I dont care how many times I see this scene, I cry everytime. I relate so much to Mary. I was Mary. I had night terrors all throughout my child and was afraid of the dark. I had sleep paralysis often. I was sexually abused as a child which led me to a promiscuous lifestyle. I had severe depression and suicidal ideations. Then Jesus redeemed me. I have not been the same since. So this episode invokes emotion every single time.
I had a similar life as you and when I was on the way jumping off God placed my husband in my life and we were baptized and married Same weeken Never looked back I was blessed with my husband for over 40 years Now he’s in heaven waiting for me. Jesus has His hand in mine. God bless you bunches
I was raised Christian but in my early 20s I faltered. I had sleep paralysis every single night for months to the point I was scared to go to sleep. The night I asked for Jesus Christ to help me is the night it stopped until this day a decade later. Praise Jesus.
I received deliverance from a horrible, tormented life in a similar way to the portrayal of Mary in this episode. My life was changed. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God, Yeshuati.

Dallas is right that the final scene is the one which kept people watching. It had that effect on me. I was a little hesitant about the show when I started watching, but that final scene blew me away.
Dallas' expression as he watched the final scene where Jesus calls Mary by name was priceless. It was like the love you might imagine would light his visage as he watched the testimony of one of his children at that child's baprism.
I always cry when I watch this scene. I suffer from schizophrenia, and when I see Jesus hugging Mary as she’s finally healed, I imagine when I get to hug Jesus in heaven healed.
That was an enlightening answer from Dallas about there being something transcendent behind many of these scenes. I think he's 100% right. As brilliant as the acting, writing, direction, lighting and audio were for that scene, there was just an extra punch behind it. That has happened several times in the series (also see when he pulls Nicodemus off his knees and says "Blessed are all who take refuge in him"). There are just so many breathtaking moments in this show.
Jesus meets me, loves me, right where I'm at, gently corrects me "that's not for you" , holds me, Loves away all of my pain, Heals all of my wounds. Carries me until I can walk again, in His strength and power. Praise God, He Chooses Everyone who Chooses Him!
Im 34 years old. I cried at my fathers funeral. My grandparents funeral. And when my twins girls were born. Not often. But the scene with Yeshua and Mary, I WEEPED
I have to say that ending scene is my favorite. The verse from Isaiah captured the whole essence of who Yeshua is. I like how her father spoke that over her as a child. That she in her lowest reflected on it. Yeshua comes as the fulfillment of that scripture. It captures his divinity, power, and love. He calls us by name.
That final scene was so powerful the way she reacted when she heard Jesus call her by name, ”Mary”. I look forward to the episode when she recognizes the risen Jesus when he again calls her by name, “Mary”.
Yes! Looking forward to this. The first episode will always be my favorite, and so far I always cry. It’s a good cry though! Just watched again this weekend and was still very moved by Mary’s story, even after watching many times ❤️
I love watching the Chosen again through your eyes,there is so much that I missed or didn’t understand,especially the early Jews aspects,thank you so much.
I just finished all 3 seasons for the 2nd time, and have watched a number of Dalla Jenkins reactions but needed more, than I found you guys. From my earliest days of reading, I've loved history and sought cross-cultural understanding, So, even without Christ, I would have watched Chosen for it's most insightful depictions of 1st century life. But with Christ in me, wow! I loved what you said and asked of Dallas regarding the Spirit of the show. To me and many others, that is what really draws us to the show. What Dallas said about casting Mary (Tabish) resonates with me because she has been perfect so far in every scene I've seen, But, same with the whole cast! I remember seeing a clip of Roumie talking about where he was when this script was given him and he jokes that as he skimmed in and found like 5 lines only at the end, his flesh balked, but his spirit was drawn to the show. Praise God and thank you for the additional insights to the show, culturally and spiritually.
Hearing Dallas saying that God had told him to be very careful with Mary Magdalene, trying as much as possible to honor her, treating her as a woman of God, the Holy Spirit pointed me out that passage where after Jesus resurrection, she was the first person who Jesus had come and had spoken to her. Also, in the time of crucifixion until the resurrection day she is very much mentioned. Sounds like God wants us to pay close attention to her and to dig deeper of why she was so important.
yes! been waiting for this... this episode is the perfect start... back stories... ordinary lives... tormented by the devil... and being called by name, by who else? Jesus! not going to deny.. yes... cried with you on that last scene... even though I've seen this episode may times... another beautiful review/ reaction from you guys! Shalom!
Cried so much I couldn't see any of you clearly. Then the Holy Spirit is highlighted in your powerful question. All of us have looked forward to Dallas sharing his source.. Thanks for impacting us with the gospel's message of love and forgiveness.
I always enjoy your Chosen reactions. It was cool to have Dallas be a part of this one. You guys have a lot of great insight. The scene between Jesus and Mary Magdalene at the end of episode 1 is beautiful and emotional.
I watch 5 other channels that do commentary on The Chosen but you guys are by far my favorite! If I could only watch one it would be you. You teach so much beyond the show and the thing I love the most is you’re real with us. You don’t hide your true feelings, you’re totally open! I love all the humor and fun you guys have! Thanks for sharing yourselves with us!! Would you please do a show explaining the Sadducees, Pharisees and the Sanhedrin. I understand some of it but I’d really like to learn more! Thanks again! Love y’all!
I first “met” you two when you began doing reviews of The Chosen Season 2. SO GLAD you have gone back to the beginning! I enjoy and always learn a lot from your commentaries. You have helped me better understand and appreciate the Jewishness of Jesus and the early disciples. Part of the richness of my spiritual heritage as one who has been “grafted in” by The LORD’s Grace. And I love that you, too, cried at the last scene... as I always do, after many viewings. You’re right. God’s Holy Spirit is all over this work, bringing Yeshua to the world in a fresh way... for such a time as this. Thank you for adding your wisdom and joy in the Lord to our journey with The Chosen. Please continue with the episodes you missed!
I considered the meeting with Mary and Jesus as a mirror of how she's the first one that he reveals himself to after he rises. First in the show and first after the resurrection, there was beautiful poetic emphasis in it. Whether it happened that way or not, it's presented very plausibly.
His Words changes everything...He knew us....out of darkness into His light. Thank you, Sam, for capturing what I believe but didn't have a way to describe. Thank you, Dallas and Dr. Tom for your sensitive approach to this reaction and how you honor Him.
I saw this Maria Jesus Scene 50 60 Times. And EVERY time it hits me again. Every time Im crying. Wow. So much power of god and the holy spirit in this scene. Divine. Wow. Woooow.
Thank you for sharing your heart responses to this episode. It was moving to watch the three of you watch that final scene with the Lord and Mary. The humility of Dallas and the respect for these people he and his team represent is one of the compelling reasons I fully support this show with my loaves and fish. I love the Grafted insights too. Let’s all pay it forward as much as we can to share the story of Jesus in this powerful way. Come and see…
that was mary of magdala's divine appointment. it touches the soul of the broken hearted. the scene was such a strong portrayal that God will find us, not us searching for him. - venjie from manila, philippines
The Chosen series has set me down into the middle of my 45 years of serious Bible study. Most of us are thrilled to watch it because we know what's coming as it plays out. How fun it's been to watch the programs...placing faces on the people I've gotten to know over our my lifetime. Exciting, nowing it's only a program on the silver screen, but fun to think and wonder how our reactions would have been if we were living in the beginning of Jesus's ministry. AND thanking God I'm so lucky to be born in 1950. I hope at the end of this we will truly understand why all the saints got so excited over watching how Jesus took ordinary people and showed them saving grace.
I've seen this scene so many times. And I cried again today as I watched it. Thank you dear God, for the Chosen. And for these dear ones who have made this series. Behold you ARE doing "a new thing", in our generation, just as you promised it.
Impactful it has been from the very beginning. MR D.J. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE BEEN PUT AS A LIGHT IN THIS WORLD 🌎 FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. thank you very much. And grafted FAMILY for CONTINUALLY pointing out nuggets from the chosen
I just love you guys. Your wisdom and knowledge is captivating. I have been studying scripture daily for the past 3 years and 3 months. It is amazing. I am so blessed to be able to spend all of my time study the living word of God. Doing this Bible study has come through a personal encounter with JESUS and there is no turning back. After that day in July 2018, I have been ALL IN! Thank you both for your time and effort you put into this and sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us. Blessings and peace and keep up the good work for the kingdom. 🙌🏼🕊🐑🩸✝️❤️🔥
@@yvonnegill1382 yes. John and Colossians are 2 of my favorite books. I am reading all of the Bible. Right now my focus is on Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Amos, Zechariah, Luke, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Romans, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, 1 & 2 Peter, 1,2,3 John, Jude and Revelation. I just love God’s Word. ❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥 Have a blessed day Yvonne. 🙏🏼
Excellent video guys! You always give an excellent account of what the Jewish people said & did. Every time I watch one of your The Chosen videos I always find out things that I didn't see before & it makes it all become more real & makes more sense. Thank you for all you do & God bless you always!!!
On top of everything that was said about the final scene of this first episode, they have set up perfectly the scene after the resurrection when Jesus simply says, "Mary," just like he did here. And I hope she drops whatever she's holding (oils for anointing his body?), just as she dropped the cup here. And I hope the sun just barely peeks over the horizon, illuminating them in an embrace, similar to the lighting during their embrace in this scene, bringing it all full circle.
This was so wonderful to watch! Thank you for another amazing episode. And thank you for being vulnerable and sitting with your emotions. That alone will be such a role model to boys and men that it’s ok to cry. 🙏🏾 Loved that little gotcha. 😂 Your friendship is really beautiful to watch in every episode, and it was refreshing to watch someone joke with a friend and you two just laugh about it, rather than getting offended or upset. The two of you with Dallas make a great team, and I hope you can have him on again. It was cool to watch him watch your reactions. Great video!
All of these videos come on when I have so much school work 😭, but Praise God I'm in college so I'll have to come back to this later. Blessings to you both and to your congregation by the way, would love to visit Kingdom Living someday. I've been watching a nice bit of the content on their YT recently!
I Break down at the "Hug" that Jesus gives Mary. It has absolutely NO connotations of a "touchy-feely" kind of hug...of which I am all too familiar with. He gave her a "pure" hug, which shatters me, every time! It is beautiful to see. Thank you Dallas Jenkins. Thank you Holy Spirit for making it so. You don't know what it means to someone like me. I wish I could have one of Those Kinds of Hugs now. Caring, but not ....selfish or lustful, you know?
That is my testimony, too! Not the tormented part, well, not as she was tormented, not spirits per sé. But that ONE touch, that ONE moment where He embraced me and knew all of me and forgave me in that instant when I surrendered all to Him in desperate repentance..... WHEW!!!! That's exactly how it happened when He saved me and this scene makes me bawl every time, I can watch it over and over again. It depicts thee most special, most important moment of my 35 year life. At 25, I was literally born again, into a new life and I'll never ever look back. How can I????? I just can't! He's so Wonderful! I couldn't imagine a day without Him. Blessed be the Lord!! I love You, Jesus! You are my God and I'll serve, worship and praise you till my last breath and by Your grace, even until forever and ever more! 🙏🙌 This series is SUCH a blessing. I feel the most anointed I've seen and I've been watching movies and shows about Jesus and the Bible in general, since childhood, as I grew up with pastors as grandparents on both sides of my family, praise the Lord. May the Lord continue to use y'all!!! May He provide for all needs from His riches in glory so His message of hope is seen by as many as possible.
I was Mary at one time in my life, I had an encounter with Jesus that changed me forever, that was 1999, one touch of God’s Holy Spirit on a demonized person is all it takes! They are free forever.. Thank you Grafted for showing this and Thank you Jesus for setting me free, and I am still free! Love you my brothers!! Jeshua Meleck! { I think I spelled that right}
Praise the Lord. This reminds me of a time I was in the DR. We went into a Haitian immigrant village in the DR. A girl was lying on the ground stiff( as dead). The team circle around her praying. Some people saw smoke come out. She woke up and gave her life to Christ. Prior to this, I didn’t believe possession happened . Sadly, I was having doubts about the reality of my faith. He reminded me that he is real ( not a figment of my imagination). The power of the name of Jesus. Demons tremble at his name. That is the only time I came in contact with the spiritual word. God let me know he is real. When I doubt his existence he bring me back to that.
I feel in love with the Chosen because of the end scene with Mary in episode one! It was covid I was living in my van and was recently the near victim of a cult murder. Alone and scared parked in a secret place. Thankfully I had a phone and UA-cam less I'd never had seen that scene with Mary!
Please, waiting for your reviews of the other episodes in season 1🙏 Your insights and take on the scenes, especially the clarity you bring to Israel 🤓 are much appreciated!!!
I am fascinated with your reactions and so very blessed by them. You all are so knowledgeable, informative and yet still so entertaining. Definitely a new subscriber.
Thank you for sharing this video with us and thank you Dallas Jenkins for stepping in and taking your time to be with all of us! You're so right that although we can do as much as we can with our loaves and fishes, God is the One who provides the Miracle! As you were talking about the opposition of Darkness and Light, I couldn't help but feel impressed to share the Scriptural experience Joseph Smith Jr. Had while seeking God and the proper Religious Authority. " My mind at times was greatly excited, the cry and tumult were so great and incessant. The Presbyterians were most decided against the Baptists and Methodists, and used all the powers of both reason and sophistry to prove their errors, or, at least, to make the people think they were in error. On the other hand, the Baptists and Methodists in their turn were equally zealous in endeavoring to establish their own tenets and disprove all others. In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, I often said to myself: What is to be done? Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together? If any one of them be aright, which is it, and how shall I know it? While I was laboring under the extreme difficulties caused by the contests of these parties of religionists, I was one day reading the aEpistle of James, first chapter and fifth verse, which reads: If any of you lack bwisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Never did any passage of scripture come with more power to the heart of man than this did at this time to mine. It seemed to enter with great force into every feeling of my heart. I reflected on it again and again, knowing that if any person needed wisdom from God, I did; for how to act I did not know, and unless I could get more wisdom than I then had, I would never know; for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible. At length I came to the conclusion that I must either remain in darkness and confusion, or else I must do as James directs, that is, ask of God. I at length came to the determination to “ask of God,” concluding that if he gave wisdom to them that lacked wisdom, and would give liberally, and not upbraid, I might venture. So, in accordance with this, my determination to ask of God, I retired to the woods to make the attempt. It was on the morning of a beautiful, clear day, early in the spring of eighteen hundred and twenty. It was the first time in my life that I had made such an attempt, for amidst all my anxieties I had never as yet made the attempt to pray docally. After I had retired to the place where I had previously designed to go, having looked around me, and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick darkness gathered around me, and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction. But, exerting all my powers to all upon God to deliver me out of the power of this enemy which had seized upon me, and at the very moment when I was ready to sink into despair and abandon myself to destruction-not to an imaginary ruin, but to the power of some actual being from the unseen world, who had such marvelous power as I had never before felt in any being-just at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and dglory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other-This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him! " - Joseph Smith History 1:9-17 www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/pgp/js-h/1?lang=eng&id=p1-p26#p1
@Grafted - I’m so excited that you’re going to react to the first season of @The Chosen! Can’t wait to react to your reaction☺️😁 You were absolutely right, Sam, when you said that Dallas captured the words of Jesus, that He can change your life just like that! I had no idea what God had in store for me when I watched that scene for the first time. When Jesus spoke to Lilith as Mary-the person she really was, It was as if Jesus spoke the same words to me but used my name, and the music in that scene just made those words sting even more….I cried and cried!! I looked that Scripture up and now use it as a wallpaper on my phone to remind me that I am loved for who I really am, I am understood, and most importantly, I am forgiven for who I’ve been! I’ve always carried the Christian title but now, bc of @The Chosen, I know the true meaning of being a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, to love bc I am loved!! 💖💝💙💚💜🧡💛❤️💝❤️🩹
I love you guys and your analysis of the Chosen episodes. When I first stumbled across the Grafted and the thumbnail said about a Chosen episode, I thought Tom was doing an interview with actor that plays creepy John! 😂
He speaks this over you every day. He loves you. You don’t have to wait for his return or our passing into Heaven to hear those words. Incline your ear to Him and you will hear and know His love for you. Blessings!
Jesus "taught with authority" ...I've heard those verses all my life and always thought about how, as God's son and coming from God, he of course could speak with authority, but I never tied it into the comparison between the Jewish religious authorities of Jesus's day and their lack of power vs Jesus spoke...and the demons left...He speaks with authority and power! Then and now. In our lives! Thanks for your insight on this point The Chosen has so beautifully portrayed.
I dont care how many times I see this scene, I cry everytime. I relate so much to Mary. I was Mary. I had night terrors all throughout my child and was afraid of the dark. I had sleep paralysis often. I was sexually abused as a child which led me to a promiscuous lifestyle. I had severe depression and suicidal ideations. Then Jesus redeemed me. I have not been the same since. So this episode invokes emotion every single time.
I had a similar life as you and when I was on the way jumping off God placed my husband in my life and we were baptized and married Same weeken
Never looked back
I was blessed with my husband for over 40 years
Now he’s in heaven waiting for me.
Jesus has His hand in mine.
God bless you bunches
Amazing testimony. May God continue to heal and use you.
You just told my story.
Pain is temporary, REDEMPTION IS FOREVER. I cried as well
I was raised Christian but in my early 20s I faltered. I had sleep paralysis every single night for months to the point I was scared to go to sleep. The night I asked for Jesus Christ to help me is the night it stopped until this day a decade later. Praise Jesus.
This last scene kept me watching the Chosen. Such a beautiful Redemption.
The thing we all want. To get a hug from Jesus
I received deliverance from a horrible, tormented life in a similar way to the portrayal of Mary in this episode. My life was changed. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God, Yeshuati.
Amen! May your testimony inspire others.

How great would it be, to get a hug like that from Jesus.
Agreed... no matter how many times I watch it, I still cry.
If you checked Bible facts, you would leave immediately. But you have unquestionable faith. HAHAHAHA!!!

Im 34 years old. I cried at my fathers funeral. My grandparents funeral. And when my twins girls were born. Not often.
But the scene with Yeshua and Mary, I WEEPED
"He knows my name. He knows my every thought. He sees each tear that falls, and hears me when I call" from "He Knows my Name” by Tommy Walker
I have to say that ending scene is my favorite. The verse from Isaiah captured the whole essence of who Yeshua is. I like how her father spoke that over her as a child. That she in her lowest reflected on it. Yeshua comes as the fulfillment of that scripture. It captures his divinity, power, and love. He calls us by name.
Jesus's hand coming down on Mary's takes my breath away every time. And I cry every single time at that final scene.
It’s a toss up between Mary’s first encounter with Jesus and Jesus and Nicodemus on the roof for the very best scene of the entire series so far.
My feelings exactly. Both scenes bring me to tears every time, no matter how many times I've seen them. They're so tender, yet powerful & personal.❤
Watching this for the forty-leventh time, and the minute Jesus says, "Mary", my eyes instantly start stinging. Then comes the tears.
This scene and the woman at the well always moves me to tears.
OMG yes. Everyone rejects me But no the Messiah. When He tells her I came here just to see you. So moving and powerful.
That final scene was so powerful the way she reacted when she heard Jesus call her by name, ”Mary”. I look forward to the episode when she recognizes the risen Jesus when he again calls her by name, “Mary”.
Yes! Looking forward to this. The first episode will always be my favorite, and so far I always cry. It’s a good cry though! Just watched again this weekend and was still very moved by Mary’s story, even after watching many times ❤️

I saw this Maria Jesus Scene 50 60 Times. And EVERY time it hits me again. Every time Im crying. Wow. So much power of god and the holy spirit in this scene. Divine. Wow. Woooow.
I'm not crying! You're crying!
...
Thank you, brothers...
Thank you for sharing your heart responses to this episode. It was moving to watch the three of you watch that final scene with the Lord and Mary. The humility of Dallas and the respect for these people he and his team represent is one of the compelling reasons I fully support this show with my loaves and fish. I love the Grafted insights too. Let’s all pay it forward as much as we can to share the story of Jesus in this powerful way. Come and see…
I have probably watched this through 4-5 times. I’m sure I’ll quit getting choked up at some point
that was mary of magdala's divine appointment. it touches the soul of the broken hearted. the scene was such a strong portrayal that God will find us, not us searching for him. - venjie from manila, philippines
"That's not for you".....that part keeps speaking to me. God, I want to reject everything that's not for me.
The Chosen series has set me down into the middle of my 45 years of serious Bible study.
Most of us are thrilled to watch it because we know what's coming as it plays out.
How fun it's been to watch the programs...placing faces on the people I've gotten to know over our my lifetime. Exciting, nowing it's only a program on the silver screen, but fun to think and wonder how our reactions would have been if we were living in the beginning of Jesus's ministry. AND thanking God I'm so lucky to be born in 1950.
I hope at the end of this we will truly understand why all the saints got so excited over watching how Jesus took ordinary people and showed them saving grace.
Ugh!! That last scene gets me EVERY time! Even just as a short clip.
This show has touched my heart in a way I cannot explain. Every episode is so impactful and inspiring. Cannot wait for more episodes!!!
I've seen this scene so many times. And I cried again today as I watched it. Thank you dear God, for the Chosen. And for these dear ones who have made this series. Behold you ARE doing "a new thing", in our generation, just as you promised it.
Oooo this looks exciting!!
I enjoy watching you guys. You add a knowledge in a beautiful and at times a funny way. God bless you and your family.
Impactful it has been from the very beginning. MR D.J. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE BEEN PUT AS A LIGHT IN THIS WORLD 🌎 FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. thank you very much. And grafted FAMILY for CONTINUALLY pointing out nuggets from the chosen
I just love you guys. Your wisdom and knowledge is captivating. I have been studying scripture daily for the past 3 years and 3 months. It is amazing. I am so blessed to be able to spend all of my time study the living word of God. Doing this Bible study has come through a personal encounter with JESUS and there is no turning back. After that day in July 2018, I have been ALL IN! Thank you both for your time and effort you put into this and sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us. Blessings and peace and keep up the good work for the kingdom. 🙌🏼🕊🐑🩸✝️❤️🔥
I am so glad for your eagerness to read Gods Word. Have you read the gospel of John?
@@yvonnegill1382 yes. John and Colossians are 2 of my favorite books. I am reading all of the Bible. Right now my focus is on Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Amos, Zechariah, Luke, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Romans, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, 1 & 2 Peter, 1,2,3 John, Jude and Revelation. I just love God’s Word. ❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥 Have a blessed day Yvonne. 🙏🏼
that last scene always get me...
listening and watching with you guys...thank you
Another great episode. Thank you for your insights, your vulnerability, your gentle spirits and your joy!
So funny because I was one of those who said, 'I thought that this was about Jesus?! Where's Jesus?!"
And he shows up, big time.
Every single time , I cry. I don’t even know how how many times I’ve seen it💕✝️
Excellent video guys! You always give an excellent account of what the Jewish people said & did. Every time I watch one of your The Chosen videos I always find out things that I didn't see before & it makes it all become more real & makes more sense.
Thank you for all you do & God bless you always!!!
Tears, man tears me up every time
Great episode. I look forward to the second episode which is my favorite: Shabbat.
Thank you for the commentary on the supernatural!
You guys rock! Nuff said :-)
On top of everything that was said about the final scene of this first episode, they have set up perfectly the scene after the resurrection when Jesus simply says, "Mary," just like he did here. And I hope she drops whatever she's holding (oils for anointing his body?), just as she dropped the cup here. And I hope the sun just barely peeks over the horizon, illuminating them in an embrace, similar to the lighting during their embrace in this scene, bringing it all full circle.
SO HAPPY that you guys are back with The Chosen episode reviews!! These are so insightful and help me learn so much!!!
He knows everything about us, and calls us by name, and says, “You belong to me.” ❤️🩹
This was awesome 👏 I enjoy seeing Dallas interact with everyone who talks about the Chosen
This was so wonderful to watch! Thank you for another amazing episode. And thank you for being vulnerable and sitting with your emotions. That alone will be such a role model to boys and men that it’s ok to cry. 🙏🏾
Loved that little gotcha. 😂 Your friendship is really beautiful to watch in every episode, and it was refreshing to watch someone joke with a friend and you two just laugh about it, rather than getting offended or upset. The two of you with Dallas make a great team, and I hope you can have him on again. It was cool to watch him watch your reactions. Great video!
The scene in which Mary is healed brings me to tears every single time I see it
Thank you, Grafted.
All of these videos come on when I have so much school work 😭, but Praise God I'm in college so I'll have to come back to this later. Blessings to you both and to your congregation by the way, would love to visit Kingdom Living someday. I've been watching a nice bit of the content on their YT recently!
I Break down at the "Hug" that Jesus gives Mary. It has absolutely NO connotations of a "touchy-feely" kind of hug...of which I am all too familiar with. He gave her a "pure" hug, which shatters me, every time! It is beautiful to see. Thank you Dallas Jenkins. Thank you Holy Spirit for making it so. You don't know what it means to someone like me. I wish I could have one of Those Kinds of Hugs now. Caring, but not ....selfish or lustful, you know?
That is my testimony, too! Not the tormented part, well, not as she was tormented, not spirits per sé. But that ONE touch, that ONE moment where He embraced me and knew all of me and forgave me in that instant when I surrendered all to Him in desperate repentance..... WHEW!!!! That's exactly how it happened when He saved me and this scene makes me bawl every time, I can watch it over and over again. It depicts thee most special, most important moment of my 35 year life. At 25, I was literally born again, into a new life and I'll never ever look back. How can I????? I just can't! He's so Wonderful! I couldn't imagine a day without Him.
Blessed be the Lord!! I love You, Jesus! You are my God and I'll serve, worship and praise you till my last breath and by Your grace, even until forever and ever more! 🙏🙌
This series is SUCH a blessing. I feel the most anointed I've seen and I've been watching movies and shows about Jesus and the Bible in general, since childhood, as I grew up with pastors as grandparents on both sides of my family, praise the Lord.
May the Lord continue to use y'all!!! May He provide for all needs from His riches in glory so His message of hope is seen by as many as possible.
I’m speechless thank you for sharing this video 🙏🏼
I was Mary at one time in my life, I had an encounter with Jesus that changed me forever, that was 1999, one touch of God’s Holy Spirit on a demonized person is all it takes! They are free forever.. Thank you Grafted for showing this and Thank you Jesus for setting me free, and I am still free!
Love you my brothers!!
Jeshua Meleck! { I think I spelled that right}
Praise the Lord. This reminds me of a time I was in the DR. We went into a Haitian immigrant village in the DR. A girl was lying on the ground stiff( as dead). The team circle around her praying. Some people saw smoke come out. She woke up and gave her life to Christ. Prior to this, I didn’t believe possession happened . Sadly, I was having doubts about the reality of my faith. He reminded me that he is real ( not a figment of my imagination). The power of the name of Jesus. Demons tremble at his name. That is the only time I came in contact with the spiritual word. God let me know he is real. When I doubt his existence he bring me back to that.
I feel in love with the Chosen because of the end scene with Mary in episode one!
It was covid I was living in my van and was recently the near victim of a cult murder. Alone and scared parked in a secret place. Thankfully I had a phone and UA-cam less I'd never had seen that scene with Mary!
The sound/humming silence at those critical moments! Awesome!
The ending of this episode and the ending of Carmen’s song The Champion are the only things which have given me chills each and every time.
Please, waiting for your reviews of the other episodes in season 1🙏 Your insights and take on the scenes, especially the clarity you bring to Israel 🤓 are much appreciated!!!
I am fascinated with your reactions and so very blessed by them. You all are so knowledgeable, informative and yet still so entertaining. Definitely a new subscriber.
Thank you for sharing this video with us and thank you Dallas Jenkins for stepping in and taking your time to be with all of us! You're so right that although we can do as much as we can with our loaves and fishes, God is the One who provides the Miracle!
As you were talking about the opposition of Darkness and Light, I couldn't help but feel impressed to share the Scriptural experience Joseph Smith Jr. Had while seeking God and the proper Religious Authority.
" My mind at times was greatly excited, the cry and tumult were so great and incessant. The Presbyterians were most decided against the Baptists and Methodists, and used all the powers of both reason and sophistry to prove their errors, or, at least, to make the people think they were in error. On the other hand, the Baptists and Methodists in their turn were equally zealous in endeavoring to establish their own tenets and disprove all others.
In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, I often said to myself: What is to be done? Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together? If any one of them be aright, which is it, and how shall I know it?
While I was laboring under the extreme difficulties caused by the contests of these parties of religionists, I was one day reading the aEpistle of James, first chapter and fifth verse, which reads: If any of you lack bwisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Never did any passage of scripture come with more power to the heart of man than this did at this time to mine. It seemed to enter with great force into every feeling of my heart. I reflected on it again and again, knowing that if any person needed wisdom from God, I did; for how to act I did not know, and unless I could get more wisdom than I then had, I would never know; for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible.
At length I came to the conclusion that I must either remain in darkness and confusion, or else I must do as James directs, that is, ask of God. I at length came to the determination to “ask of God,” concluding that if he gave wisdom to them that lacked wisdom, and would give liberally, and not upbraid, I might venture.
So, in accordance with this, my determination to ask of God, I retired to the woods to make the attempt. It was on the morning of a beautiful, clear day, early in the spring of eighteen hundred and twenty. It was the first time in my life that I had made such an attempt, for amidst all my anxieties I had never as yet made the attempt to pray docally.
After I had retired to the place where I had previously designed to go, having looked around me, and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick darkness gathered around me, and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction.
But, exerting all my powers to all upon God to deliver me out of the power of this enemy which had seized upon me, and at the very moment when I was ready to sink into despair and abandon myself to destruction-not to an imaginary ruin, but to the power of some actual being from the unseen world, who had such marvelous power as I had never before felt in any being-just at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.
It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and dglory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other-This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him! "
- Joseph Smith History 1:9-17

Thank you
We all are lost and need redemption!!!
I absolutely love seeing Jesus meeting Mary and healing her mind.
@Grafted - I’m so excited that you’re going to react to the first season of @The Chosen! Can’t wait to react to your reaction☺️😁
You were absolutely right, Sam, when you said that Dallas captured the words of Jesus, that He can change your life just like that!
I had no idea what God had in store for me when I watched that scene for the first time. When Jesus spoke to Lilith as Mary-the person she really was, It was as if Jesus spoke the same words to me but used my name, and the music in that scene just made those words sting even more….I cried and cried!! I looked that Scripture up and now use it as a wallpaper on my phone to remind me that I am loved for who I really am, I am understood, and most importantly, I am forgiven for who I’ve been! I’ve always carried the Christian title but now, bc of @The Chosen, I know the true meaning of being a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, to love bc I am loved!!
💖💝💙💚💜🧡💛❤️💝❤️🩹
Thank you for this! Looking forward to more! God bless!
I love you guys and your analysis of the Chosen episodes. When I first stumbled across the Grafted and the thumbnail said about a Chosen episode, I thought Tom was doing an interview with actor that plays creepy John! 😂
I have been waiting soooo long for this!
I want that moment more than anything! How amazing to hear Yeshua call you His and embrace you in His perfect love! Come Lord Yeshua!
He speaks this over you every day. He loves you. You don’t have to wait for his return or our passing into Heaven to hear those words. Incline your ear to Him and you will hear and know His love for you. Blessings!
You got it right, thank you!
Jesus "taught with authority" ...I've heard those verses all my life and always thought about how, as God's son and coming from God, he of course could speak with authority, but I never tied it into the comparison between the Jewish religious authorities of Jesus's day and their lack of power vs Jesus spoke...and the demons left...He speaks with authority and power! Then and now. In our lives! Thanks for your insight on this point The Chosen has so beautifully portrayed.
They are back, yay 💃💃
Been waiting for you guys to react to S1 Episode 2.
We are excited about doing that one as well. It will probably be after all the Holidays.
I love this! I’ve watched it almost as much as episode 1
