Everyone thinks they know what Jesus looked like according to art and iconography. But how accurate are these representations? In this episode, the guys are joined by actor Jonathan Roumie who plays Jesus in the series "The Chosen" as they discuss what Jesus would have looked like according to scripture, sacred art, archaeology, and miraculous visions.

Truth is Jonathan portrays Jesus so well because of his frequenting confession and the Eucharist in preparation to play the roll. He has a prayer life, so Jesus shows through him. ❤️
Jonathan is a powerful evangelist.
Maybe you sll need to read the Bible, because. you make up Jesus as you go along. The Bible says he has very dark skin and woolly hair. God help you when he turns up!
@luzamdg, than many of us should resemble Jesus. Others should see him in us.

@@jeffstumpf9129 He has both physical appearance similar to Jesus's and spiritual growth.
It’s April 19, 2021 , I’m watching this at about 2 in the morning and when Jonathan was saying the Our Father in Aramaic, I broke into tears. Then replayed it 3 more times. 😭It literally spoke to my soul. Thought I’d share.
@@senorita1983hbl Yes I’ve got it. Thanks so much.
@Galina Michael where can I get the hallow app pls 🙏
Michael was the our father in Aramaic said here
Where is that in the video, can't find it
IT'S MAY 29TH AT 1:01 a.m.I am a poet, so I write late...yes, Johnathan's mention was trenchant, indeed!
I cried the minute Jonathan began praying the Aramaic Our Father. He is someone very special! God bless you all for the work you do.
It amazes me when rational so called women Christians say that god could be female, just refer them to Christ’s own words, Our Father!
@@grahamparr3933 God has no gender. By reducing the creative forces into duality would be simplistic.
That was awesome
I speak Aramaic I’m Chaldean
I almost cried listening to him
I teared up immediately too.
Jesus must have been very physically strong. He worked with his hands as a Carpenter and a Fisherman. It still took three hours to kill him after the scourging which would put anyone in intensive care. He must have been a very robust Man who walked great distances constantly. Remember his 40 days in the Desert. Jesus was a very physically strong Man. Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus!!
Paula Diroshea Fernando Have you heard of the word “ incarnate”. He was human on earth and his body functioned like yours and mine! Why do you think he felt pain during his Passion?
Paula Diroshea Fernando Thats why I stated he must of been very robust! He worked as a Carpenter and a Fisherman, was constantly walking, fasted etc! He was fully human which means his body functioned like a Mans body! We also know he liked to eat! The New Testament is full of stories were they are gathered to eat!
A lot of People would of died after the whipping! Today a person would be in intensive care after that! He did need help Getting the Cross to his execution from loss of blood and dehydration! Tuff human being!! He died by suffocating ultimately! As for the “ Creed” you read it again! Don’t be arrogant because someone has an opinion that differs from yours! Remember we are made in His “ image and likeness”!
Paula Diroshea Fernando I never said he wasn’t God and Man at the same time! Problem is you can’t kill God... So during his time here on earth he was totally human with supernatural powers! But.., those supernatural powers had NOTHING to do with his Passion. Otherwise it would mean nothing! What matters most is his resurrection! Without that his death is meaningless! Have a glass of wine and relax! You are not educating anyone just preaching!
Paula Diroshea Fernando Your preaching your the choir! Your off on collateral beliefs! I thought we were talking about weather or not he was human while on earth and during his Passion! Well... He bled didn’t he, he collapsed 3 times after the scourging, he died didn’t he ? So I rest my case! He was God incarnate on earth! Bible 101!
@Samy Nia
This is a correct image of Jesus, as I believe the shroud is valid as the burial cloth of Jesus. The image on the shroud shows that the man's face was beaten very badly, and is terribly swollen, an Armenian artist has painted a picture from the shroud taking the swelling into account, so I would say It is as close to the truth as you may get.
I'm a Southern Baptist born again woman and I am really enjoying this program; I was watching different programs about The Chosen and I "just" landed on this site... what a joy. Thank you for the intelligence and humor and authenticity...my brain cells are jumping! I love Jonathan Roumie as Jesus...I am looking forward to the day when I meet Jesus and He hugs me!
I think he (Jonathan Roumie) has a handsome human face of Christ Jesus & his voice is just so soft humbly compassionate. Thanks Mr. Roumie. God bless you...
Read Isaiah 53:2
@@Blondie2.0 This comment is so senseless!!! 🤦🏻 It does NOT mean Jesus was ugly!!! What it is about is how His handsome face was disfigured by the wounds inflicted on Him during the hours of the passion...
Whoever is teaching you how to interpret the Holy Bible is stealing your time.
Didn't they say Jonathan roumie say he was a actor for sure he actually acting the calm voice
Jonathan Roumie is definitely easy on the eyes! Goodness!
He looks like I hope Jesus looks like.
Guys, this stuff really works!! I’ve been listening to you for only a few days now, and I’m a lifelong Episcopalian but I’ve been asking intercession of the saints, especially Our Lady, and it’s real!!! All of it!! Not only does she hear me, prays for me, and is there for me, she always was!! Even when I was too blind to ask her to be. Thank you guys so much, never stop doing what you’re doing. God bless you all!!
I was a Lutheran, and converted to Catholicism. What's stopping you from doing the same?
Beautiful ❤️
Wonderful. God bless xx
God bless you on your journey! Praise God, He can really move mountains
@@Music7x3 I was also a Lutheran (LCMS) before converting to Catholicism. I feel glad to have grown up in a highly liturgical tradition. The only thing I miss is the old music (my parish uses OCP, of which I am not at all a fan).
when he did the Our Father, chills went through
What ever Jesus look like, I love Jesus.
Thank you Lord that Jonathan Roumie is on Catholic side! I like where he said "playing Christ has become a ministry" for him. He seems very genuine!
Michael Verde it’s important to pray for truth Bc even the elect will fall into the antichrist. We must be careful and ask for guidance each day .
Hearing Jonathan say the Our Father in Aramaic sent shivers of joy down my spine. Thank you for the beautiful episode!
Shivers on the inside. Must've been the Holy Spirit gripping my soul.
Great person Jonathan. JESUS bless him

Jonathan plays Jesus in the Chosen, if you’ve not watched it you should. It’s very moving.
He portrays Jesus amazingly. Such a great actor and Christian
I love the comforting eyes portrayed by Jonathon and his face actually equals the image on the Shroud of Turin.
The Our Father in Aramaic was breath taking!
Can we listen to the Our Father in Aramaic please by Jonathon?
The best part of it was the Our Father in aramaic. I've been following you guys for the last couple of weeks and I love the show. Greetings from Costa Rica.
I’ve become a better Catholic since the pandemic began. This show is definitely one of the best I’ve seen thus far.

In 2011 after I went to bed and I was in deep thought about Psalm 23 and boom I was in Heaven walking with Jesus by the streams of water in Psalm 23. He is taller than I thought, not dark but not light skin, but He was looking down at me with such love, and boom I was back in my body.
ruth musante so brown skin ? And how tall give me an estimate
@@JJ-pn5ut tan...it's from being outdoors in the sun. You would be tan too.
J.J. I heard that they recently calculated Jesus’ height - from the Shroud of Turin, to be 5ft 11 n a half inches - so just under 6 ft, which was quite a bit taller than the general height of most Hebrews at that time!
Greetings fm Australia 🇦🇺
One of the coolest part at 29:29. The Our Father in Aramaic.
Father Richard is smiling so much in this episode it’s awesome 😅
Wonderful edition! I adore this man’s performance of Christ in The Chosen.
I love love The Chosen. It's such a blessing.
29:30 Our Father in Aramiac ... I got chills just listening to Jonathan pray it. A great source of consolation for me on Ash Wednesday 2021. Thank you! Viva Cristo Rey!!! ✝️🙏❤️🕯️🕊️🔥📿🇬🇧
He looks like The Divine Mercy image and the Sacred Heart. Matches up with the Shroud of Turin.
Be Thou My Vision I think that image has been proved to be false
Bye Bye Image of The Divine Mercy is real - Jesus wanted Himself to paint it like that(the first one and not this popular one) and it covers with Turin. Maybe you should read Saint Faustina’s diaries it helped a lot of people in undestanding what Mercy of Jesus is and in Poland we pray at 3 with Chaplet of Divine Mercy and this prayer comes also from Jesus.
@@johnbrowne3950 Absolutely true, but Catholicism is the true faith, per Matthew 16:18, and in John 6 when Jesus commands the Eucharist to be celebrated.
@@johnbrowne3950 The Catholic Church never has stated we crucify Christ again on the cross, and you won't find any theological book, or catechism that states Jesus is recrucified in Calvary again.
When Jesus states do this in memombrance of me, the Greek word used there is anamnesis(biblehub.com/greek/364.htm) which per this Greek lexicon(by Protestants by the way) can also mean a memorial sacrifice; which is interesting b/c every time it's mentioned in the Old Testament, it's used in a sacrificial context.
In the Protestant King James Version(www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+10%3A14-21&version=KJV), Paul clearly distinguishes between the "sacrifices of demons", and the sacrifice that is offered in the mass.
He actually turns his body into bread and wine, and the context itself(in John 6) when speaking of bread supports this. This again is from the King James Version. And I quote
"47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum."
You can clearly see the Jews themselves saw this literally, and Jesus never corrected them, as he did when speaking in the Temple or among his companions. He affirms quite clearly when speaking of the bread, and his blood that it is quite literal. And the interesting thing is, the early Christians(before Constantine's grandfather was even born) spoke of this; it's not a later innovation by Catholics, or the Church getting it from pagans. It's actually spoken outrightly in clear terms by early Christian writers that Jesus meant a real presence; and if we are going after Constantine, the very men the "Reformers" quote like Sts. Augustine, John Chrysostom, etc all teach the same doctrine and affirm a Real Presence.
So not only is your position not based on scripture, from a historical perspective, it cannot be found in the early Christian Church.
@@johnbrowne3950 I asked for a dogmatic canon, or any dogmatic proclamation from the Church, you didn't give me any. I never denied a sacrifice occurs, but it is a memorial sacrifice. Anamnesis can be interpreted as a memorial sacrifice, and the earliest Christians(including the disciples of the Apostles) affirmed that the Eucharist celebration was a sacrifice that occurred. It doesn't mean that transubstantiation doesn't occur.
Interestingly enough, in Revelations 5, the Lamb, which is God, also appears that he is slain. And the 1 Cor verse I quoted clearly evidences the context Paul thinks of with regard to the Eucharist is a mass. What your doing here is positing an either-or-fallacy, where one thing is x, or x? Yet, that isn't the case, for we affirm once more that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is finished, yet we follow the command of Our Lord, when the priest does a memorial sacrifice, an anamnesis.
The teaching on transubstination is "the change of the whole substance of bread into the substance of the Body of Christ and of the whole substance of wine into the substance of his Blood." while still being under the appeareances of bread and wine. In John 6:50-53, we encounter the Greek verb phago, which means eating, yet, in v.54 wnhe he speaks of his flesh and blood, John uses the word trogo, which means to "chew on" and to "gnaw on", which in Greek would have been used to refer to animals eating.
The last time phago is used is in John 6:53 when Jesus says 53 "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you."(KJV). After that, he uses trogo. My sources are these online Protestant lexicons here(www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?page=2&strongs=g5315&t=kjv#lexResults) and (www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?t=kjv&strongs=g5176).
Also, in John 6:58 when both of them appear together, trogo is used when Jesus states "those who eat of the manna(bread) of life will live forever", and my source is the Textus Receptus, the Greek New Testament that is used when the KJV was first published. Here it is: (www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/NTpdf/joh6.pdf) Go to v.58. and you see that ephagon is used for "ate" in the context of those who eat the manna from the desert, and trOgOn is used literally. Where phago can mean a metaphorical context, trogon in the Greek is a stronger verb of the word "eat" and there is no metaphorical context that applies.
So what we have here is this:
1)The Greek word anamanesis when Jesus says "do this in memory of me" can mean a memorial sacrifice; you haven't shown any dogmatic statement or source where the Church says we resacrifice Christ on the Cross. I'm not aware of any major Protestant apologist like James White or John Piper even making that claim. Usually, they will still deny a sacrifice, but afaik, in their debates with Catholics(especially James White, probably the most prominent apologist who debates Catholics), he never once says that we recrucify Jesus on the cross.
2)In John 6, Jesus clearly in the context affirms(as I quoted earlier using the Protestant King James Version) that he means a literal change happens and the bread becomes his body, and the wine his blood. I also showed 1 Cor where Paul is clearly speaking of it in a sacrifical context, and iirc, I quoted the King James Version. Also, Catholicism isn't against a spiritual presence of Christ, but we also affirm a real presence as well. Both can be affirmed.
3)The sentence you posted here that "And of course you can't keep Jesus in a tabernacle in every church. Jesus sits at the right hand of the father in heaven and belongs in the hearts of all those who claim Him as Saviour and Lord." is something that I'm curious about. Jesus can appear to his believers, while still reigning with the Father in heaven. We have never claimed that Jesus leaves heaven when the Eucharist becomes the body and blood. Furthermore, his real presence in the Eucharist doesn't deny that he sits in the right hand of the father. We also affirm he belongs to the hearts of all those who confess him as savior and Lord and wants their salvation.
Also, one statement got my eye here sir. You stated "You can't have it both ways. So if Jesus made the Mass a real miracle it would be His real flesh and blood. But, of course, nothing changes on that altar. So it stands to reason Jesus was speaking metaphorically because He cannot lie." Our Lord, as God of all creation(Hebrews 1), and the image of the invisibel God(Collosians 1:18) is fully within his power to be able to have his body and blood still be under the appearance of bread and wine. It is not something that is impossible. To address your statement, you also stated("If the left over bread has been actually turned into flesh then all other sacrifices which claim, through transsubstantion, to turn the bread and wine into flesh and blood are fake.)", you this is founded on the belief that another memorial sacrifice cannot occur; but that isn't the case.
I am a non catholic but have often had very spiritually genuine catholic friends. I found your program via a link from "The Chosen" podcasts. Enjoyed the program. Blessings in His name.
I would love to believe Jesus must have looked like Jonathan, his face, his eyes full of compassion, his beautiful smile even his hairstyle, his soft dialogue delivery everything about his personality
God bless u Dar
God bless u dear Jonathan for making us love Jesus even more.
WOW! Jonathon! That Our father was so beautiful I was tearing up and I felt it deep in my chest. If I could just get a clip of him praying this I would play it daily. It touched me so deeply now I’m crying while I write this. If any of you missed it, go back to 29:30. It will move you. Thank you so much for that.
Also can hear it for free in the faith channel that was set up for him or his Instagram but will have to look it up and save.
Thank you for posting the time it was said

The Caspians (Persian: کاسپیها, Kaspyn; Greek: Κάσπιοι, Káspioi; Aramaic: ܟܣܦܝ, kspy; Old Armenian: Կասպք, Kaspk’;[1] Latin: Caspi, Caspiani) were a people of antiquity who dwelt along the southwestern shores of the Caspian Sea, in the region known as Caspiane.[2] Caspian is the English version of the Greek ethnonym Kaspioi, mentioned twice by Herodotus among the Achaemenid satrapies of Darius the Great[3] and applied by Strabo.[4] The name is not attested in Old Iranian.[5]
The Caspians have generally been regarded as a pre-Indo-European people. They have been identified by Ernst Herzfeld with the Kassites,[6] who spoke a language not identified with any other known language group and whose origins have long been the subject of debate. However, onomastic evidence bearing on this point has been discovered in Aramaic papyri from Egypt published by P. Grelot,[7] in which several of the Caspian names that are mentioned-and identified under the gentilic כספי kaspai-are, in part, etymologically Iranian. The Caspians of the Egyptian papyri are therefore generally considered as either an Iranian people or strongly under Iranian cultural influence.[5]
In the 5th century BC, during the Persian rule in Egypt, a regiment (Aramaic degel) of Caspians was stationed in Elephantine, as attested in the Elephantine papyri. They are called kspy in Aramaic and shared their regiment with Khwarezmians, Bactrians and other Iranian peoples. They were not the only garrison on Elephantine. There was also a regiment of Jews.[8]
The Caspians are called Caspiani in Mela's De situ orbis, Caspi in Pliny's Natural History, and Caspiadae in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica. In the last work, the Caspians are allies of King Perses of Colchis and appear amongst the Scythian peoples. They are said to have fighting dogs that they take to their graves. This might in fact reflect a variant of the Zoroastrian custom of sky burial, one in which the deceased is left for the dogs to devour.[9]
The Caspiadeans reappear in the medieval Historia de via Hierosolymitana among the people arrayed against the forces of the First Crusade (1096-1099). The anonymous poet, drawing on Flaccus, probably sought to connect the Seljuk Turks, the Crusaders' actual enemy, with the ancient Scythians.

God chose Jonathan in HIS image to be among us .. I feel the same peace and I feel Jesus walks around us . .🙏🏽
I have a very similar story as Jonathan's. It was an answer to a a very specific prayer that I prayed to Jesus..if i could see His face and to know what he looked like in His earthly body. Just like that- like Jonathan's Divine Mercy and St. Faustina- the very next day i receive an email from The Passion Translation Bible (which i get regularly but I dont always open and read) well, I opened to find a link and advertisement to "The Chosen"- I immediately clicked it not knowing that I would sit and watch all 8 episodes of Season 1 in 2 days straight- Talk about 'Binge Jesus' and I thought: this is my answer!! Because you, Jonathan, are the closest to the real Jesus I think has ever been put out there. You even look like the Shroud of Turin image of Jesus' Face
You guys should invite Father Mike Schmitz
Alexander Torres Father Mike is awesome. I would love to see him as a guest too!
I agree
Yes! Please
I agree
I also would like to see Fr. Mike, I am doing the "Bible in a year" & I am truly loving it.
Pontius Pilate's report about Jesus Christ was about the best description He states that Jesus has Soft ocean blue eyes with silver and gold that are ever changing with a gentle kind innocence about his face..he states that Jesus had shoulder length chestnut brown hair with gold highlights that fell in waves and his beard was trimmed neat and his mustache grew down into his chin beard that was twisted in two pieces.. his skin tones were the color of light tanish olive bronze ..he has nice high cheekbones and a straight sculpted nose.. he was well toned with strong sinewy well muscled arms and leggs and he is about 5'10" to 5'11" tall.. Pilate's report says that Jesus had a very open friendly smile and he was a little shy yet friendly! He said a few more things but this is the best description that tells how Jesus looks ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Like to say I am a newly confirming Catholic for one year, listen to the Cathloic radio station on 88.3 everytime I drive anywhere. Love the show, been listening to it for about three years. I have terminal leukemia, was suppose to die in 15 months and by the Grace of God, Going on 4 yrs. Leukemia is still active but being controlled. Your radio station helped me make the decision to change Faith's. I was Baptistized as a Pentecostal Baptist. My Gransparents were ministers and missionaries that traveled to Rome and all the Holy Lands? May God Bless you and keep the precast going.
God bless you sister
How are u now ? Thank you for your sweet sweet spirit. I appreciate you post on the Catholic show
Yom was a test patient for Chemo. Oh how I want to hug you. My mom was Catholic. Good soul. Love you 😀
Jonathan has the most beautiful voice.
I wonder if Mr. Roumie and the others on The Chosen realize; one of THE BIGGEST reasons I am so drawn TO The Chosen is simply because I can see Christ's Mercy; God's Mercy; in his face, and putting it simply... he; Mr. Roumie; is as huggable as we imagine Jesus himself to be... I don't know how many times in my life I had cried simply because I had huge self-doubt and just needed to know if I was/am good enough...and I can honestly say thanks to Mr. Roumie... I can now imagine myself being hugged by Jesus Himself...
Thank you Johnathan you are a beautiful Jesus. You have such a tender compassionate, loving countenance. I love the humor you bring to this oart. I believe he has a wonderful sense of humor. You are perfect for the part.
In my opinion, Jonathan looks like what I would assume Jesus to look like.
The Prince of Pease painting by the young girl Aikaine looks amazingly like Jonathan. I believe it is a modern day miracle. The gift this little girl has been given is amazing. The little boy the the book' Heaven is for Real verified that that is the Jesus he saw in his near-death experience. The book and movie are both amazing. I feel like Jesus is trying to reach many people in our generation by speaking to us through these children.
That Aramaic version of Our Father is just wow. Gave me palpitation and goosebumps.
If Jesus already came back I would have to say HE is Jonathan. The sincerity in his eyes is what gets me.
Looking at Jonathan is giving me chills.
Right? Being serious Catholic boys and talking to him in the studio was a surreal experience.
Jonathan does look like what I think Jesus would look like...it comforts me
When I look at Jonathan I see Jesus. Apparently many of us do. I love that face! And his voice is ridiculously peaceful! I can’t believe his voice!
Wow. I got goosebumps from the Aramaic Our Father...
The Our Father. I felt that. ❤️
That “Our Father” was deeply moving.
I actually subscribed for the app right after hearing this, I love it !
I enjoyed this so much. GREAT show. I was looking for interviews with Jonathan Roumie because I have fallen in love with the TV series The Chosen and it has reignited my faith in a big way. It is mind-blowing that there seems to be a physical similarity between the face on the Shroud of Turin and Jonathan's face, and there are so many things that point to the idea that God had this role in mind for him all along; even from when he was a child of 11 and built a cross in his backyard and hung on it. The Divine Mercy icon picture that showed up on his mailbox is a really powerful story also--Holy Mail as was mentioned here. The Holy Spirit works in and through us if we open ourselves up to it and Jonathan does that every day. His recitation of Our Father in Aramaic just had me weeping. Wow.
This was beautiful. I love Jonathan. He does spread peace, kind and love in his interviews. Beautiful presence. I am so excited for his journey and his influence here on earth. With the blessing of the Lord. Wonderful to see so much faith and love in the Lord. ❤
Wonderful show! Jonathan Roumie is extraordinarily annointed to do this project The Chosen. Thank you for hosting him. Great to find this Catholic Talk Show.
The Our Father in Aramaic always gets me. Incredibly authentic & moving.
I once read a description of Jesus as sent in a letter from a centurion to a fellow soldier. This was forty years ago and I haven't been able to locate the source, but this is what I have carried with me over the years: He has hair the color of new wine, grey eyes that are very lively, beautiful arms, has not been known to laugh but has been seen to cry."
Jonathan Roumie makes and awesome perfomance as Jesús ,and i think that Jesús looked like Jonathan portrays .
He showes us the humanity and the charisman of our Lord.
I congratulate Jonathan ,he's an excellent person and actor.
Love the Aramaic! I’m a Latin/Chaldean Catholic. I learned all my prayers in Latin and I got the Hail Mary down in Aramaic but I really need to learn the Pater Noster...
I have read a complaint from an Aramaic speaking man about Jonathan’s accent. As a matter of fact, since the language was the lingua franca of much of that part of Asia until after the Islamic conquest it was displaced by Arabic, we can know how he pronounced the words. Anyone familiar with “My Fair Lady” and with the early scenes in which professor Higgins is demonstrating his command of linguistics, he learn that the English spoken by the people changed with every neighborhood. in London, and within miles outside London, and of course was spoken differently according to class.
Jesus would have read Hebrew but the way it was pronounced would have been influenced by the language he spoke daily. He spoke Aramaic but as he and his neighbors spoke it. When he moved to the area of the Sea of Galilee, his first hearers would have noticed him as from coming elsewhere. Now consider we are now almost 2000 years later, and despite all efforts to preserve the language of that time, unlikely that any Aramaic speaker today would have pronounced words the same was as Jesus.
I too get a lot of peace when I watch Johnathan in the Chosen. Johnathan has helped me to put a face on Jesus who was more of a spirit but now he is so very real to me.. thank you Johnathan.. May the peace of our dear lord Jesus remain with you always.
I got chills when Jonathan prayed the Lord's prayer in Aramaic. I felt like the Holy Spirit came down and blessed me.
I came across again this episode. I heard again The Lord’ Prayer prayed for us by Jonathan. I felt the same as what I wrote above in my comment.
The Chosen! Great job Jonathan!
Johnathan is a terrific person. I love how he connects to people on the Chosen movie set cast who most are evangelical/protestants. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ.
I saw the shroud of Turin when I lived there, and I can tell you that not only was the presence of the Lord so powerful there, Jonathan looks very much like Jesus’ imprint from the shroud.
It’s excellent for Jesus to be with us in our midst I am really delighted someone identified with Jesus its terribly awesome
Great show! Would have loved to see the images you were discussing.
Times are gonna change soon.
Love,
The Lamb
It doesn't matter what he looked like. It varies because people naturally want his image to reflect whatever they are. So the image isn't really important, it's the energy and message beneath it.
I totally love Jonathan Roumi. He portrayed Jesus amazingly! I love the “chosen”.
Wow hearing the Our Father in Aramaic was so beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏻
So moving, the prayer made me cry. Thank you :)
Me too.❤
Me three! I closed my eyes and it was Jesus praying.
Fr. Pagano...you spoke for me. Jonathan really does have a peaceful look about. Evan better is his voice when he does an middle eastern accent. I watch the chosen to fall asleep these days because Jonathan's Jesus voice is so calming.
Jonathan Roumie shows the straight lines between the soul dedicated to Jesus and the behavior and actions that follow. He's a true disciple of Christ. Listening to him extemporize is better than a lot of sermons (called homilies) I hear that all but blow out the flame within.
This episode tug at so many heart strings 🥰 The “Our Father” brought me to tears 😭 May God continue to bless you in reaching many through this platform 🙏🏽
I have numerous spiritual gifts since a kid. I am blessed to have seen "The Sacred Heart of Jesus" when I was probably 9 y.o. He looked like that one exact image of Jesus of the Sacred Heart. The one I saw was just an all blood red color. Its like a big painting of His face on the sky. There are several versions of that image. He has actually a beautiful face & having a shoulder length hair. When I saw it at first,, I am quiet scared and mesmerized at the same time. He has a compassionate eyes but His eyes reflect a strict and stern looked too.Just believe it or not! God bls us all. 😍🙏🇵🇭
Yes that is very true! Whenever I see mr Roumie I always find peace in my mind.He is a very truthful Jesus.
Jonathon is the perfect choice to play Jesus…he touches my soul.
I hope you get to invite Jonathan Roumie again and talk about The Chosen, please.
Loved the talk with Johnathan whose plays Jesus. Watched season 1 one the Chosen and he was perfect for the part of Jesus!
I'm an Episcopalian, but I really enjoyed this podcast! I was curious about this video's topic. I know Jesus has been represented in different ways all around the world. As a little girl, I saw and liked two depictions of the Holy Family: One from Nigeria and one from China or Taiwan. I agree - It really doesn't matter what Jesus looks like. It's who He is. It's His divine goodness and love. I know that once I meet Jesus in Heaven, I would recognize Him!
BTW - I love The Chosen series. Way before I've watched this video, I've been praying for Jonathan, Dallas, all the other actors and the crew, too. May they all live long and stay well. May God continue to guide them all and bless their good work!
The best JESUS is Jonathan Roumie 🙏
It's a beautiful talk show. Jonathan keep it up. Jesus loves you very dearly.
I watch Jonathan Roumie in "The Chosen" a lot, especially when I am trying to fall asleep. It's on my JESUS CHRIST playlist, which is just before this video. There is something about his voice that makes me feel that it would have been the way JESUS would have spoken if He spoke English.
Years ago, after listening to a discussion regarding what JESUS looked like, I prayed and asked GOD for an image of JESUS when He was a Man on Earth. Afterwards, I saw an image of Him and He looked like Jonathan Roumie except that JESUS was darker and His hair was kinky wavy and long (just below His shoulder).
HIS skin complexion looked like the Bible's description (Brass or Bronze, depending on which Bible version one is reading).
This is the first time I’ve even seen your show. It will definitely be seen by me again. It is so refreshing to hear down-to-earth talk about the Catholic faith and Jesus. Thank you.
I have so enjoyed this talk. I came to Jesus at 24 years and I'm now 76. But I have been in protestant pentecostal churches. I know nothing of the catholic church. Isn't it awesome how Jesus is bringing us together... and messianic jews.
What a powerful episode. The "Our Father" in Aramaic. I have been a fan from the beginning. Keep up the great work.
I got goosebumps during the Aramaic Our Father. Jonathan Roumie was born to play the role of Jesus. Who knows,after he has played Jesus enough times,maybe God will call him to be a monk or priest. His life is already such that people are able to connect to Jesus even better through watching and listening to him. What a beautiful,holy man Jonathan is.❤️
Thank you for saying the our father in aramaic.
I pray for Jonathan daily. 🙏
We lift him up..Amen
Thank you, Catholic Talk Show for sharing your knowledge of all things Catholic. I appreciate the varied and interesting topics you cover and the well-researched information that Ryan Scheel brings to the table for discussion. I've been a practicing Catholic for over 70 years and thanks to you wonderful guys I am still learning new and beautiful things about my faith with every episode. By the way, I love the humor among you all, which is always appropriate and helps discussions from ever becoming a bit stuffy. Lastly, Jonathan Roumie is such a talented man and yes, he does look very much like what I imagine Our Lord did/does! It was such a treat to see him on your show! Thanks again and may God bless you all.
Thank you for a comical yet informative talk.
It is wonderful to have the scriptures come to life. It is nice, knowing how much work is put into making sure it is truth as fact allows.
I love that people who seldom study scripture have another avenue to learn of the Lord and need for a relationship with Him.
I have so enjoyed watching the Chosen, looking forward to more. Yet, apprehensive knowing where it will lead.
I still have scenes of the Passion of Christ in my head.
I imagine those scenes are the hardest for all the crew to perform.
I admire all of you for your part in God's service.
Thank you.
Jonathan Roumie, it is evident that the Holy Spirit has guided you in your portrayal of Jesus in The Chosen! From the very first episode, it touched me and made me take a deeper dive into scripture! My relationship with Christ has increased, and I thank The Chosen for this! May God continue to bless and guide you as your portrayal continues to win souls for God!
Just watched this- what a great show! Jonathan’s Faith in action is amazing! The Aramaic ‘Our Father’ was like something out of this world! Finally watched the 1st season of The Chosen these past 4 days & the Christmas movie today. I’m hooked! 🙏🐠
Great talk as always. Jonathan is amazing. Love you guys.
A gift from God that we can partake in the same Prayer across time and space
Jonathan Rhoumie, now you have to become a Priest of the Catholic Church! The first acting Priest!!!
If someone could play Jesus so well that is Jonathan, he does an amazing work ❤
I seen him in the sky after my daughters step dad passed away on Fathers day 2013, I was so sad, I looked up in the clouds ,Jesus is real . Once again as a teenager I saw him, Very peaceful looking, kind ,loving shoulder length hair .Jesus is real people, Seek him .
Jonathon Roumie looks like the face from the Shroud of Turin. Amazing.
What's really trippy is sometimes he wears a shirt with the shroud of Turin on it.
I think Jonathan has great physicality and masculinity combined with compassion and gentleness
Awesome episode with Jonathan Roumie! God bless you and your apostolate!
I’ve seen so many images from seers and all the descriptions people have from dreams and all are different (some similarities.) Some people say it doesn’t matter, but it does. Not so much of what He looks like but seeing the One who loves me so much, more than anybody could love me. I look forward to the day when I will see Him face to face and see Him as He is.
I cried when Jonathan said the Our Father in Aramaic, it was a powerful moment! Blessings to you at The Catholic Show and to Jonathan Roumie (now interpreting Yeshua in the Chosen show!!)
Where is that can't find it
The Caspians (Persian: کاسپیها, Kaspyn; Greek: Κάσπιοι, Káspioi; Aramaic: ܟܣܦܝ, kspy; Old Armenian: Կասպք, Kaspk’;[1] Latin: Caspi, Caspiani) were a people of antiquity who dwelt along the southwestern shores of the Caspian Sea, in the region known as Caspiane.[2] Caspian is the English version of the Greek ethnonym Kaspioi, mentioned twice by Herodotus among the Achaemenid satrapies of Darius the Great[3] and applied by Strabo.[4] The name is not attested in Old Iranian.[5]
The Caspians have generally been regarded as a pre-Indo-European people. They have been identified by Ernst Herzfeld with the Kassites,[6] who spoke a language not identified with any other known language group and whose origins have long been the subject of debate. However, onomastic evidence bearing on this point has been discovered in Aramaic papyri from Egypt published by P. Grelot,[7] in which several of the Caspian names that are mentioned-and identified under the gentilic כספי kaspai-are, in part, etymologically Iranian. The Caspians of the Egyptian papyri are therefore generally considered as either an Iranian people or strongly under Iranian cultural influence.[5]
Aramaic
In the 5th century BC, during the Persian rule in Egypt, a regiment (Aramaic degel) of Caspians was stationed in Elephantine, as attested in the Elephantine papyri. They are called kspy in Aramaic and shared their regiment with Khwarezmians, Bactrians and other Iranian peoples. They were not the only garrison on Elephantine. There was also a regiment of Jews.[8]
The Caspians are called Caspiani in Mela's De situ orbis, Caspi in Pliny's Natural History, and Caspiadae in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica. In the last work, the Caspians are allies of King Perses of Colchis and appear amongst the Scythian peoples. They are said to have fighting dogs that they take to their graves. This might in fact reflect a variant of the Zoroastrian custom of sky burial, one in which the deceased is left for the dogs to devour.[9]
The Caspiadeans reappear in the medieval Historia de via Hierosolymitana among the people arrayed against the forces of the First Crusade (1096-1099). The anonymous poet, drawing on Flaccus, probably sought to connect the Seljuk Turks, the Crusaders' actual enemy, with the ancient Scythians.
Johnathan don’t ever loose your humble spirit
Amazing episode! Hello from India!
I'm here for Jonathan roumi ❤️
29:36....o my God!!! What for a intense and beatiful language!
Sadly I have learned as roman catholic just the latin and italian prayers, but now we have the possibility to understand across the "cultural barriers" even the lingua franca, aramaic, which Our Lord Jesus spoke...
Jonathan is what I imagine Jesus would look like he has a great personality and a soothing voice and is very compassionate God Bless him xx
Thank you all in this talk show, I'm glued with inspiration and reconfirmed in my faith watching and hearing every bit of the talk show.Voice of Jonathan is truly an experience of hearing God live.Amazing and accurate Jesus in Jonathan.
Excellent episode, very well done
Thoroughly enjoyed your show! Thank you to each of you, and to Jonathan for The Aramaic Our Father. Absolutely beautiful. There is a video of The Our Father sung in Aramaic in honour of Pope Francis visit to Armenia. Again it is beautiful! I highly recommend watching it....I am drawn to watch it very often, and it brings tears to my eyes. God Bless Everyone
Periodically on Father Mitch's show Chaldean Catholics will visit as a group and he will ask them to pray the Our Father in Aramaic before they close the show.
Wow Nancy! How beautiful.
God has definitely blessed Jonathan. Love and God's Blessings
I also cried, like many here, when Jonathan was praying the Our Father, for a moment it was like really listening to Jesus, listening His voice, and realising He knows us, wow 🙏🏼
