How often do we as Christians do the exact same thing? We are all sinners saved by grace; yet, we sit ready to condemn other people due to their pasts. After all, we never did what they did; our sin was "different". God forgive us.

[@charleskimball7058]

Certain Jewish scholars denied the veracity of this story arguing that at that time there were no roosters in Jerusalem. Apparently, their incessant pecking on the ground made them ceremonially unclean and, Jews were therefore forbidden to breed them. Others maintain that it was the Roman “gallinicium”, a trumpet call that the occupying soldiers emitted a the end of the third vigil of the night. This sound emanated from the parapets of the Antonia Fortress in Jerusalem. Along these lines, the Protestant theologian William Barclay also writes: “The Latin name for the trumpet call was gallinicum, which means cock crow. It is at least plausible that at precisely the moment when Peter uttered his third denial, the gallicinium sounded over the sleeping city; and Peter remembered, went out and sobbed his heart out”. [2] Nevertheless, other references in the Jewish Talmud indicate that roosters were indeed bred in Jerusalem during the time Jesus was there.[3] Besides, Jesus used the example in his teaching of the hen that gathers its chicks under its wings to protect them.

[@AdderTude]

I love the newfound determination in Matthew's eyes. For once, he has been accepted, and the look he gives Gaius as he's leaving the tax booth shows that he's never been more sure in his life at leaving everything behind.

But Jesus welcomed the most unlikeliest of persons such as Mathew whoom he called to be his desciple, who went on to become a great Apostle for Christ. Jesus gravitated towards the rejected, the outcast, the insignificant, they were all significant to him, we are all significant to him.

It's when Jesus tells Nicodemus "Blessed are those who take refuge in him" and hugs him, I teared up like nobody's business. I felt that.

God's unmerited G R A C E in one scene.... "GET USED TO DIFFERENT"

[@alettasmith9359]

I get goosebumps when Jesus call Matthew - this is most definitely God inspired work, the only reason I can think why this series have such amazing physical and spiritual effect on me

[@musicj]

The music in this series is incredible. Well done. I love everything about The Chosen.

[@parker.100]

the heartbeat percussion sound in this scene is awesome

[@sharismabothma1000]

I remember that when I was watching the chosen I was so scared they wouldn't get to this part, but they did and it was better than I ever imagined. I relate so much with matthew, it felt like Jesus was calling me again in this scene. Still makes me cry! Can't wait for season 2!

[@sharismabothma1000]

I kept yelling Go matthew go! Run quickly!

[@leesanofficial50]

Love this scene. Truly speaks to the fact that Jesus sees us, our hearts and what we can do through Him and when we commit to Him. You got to get used to different with Jesus and trust Him.

[@menacedemort2878]

When I started watching the show, I longed for this moment. Matthew was such an intriguing character. His world of logic and numbers was shattered by a man he could not understand. I just wanted to see when Jesus would call him. I remember after finishing an episode around 12:30 am, watching three more in a row just because I needed to see this moment. Sure, the morning after was awful, but man the scene was worth it. Love this show.

[@BensGrandma]

Dallas, Jesus is so clearly Lord and completely unfazed by Gaius’ threats. Perfection! I love too that Jesus didn’t embrace Matthew right away. It simply would have been a sensory overload to do so. Well done!

[@isaactheworshipwarrior6687]

Yeah I don't think he was paying much attention to Gaius at all, even after he reached for his blade. And that IS true. Their first true encounter was in the previous episode, and I think it helps that he didnt call him there, because he had another entire episode to dwell and think on it, after struggling to look.for answers, and failing, but he cant stop thinking about it. In some ways, he felt even more alone after the meeting with his mother where he failed again to find answers, but was even more shunned. He wants to understand, but he's missing the feeling of acceptance, and THEN Jesus comes back, and offers it to him. And I love how you can see all of it in Jesus's eyes, that look of acceptance, desire, and love he has for Matthew, hearing him say he wants him to join him was confusing to everyone, but Matthew actually saw how genuine he was.

[@euanharrison7125]

I noticed the same in the episode before this with the pharasee rudely questioning him about on who's authority does he preach, before healing the paralysed guy. Like the Lord doesn't even acknowledge the threats of an unbeliever he's that unfazed by it (obviously 😂)

[@breathecarolina790]

Your think myself whose a recovering drug addict would resonate with Mary but Matthew’s story, it hits so differently. A man who sold out his own people, his own family for money. A man whose family disowned him and everyone told him he was unworthy. Jesus saw his heart, saw his worth and chose him.

[@dianabanana08]

this show definitely has an anointing. no matter what episode, no matter what scene, no matter how many times i replay an exact same scene over and over again, i still get chills and my heart feels light. oh how i wish everyone in the world gets to watch the chosen!

[@nadikou24]

Same feeling here. I came across a random clip while scrolling on my phone and I couldn't take my eyes of it. A few minutes later, I looked for it and saw the first 4 eps back to back! This happened about 2 weeks ago! My spirit rejoices in it!!!

[@devikaselvam4619]

Much like God's work in our lives, this scene is a masterpiece. From Mary's smile, the music that mirrors Matthew's heart, to Jesus's gentle and firm admonishment of Peter - anything more might have discouraged Peter (Col 3:21), anything less might not have done what was needed. But my absolute favorite are the emotions portrayed on Matthew's face. When Peter asks Jesus if he knows what Matthew has done, if He even knows Matthew, I read the expression on Matthew's face as he himself is wondering those things, wondering whether Jesus doesn't know the extent of his deeds, whether Jesus is mistaken in His calling of Matthew. But Jesus doesn't break eye contact and says yes. And that is all Matthew needs. Nothing stops him coming to Jesus after that. Thank you to the entire Chosen team.

I prayed to God to heal me, not for me, because I don't deserve it, but for my little children, who were left without a mother! in exactly that day, in which I prayed, the Lord healed me! I suddenly felt the pain in my kidneys go away, as well as the dryness in my mouth (diabetes). I'm a new women now! I thank the Lord for His mercy and love for us!!!!

[@myblueskye777]

An expertly acted, beautiful piece of scripture. The man who plays Matthew has amazing eyes - they say everything he needs them to say at any given moment. He has a great acting career ahead of him. I am so grateful for the level of detail and overall dedication of everyone who has worked to make The Chosen what it is.

[@leesanofficial50]

The scenes and shots are so beautiful and smooth. Really appreciate the cinematography of it all as a young filmmaker and believer. This show has inspired me to use my talents also to bring people closer to God through stories and more, and I plan to provide my fish and loaves so that God can feed the thousands like He has through the Chosen. Can't wait for future seasons and I pray one day I'll get to help out on a season and work with Dallas and the wonderful crew and cast.

[@strawberryblonde32]

I love the sense of confidence and assertiveness that shows in Matthew's eyes when he talks to Gaius on the way out. It's something that we don't see in him until this scene. But being in the presence of Jesus does that to you..."he gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist." It's like he called the real Matthew to the surface. It's beautiful. Jesus is beautiful. This scene is beautiful. Ugghhh. Really thankful for this project :)

This is one of the best scenes in the chosen. I cried watching it. And started reading the Bible thanks to you guys! Of course I started by the gospel of Matthew. I think The way Paras Patel portrayes his character is so genuine . He's such a great actor. I can't even explain how the Chosen has changed my life with all its characters and the closeness it brings towards us . It simply gave me a feeling of hunger towards the Bible . And now as I am starting my reading journey, I can relate to things easier. Understanding the character that wrote down the gospel, Makes the reading as if it's almost an intimate experience. I never even imagined how a tax collector was back in these days . I didn't know he would be THAT rejected! And look, from rejection to writing the gospel. You gave me a clearer vision! BLESS YOU ALL FOR THIS AMAZING PROJECT . thank you Dallas and every one else !🙏🏻 Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️
