My favorite part in this episode is Zechariah’s Prophecy. At the end of the episode, after he names his son John, he begins to speak. And the words he speaks are verbatim is Luke 1:68-79. The writers have beautifully intertwine such an emotional scene of John’s death and birth together with God’s Word. 😢❤
I went to theaters to watch Season 4. It was the first three episodes the first two week, so it was a long night, but it was good. Time went by so fast. The next two weeks were episodes 4-6, then the final two weeks were 7-8. It was a good time with the Chosen community. This season is full of good moments as well as hardship. Can’t wait for the next one!! Thanks for doing a reaction series to the Chosen.
The man who told Jesus about John’s death was a disciple of John who encountered Jesus earlier. I love the detail of Matthew observing everything when Joanna told them about John’s death because Matthew recorded it in his gospel. Joanna and Andrew’s interaction broke my heart! 😭
The ashes upon his head or a sign of his mourning. I can’t remember if you already said it, But it was traditional in Jewish faith to put ashes upon your head and to tear your garments while you are mourning somebody.
Your thought provoking discussions, such as the laundry metaphors with Judas and Z, are loaded with insight. At the very end of the S4 E1 Livestream there’s a short clip of Dallas dancing for Herod ….. funny stuff
I'm so happy you're back reacting to "The Chosen." Unfortunately, I don't watch the other shows you react to. Abner was John's disciple. This episode broke me 😭. I wasn't able to see it in theaters, but it was so worth the wait. I always love your discussions afterward. .
Greetings Erika & Phil, I'm so happy to see you all back with more of THE CHOSEN reactions. As always, loved your reaction! You guys are spot on with the laundry symbolism, I loved it! Did you all also catch what JTB was laughing about when he inquired about the platter? I feel the writers were awesome and so anointed to hint at the fact that JTB found comical that although his physical head was about to be escorted to a banquet upstairs, his spiritual body (in his death) was about to transcend to HEAVEN for the heavenly gathering/banquet to be with GOD forever more!!! What other way could one encourage them self at the point of death by decapitation?! If you remember JTB was the first in the New Testament to refer to CHRIST as the Lamb of GOD, then GOD honors him be allowing him to see a lamb right before he is martyred?! In the words of CHRIST...*Matthew 11:11* Be Blessed in JESUS name!:)
Judas wanted Jesus to be the military leader that he thought the Messiah should be. He didn’t surrender to Jesus to do things the way Jesus wanted. Judas wanted Jesus to do it Judas’ way. He was a fan and not a follower.
Yeah, I know it's a bit frustrating to watch this way. But it's partly a requirement from TH-cam's copyright policies, and partly because we want to encourage people to watch the full episode on the approved streams + locations such as The Chosen app. We are not a market substitute.
@@PhilipManzano The Chosen is public domain, so it's not copyright infringement or illegal to play the full episode. Not to mention it is a huge insult to Dallas Jenkins generosity in making the Chosen available for free to everybody!!
@@angeladonohue4592 I can understand why it might seem that way to you, but encouraging people to watch the full episodes on the app or official youtube channel actually helps The Chosen more than simply showing the entire episode here. For example, prompting youtube to promote their content to more people. That's the best way to honor their generosity in making it free... by helping them achieve their goal of reaching more people

I saw all of season 4 in theaters as well I do think episodes 1 & 3 should of been watch separately both very emotional episodes
I agree. It was very emotional. I did a reaction video for it.

Oh my goodness I just realised in the last second of episode, you can hear a babies' coo 🥺🥺

Abner was the bridegroom from the wedding where Jesus performed his first miracle in Capernaum.
It is Avner, one of John’s disciples, who is bringing the news of John’s death to Jesus in this episode.

Avner was one of John’s followers that he sent to ask Jesus if he was the one or should they look for someone else.

great reaction!!! :)
Thank you!! 😁
I’m was confused by the “4 B.C” in the beginning because Mary was already pregnant.
MORREEEE
Avner was one of the two men who came to Jesus with a question from John is S3E6
💝💞
lezgaw!
am I seeing things? Zechariah = Zebedee

why are you chopping up the episode?!

Something that really disgusts me with Salome’s dance: her mother is getting him wasted and her dance was supposed to be hot 🤢 his step-child
What’s even more disgusting is that it was most likely worse in real life.
Jesus Christ is lord
