Very good point, Archbishop Smith, about both the Apostles and Jesus being "the Chosen ones," going back and forth. Thank you.

One reason Christ doesn't rush to Lazarus is because He's that far away (three days journey i believe) that He wouldn't have arrived before Lazurus's death anyway.

The problem I have is they deviate from the Bible enough to confuse people who don’t read it. I had people say. I didn’t know Veronica was the Lady that hemorrhaged for seven years. I said that’s because the Bible doesn’t say that. I didn’t know that Mary gave birth to other Children. That’s because there are no words for relatives. In Hebrew and Aramaic they all were called brothers and sisters. Mary remained a virgin. The men said to be the brothers of JESUS, were named as Son’s of others, in the other gospels. Mother Mary was given over to John’s care at the cross, because She had no other Children. I say, stay away from the confusion. There are movies Like The Gospel of John, that fallow the Bible word for word.

It's so lame how so-called Catholics are obsessed with this show. It's so bad. It is 100% Protestant. Why would Catholics use Proteatant religious fiction for evangelization? I couldn't watch any further after we saw an episode in which Peter and his wife were talking about starting a family. That is 100% secular Protestant mi diet about marriage and family. My wife and I laughed so hard after that scene and turned it off. Peter and his wife would not have discussed like 21st century decadent Americans about when to start a family. Not having children was a curse then. I am surprised they made it a month without his wife being pregnant. The satanic Islamic hordes are better on this issue than modern Catholics. So lame Catholics watch this tripe

In the Chosen, when the Lord changed water into wine, why did they have Jesus remove everyone from the room? This is not in the Scriptures and has no value, only if they are trying to create doubt in the actual miracle that took place. There was no actual benefit to the story by having everyone leave when He performed the miracle.

Judas chose Jesus but Jesus called the other apostles.

As Peter said, If we leave, where would we go?

To Jesus....through Mary.

I wish that The Chosen includes The Annunciation with Saint Gabriel Arcángel announcing the that She was full of Grace and was Chosen since The Beginning to be The Mother of Christ! Then The Inmaculate Conception, then Her eternal Virginity. Also her Assumption and her being co- redemptrix. Who does God love more than His Mother? ♥️🙏♥️

No, Catholics should not be watching The Chosen. It is not a good representation of Catholicism.

As a conservative protestant, I'm upset when Catholics do such a better job of understanding Jesus and our salvation than Catholics.

Oh. My Gosh! This Priest is more worried about spoiler alerts rather than the lies of this show! Dallas Jenkins said on video that all seasons DO NOT contain or follow Scripture! He also said that he doesn't mind being called a blasphemer! He claims that they want to portray THE REAL JESUS. Really? How is the REAL Jesus to be portrayed by MORMONS?! This entire production is MORMON MADE! Yhey dont believe that Jesus is the Son of God! They believe thst eventually they will beckme Gods themselves! Read ppl, dig, you sre being deceived with the false portraya. Also...Follow the $ money ppl. You are being lied to! Satan is so sly. I absolutely denounce this show. It's demon made.

Enjoyed this interview. Thankyou. Have passed it on. ❤️🙏🏻

Love that the bishop is wearing The Chosen hoodie!

Jonathan Roomie has an interesting story about his last $20!

Yes there will be 7 Seasons of The Chosen ❤

The 3 days is a Jewish tradition that says that it takes three days for the soul to completely leave the body. Lazarus had to be really dead for the full effect of the resurrection in the Jewish context. Jesus himself was three days in the grave before he was resurrected! It’s important not to lose tract of the Jewishness of Jesus in context.

Isaiah 26:4 … for the Lord is the eternal Rock.

But the Lord is the mighty rock where I hide. Psalm 94:22 ; 2Sam22:2;

Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordained you ….john 15:16

I think it has to do with the sanctification process we all have to go through in order to become that precise instrument in the hands of our God.

Judas was introduced at the end of Season 2 and his character development was in Season 3

Trusting the Lord in our trials was very well explained ….although in our earthly life the mysteries are still difficult .I especially liked how we choose to follow it is not forced on us, but a choose. We are called to serve, we choose to follow and serve. Thank you Lord ><>

Wonderful interview and discussion! Thank you.

7 seasons

I have really enjoyed this discussion. I’m in the uk and I love The Chosen too and I think this series is a fantastic chance for everyone to come to know Christ 🙏

This Archbishop is so lovable and wise. God bless him ♥️🙏♥️

I see Jesus showing us to let go of human resources, and trust in Divine Providence, in order to become stronger and wiser and detached… He came to us as a poor Messiah to teach us that The Kingdom of God is spiritual and things, health, etc. have no bearing on Heaven and earning sanctity. ♥️🙏♥️

Jesús didn’t go for Lazarus because He wanted for his disciples to know that He is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Similar but a bit different was with John the Baptist, He was called to go, but He didn’t go, cause John had accomplished his mission and the disciples had to see what you sometimes have to do to follow Jesus, especially in the Apostles case because they were going to be martyred except John.

I love that it’s called The Chosen, and not The Jesus. Because it’s from the point of view of the apostles.

2:57 thank you, thank you what a beautiful job you all have done. I am so addicted to watching even if I seen it before.

I have a problem with praying to Mary. Where in the bible does it say to do that? Yes, she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus. That is huge. But others are also used by God. I pray to God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

I was very much a fallen away Catholic a C and E Catholic if you will. I began watching the chosen and it brought me back to Mass and brought me back to confession after 30 years.. 😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻

This was great!

Love The Chosen! I have started reading and studying my Bible since watching this series. The Holy Spirit has touched me through The Chosen. ❤

Great discussion; thank you so much. We love the Chosen series.

I mean yeah, we choose Jesus, but he has to choose us first before we can do so.

I thought the Thomas subplot wasn't needed but love most of The Chosen. For a protestant based show, it's given me so many moments to meditate on. The protestant pastor did correct Dallas that in different languages it did mean "the rock". He's trying not to offend while filming. Jon doing John 6 at the Eucharistic Conference, was his way of doing what he couldn't on the show. I also agree with Judas being on board but the wrong ship. I feel sorry for him because he thought Jesus would fight like he got out of stoning and the cliff. The crushing blow showed he didn't care about the money, he just totally misjudged him. I also feel for someone who had his master tell him to "go and do it quickly" That might have made him think he was understanding his motive. Maybe

That was a great interview. Thank you ArchBishop. The Chosen is wonderful.🙏

I just finished Season 1 and loved it!.

❤

I cry when I watch every episode! It's great! ❤❤

I love binging on Jesus

I did not remember events in the Bible that I read /was taught in religionclasses when I was in primary school The Chosen reminded/taughr me a lot and I admire allthe actors who portrayed characters ina brilliant way Thanks God for the creators of the Chosen

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and how this program has touched your lives. God bless you and I look forward to watching more from your channel.

Season 5 is Holy week, Season 6 is the Crucifixion, Season 7 is the Resurrection and maybe Pentecost.

Your grace and you made me smile so much when you said you’re not accustomed to walking around like a billboard and then I imagine what the Archbishop or Cardinals dress like if I saw your roaming collar… Yeah, you’re not used to being a billboard I say that lovingly…

95 % inaccurate per Jenkins. Blasphemy againist the blessed mother and has natural child birth in the christmas episode. Mormons bible quotes. used. Another corrupted priest severing Francis Peter the Roman. Peter miscarriage so phony. All sugar coating on church that is failing apart. It is time for priests to become priests and focus on the Eucharist, not Hollywood.

Thank you ❤ Shalom Shalom 👏 loved your perspective and insight of what it means to truly be a disciple of Yeshua and how this is being portrayed in the lives of His disciples. 🕊🔥
