Man this is the perfect Bible story for a sketch.
Fact I bet you didn't know - The Hebrew word na’ar is a loose word that can refer to children and young men...
an example that shows that -
Genesis 37:2 “ These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father.”
so the "kids" were not as young as you think...
and telling Elijah to go on up could have been a threat too
@@nathanvarghese. lol, I figured when they said young they ment compared to him and he was very old. Tho I am wondering how was being called bald a threat?
@@nathanvarghese. kind of assumed he wasn’t just straight up killing kids. Still interesting
@@Mistwolfss they mention in a comment below that when they said "go up" it was possibly a way of saying "go to heaven" so it could have been a death threat.
@@DragonoftheMaster ok, thanks for the clarification.
“It’s not like I would summon two she-bees on non-allergic kids.”
I’d absolutely LOVE to see more Bible story re-enactments!! Amazing sketch!!
I agree!
Also, I love your profile pic :)
“YES BUT THEY ALL LAUGHED… well three of them kinda smirked”

@@nathanvarghese. well just flex ur biblical knowledge why dontcha
@@RaesWAYOverdoingIt Nope that wasn't my intention and those weren't my thoughts either. I heard them from someone else.
I didn't want anyone hearing this story and assuming that the bible has people of god killing kids for stupid reasons.
@@nathanvarghese. Thank you for clarifying that. It kind of disturbed me that this sketch didn’t mention that, and did make it seem like those were young children.
I missed Matt ,Jason and Mallory for so long.
I’m happy to see Studio C gang again. I love you all
"Actually, one of them couldn't walk, but they were really fast crawlers!" Ha! This is a hilarious sketch! Keep up the great work!
Next up: Samson kills hundreds of Philistines because his wife gave him a bad haircut
I've been missing those Jason and Matt sketches
Oh my gosh yes
Thank you JK!Studios for adding the writer of the sketch!
yeah, it's fun to see the writers again :D
Inspector: I have found out---
Matt: that I've been bribing the prime minister
Inspector: no!!!
I impersonated a priest
@@chrisburry170 No...
That I am not disabled!
@@pandaesundae 😱😱
Mmhmm.
Bribing but ok
i love that we have sketches regularly now, i missed it but it's worth the wait for freelancers2!!
Is Jason wearing a swim cap? 😂
Maybe haha
Dude...... he's obviously bald
This is what happens when you need a bald cap but you no longer have BYUtv bankrolling your props department.
Dude…… he’s obviously bald
@@c.w.9501 I suspect they actually did that on purpose for comedic reasons
Ok but why is Matt dressed in present day clothes? 😂😂
How do I react to this
I mean, he look good tho
I was wondering the same thing 😂
@@RaesWAYOverdoingIt yeah, except the beard.
Because it is a juxtaposition on modern law
Just by seeing the thumbnail with Matt and Jason, I already know this will be great.
Please make more of this bible sketch lol
Guysss! You should do a Bible cop seriessss with different Bible characters. I would share it with my church groups for sure 😂
2 things, Matt's facial hair and hair cut look fantastic 👌 The fact that Jason's bald Cap only partially fits is hilarious 😂
OOOH IS BIBLE COP A POTENTIAL SERIES?
I hope so
That's what I was thinking!
The next one is up
oh my gosh I laughed out loud a LOT of times. Hilarious comedic timing, and as always the interactions between Jason and Matt are gold star comedy.
One of my favorite small stories, always cracked up my buddies
Based on the title, I know this is going to be great.

and calling Elijah a bald man could have been a threat too
Jason’s swim cap is awsome words are a powerful weapon they called me a bald head
Not enough people are talking about the She-Shes line...😂🤣
I've only seen the title of this sketch and have no idea what its actually about but oh boy does this look interesting!
Just finished it PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES!
Once again, great video! I love the bible reenactment. You could do a bunch of these!
“Because in the Bible 40 just means more than 3” 🤣🤣
"Not once, not three times... But twice"
I hope people realize though that the original term that we have translated as "children" actually pertains to people as old as 30, I believe. And there was more to the story. But yeah.
My point too! Thanks for mentioning.
@@countryem12 Rough translation taken literally makes for fun comedy though.
Yeah. This isn't the first time the translation lost its true meaning or the metaphor that it tries to convey. In Ecclesiastes for example: the word used in Hebrew is hevel, which means "smoke" or "vapour", which is metaphor. Now, alot of translations just translates it into "meaningless" or "vanity"
@@CWelton6 I agree, so long as people don't think the entire Bible is like that and are turned away from the faith. If I knew the cast were Christians and understood it was a less-accurate translation, I would feel better about it. But I don't know whether they are Christians or not.
@@braethebrave1569 well, i don't know if the cast members are all practicing christians or not, but all or most of them graduated from byu and have been affiliated with the lds church for a long time. i'm pretty sure they know that it's a less accurate translation; reading it literally just makes for good comedy.
THIS IS BRILLIANT GUYS! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
I second^
Eyyy earliest I’ve ever been! Love you guys 💛
Yes!!!!!!!! I love this cast!?!
This is a cool sketch(and I love the biblical references), but it should be noted that the translation for the Hebrew word used in that verse can refer to both young men and young kids, and in this context it would mean the young men. Elisha did not call down bears to maul little children, like the sketch implies.
However, it’s a funny sketch! The jokes are well-written and delivered nicely. Keep it up, JK Studios!
Fact I bet you didn't know - The Hebrew word na’ar is a loose word that can refer to children and young men...
an example that shows that -
Genesis 37:2 “ These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being *seventeen* years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a *boy* with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father.”
so the "kids" were not as young as you think...
and calling Elijah a bald man could have been a threat too
It’s this satire? Sorry, I’m not good with tone sometimes
I’ve actually always thought the fact that there were 42 shows that it wasn’t a couple of small kids calling him names, but actually a rather dangerous situation
@@everylaurenislemons I think he is serious, and might have a point
The word can also describe anyone without moral conscience.
Also, the word for "go up" was used to describe Elisha going to Heaven. It seems that they were telling him to die.
One strand of Judaism even says that the "boys" were part of a water cartel and that Elisha ruined their business by purifying water in Jericho. Some say the "boys" may have been worshipping a false god and were actually insulting Elisha's God. Eitherway, they were not innocent boys.
There's also an allegorical interpretation saying that the verse represents the youths being cut off into the wilderness for crimes.
Aye, and also there's the fact that it's not like Elisha "summoned" the bears. Elisha himself had no power of that sort. If he did he would have been a witch and been condemned to death. This is more on the order of the miracles performed through Moses.
So who else immediately went and checked their Bible for this story? I was aghast😂
Someone else said the kids or YAs were mocking Elijah’s journey to Heaven
*gets all theological and deep for a minute* A) they weren't little kids as we'd use the term. Certainly not toddlers and under 10s like Jason was saying. More like late teenagers or young adults.
B) there was such a big reaction because they were mocking not only God's living prophet, Elisha but also the way God had taken Elijah to heaven. So it wasn't just a light hearted tease. They were setting themselves up against God and they really should've known better.

so the "kids" were not as young as you think...
Ok, as a Christian, this is very insulting. It is agreed that these "children" were teens, and the issue wasn't that they called him a "bald head", but that they told him to go up to a pagan city, basically telling him to reject his faith. (Blasphemy) I quite like your sketches, but please, remember your divine comedy days. And making jokes on Elisha, not the best idea. And he wasn't the one that summoned the She-Bears, he called upon God to. He asked God to protect him, and God brought the She-Bears upon them. In those days, blasphemy was a huge offence to the Jews, and was punishable under death in some cases. Please be more respectful to the actual story, and to Christians.
Yes yes yes yes. Thank you for explaining and saying this so eloquently and clearly. 💚✝️
Oh, for goodness’ sake. Lighten up. It wasn't meant to be actual, it was a parody. We Christians need to learn to laugh at ourselves. I'm pretty confident that God has a sense of humor. After all, he created all of us......
@@lauralaurap2931 I understand that, but I still wish they were a bit more respectful. :D (e.g. the "crisis at the confessional" sketch in Studio C)
“Not once, not three times, but twice.” 😂😂
from the AMP/2015(current) on 2 Kings 2:23...
23 Then Elisha went up from Jericho to [a]-Bethel. On the way, young boys came out of the city and mocked him and said to him,
“Go up, you [b]-baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
Footnotes
[a] 2 Kings 2:23 Many people in Bethel participated in pagan worship and regarded the prophets of God with contempt.
[b] 2 Kings 2:23 This refers to a bald space on the back of the head, which was probably shaved by prophets as a symbol of their sacred separation from ordinary life. So it appears that the boys were not only ridiculing Elisha’s baldness, but his prophetic office as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
unsure of the legitimacy of the note, but makes sense to me.
here are links to BLB:
on the hebrew word that is being translated as bald(head)...

also why not, the hebrew word being translated as mocked...

2 Kings 2:23 (AKJV)[for comparison]
23 And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

hope this is/was helpful. ha ha. Shalom.
THIS BIBLE STORY WAS JUST BEGGING FOR A SKETCH TO BE MADE ABOUT IT
I stepped onto the platform. Evetyone was staring at me. I utter the following.
*Matt's hair.*
I exit, embarrassed by the silence. All of a sudden, I hear one person clapping. Followed by another. And another. Cheering starts, too. I knew that just stating the truth would waken the sleeping crowd like this.
BEAUTIFUL
@@RaesWAYOverdoingIt **bows**
@@macaronweasley8100 *continued applause
To be honest. If someone said that in my hearing I would drop everything and follow them :P and if they mentioned that leather jacket.... I'd buy them lunch as well
@@grandmatildyfromtennessee4605 Matt in general tbh
This sketch didn't get nearly the laughter it deserved.
Without referencing the story it's hard to get it or see how accurate they are presenting it, but otherwise pretty good if it's accurate, and i'd like to see more of these because it'd be pretty funny. As long as it's taken the right way, you don't want to insult the one's who have moved on to another life, in a higher world entirely. (Smurk)
I just wanna say to the set crew and sound-technicians that you guys are just as much apart of Jk Studios as the cast. As a sound-tech / slide projector manager I feel that yall do not get enough credit, even though you make everything sound better and work.
Okay Matt be looking kinda fine in this sketch 😉
Agaggaga
The return of the fanboys.
@@troythewizard9940 ah ok, I'm sorry!
AHAHA I was thinking the same thing glad im not the only one
I almost feel like this is something pulled from their Divine Comedy days. Can’t prove it, but they used to do a ton of Bible sketches in college.
Yeah, they did and some Mormon ones too.
SO GOOD GUYS.
Just be careful around doing sketches on Bible stories
@@theretaliator3142 Exactly
The fact that matt is dressed exactly like jake from brooklyn 99 lmaoo
Can we just appreciate Matt's scruffy beard...? I love these sketches that this group of very talented people/friends come up with. ❤
IM HERE IM HERE IM HERE
Brooklyn's hereeee
Who’s brooklyn?
@@RaesWAYOverdoingIt Its a Newsies reference, 10/10 would reccomend!
@@macaronweasley8100 ooh yeah I still need to watch that
Ya know they couldn’t put the swim cap on completely but instead they just left it half off for the “effect”
The she-shes got me ngl. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the best JK! Studios sketches I've seen so far.
Yes! More sketches like this! Reminds me of the old Studio C.
matt is channeling that killian jones look and i'm here for it...
oh my gosh i didn't see it before, how could i have been so blind?
Jason and matt sketches are the best ones
Reminds me of the Sam Sloan Twister sketch from Studio C. I wonder why? 😂
Everyone in the comments like THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERIES!! meanwhile people with DryBar+ subscriptions are sitting here like 😎😎😎
Does anyone actually have DryBar+? I certainly don’t have the money to pay for a subscription service that I’ll only use for JK studios
I.... May have a subscription 😆 and yes I do have it purely for JK! And yes half of the stuff I have already seen 😆 I assume Drybar ia doing as just another source of income and that's all well and good. But I'm not too keen on that sort of thing. I'm actually glad there's not a whole section of JK! Stuff that only the elite few get to see. I like their stuff free and on UA-cam. But I also want to support them wherever possible so.... Drybar+
I read this title as She-Ras. Bears probably would of been safer.
This is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh-till-I-cried.
MAN I forget sometimes that Matt is so goddamn attractive.
Glad im not the only one who thinks he is looking FOINE in this sketch. I wasnt brave enough to comment so thank you 😂
Definitely.
Leather jackets and messy hair do suit him 😂😂
@@grandmatildyfromtennessee4605 And his hair is always messy.😉
@@Mariana-td1ox Ahhh, well then you're quite welcome! ;)
Matt looks GOOOOOOOOOOD🔥🔥🔥❤️
Omg, Elisha summoning bears to eat children, that is the best bible story..
I’m sorry but if Jason is wearing a golden swim cap I’m going to die- 😂😂😂
Im wheezing, the last one 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
"She shes" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun facts:
The "Kids" were probably older teenagers.
They were probably yelling much more and worse insults.
There wasn't just one or two mocking him, there were A LOT.
The she-bears only scared them away, there were only one or two deaths at most, but the bible didn't say they were DEAD, the translation would be more accurate as hurt, or injured.
The reason they were female bears is that they attack, as a defence, people/animals that try to harm their children.
These bears weren't in the mindset of: "Oh, I'm hungry, let's eat humans", it was more like "Don't touch my baby".
This isn't 100% fact, but this is the most likely story. Keep in mind how bad google translate is, and how much better it would be described in hebrew.
lol google translate
"fun facts"
*Proceeds to speculate throughout*
Actually, chances are, that they were indeed very young. People back in that day and age were considered adults when they were young teenagers. Even Mary was around 12-14 when she had Jesus and married Joseph. And, the bible said "and [the she bears] tare forty and two children of them" and seeing as they were likely young and were torn into by an enraged she bear, it is safe to assume that most of the 42 children died or were very seriously injured.
Definitely a gang of boys, in the middle of the forest, outside of the comfort of living in the city, pushing insult after insult as they got closer to the single man.
“Baldy” was a marker of total shame too.
and it wasn't just because they called him bald, it was because they were mocking a prophet of God.
can we have a bible story series? this was really fun hearing it from a different perspective
Yes please!
Thy sketches are great, art thou so funny.
oh my gosh, this is hilarious 🤣🤣😂
Sam sloane!
SUP!
Yesss Sam Sloane
As someone with a Mexican grandpa, “she-shes” has a completely different vibe 😂😂😂
Elisha needs to go to anger management therapy.
Amazing sketch
I love it 🥰😂 so amazing great job guys!
Jason in DC'S Psych sketch. Jason: "Who's got a bold head?" 😉
This is amazing
Praise God for you guys!! 😂😘🧡🌸✨
You know... I wonder if two bears could actually kill so many people, who tend to disperse and seek shelter when under attack instead of politely wait their turn to be mauled. Has something like that ever happened? To people who were not lost in the jungle hundreds of miles from cities and chance protection?
here before 300 views 😆 is jason gonna stay with JK studios after he goes back to studio c?
I’m pretty sure he said that was the plan
@@RaesWAYOverdoingIt thanks! i hadn;t heard anything and was curious
I’d like an entire series of Bible cop sketches. :)
Another amazing skit!
Extracting the absurdity of the old testament masterfully.
How many people here watch JK! Studios outside of Utah?
Holy moly... Matt has a beard
My favorite Bible story to tell kids who make fun of my bald head. "You remind me of those kids who made fun of Elisha in the Old Testament. Want to know what happened to them?"
Jason and Matt acting out an insane and obscure Bible story? YES PLEASE!!
Tbh Matt without beard looks like Ted bundy
To be fair, the US did drop two He-bombs in Japan for sinking a boat... Too soon?
To soon
It wasn't just children, they were "youths" so more like teenagers.
UnBEARable pain.
hwat!?
You know how these guys have always been really good at incorporating religion into their comedy and making it really funny without denigrating the religious topic or being offensive? Yeah I kinda wish they'd done that with this Bible Story. Elisha didn't fly into a rage because some kids teased him. The kids (which are more likely to have been young adults at least) were mocking how God had taken Elijah to heaven as if he hadn't actually done it at all. I think the other two from this series I've seen so far are MUCH better.
I don't think they're trying to be disrespectful or educational with the story. Somebody got the idea of the modern justice system reacting to the occasion, and they went from there.
The story itself is offensive. Mocking it and exposing the ridiculousness is the right move.
That was sooo clever and funny!!!
Lmao this is great... But think how many of these stories would end up in a interrogation room today?!
Burning bridges with BYU, are we?
I love the joke with the she bears.
Funniest one so far
i kept expecting Jason to rip off the cap to reveal an even balder bald cap underneath XD
Okay this was hilarious haha
Matt is so handsome. Loving the ruf look
Omg you guys are so funny
This is a great excersise between school of the prophets sessions, stretching is important indeed, very important, as of me the stage is yours please.
I have to say Matt looks cool
Ikr
That leather jacket (chef kiss)
Yep
