with humor and emotional moments. I loved it.
This show is so beautifully written. The acting is very powerful. We absolutely love it!! Thank you cast and crew for all of your hard work. God bless you 🙏❤️
I agree Dallas, stepping back to just watch, absorb and enjoy has been great for me. I've actually turned off the chat to help with the distraction as well. This show has been such a blessing to me, brought me so much closer Jesus during a very trying time in my life. Thank you for following Gods direction for your life 🙏
One of my favourite scenes was when Jesus woke up "hearing" the laughter of Melech and his family. His love and joy for us is amazing!
Thanks Dallas for your comments!
AND His omnipresence is mind-blowing!
@@kmbn1967 Well, He IS God after all :-) !
@@janet-Spirit_of_the_Living_God yes He is indeed!
I will continue to “pay it forward” as the series continues. The show is so good. Keep up the great work.
Dallas, I so laughed when Simon was “describing” Jesus when he was looking for him! “He’s this tall, with a beard.” 🤣🤣🤣
Hmmmm, probably described half the men in town! Thanks! 😁
Love y’all! Jesus has given you a talent that some people don’t have! Happy Sunday! ♥️ NEXT EPISODE 4/13/21!!!!!
God willing :)
So excited for the next episode! Each episode is better than the last and they ALL are amazing!! Best series ever!!!
I see they shifted it 😗🙄
I absolutely loved the beginning of this episode! You could feel the emotion of John and how he wanted to capture everything. Mary and John talking at the end together was the kicker and my tears just flowed. I love the gospel of John. Whether it did or didn’t happen that way in real life, you guys made this beautiful and real to me. I loved it! This episode was amazing and I can’t wait to see what happens next! Thank you!
Ya know I thought to myself, "Man, Dallas went a little light on the 99 thing when Jesus was talking in the city", then you brought it back around at the farm like a right hook to the soul. OMG. My wife and I were both in tears. Had to pause it and take a little breather. Then you finish it off with Jesus' "Too soon?" line so we're laughing with a face full of tears.
It seems like every episode there's a moment when the Holy Spirit works through you, your writers, and your actors and you so well NAIL it. It brings the Spirit into the room like the Kool Aid man coming through the wall (but we're okay with the hole in the wall because it was awesome).
Thank you for continuing to truly broadcast the seeds. By far the finest thing available in media today.
I prefer to watch each episode first without distraction, so I hide the chat when watching the live premieres. But afterwards, I love hearing things like this. More, please! I'm so glad you decided to continue it.
Saaaaameee!
Happy Sunday to you all! The show is sooooo good and is such a blessing.
What a great beginning scene, so creative. The jokes were great. The episode was amazing. I’m bracing myself for the last supper, crucifixion and resurrection. I’ve got tears now just thinking about it.
It's an incredible episode, chocked full of Easter eggs & poignant moments. That single tear of John's got me & out of nowhere. So far, John has been the tough guy, now jockeying with Simon. So many exciting & curious moments ahead. Such a brilliant, deeply entertaining series.
The first season of a tv show is usually the shakiest. Your first season was exceptionally good, imagine how great the show will be once it finds its footing.
The only reason people tend to think first seasons are shakier is because the viewers aren’t familiar yet with the characters. It’s not that the writing suddenly gets better, it’s that the viewers start caring more, so everything that happens has more impact.
@@TheChosenSeries I disagree. Most shows are under pressure from a network to become a hit right away or they risk getting canceled. The result is that decisions are made that probably wouldn't be made if that pressure wasn't there. I've seen many shows canceled after one or two seasons because they didn't "hit the ground running" so to speak. It's too bad because I think many of them had potential. Your show is different because that pressure is not there. You have a freedom that other producers don't have. You also have a framework for how the entire series will play out which many series don't have. Therefore, you can fully develop characters and still have continuity in story. Other series tend to change directions after one or two seasons. You don't have to do that.
This show is just holy and sublime ❤️
I agree! ✝️
I was amazed that you found one of the robbers that attacked the Jew on the road. The one that a Good Samaritan came along and helped. His redemption was beautiful!
I hope for the same for Kafni!
Yes, wasn't that great...as it shows us God knows both sides of every story and he cares for the people on both sides.
I love how Mary is looking out for Matthew like the way a caring big sister would.
The character of Jesus is so believable it reduces me to tears. I’m so desperate to see and touch Jesus it hurts my hearts.. the chosen really helps with this desire. Watching the chosen helps to ease my loneliness it gives me hope. Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏽
Thank you Dallas for your comments on Season 2 Ep 1. My joyful response to every scene in the episode is all-encompassing, as my whole being embraces the brilliant weaving of dialogue into scenes that are performed with such sensitivity by the actors that the layers of the story bring a depth of emotion that causes my heart and spirit to rejoice and praise God again and again with tears!! 💜🙌🙏
I love it when Jesus picks up the first scroll and he says that's a favorite memory of mine to show you that He is the Word He was in the beginning. That also resonates with the beginning of the book of John
I'm terrified watching each episode that the actors egos or the production artistry will be put ahead of The Word. Then I'm moved to tears by the Spirit with every episode.
Watched it a few times. Afterwards I realized who they were speaking of in the opening. What threw me was Mary calling " John" son..... Dallas this was well filmed.. Thank You🙏
I dare say that interaction was especially hard on people who are less familiar with scriptural details like the last words of the cross. But what a meaningful context in which to learn such things!
@@andreanewell628 I guess I was like the two deciples; Jesus was walking with them, and they had no idea who he was, until he broke Bread.....
It took me a whole moment to realise it was John. I was thinking it was His brother James or Jude.
I love watching the episodes again and again. It becomes so much a part of me that it is then easier to share it with others. I have a learning Disability. I don't always process information accurately the first time and that can cause problems. I want to get things correctly.
I screamed in joy to watch season 2 episode 1. I think there were moments I maybe danced around the house. I love the chosen, it has blessed me as someone who had a lot of self worth issues and health issues. I have been a Christian for 15 years and a diehard christian for the last 8 years. Watching something so drawn to explain the characters of the books we read from the word helps us see how they go through everything walking side by side with the messiah. I cried because daily sometimes I ask God how he sees me. And the episode of he sees you just made me cry. The devil has tried to get me to see my life in a crippling way and this show has taught me to see things with a new perspective. And God has been healing me emotionally and little here and little there physically.
I appreciate tv shows that treat the audience like adults and let them figure some things out for themselves.
The more we watch each episode the more is revealed to us. so many tidbits and little nuggets hidden to find just like Gods living word !! such a great series the best we have ever binge watched !! we watch each episode at least 3 times💗💗💗
It is a bit like the Bible in that way. The more you read, the more you discover.
I love the humour in this series. Keep it up. I’ll get over myself if I find I’m offended
Dallas, as you are talking I’m looking at the set and remembering the heart wrenching video you did as you were trying to start on season 2. Having to deal with the pandemic travel restrictions, mask mandates, and a nasty virus seemed unsurmountable! What a great God we have. We prayed and He answered with volume! We saw an impossible situation and He gave us a beautiful answer! And look what we ended up with......a magnificent season two! I know how, actually I can only try to imagine, how incredibly hard you worked. Thank you. You, your family and the entire cast and crew remain in my prayers for a strengthening and renewing. May God bless you all!
I love Melek new favorite character really loved how you wrote in the good samaratin one of my favorite parables
Im not sure how many will take this, especially since I'm catholic... but I dont just see this for the historical perspective im reignited by the parables you use to bring the word to life. Your not taking away from it nor adding to it, but making it clearer and definitely understandable to many. The modern language or situation makes this so relatable... and again helps us know Jesus. I love the side of this man & our God Jesus... thank you all.
Yes, the modern language adds, because it is not so foreign or ancient that we can't relate to or understand it.
Hi Wes. What did you mean by "especially since I'm catholic"
@@michaal105 just how I know protestants do not think Catholics follow scripture. So I'm sure some would love to argue the points... this is one of those arguments that I can see someone throwing sola/solo scriptura at the comment.
Keep in mind that the Bible teaches against following another Jesus. Some examples of this within the catholic church.... Purgatory implies that Jesus death, burial and resurection were not enough to atone for our sins. Also the Bible teaches that idol worshippers will not inherent the Kingdom of God. Worshipping Mary for example, is idol worship. Praying to the dead is necromancy, which is forbidden by God.
Please read your Bible and head God's warnings. Take them seriously. Your eternal life and where you spend it depends on it.
Don't be so loyal to a person, church or denomination that you lose your soul. I say this with love and concern. God bless. 🙏
@Turtle EXACTLY! But somehow without knowing catholicism they believe we do... ta daa... you have a lot to learn MaryBeth... I will ask Mary to intercede on your behalf.
Thank you so much, Dallas, for giving us some insights on the Season 2 premiere episode! I pray for the continued success of The Chosen in spreading the word of God.
My favorite was Jesus disciplining John and Big James! The strong yet loving way He checked them,. Oh... So wonderful!! THAT IS MY GOD!!
The sadness in Jesus’s eyes as her father was walking away , like a lost sheep.. that I felt connected with in my own life.
13:04 watching Kofni say "I can't give you my belief but I am giving you my Daughter!" And then watching Jesus recognise what a big deal that is. Wow. And as a side note. When Kofni walks away to Rhema you can hear the sounds from the street, I really love that it was added in.
Jesus' saying "Ohhhh I'll take that one..." WAS THE FUNNIEST line on the episode. I laughed so hard I had to pause watching.
Agreed! It was my favorite as well. Even if it was on the edge.
Not to mention Jesus' expression!
Yes, that was great!
I LOVED the way you guys started and ended this episode. Very powerful.
Morning 😀😍
I'm so in love with this show!
Good news my husband and I are getting baptized today, was so upset thought it would never happen! Just yesterday I spoke to my husband and I agree not everyone will believe and follow..I feel that the line has already been drawn and those who believe believe and those who don't aren't going to change. .I'm ready and waiting for Jesus !
Big love and Shalom 😍
There’s rejoicing in heaven when baptisms occur! Blessings on this very special day in your lives💕
This is an excellent very meaningful addition to season two and I am glad that Dallas plans to share his reactions to each episode. For whatever reason, I found the brief scene when the Samaritan family comes to synagogue to be incredibly moving. :)
I love that Jesus is not afraid of the “haunted room.” That was great and the follow-through was perfect.
the end of the episode was my FAVORITE, it was SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL how it portrays john's journey throughout the episode and the deep impact Jesus had on John by the end of the episode, and how it affected John's gospel. SO PROFOUND AND SO BEAUTIFUL. I loved loved loved the flash forward in the beginning. There's such a depth and maturity to the show in this season; just when i thought - how can it get better than season 1?? :)
I’m always telling my little sister before watching a new show ... “don’t ask....It’s new to me too!!” The ride is a BLAST. Every unexpected twist, Easter egg, hint, etc. is what always makes this show a GOOD TIME. I’m finding that it’s more fun to watch the series through and just “let it happen” instead of trying to understand every little thing in every moment. You can always rewatch it, but even just understanding the basics of the storyline alone is so thrilling. I picked up on a lot of exciting things in episode 1.
Watched season one at least 3-4 times each. Every time caught more & more little things I missed. So grateful for all of your blood sweat & tears. I believe Jesus is being lifted up, & millions will be drawn to him. 🙌🏼
Each time I watch I find something new, a new thing revealed to my heart.
Yes, people drawn to Him is the main thing!
.". millions will be drawn to him"
@@inTruthbyGrace Multiple millions have no idea of God or His Son
Just maybe people will get a Bible & read to find out if there is a God or a Savior. 😢 you don’t see the potential to reach so many for His kingdom.
I like when he said to her, “Matthew will take care of that part.”
I'm enjoing every moment - it's so precious to see/realize all the allusions to Scripture. Makes me love THE LIVING WORD more...
I LOVED the whole way this episode went... it was just lovely.
