Hi from China, We love the ones whom the Lord chose, yesterday, today and in the future. may every knee bow down and every tongue confess, Jesus reigns
John had to have grieved the deaths of his brother and fellow Apostles. But oh the goodness of God, while in the Patmos prison, God gave him the vision of all the martyred saints in Revelation 6:9-11 in their white robes, resting with Jesus. He got to see them all in heaven!!!
My heart is so full of gratitude for the effort and commitment of the Apostles and the early church that I have the privilege of being able to read and know the Gospels. Thank you Jesus. Thank you to all the Saints. Thank you Brandon
I’m one minute in and tearing up! The Chosen has put a face to a name, I know they are actors, but it makes it real. I don’t want to think of how they died terrible deaths, but I’m grateful for all they did ❤
I definitely look at the disciples in a different way now , with such a gratitude, can’t imagine what they endured to follow Jesus and spread his gospel 🙏🏼.
In I Corinthians 7:1-5, Paul tells them not to deprive each other sexually except by mutual consent for a time so you may devote yourself to prayer but come together again, so Satan will not tempt you to sin because of your lack of self control.”
@@beverlyking3557no Paul was writing to husbands and wives. There is no mention of specific practices. To concern oneself about this subject…is slightly concerning.
Ever since my? Wife had her C Section She's had back issues and we Haven't hardly had sex at all. Part of me thinks she scared because of what she went through. I really miss her a lot. But because of it, you got Addicted to porn and masturbation. I'm trying to stop with the Lord's Help
Hi Brandon, I'm Jane & live in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. I have been watching The Chosen since the beginning .I watch everything relating to the Chosen and love the deep dive you get into concerning not only the Chosen, but especially about the characters in the bible. Thanks and God's blessings always 🙏 ♥️
Hi Brandon! I put my deposit down today for the tour plus the extension! I will be traveling alone on the tour, coming from Oregon. I am SO excited. I saw one of your other videos once where you led a tour group, and I sighed "I wish I could go on one of his tours someday. It probably won't happen, but a girl can pray and dream about it." I can't wait to meet you and my tour mates! I hope I am one of the first 25 to sigh up!! God bless you and your family!
As you were saying what happen to them my heart just felt such sadness, the chosen has brought the Bible to life for me. So I truly appreciate things like this that you do. Really appreciate it. I can’t wait to hear details about the trip next year ❤
Thank you for all these details and some of them i didn't know. I'd like to share that recently i learnt that the spear that pierced Jesus's body is in Turkey. And along the years i've learnt about Jesus's travels. There is more than we thought.
I'm so glad I got to watch this video. It was so informative, and mind blowing, and knowledgeable. These men truly loved Yeshua, and died for the truth, The Gospel. I hope to become stronger in my faith, and continue praying that Father I Am places me where he wants me to be. To God Be The Glory. Thank you for this video. ❤
Hi Brandon, Annette from Alberta, Canada. I soo appreciate your lessons! I never could understand the bible, but your clarity in explaining it has made me understand how important and relevant it is even today. When I watch the Chosen, I always check out your video afterwards explaining the episode. Without you, I would have missed so much. Thank you thank you thank you!
Hello from Indonesia, i really love watching the chosen bc you guys make it better than all the testament movies, I know this is a series and compared to all testament movies, the chosen is better one
@Brandon, thank you for what you do. I have not read my Bible in a long, but something has been keeping me up to go back to it since last week and I have decided to do that today starting with the book of Mattew ,my chosen favorite apostle. I can't stop saying oh my poor Matthew with the way he died. Putting a face to it is drawing me back to God and am forever grateful.
Thanks Brandon. I have been wondering about the deaths of the disciples. It is really sad that most of them died awful deaths because of their beliefs.
I was watching a long video about the death of the Apostles. What I don't understand is that the gentleman narrating the video indicated that all the Apostles , prior to their executions, were teaching that women should be celibate, even in marriage. Of course the men did not like this and that was a big part of the reason that the Apostles got killed. I don't understand this teaching of being celibate in marriage. Does anyone have any idea where the person was getting this idea from. I don't know the name of the gentleman but he is that guy that watches the Chosen and I have seen him many, many times throughout watching The Chosen. He is bald. I don't know his name. I am just a bit disturbed by the teaching that the Apostles would teach celibacy in marriage. Anybody have any ideas about this????
Hi my name is Lynnette. I think I'm trying to speak to Brandon? The person who went over all their deaths. I was just curious about their teaching. You indicated that they were teaching women should be celibate even in marriage? Even the Apostle Paul said, pretty much if you can't control yourself then get married. Not getting married would be better because God always comes first, but if you had to then marriage was better then basically messing around. So there was a reason for marriage. Of course people fell in love and I don't mean to make it sound so impersonal. That not what this is about. I'm more curious about the Apostles teaching that women should be celibate in marriage. I have never heard that nor do I understand it. Gosh if you wanted your husband to cheat on you that's a good way to start down that road. God gave us marriage for a reason. Why would God take away such a beautiful gift?
*_Amen! The Word is still spreading!_* AND the *_Age of Miracles_* never ended. Ask and you will receive! Time to kick the ministry into High Gear... 😎♥✝🇺🇸💯
HELLO! My name is Helen and I'm from Virginia, USA. I love your programming before and after episodes, but today I know is special. I've always wondered how the lesser known deciples past. So sad, to be sure.
Oh my goodness!!! This trip you are going on sounds amazing!! What a blessing to witness all the places that are connected to the disciples!!!! I’m praying 🙏 over your trip so faithfully. I would never be able to afford to go, so I will live through your experiences and journaling. Blessings!!!
Cheers for this....Matthew in "the chosen" is my favourite followed so closely by both Andrew and Simon/Peter...it's so extremely sad how they died and quite horrific...and beyond all this, the history is just so amazing and interesting....love your recount.
Brilliant alternative to travel and tour in Italy...so many places to see regarding the spreading Gospel and the disciples. I pray all turns out to be so amazing and memorable for all who are able to go on this lifetime trip.
Hello Brandon. I am from Oregon. I love The Chosen. I couldn't see you live so I am seeing you now. I have not seen season 4 yet. Can't wait to see it. This video has so much information. I always learn from you. God bless you for your ministry.
Glad to see you following up on this. Early on in my walk I attempted to do this very thing. Did not get far. Resources today are so much more available. …as always, asking Holy Spirit for discernment on sources and truth.
Thank you Brandon for your show. I learn a lot from watching your videos about the Lord God Jesus Christ thank you for doing this for all of us. God bless you.
Thank you for including the Quo Vidas in your story, including Peter being Crucified upside down and being buried under the Vatican. Your pilgrimage sounds amazing!
I was taught that St Jude, he was also called Judas. The name Thaddeus is a nickname used during that time. St Jude was killed by axe. If you look at statues and art depiction, the things they hold are symbols to remind stores of the saints. The Arm of St. Jude also passed threw my town on its tour through the U.S. Which is why I learned about his story, as they had boards of his relationship as cousin to Jesus, through Mary's side of the family. Lots of interesting facts about St. Jude and why he was huge in bring Armenia into Christianity. Plus now he's known for healing the sick, or lost causes. Which is why the hospital of St. Jude exists.
Yes, very true I went to the tour in Phoenix at St. Anne's church named after grandmother of St. Jude! Sister of the the Blessed Virgin Mary Jesus and St. Jude were cousins just like John the Baptist was Jesus cousin as well.
It tells you how strong their Faith was,. Remember they were the ones who saw the resurrected Christ they saw him ascend into heaven so they knew without a doubt, as do we they died knowing that heaven awaited them, even though if they were horrible deaths
@@dannyyoung4810 Not to take anything away from them, as they did more to spread the gospel then I have, undoubtably. It is also good to be discerning and speak truth, and if you re-read the gospel account of Matthew 28:16-17, It literally says that some still doubted, on the mountain while being given the commission. Don’t know exactly what that means as I only noted this just yesterday, other than the Holy Spirit giving them (and us) the strength when our own strength and faith are lacking. Notice the change in all of them in the book of Acts after receiving the Holy Spirit, compared to their lack of faith and wisdom in most instances in the gospels.. God bless.
My thoughts on the teaching of celibate wives: if their husbands were Roman and not Christians, they could have been participating in many ungodly acts (such as temple prostitutes, affairs) which I would think Christian leaders and Jews would find inappropriate for the women to continue to have relations with them after they became Christians. Wouldn’t that be a purity/ holiness issue? Just a thought.
Refraining from ungodly acts does sound like a reasonable explanation. A word from historians at the time would have brought clarity for this strange teaching. Maybe they felt people in that day would have known why. Interesting.
Hi Brandon; I an impressed you have “James the Less, son of Klopas,Cleophas Proper Aramaic Halfy (cousin of Yeshua and Ya’qub Bar Yahosef (“James the Just) Yeshua’s brother sorted. First as a “Jesus” historian, I tend to use their real Aramaic names and I peel away the myths composed by Gentiles to support teachings that would have horrified the historical YeSHUa Bar YaHOsef, 70 years of Teasing out the historical elements, the family of YeSHUa would have been: Ya’qub (Grandpop - Aram. saba) His sons 1. Yahosef Bar Ya’qub (YeSHUas’ abba=father); 2. Halfy Bar Ya’qub. Known as Alphaeus/Klopas/Cleophas (YaHOsef’s brother and YeSHUa’s aHAba=uncle) 1. Yahosef Bar Ya’qub and Maryam barat Yehoichim (if Yehoichim and Hannah are historical) children: Yeshua Bar Yahosef (Jesus) Ya’qub Bar Yahosef (“James the Just/Righteous,” grandfather’s name according to Jewish naming praxis) Yose (Yahosef) Bar Yahosef Shymeon Bar Yahosef (Simon, most common 2nd temple name) Yehudah Bar Yahosef (Jude) At least 2 unnamed daughters, perhaps: Maryam Barat Yahosef Shalomzion Barat Yahosef
If there was a third daughter, I lament her loss to history to the misogynistic Marian theologians and will step outside of the historical for a second and give her a name, Yohannah.
2. Halfy (Alphaeus) bar Ya’qub and Maryam (“other Mary”) Children: Mattay (Levi?) Bar Halfy (“Matthew” the disciple) Yes, Matthew was Yeshua’s cousin. Ya’qub Bar Halfy (also after saba=grandpop) disciple called Ya’qub Zaore (“James” the Lesser) Shymeon Bar Halfy (probably youngest). Succeeded Yeshua’s’ brother “James” the Just) as Nasi of the Jerusalem yahad in 62 CE.
Yeshua’s aunt (Mary’s sister) Shalomzion (Salome) married the business partner of Yonah as owners of a fishing fleet and three of their sons, Yeshua’s cousins, Ya’qub, known as Ya’qub gadola (“James” the greater,) as compared to the other cousin above, the “lesser/younger”) and Yohanan (“John”) and Yehudah Thadday (“Thaddeus”) were all Talmiddaya/disciples of Yeshua. “Jesus” aunts Mary (the “other Mary”) and Salome are mentioned in the Gospels as accompanying and supporting the group. There is another woman accompanying the group and helping to support them. She is the wife of Antipas’ steward Chuza, Yohanna. The fourth of the older supportive women was Shoshanna/Susannah. Whether these two women were relatives of Jesus or one of the other disciples is not known. A number of the disciples were relatives so chances are they are kin of Yeshua also. Apocryphal gospels like the Protevangelium of James were composed at the height of the highest, and largely mythological, Christology of the 2nd century and given the pseudepigraphic titles of disciples for authority, to support developing Gentile Christian doctrines. I thought it prudent to get the family out of the way before discussing the Talmidda. Shlama Jack Kilmon
I appreciate your assessment. It wasn't easy to follow the chronology. I wish a list of the apostles' deaths was provided, with each of them, their cause of death, and, if known, where they were buried. The video is really about your wonderful trip rather than how the disciples died.
Being celibate in marriage? That is apocryphal indeed!!!😂 How would people take that out of a preaching of salvation. I knew about Peter being crucified in Rome, but because of stop doing the duty of marriage!!! Paul would be appalled!!!!
An account by St. Clement of Alexandria (150-215 AD) says that she was martyred in Rome. An account by St. Eusebius (283-371 AD) says that she was martyred at the same day in Rome, just shortly before Peter was crucified upside down. Here's a quote from St. Eusebius: "They say, accordingly, that when the blessed Peter saw his own wife led out to die, he rejoiced because of her summons and her return home, and called to her very encouragingly and comfortingly, addressing her by name, and saying, ‘Oh thou, remember the Lord.’ Such was the marriage of the blessed, and their perfect disposition toward those dearest to them."
I find the fact that many of the disciples were preaching celibacy in marriage so odd because God said to Be Fruitful and Multiply. And also that God said not to withhold relations for more than three days. Relations within a marriage are certainly allowed and expected. Very odd indeed…
Show me the scripture that says to not withhold relationship for three days. What about cleanliness law when it came to menstruation? Accuracy check please?
All I recall reading was Paul saying celibacy is good if you can but it wasn’t an admonition. I understood he was meaning to marry or not; not celibacy within a marriage. The OT advised no sex during menstruation.
Adam. Mew York. I missed the live stream. What brought me to The Chosen was my personal research on the lives and deaths of then disciples. Then I ran across The Chosen Season 1. No stopping after the first episode. I do watch it slowly because I don;t want it to end.
I am so glad you speak about how even though there is no evidence it shouldn't surprise us if Jesus's disciples/followers would have had potential ailments. I personally enjoy seeing how they wrote Jordan's disability into the show in a sense. As someone who lives with a disability and has a brother who also lives with one; it not only has been good to watch Little James and Matthew for me personally but it has been a huge deal for my parents to include this for as you mention we don't know and we shouldn't be surprised. We are all able to be followers of Jesus. He didn't come for those who have it all together and who lead lives without any kind of "problem."

I’m wondering if the wives were being required to do obscene pagan sexual activities. Otherwise I can’t imagine why abstinence would be encouraged.
Who cares?

About James brother of John, Catholic tradition says he went and preached the gospel in Spain before returning to Jerusalem and being killed.

If there was a third daughter, I lament her loss to history to the misogynistic Marian theologians and will step outside of the historical for a second and give her a name, Yohannah.
2. Halfy (Alphaeus) bar Ya’qub and Maryam (“other Mary”)
Children:
Mattay (Levi?) Bar Halfy (“Matthew” the disciple) Yes, Matthew was Yeshua’s cousin.
Ya’qub Bar Halfy (also after saba=grandpop) disciple called Ya’qub Zaore (“James” the Lesser)
Shymeon Bar Halfy (probably youngest). Succeeded Yeshua’s’ brother “James” the Just) as Nasi of the Jerusalem yahad in 62 CE.
Yeshua’s aunt (Mary’s sister) Shalomzion (Salome) married the business partner of Yonah as owners of a fishing fleet and three of their sons, Yeshua’s cousins, Ya’qub, known as Ya’qub gadola (“James” the greater,) as compared to the other cousin above, the “lesser/younger”) and Yohanan (“John”) and Yehudah Thadday (“Thaddeus”) were all Talmiddaya/disciples of Yeshua. “Jesus” aunts Mary (the “other Mary”) and Salome are mentioned in the Gospels as accompanying and supporting the group. There is another woman accompanying the group and helping to support them. She is the wife of Antipas’ steward Chuza, Yohanna. The fourth of the older supportive women was Shoshanna/Susannah. Whether these two women were relatives of Jesus or one of the other disciples is not known. A number of the disciples were relatives so chances are they are kin of Yeshua also.
Apocryphal gospels like the Protevangelium of James were composed at the height of the highest, and largely mythological, Christology of the 2nd century and given the pseudepigraphic titles of disciples for authority, to support developing Gentile Christian doctrines.
I thought it prudent to get the family out of the way before discussing the Talmidda.

I appreciate your assessment. It wasn't easy to follow the chronology. I wish a list of the apostles' deaths was provided, with each of them, their cause of death, and, if known, where they were buried. The video is really about your wonderful trip rather than how the disciples died.
Being celibate in marriage? That is apocryphal indeed!!!😂 How would people take that out of a preaching of salvation. I knew about Peter being crucified in Rome, but because of stop doing the duty of marriage!!! Paul would be appalled!!!!
Oh my gosh
I would love to go on this voyage. I hope and pray to get the funds to attend. God bless everyone
What happened to Peter's wife😅
An account by St. Clement of Alexandria (150-215 AD) says that she was martyred in Rome.
An account by St. Eusebius (283-371 AD) says that she was martyred at the same day in Rome, just shortly before Peter was crucified upside down.
Here's a quote from St. Eusebius:
"They say, accordingly, that when the blessed Peter saw his own wife led out to die, he rejoiced because of her summons and her return home, and called to her very encouragingly and comfortingly, addressing her by name, and saying, ‘Oh thou, remember the Lord.’ Such was the marriage of the blessed, and their perfect disposition toward those dearest to them."
Great topic! Love all your videos! Pam from SC

Hi from Michigan

Hi I'm from shillong meghalaya india thankyou for your research God bless you
I find the fact that many of the disciples were preaching celibacy in marriage so odd because God said to Be Fruitful and Multiply. And also that God said not to withhold relations for more than three days. Relations within a marriage are certainly allowed and expected. Very odd indeed…
Show me the scripture that says to not withhold relationship for three days. What about cleanliness law when it came to menstruation? Accuracy check please?
I don’t recall that admonition either.
@@tbastrikes7847Perhaps her husband told her that. 😏
All I recall reading was Paul saying celibacy is good if you can but it wasn’t an admonition. I understood he was meaning to marry or not; not celibacy within a marriage. The OT advised no sex during menstruation.
The Catholic Church is the culprit for pushing celibacy
Thanks Brandon! Watching (a bit later) from Western Australia. God bless you!😊
Mercedes From Spain Great show ❤️

Hi I'm Ruby from Memphis tenn
The chosen touches my heart it has been life changing
Hello from Yvonne Gill in Morson, Ontario Canada.
Watching from Lakeland, FL. Thank you for sharing so much info abt the disciples’ death. Studying the 12 now personally.
Adam. Mew York. I missed the live stream. What brought me to The Chosen was my personal research on the lives and deaths of then disciples. Then I ran across The Chosen Season 1. No stopping after the first episode. I do watch it slowly because I don;t want it to end.
We have to honor command not to add or take away from The Word of God as some are inclined.Thanks for your clarifying teaching ❤
Hi from Cape Coral, FL. I love your videos. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and insights. I feel enriched. Annette
Brandon, you do a fantastic job, and thank you for what you are doing! God bless you.
Very enlightening and valuable video. Gave so much to reflect on.
Ann from Stony Plain, Alberta! Love your channel ❤
I am so glad you speak about how even though there is no evidence it shouldn't surprise us if Jesus's disciples/followers would have had potential ailments. I personally enjoy seeing how they wrote Jordan's disability into the show in a sense. As someone who lives with a disability and has a brother who also lives with one; it not only has been good to watch Little James and Matthew for me personally but it has been a huge deal for my parents to include this for as you mention we don't know and we shouldn't be surprised. We are all able to be followers of Jesus. He didn't come for those who have it all together and who lead lives without any kind of "problem."
Nick from Florida. I’m so blessed to see this show.
Hi from Tennessee. I missed the live, but, I love your insight, Brandon
