Diversity of 1st Century Jewish Life | Messianic Reaction to The Chosen S1 E6

[@cynthiarandall5984]

I love how the writers have Nicodemus say, ",,, a meeting anywhere... even a tomb." And it was at the tomb that Nico finally followed.

[@phoebusapollo8365]

I JUST got that, wow Thanks for this insight

[@Vampirebloodthirst]

I like how Jesus quotes what Shmuel is thinking instead of having Shmuel say it. I got to stand in the room where the healing of the paralytic was filmed and go on the roof (as well as some other places) when my older sister and I went to Texas to be a part of the feeding of the five thousand. It was cool.

[@shilohauraable]

Hello 👋 from northwest Indiana! 💖 I love the 2 kids on the roof w/Matthew! They're like "We knew he'd do it!"

[@belasius2895]

and also...the look on Simon's face when they say...'Jesus of Nazareth...we know him'

[@Chiscribbs]

This was the scene that convinced me to give the show a shot - it was the first time I found myself crying at a portrayal of Jesus. The way He hugs the paralytic after he stands, just... All I could think was "I want Jesus to hug me like that, too." I will never be over how beautifully the Chosen brings the scriptures to life and challenges me think about them in ways I never have before.

[@lynnekelley7545]

IMO, You can read every book of the Bible and yet, without something like The Chosen, Brandon Robbins and the two of you, we couldn't be prepared for the second coming. Thank you for all the studying, research and discussion that makes your videos so inspiring and insightful 🙏💕✝️

[@DanielBuckphd]

The Chosen does such a good job of opening mine eyes to things I'd never noticed before. I had to go look it up, and it's true--Jesus really did tell the healed man "Go home!" instead of inviting him to stay for the rest of the sermon!

[@Nursfaith]

I honestly love you guys, your upbeat personalities, your extensive knowledge of the Bible, the country, rituals etc. I’m actually sitting at home in Florida watching you now. Your mothers should be sooo proud of you both🙏🙏😊

[@joolz5747]

Great scene! I love the way Jesus/Jeshua Was so happy and he hugged the man and he felt huge heartfelt love it was obvious. Very touching and beautiful. It’s good to see the scenes again because you forget about them overtime. And you bring it very close when you put it out there thank you

[@peggybarton6946]

I have watched the Chosen at least 8 times now. Every time I watch it I learn something new. You guys do an excellent job of interpreting each episode. I'm learning even more from you. Your emotions during certain scenes are greatly appreciated. Thanks, keep up the awesome job.

I'm currently taking a course called the Jewish background of the new testimate, and yeah, it's complicated but puts a whole new way to view the bible.

[@rosinaampah7963]

As usual, a wonderful interpretation of what was happening during that time! Excellent Sam and Dr. Tom

[@alanaalbarado2357]

Thank you guys for another great video!! The comment Sam made about being humble and teachable is 100%! I don’t know how it is in anyone else’s life, but in my life God will put me in a place where I have to be reminded to open my heart and be humble, and open my mind so I can be taught☺️ My favorite phrase is “You learn something new every day”😁

[@GracefulTalksCP]

What sticks out to me every time I watch this scene is when Nicodemus says he'll meet Jesus anywhere "even a tomb". It sticks out because - from what I understand - wouldn't meeting in a tomb make them ceremonially unclean?

[@barbdouglas3197]

Yes, and the really kool thing is that, that is exactly where Nicodemus finally follows Yeshua. It was Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimithiah that took Yeshua off the cross and carried him wrapped in white linen, to Joseph's new tomb!

[@Stherko20]

I love The Chosen and watching your reactions to it! :) You may have answered this question before, but what translation of the bible do y'all use/recommend. I've been interested in checking out a messianic Jewish bible.

[@beckypadulo4888]

Me too, would love to know this!

[@furqan2485]

Dead sea scroll are oldest copy available of Hebrew bible as per jews. This scroll proovs Jews are hiding descriptions of Muhammad and Jesus from centuries. Messianic apocalypse is document in dead sea scroll which talk about Jesus but removed from present Bible.Melchizedek is coming as per dead sea scrolls but He is not mentioned in present Bible. This Qumran sect was monoethist. Follow Quran correctly you will follow the corrected message of Jesus and Jews.

[@lance9249]

I'd assume they use The Tree of Life bible it's a very true to the Jewish roots of Christianity. But I could be wrong

Oh how I love Jesus’ prayer for us…❤❤ one of my favorite passages in the Bible. Makes me cry every time I read it.

[@patmccormick4597]

So awesome that Kurt (Gaius) just got married.

[@justmecarter1717]

At the 3:00 mark, when Nicodemus is talking to Shmuel, and Shmuel says that God cannot manifest Himself in Human Form...didn't He appear to Abraham before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, where Abraham even ate with Him and the two angels with Him?? Maybe I misinterpreted that whole part of the story, but I always thought that God Incarnate (Jesus), along with the two angels visited with Abraham, and ate with him and then the two angels went off to rescue Lot, his wife, and the two younger daughters.

[@cindydixson387]

👀 Interesting question and I'm going to watch for the reply

[@MikeKBar13]

You are referring to quite possibly one of my all time favorite chapters: Genesis 18. We get verse 14 "Is anything too hard for the LORD" in reference to Sarah's miraculous pregnancy (which I think Mother Mary was very well aware of and meditating on when Gabriel appeared in her room), and Abraham negotiating with someone who speaks on behalf of the LORD himself - my Rabbinic friends don't see two figures talking - only one (Abraham) after the men/angels (they imagine all three evidently) heading down to Sodom, but I thought like you that one remained and that it was somehow God in human flesh in Torah. The Rabbinic reading evidently has Abraham conversing with God in heaven - as he has done in other places in Genesis. But what about the Commander of the Armies of the Lord? Joshua 5:13 - seems more like "Commander in Chief of the Armies of the Lord" to me. He commands Joshua to remove his sandals - a la Moses at the Burning Bush?!? And ironically this figure appears immediately after circumcision(s) are preformed in verses 2-8, just as in Genesis 17:10-14.

[@debbiedavis3052]

I have read that a major difference in Sanhedrin was Sadducee’s did not believe in Yeshua/resurrection but the Pharisees did. Is that correct? I would like to learn more about Sanhedrin and how this council worked, voted, etc. It would seem they could not co-exist together if there was such a fundamental belief difference.

[@scopedriver]

I heard it this way: “The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. That’s why they were sad, you see.”

[@MikeKBar13]

I am curious about this as well, I had assumed it was a sort of power sharing arrangement between the sects particularly between the Pharisees and the Sadducees (a sort of congress to the High Priest as a president), but if the High Priest was the head of the Sadducee group than maybe he didn’t need other Sadducee voices in the Sanhedrin at all. Curious about the history of Sanhedrin as an institution. Was there a Sanhedrin in the first Temple period? When did it come about?

Sam and Tom, I would love to know what version of the Bible you read James from-never caught the “demonic” aspect of jealousy before! Thanks for your work on this project about The Chosen!

[@Grafted]

In this episode Sam is reading from the ESV, but we often use the Tree of Life Version (TLV) which is the first English Bible translation done as a collaboration between dozens of Messianic Jewish and Gentile scholars. It aims to maintain the Jewishness of the Scriptures and complete faithfulness to the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts from which it is translated.

Jesus was very good at ignoring the negative. Remember with Jairus daughter. The men came and said “don’t trouble the master, she’s dead”. The Bible says “ignoring what they said” Jesus turned to Jairus and says “don’t be afraid, just believe.” Sometimes we have to ignore the “they, them people “ who discourage or try to crush the little faith we have when we’re in a bad situation and trying to hold on. We have to keep the words of Jesus in our hearts and hold on and keep our eyes on Him.

The Scene of Nicodemus (in 3:06 min the timeline) expresses the Almighty of God the Father, who can do whatever He wants. This explains why He chose NOT to use man's sperm and yet use a woman (Mary) in the virgin birth of His only begotten son (Yeshua/Jesus)!

As for being humble and teachable, how far is to far? At what point do you put your foot down and say, with true conviction, "THIS is truth" without becoming un-teachable and prideful. On the opposite end, how do you remain humble and teachable without being so open you end up "always learning" like cult followers?

[@shufamshumate1689]

You mentioned the 3 main sections of the Old Testament as the Torah (1st 5 books), the Writings and the Prophets. Where do the “history” books (Joshua through Esther) fit in? Are they considered part of the Writings?

[@MikeKBar13]

Great question. The answer is the arrangement have something to do with the acceptance of particular books into Jewish Canon - if I remember my Jewish Studies 101 correctly. Curiously the book of Daniel with it’s intense apocalyptic imagery is part of Writings not Prophets.

[@dominiclapinta8537]

Especially the government doesnt see. When you fill out a slip to give to the government, because you give an offering to God, that requires your right and your left hand. Its not being a good steward, its being selfish. Declaring tithes and offerings to God to the government is wrong. You can do it and have your reward from them, or you can not declare it and have your reward from God. The scene is interesting in how they add to it. In the Bible, Jesus sees their faith. He is not asked to do something, but rather simply sees the faith of the men. there was no Ethiopian woman whose "faith is beautiful". This is why creating characters that did not exist in the Bible Gospels, can be very problematic. Just like later on with the Samaritans and how they are presented in this series as not having rejected the Messiah right after having accepted Him. But this was the very reason why the Sons of Thunder wanted to call down fire from heaven on them.
