To: SN Why oh why did Dallas, not of the catholic (universal) DENOMINATION, include the line from mother, to the 'distaught' and doubtful Mary M., "Come, I'll take you to him." I've been there Mr. real Christian, I did not feel fit enough or worthy enough, because of 'grave sins' and somehow I was led by her to the Lord! Who is really blind here?
@@wi3771 They have a few different biblical scholars as consultants for the show. I know one is a Catholic priest, I believe the other two are an Evangelical pastor and a Rabbi. The different interpretations of the Gospel are extremely well balanced as far as I can see. Nothing completely outrageous that I’ve seen thus far
Most interesting, if you stayed after the premier to watch the interview with Liz Tabish (Mary), is that Mary throwing her arms around Yeshua was NOT scripted! The power of the emotion of the scene just made her instinctively do it. If the scene is that powerful for actors portraying Mary and Yeshua, can you imagine what it will be like when we actually see our real Yeshua face-to-face!?!?!
Amen.. I'll be a blubbering mess. Can't get through a single mass without tears. I am privileged to enter my God' house and be given His forgiveness, and his body and blood. Nothing.. NOTHING can top that, yet billions miss the beauty.
If we will see His face then I urge that (if you're in the Catholic religion) you come out of her, and come to the true Lord and Savior, and become a real Christian, do not be draged into a pit, by your blind priests who you call "father"..."the blind lead the blind and they both fall into the ditch" please I urge you. If you do not come out of that false religion you will perish, there is no purgatory, and you won't be sobbing on "mother Mary's" shoulder, that is blasphemy. Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, not by you're deed but by His finished work on behalf of you.
Btw Matthew is slowly softening being with Jesus. He has a big heart and it is coming to life. He hates dirt and yet helps Mary when she throws up. He is being ‘born again!’
one observation where Mary is vomitting. Note that Matthew who is particular about cleanliness, averse to germs, and all things dirty, somehow is not averse to reaching out to Mary even as she is vomitting. He is using a personal item of clothing (a scarf?) to help keep her hair out of the mess, trying to keep her clean. Matthew also is growing personally, becoming less selfish, and learning to care for others.
As part of The Chosen social media team I have to say, seeing your tear filled reaction after the 28 minute mark made my heart burst! Thank you for this great visual of WHY we do what we do! Can't thank you enough for sharing your emotions with us. Now I need to go find tissue!
It only takes an average of reading 15 min. per-day to read through the KJV Bible in one year... I have used the Bible Pathway Ministries daily guide for 23 years... I will also listen to the KJV as I am reading it...
Maybe someone in the comments mentioned this. But consider that the moment Jesus walks into the synagogue, the rabbi was reading from the Torah basically condemning people. Then in walks God, and in his mercy doesn't condemn but heals. That is so powerful
Both of you were crying when Jesus said, "I forgive you." My wife were teasing me last night when I watched this because I cannot hold back my tears. My pastor/mentor taught us the principle of 1 John 1:9.... "On the other hand, if we admit our sins-simply come clean about them-he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing." (The Message) Yes, if you come to Yeshua, He will always forgive and cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness.
@@lauraontiveros3432 yes he does, but Paul writes about how this is a war with sin (the flesh) in Romans 7:21-8:1. John writes that we shoulda sin but if we do we have a mediator. Nobody, even Christians, are sinless before God other than the fact that God says if you are in Jesus then He sees you as sinless.
You guys held it together WAY better than I did when Jesus says, “I forgive you”. I was sobbing the first time I saw it and again just now. Yes, the world needs to hear that for sure!
Rachael, I keep watching the the 16 episodes and the Christmas Specials, almost as if attending my private church. And, when I need to as to be forgiven, I will play this portion of the scene. Yes, I cry, but believe that Jesus is forgiving me. I can't believe I made it to 67, and knew so little about the Bible. That's changing daily!
You KNOW something is REALLY going on when you start loving the WORDS of Jesus .....even more that seeing the healings. Jonathan aced that scene at the end when he told those Jews in field that he was ''The Lord of the Sabbath'' and that 'he IS The Son of Man!' Just ...WOW! _ALL GLORY_ goes to The KING of kings, and LORD of lords! :D Thank You Guys! Love you both!
I liked how Jesus just got into their faces and just TOLD them. One of the great blessings for me in this series is that it's showing me that Jesus wasn't afraid of people. He was no pushover. He did what He had to do regardless of who liked it or not. Being somewhat timid myself and sometimes afraid of hurting people's feelings, it's been good to see Jesus not being a doormat. Of course I keep jumping back into my Bible to really look at some of His miracles and words spoken and you know what, quite a few of them were done right in FRONT of the Pharisees. Gooooooo Jesus! Yay
I keep coming back to this video all this time later because it's helping me. I've struggled in addiction recovery, seeing progress, but still struggling. I so appreciate this and both of you. Your genuine faith and care for fellow believers is amazing. Lust is hard to overcome, but not impossible. He forgives me and will continue to refine me every day.
I actually struggled today and still am making progress. I keep coming back to this video because I need the truth over and over that Jesus isn't ashamed of me because of what He's already done. I feel sometimes I can't be loved in my struggle.
A saying in AA that I have taken to heart is “Progress, not perfection.” We will never achieve perfection. It’s simply not possible. However, that does not mean you give up. You must strive towards progress, and growth. If you stop growing… well, a plant that ceases to grow is no longer living.
Hi Chad. Please let me encourage you a little. Jesus said that we can find perfection in this life and can do so humbly. He said in fact that we should expect to "be perfect as he is perfect" with his help of course. He also, speaking through John said that we are "finished with sin" and should not expect ourselves to ever sin again. When we do he is quick to forgive us and make our record perfect again, but all the better when we don't miss the mark at all. You can do it Chad! Don't give yourself room to fail. Expect yourself to succeed with Jesus' help and in his name! You can do it!
@@dewaynewatson2675 So, how's that working out for you? Are you living a perfect, sinless life? If you think you are, you're delusional and deceived. Check out 1 John chapter 1. Who did John write this letter to? Christians!! The Apostle Paul wrote about fighting his flesh. It was a major struggle for him! The sinful nature is not done away with at being born again. We lose the the sinful nature when we get our glorified body. Until then, this is the battle we all fight daily. We win battles, and sometimes we lose some. But, Jesus won the war for us! This is why we need the gift of forgiveness for the sins we commit as Christians. Did you catch what Jesus said? He knows we can't live our lives perfectly! All He wants from us is our hearts! And we take life one day at a time! What's Jesus's shed blood for? Not just for salvation, but also to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. After all, He paid the debt for all sin, past, present, and future! That's what makes Him a wonderful Savior! That shed blood sets us free from the slavery to sin! We are free to choose!
@@kathierouse5306 I am not permissive of sin in my life. Temptation and failure come for sure, but I make not allowance nor excuse for them. You've made no point is recognizing that he (Jesus speaking through John) was talking to Christians. Of course he was, and he was expecting perfection. Paul's struggle was real of course. Major? No more than any other. When did Jesus say that we can't live our lives perfectly? That never happened. Are you referring to The Chosen? If so then you have become part of the problem. The Chosen is mostly make believe. He wants far more than your heart. He wants everything or he will take nothing. "to cleanse us from All unrighteousness". I'm sorry that you don't feel like he's powerful enough to help you live a righteous life now. You seem to anticipate your sin. There is not one verse in all of The Bible that suggests that yours is a reasonable Christian perspective. He does indeed forgive endlessly, but all the better if we like Paul, demand better of ourselves and choose Jesus over sin. Of course it's possible. It's like choosing to eat cake instead of excrement. No one would have a problem with that. What sin do you still so enjoy that you expect to choose it over Jesus? I don't have one. I choose him...easily.
Progress not perfection….yes. I was thinking that as I watched as well. I learned years ago that the word Jesus used when He said “be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect” is not our common use of the word. In Greek the connotation is “perfect for the job”. Think about needing a screwdriver to put cabinets together. You have a fancy shiny new screwdriver but it’s the wrong size. So you root around in the tool box and find a rusty old screwdriver with a broken handle. But it fits! So you can build your cabinets. And you say “that’s perfect”. THAT is the meaning of the word “perfect” Jesus used. Not flawless. But made for a purpose and perfect for the job to which you were called.
As a Messianic individual who majored in Classical Hebrew at Uni, it's wonderful to see you give people the background of the society at the time of Yeshua. Thank you!
When the priest says to David that "something was going to come through you, something bigger, more exciting" wouldn't that be a reference to the lineage of Christ coming through David? That's what I thought of when he said that...a foreshadowing of the coming of Christ.
Yes...GOD made certain that the Bloodline was told that The Lord Jesus would descend through 'him 'her, with each generation, in the way He knew that they would have known to suck it up, and to do what was asked of them. Remember...the people always referred to 'Father Abraham, David, even beginning with Eve...and so many more. So the following bloodline would remember what they were told, if they didn't already understand when GOD told them.
I love how you two critique the show from such a wholesome Christian point of view!!! Thank you!!! Really enjoy your show!!! I love your hearts for God!!! 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
Yes, It took three viewings for me to notice the “look up” and yes, the implication is that David was referring to The Heavenly King sending him on mission.
What just hit me is the One Who finished His Work on the 7th day and rested, is now choosing to do love's work on the 7th day because He is our rest. He is remarkable.
I’ve watched several of your reviews and I must say I love yours the best. Must be your knowledge of first century history that brings me back. Oh and the humor you two share. Love the little coffee/tea cups and you can get a mug warmer from Amazon that will keep a larger mug warm. 😃 Your tears when Yeshua forgave Mary brought me to tears. Such beautiful and true emotions. I’m completely sold on your reviews. Thank you.
I am a Roman Catholic and I love The Chosen. The scene were Mary Magdalene comes back reminds me of the sacrament of confession. Mother Mary accompanying Mary reminds me how mother Mary gives me the strength to go to confession and reminds she's always a mother by my side. Jesus waiting in the tent for Mary reminds me of how Jesus waits for me in confession. And the scene were Mary hugs Jesus reminds me how Jesus forgives me in confession.
What I love about this particular series is that there’s are some things that are not biblically accurate or correct, but yet there are powerful scenes that are creatively made to were everyday people can relate to, and that’s what I love about it.
I love watching you two watch this. I cannot tell you the joy I feel seeing your faces. So great. Thank you for all of your knowledge and being so upfront with us. 💖💖💖
I learn so much from both of you and you really make me want to read my Bible more and more! The Chosen also does that but your understanding of Rabbinic teachings just breaks it open wide for me. Thank you so much!!
Wow, Golgotha was named after Goliaths head? Love these data. This was a loaded episode and I so appreciated your reactions and connecting the Old with the New. I had the same reaction to “I forgive you.” God bless you! I’m getting an education listening to you .
My husband and I have had great discussions about the Bible while watching THE CHOSEN. I have learned more than at any other time in my 70 years!! The 10 are more intense than the 613!
I love the way the scene of the disciples eating the grain was portrayed. In Torah the edges of the fields are left for the travellers and needy and are not meant to be harvested by the owner so the disciples aren't taking something that belongs to someone else. This scene is so beautiful how they all joyfully eat from the provision of God, not only that He's in their midst but that His Word ensures that the poor and needy are provided for. 💕🙏🏽
I am guessing that The Chosen filming will take a break after episode 8 and come then back to film season 3…I hope you guys will be able to have time during that break to watch and comment on more episodes, maybe even full episodes. I have learned so much from the two of you and am so glad I found your channel!
Watched it on the premier, man I was crying when Mary Magdalene came to Jesus, it was a picture of what all of us go through. So powerful and convicting.
As a Catholic and huge fan of The Chosen, I’m learning SO much from you guys. I absolutely love how you enhance your commentary with explanations to things I’ve never quite understood and little snippets of expert knowledge. My mind repeatedly goes 💡!
It's my understanding that Messiah never broke Sabbath or any Torah commandment [or he couldn't be the 'spotless lamb' of God]. BUT he did break the Takanot and Ma'asim of the Pharisees...the burdensome yolk that God's people were never meant to carry. Stay Blessed!
@@samanthashirley206 I don't think it's a matter of them not making it more clear. I think that they likely hold fast to the perspective that Messiah did away with the Torah because it was a burden. That's where I believe the subtle nudges about the prayers etc are leading. Mind you, Torah doesn't express that they had to have specific prayers for when they woke up, to use a negel vessel to ceremonially wash their hands etc. I think if more people could point this out in the comments section to The Chosen maybe Father could use that seed to have them look a bit closer at scripture.
@@al-8026 yes, I've been considering writing to them about this. They've done such a good job on everything else. And I do believe they are sincere and Holy Spirit led. But I keep thinking, who would listen to me? But you are right, if a bunch of us point this out... who knows. Yeshua bless you, Shabbat Shalom!
@@samanthashirley206 I agree with you, Samantha! I, too, wish that more research had been done on who the Pharisees actually were and where they came from. I have seen the conversations Dallas had with the 3 clergymen. What I don't understand is why Rabbi Jason, nor Doug, went into greater detail. Dallas has this idea that the Pharisees were really not all that bad, that they weren't villains. The truth is, they made the claim that if people just obeyed the Traditions of the Elders, that would be considered the fulfillment of the Torah. I would also like to point out the wrath of the Pharisees. Was their hostility justified? Were they right in accusing Jesus of breaking the sabbath and the Torah? One more question...in John chapters 10-11, Jesus said the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy the sheep. Who was actually the thief? If we look at this in context, Jesus was addressing the Pharisees! He pointed out that they were the thieves! Want to know more? I recommend a video on UA-cam channel called Steven Kozar. He has dialogue with Pastor Chris Rosebrough regarding the Pharisees and their real identity. It's very interesting and eye opening! I learned some things I was never taught. Wow! I have listened to their video several times, and as I think about what they said, a lot of passages of Scripture start to make more sense to me. I feel lights coming on inside of me! Please don't get me wrong, I dearly love The Chosen show. It's marvelous and magnificent! But I seriously believe that people need to know the real background of the Pharisees, then everything makes sense! Please let me know your thoughts and opinions. 😊👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@samanthashirley206 Messiah turned fishermen into fishers of men..never underestimate what Father can do through you when you step out in faith and obedience.
Interesting point. They move from a condemnation free zone to the synagogue which feels full of condemnation (to the tenth generation!) Which should have been one of welcoming compassion.
I love how Christ said, 'what you think you'd stay holy'.. former episode he flatout told the 'thunder boys' his whole reason for being there was no one was worthy of heaven. Makes you stop to think, even saved, how every day you pick up your cross and you try to be what God & Jesus wants... and some days, its tough. Aside from that, I love how Matthew is expressing interest in Mary. Its sweet.
Another insightful look into The Chosen. Thank you very much for the historical and cultural context. I hope you can do a separate video focusing on the Jewish scholars, the legal/political/scriptural tension and debates among the Pharisees on how they assess Jesus' actions, and more of the Shammai vs Hillel schools of thought once all S2 episodes are shown.
When they ate the wheat, earlier in this episode Thomas counted the last of their lentils. I was in the Valley if Elah a few years back. The wheat that grows there is really cool
A very Catholic- Christian phase here. Mary takes Mary to Jesus; Jesus is meditating in a 'confessional', Mary confesses sins, shows remorse, and Jesus (in the person of the Priest) forgives her sin. You guys can refer to the Catholics have not made up/man-made sacrament. Give props guys with fuller exposition. I like your sensitivity and courage!
I noticed that Mary took Mary Magdalene to Jesus. I thought it was great. I didn't catch the significance of the tent/confessional. Thanks! There are some others who noticed and commented about the Mary connection. Unfortunately, some replies to those comments were very anti-Catholic. Rather than be angry perhaps I should thank God that I am in the Church that the gates of Hell won't prevail against. God Bless!
I was crying and then, smiling throughout your whole video. "The Chosen" show is really amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this!! I believe in Yahshua Messiah!! And how i long to see Him coming again for us!! Keep up your good work. Surely, He will bless you.
Had a lump in my throat and teary eyes during that forgiveness scene as well. That's the power of God's grace at work. I think it's so much more meaningful, not just the first time round encountering it but realizing it is a resilient, enduring grace despite our weakness and backsliding.
I really appreciate the way you explain things. I’ve learned so much just from listening to you talk about the stories in the Bible. I actually subscribed so that I can learn more! Thank you ☺️🙏 Haha 😂 I love the bloopers!
I really enjoy you guys explanations of the scenes and doing so within the context of Hebrew practices as it is meant in the Bible. Whilst I am Christian, the way I am taught is more based on Western interpretation of the Bible (I am in the Caribbean, Jamaica to be exact, so our introduction to Christianity is entwined with our colonial experiences), so it is very refreshing and an eye opener for me listening to your perspectives and learning and seeing the Bible based on the Hebrew understanding. Blessings to you both.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣Good one, Rey! I have a Bible joke. Did you know that baseball is found in the Bible? You know how I know? In Genesis, it says, "In the Big Inning..."! LOL
I watched the episode already. But man! I appreciate your explanations and ideas and insights. Cried with you on Jesus and Mary's scene in the tent. Please keep making reaction videos! ❤️ Shalom!!!
There is a puddle of tears on my desk, after watching the video. Those words "I forgive you" and then knowing what it cost him to pay for our sins. I´m deeply touched. BTW I can see Jesus in you both. Its like you make him visible. Especially the Guy with the short hair. It seems you had to dig deep to get to this place. You will touch the Lifes of many people ,so they can encounter Jesus.
Brother Tom, since you are making your studies about Shabbat, please make a reaction video on Season 1, Episode 2 "Shabbat" This is one of my favorite episode on season 1. Please, please please....
Thanks for the Bible study follow up, this bleeds GRACE, unmerited favor Jesus gives us - This episode made you feel it, the unmerited love of Jesus.. We believe in grace but now we felt it with Mary M restored....This is Anointed by the Holy Spirit.. P.S.-- Moved when Jesus was in grief over Johns arrest.......Life- changing
You two add so much to my The Chosen experience! Thank you so much! I am recommending your channel to others who watch The Chosen. I'm SO glad I found you. Shalom! From Mechanicsville, Virginia.
First time commenter, long time watcher. Just kidding, first time watcher. But Matt, I love your giggle in the out takes. Nice work all of you! Thanks for helping break it down. On top of what the Chosen has already done, you and made the Word even more understandable and loveable.
alot more info about golgotha from Ron Wyatt. Jesus was crucified there then there was an earthquake and the ground cracked and the roman stuck his spear in Jesus' side. the blood ran down through the crack all the way to the mercy seat of the ark some 50-60 feet blow the ground. proving that the sacrifice Jesus made was legitimate and for everyone. ua-cam.com/video/T_l9pUIeBak/v-deo.html the blood samples came back as having all the chromosomes from the mother and only 1 chromosome from the father
@@Q5Grafx I have seen video of the blood and the chromosomes. I am awestruck! What really blew me away and touched me deeply was when Ron told about having the blood sample analyzed by the Jewish lab techs. After the analysis, the lab tech asked him where did the blood come from. And to see them weep when he answered, from your Messiah. I know that there are naysayers who don't believe it. But I believe it!
Great review guys. Enjoyed your take on this episode of The Chosen. It was nice to see Dallas Jenkins join in the streaming chat. My third time watching those scenes and I was just as emotional about them. Thanks and keep up the great work!!
I love watching your videos. Especially on the chosen because y’all teach me so much that i didn’t know and you all had the same reaction to the scene with Jesus and Mary as i did. No words. Just tears.
That was great! Can I suggest you guys to do the rection of the whole episodes instead of just parts of them? Would be incredible to watch them with you 😁😉 God bless you !
One of the most beautiful, heart-melting parts is when Mathew is holding Mary's hair, in spite of his severe distaste for uncleanliness.
Yeah..and the other worried about where her head scarf is...
I thought Simon asked where Matthew's scarf was because Mathew used it to wipe her mouth.
Right?
That was beautiful! For me, it was when Jesus told Mary, “I forgive you”. Did you hear him saying it to all of us? I felt like he was speaking to me.
@@sislertx Actually Simon asked where Matthew's handkerchief was. He was surprised, I think, because Matthew is showing how Jesus has changed him.
Pharisee: IF HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HEALED GOD WOULD HAVE DONE IT HIMSELF!!!!
God: Interesting point.
A favorite line!
Thet couldnt sew God in their midst doing miracles.

When we do he is quick to forgive us and make our record perfect again, but all the better when we don't miss the mark at all. You can do it Chad! Don't give yourself room to fail. Expect yourself to succeed with Jesus' help and in his name! You can do it!

So, how's that working out for you? Are you living a perfect, sinless life? If you think you are, you're delusional and deceived. Check out 1 John chapter 1. Who did John write this letter to? Christians!!
The Apostle Paul wrote about fighting his flesh. It was a major struggle for him! The sinful nature is not done away with at being born again. We lose the the sinful nature when we get our glorified body. Until then, this is the battle we all fight daily. We win battles, and sometimes we lose some. But, Jesus won the war for us! This is why we need the gift of forgiveness for the sins we commit as Christians. Did you catch what Jesus said? He knows we can't live our lives perfectly! All He wants from us is our hearts! And we take life one day at a time! What's Jesus's shed blood for? Not just for salvation, but also to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. After all, He paid the debt for all sin, past, present, and future! That's what makes Him a wonderful Savior! That shed blood sets us free from the slavery to sin! We are free to choose!
@@kathierouse5306 I am not permissive of sin in my life. Temptation and failure come for sure, but I make not allowance nor excuse for them. You've made no point is recognizing that he (Jesus speaking through John) was talking to Christians. Of course he was, and he was expecting perfection. Paul's struggle was real of course. Major? No more than any other. When did Jesus say that we can't live our lives perfectly? That never happened. Are you referring to The Chosen? If so then you have become part of the problem. The Chosen is mostly make believe. He wants far more than your heart. He wants everything or he will take nothing. "to cleanse us from All unrighteousness". I'm sorry that you don't feel like he's powerful enough to help you live a righteous life now. You seem to anticipate your sin. There is not one verse in all of The Bible that suggests that yours is a reasonable Christian perspective. He does indeed forgive endlessly, but all the better if we like Paul, demand better of ourselves and choose Jesus over sin. Of course it's possible. It's like choosing to eat cake instead of excrement. No one would have a problem with that. What sin do you still so enjoy that you expect to choose it over Jesus? I don't have one. I choose him...easily.
Progress not perfection….yes. I was thinking that as I watched as well. I learned years ago that the word Jesus used when He said “be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect” is not our common use of the word. In Greek the connotation is “perfect for the job”. Think about needing a screwdriver to put cabinets together. You have a fancy shiny new screwdriver but it’s the wrong size. So you root around in the tool box and find a rusty old screwdriver with a broken handle. But it fits! So you can build your cabinets. And you say “that’s perfect”. THAT is the meaning of the word “perfect” Jesus used. Not flawless. But made for a purpose and perfect for the job to which you were called.
@@dewaynewatson2675 see my post above. The word Jesus used in Greek does not mean perfect as we use it today. It does not mean flawless
You two are so fun together. The Jewish history insights are great!
As a Messianic individual who majored in Classical Hebrew at Uni, it's wonderful to see you give people the background of the society at the time of Yeshua. Thank you!
also.. i will be waiting for that Grafted + Dallas video... more blessings to you guys
Great idea
@@ktsion6657 Dallas said it himself during the live chat... exciting.
I am watching your take on S2 E6 right now!!! For about the 3rd time!
I don't normally make comments on UA-cam. Thanks for doing this guys. I am a Christian. It's makes it easier to understand The Chosen. Great job!!!
"I forgive you". Man, I, in that moment, imagined Him saying that to me. It made me cry.
When the priest says to David that "something was going to come through you, something bigger, more exciting" wouldn't that be a reference to the lineage of Christ coming through David? That's what I thought of when he said that...a foreshadowing of the coming of Christ.
Yes...GOD made certain that the Bloodline was told that The Lord Jesus would descend through 'him 'her, with each generation, in the way He knew that they would have known to suck it up, and to do what was asked of them.
Remember...the people always referred to 'Father Abraham, David, even beginning with Eve...and so many more.
So the following bloodline would remember what they were told, if they didn't already understand when GOD told them.
I love how you two critique the show from such a wholesome Christian point of view!!! Thank you!!! Really enjoy your show!!! I love your hearts for God!!! 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
The second time David referred to the King he raised his eyes upward. ☝️✝️
Yes. I think he was referring to God.
@@KgakgamatsoCasandra of course he was. Wonderful
Yes, It took three viewings for me to notice the “look up” and yes, the implication is that David was referring to The Heavenly King sending him on mission.
I really like your insight/explanation about the authority of Jesus on the sabbath. Really great reaction video.
Not sabbath its Sabbath capital S to explain specific day.
What just hit me is the One Who finished His Work on the 7th day and rested, is now choosing to do love's work on the 7th day because He is our rest. He is remarkable.
I’ve watched several of your reviews and I must say I love yours the best. Must be your knowledge of first century history that brings me back. Oh and the humor you two share. Love the little coffee/tea cups and you can get a mug warmer from Amazon that will keep a larger mug warm. 😃
Your tears when Yeshua forgave Mary brought me to tears. Such beautiful and true emotions. I’m completely sold on your reviews. Thank you.
I am a Roman Catholic and I love The Chosen. The scene were Mary Magdalene comes back reminds me of the sacrament of confession. Mother Mary accompanying Mary reminds me how mother Mary gives me the strength to go to confession and reminds she's always a mother by my side. Jesus waiting in the tent for Mary reminds me of how Jesus waits for me in confession. And the scene were Mary hugs Jesus reminds me how Jesus forgives me in confession.
What I love about this particular series is that there’s are some things that are not biblically accurate or correct, but yet there are powerful scenes that are creatively made to were everyday people can relate to, and that’s what I love about it.
I love watching you two watch this. I cannot tell you the joy I feel seeing your faces. So great. Thank you for all of your knowledge and being so upfront with us. 💖💖💖
I learn so much from both of you and you really make me want to read my Bible more and more! The Chosen also does that but your understanding of Rabbinic teachings just breaks it open wide for me. Thank you so much!!
Wow, Golgotha was named after Goliaths head? Love these data. This was a loaded episode and I so appreciated your reactions and connecting the Old with the New. I had the same reaction to “I forgive you.” God bless you! I’m getting an education listening to you .
Yes I agree I too love the education I'm getting from these two guys. Love Grafted...love it!!!
My husband and I have had great discussions about the Bible while watching THE CHOSEN. I have learned more than at any other time in my 70 years!! The 10 are more intense than the 613!
I love the way the scene of the disciples eating the grain was portrayed. In Torah the edges of the fields are left for the travellers and needy and are not meant to be harvested by the owner so the disciples aren't taking something that belongs to someone else.
This scene is so beautiful how they all joyfully eat from the provision of God, not only that He's in their midst but that His Word ensures that the poor and needy are provided for. 💕🙏🏽
When Mary says,
"I broke again"...
I keep breaking, too!
Seeing you guys cry is such an encouragement.
Don't worry, I cried too! Then I cried when you cried.
Hello from Australia. 🇭🇲
Me too. Also in Australia...
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
@@Grafted Oi Oi Oi!!!
@@mezza4711 🇭🇲 😀
When David says "the King", he looks up indicating a different 'King' than most of us assume as being Saul, but it's not.
I am guessing that The Chosen filming will take a break after episode 8 and come then back to film season 3…I hope you guys will be able to have time during that break to watch and comment on more episodes, maybe even full episodes. I have learned so much from the two of you and am so glad I found your channel!
Good morning
The Chosen season 3 premises November 2022
I cried in the episode and when y’all cried 😭
Right, so powerful!
Me too, I cried the first time but cried more with you guys. 😭
Watched it on the premier, man I was crying when Mary Magdalene came to Jesus, it was a picture of what all of us go through. So powerful and convicting.
You guys are so much fun to watch and listen to 😀😀😍😍
I agree with you. You need someone like Matthew.. in your circle and in the body of Christ..
I really appreciate the insights you offer that I did not get growing up in a protestant church. Thank you!
As a Catholic and huge fan of The Chosen, I’m learning SO much from you guys. I absolutely love how you enhance your commentary with explanations to things I’ve never quite understood and little snippets of expert knowledge. My mind repeatedly goes 💡!
It's my understanding that Messiah never broke Sabbath or any Torah commandment [or he couldn't be the 'spotless lamb' of God]. BUT he did break the Takanot and Ma'asim of the Pharisees...the burdensome yolk that God's people were never meant to carry. Stay Blessed!
Yes! I wish the Chosen would make this distinction more clear!
@@samanthashirley206 I don't think it's a matter of them not making it more clear. I think that they likely hold fast to the perspective that Messiah did away with the Torah because it was a burden. That's where I believe the subtle nudges about the prayers etc are leading. Mind you, Torah doesn't express that they had to have specific prayers for when they woke up, to use a negel vessel to ceremonially wash their hands etc.
I think if more people could point this out in the comments section to The Chosen maybe Father could use that seed to have them look a bit closer at scripture.
@@al-8026 yes, I've been considering writing to them about this. They've done such a good job on everything else. And I do believe they are sincere and Holy Spirit led. But I keep thinking, who would listen to me? But you are right, if a bunch of us point this out... who knows. Yeshua bless you, Shabbat Shalom!
@@samanthashirley206
I agree with you, Samantha! I, too, wish that more research had been done on who the Pharisees actually were and where they came from. I have seen the conversations Dallas had with the 3 clergymen. What I don't understand is why Rabbi Jason, nor Doug, went into greater detail.
Dallas has this idea that the Pharisees were really not all that bad, that they weren't villains. The truth is, they made the claim that if people just obeyed the Traditions of the Elders, that would be considered the fulfillment of the Torah.
I would also like to point out the wrath of the Pharisees. Was their hostility justified? Were they right in accusing Jesus of breaking the sabbath and the Torah?
One more question...in John chapters 10-11, Jesus said the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy the sheep. Who was actually the thief? If we look at this in context, Jesus was addressing the Pharisees! He pointed out that they were the thieves!
Want to know more? I recommend a video on UA-cam channel called Steven Kozar. He has dialogue with Pastor Chris Rosebrough regarding the Pharisees and their real identity. It's very interesting and eye opening! I learned some things I was never taught. Wow! I have listened to their video several times, and as I think about what they said, a lot of passages of Scripture start to make more sense to me. I feel lights coming on inside of me!
Please don't get me wrong, I dearly love The Chosen show. It's marvelous and magnificent! But I seriously believe that people need to know the real background of the Pharisees, then everything makes sense! Please let me know your thoughts and opinions. 😊👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@samanthashirley206 Messiah turned fishermen into fishers of men..never underestimate what Father can do through you when you step out in faith and obedience.
Is great to see others breaking down and crying from Yeshua's words. almost every episode makes me cry
Wow I have really enjoyed these reactions and learning more about the Jewish context! Please keep doing these reactions!
some of us do go astray and we need to come back. The backslider needs, must come back. She,s the lost sheep. Amen!
You guys! I love how you review these episodes. “Condemnation-free zone”! Love it!!!!
Interesting point. They move from a condemnation free zone to the synagogue which feels full of condemnation (to the tenth generation!) Which should have been one of welcoming compassion.
I love how Christ said, 'what you think you'd stay holy'.. former episode he flatout told the 'thunder boys' his whole reason for being there was no one was worthy of heaven. Makes you stop to think, even saved, how every day you pick up your cross and you try to be what God & Jesus wants... and some days, its tough. Aside from that, I love how Matthew is expressing interest in Mary. Its sweet.
Another insightful look into The Chosen. Thank you very much for the historical and cultural context. I hope you can do a separate video focusing on the Jewish scholars, the legal/political/scriptural tension and debates among the Pharisees on how they assess Jesus' actions, and more of the Shammai vs Hillel schools of thought once all S2 episodes are shown.
We all need Yeshua's forgiveness, healing and freedom. He is The Son of Man!
Really enjoy you sharing from Jewish prospective, I am a visual learner so appreciate Chosen and your input.🇨🇦🙏✡️
When they ate the wheat, earlier in this episode Thomas counted the last of their lentils.
I was in the Valley if Elah a few years back. The wheat that grows there is really cool
I was impacted at how Matthew's propensity to gag, disappeared to help Mary.
Catholic here. Just wanted to say how much I love messianics. You guys’ reverence is inspiring
We didn't just need to hear it we needed to see it Jesus & Mary
A very Catholic- Christian phase here. Mary takes Mary to Jesus; Jesus is meditating in a 'confessional', Mary confesses sins, shows remorse, and Jesus (in the person of the Priest) forgives her sin. You guys can refer to the Catholics have not made up/man-made sacrament. Give props guys with fuller exposition. I like your sensitivity and courage!
I totally resonated with that too when I watched the premier.
@@erinw8732 Interesting validation of at least some of a much maligned sacrament.
I noticed that Mary took Mary Magdalene to Jesus. I thought it was great. I didn't catch the significance of the tent/confessional. Thanks!
There are some others who noticed and commented about the Mary connection. Unfortunately, some replies to those comments were very anti-Catholic. Rather than be angry perhaps I should thank God that I am in the Church that the gates of Hell won't prevail against. God Bless!
I've watched this several times since it aired! I get tears in my heart! I am so very happy you do these deep dives into clips. I BELIEVE in you!!
I was crying and then, smiling throughout your whole video. "The Chosen" show is really amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this!! I believe in Yahshua Messiah!! And how i long to see Him coming again for us!! Keep up your good work. Surely, He will bless you.
I cried too at that point. It brought back memories of Him forgiving me, oh so many times.
Had a lump in my throat and teary eyes during that forgiveness scene as well. That's the power of God's grace at work. I think it's so much more meaningful, not just the first time round encountering it but realizing it is a resilient, enduring grace despite our weakness and backsliding.
I really appreciate the way you explain things. I’ve learned so much just from listening to you talk about the stories in the Bible. I actually subscribed so that I can learn more! Thank you ☺️🙏
Haha 😂 I love the bloopers!
I really enjoy you guys explanations of the scenes and doing so within the context of Hebrew practices as it is meant in the Bible. Whilst I am Christian, the way I am taught is more based on Western interpretation of the Bible (I am in the Caribbean, Jamaica to be exact, so our introduction to Christianity is entwined with our colonial experiences), so it is very refreshing and an eye opener for me listening to your perspectives and learning and seeing the Bible based on the Hebrew understanding. Blessings to you both.
Shalom Charmaine in Jamaica!
Ok... I'm in tears all over again...the scene with Mary... extremely powerful 😇
You two guys make my day...I too sometimes sit corrected. Love what you do.
You guys are doing a wonderful job God bless you
Loved loved loved this! You guys really are giving me much longed for insights. Y’all making me thirst for more!
“That’s deliverance where I come from.” That’s a great Bible Joke
For your joke book... my favorite Old Testament joke:
How does Moses drink his tea?
Hebrews it!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣Good one, Rey! I have a Bible joke. Did you know that baseball is found in the Bible? You know how I know? In Genesis, it says, "In the Big Inning..."! LOL
Here's another: Did you know they drive Hondas in heaven? The bible describes angels singing in one Accord.
🤭🤣🤣
Love it!
I heard another one yesterday. "How are your preparations for Rosh Hashanah coming?" "Shofar, sho good!"
I watched the episode already. But man! I appreciate your explanations and ideas and insights. Cried with you on Jesus and Mary's scene in the tent.
Please keep making reaction videos! ❤️ Shalom!!!
There is a puddle of tears on my desk, after watching the video. Those words "I forgive you" and then knowing what it cost him to pay for our sins. I´m deeply touched.
BTW I can see Jesus in you both. Its like you make him visible. Especially the Guy with the short hair. It seems you had to dig deep to get to this place. You will touch the Lifes of many people ,so they can encounter Jesus.
Love the Bob Ross insert 😂. On a serious note, oh how we need the teachers during these times...The Lord bless and keep you and yours 🕊️🙏
Brother Tom, since you are making your studies about Shabbat, please make a reaction video on Season 1, Episode 2 "Shabbat" This is one of my favorite episode on season 1. Please, please please....
Thanks for the Bible study follow up, this bleeds GRACE, unmerited favor Jesus gives us - This episode made you feel it, the unmerited love of Jesus.. We believe in grace but now we felt it with Mary M restored....This is Anointed by the Holy Spirit.. P.S.-- Moved when Jesus was in grief over Johns arrest.......Life- changing
Praise Jesus Our Lord and Savior! What a beautifully powerful episode ❤️
I felt that scene too. 😭
Love your reaction videos!. Keep going. 😊
You two add so much to my The Chosen experience! Thank you so much! I am recommending your channel to others who watch The Chosen. I'm SO glad I found you.
Shalom! From Mechanicsville, Virginia.
First time commenter, long time watcher. Just kidding, first time watcher. But Matt, I love your giggle in the out takes. Nice work all of you! Thanks for helping break it down. On top of what the Chosen has already done, you and made the Word even more understandable and loveable.
Aloha from Hawaii 🙋 ❤ 🌺 What an awesome sight you are dear brothers. Thank you for being real. Aloha 😙 🙌 ❤
So powerful, and I am so blessed that you guys stopped talking during the clips and paused it to comment. Thank you!
The scene where Mary hugs Yeshua after He says "I Forgive You" was unscripted and they decided to keep that take.
YOU UNDERSTAND SO MUCH AND IT MAKES IT INTERESTING TO WATCH YOUR CHANNEL.
loved the part about Goliath and golgotha
alot more info about golgotha from Ron Wyatt. Jesus was crucified there then there was an earthquake and the ground cracked and the roman stuck his spear in Jesus' side. the blood ran down through the crack all the way to the mercy seat of the ark some 50-60 feet blow the ground. proving that the sacrifice Jesus made was legitimate and for everyone.
ua-cam.com/video/T_l9pUIeBak/v-deo.html the blood samples came back as having all the chromosomes from the mother and only 1 chromosome from the father
@@Q5Grafx
I have seen video of the blood and the chromosomes. I am awestruck! What really blew me away and touched me deeply was when Ron told about having the blood sample analyzed by the Jewish lab techs.
After the analysis, the lab tech asked him where did the blood come from. And to see them weep when he answered, from your Messiah. I know that there are naysayers who don't believe it. But I believe it!
Great review guys. Enjoyed your take on this episode of The Chosen. It was nice to see Dallas Jenkins join in the streaming chat. My third time watching those scenes and I was just as emotional about them. Thanks and keep up the great work!!
I’m so glad you were so vulnerable and let yourself feel! Yes everyone needs to hear those words from Christ!
I love watching your videos. Especially on the chosen because y’all teach me so much that i didn’t know and you all had the same reaction to the scene with Jesus and Mary as i did. No words. Just tears.
I’ve watched The Chosen over and over, and this scene, when Jesus says “I forgive you” tears run down my face every time
I love you guys! You make The Chosen even better.
I love watching your reaction videos. I hope you continue.
Such a pleasure listening to you two, and learn more good things!😙👍🏼
That was great! Can I suggest you guys to do the rection of the whole episodes instead of just parts of them? Would be incredible to watch them with you 😁😉
God bless you !
So appreciate your help in understanding The Chosen. I really love you guys. I love laughter when talking seriously. You two are so special.
I have watched the 6th , that I was amazed and loved, but I really appreciate having you both giving an explanation and comments on it. Thank you
