Matthew is my favorite disciple in The Chosen. My son has autism and I see so much of my son in Matthew.

The Chosen series is a gift to the world ❤❤❤

[@yolandaperry861]

Love! Love! Love Matthew!! You are wonderful in this role!! I Love you too Mary and I love how you play this role! You can hang in with the fellows and are a great example of a changing worldly woman! Thank you both!! I just love this show and I love everyone who has been a part of it!! God bless!!❤

[@nicolestevens4039]

Elizabeth played the perfect Mary💜💙💜💙💜💙 you can see the kindness within her

[@OTCRock4one]

And she's plays a person that is very wise as well. You can see in the episodes Mary protects Matthew when others ridicule him.

[@19miraclesarehere]

Praise Jesus all the time! He is the Lord! Thank God for this show!❤

[@gerryfagoaga690]

I have enjoyed the interviews with the Chosen actors, and the questions asked. My understanding of Scripture is that Jesus freed Mary Magdalene from seven demons, but she was not a prostitute.

[@heidiwaetjen361]

Para Patel's portrayal of Matthew is my utmost favorite on The Chosen Series is my most favorite! I relate to him so much; for ive always been an outsider struggling to fit in or find my place in this world. Jesus saved me and i fit perfectly in the family of God because of Jesus saving me

[@marciaolson4878]

Wonderful human beings and actors and powerful examples for everyone! God is working! ❤❤❤❤

[@deb0zimmerman167]

A demonic spirit of heaviness. I was delivered from depression by the only name given!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!

[@RR-gp3qy]

That's one way to look at it, I guess

[@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE.]

Amen I too have depression, but after coming back to God I've never had a bad day, and have realized that mental illnesses are consequences from being oppressed/possessed by demons. May God save us all. In Jesus name.

[@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE.]

​@@RR-gp3qy It's the only way to look at it If you're a Christian, then you are aware that good and bad spirits exist, and that they are fighting over the souls of humans. Demons want to drag souls down to hell and away from God, and depression is a form of demonic influence. I've had major depression for almost 10 years before I turned back to God. I still have depression, but now I realize that it's not just a mental illness. There's a bigger picture going on that a lot of people don't think about. That's why lots of people don't believe in God, because they don't think about the bigger picture. They only think worldly thoughts. But Christians are called to not be of this world. Do not think like this world thinks, or else you will find yourself in hell. We are to imitate our thoughts and actions to be Christ like, which means that we need to think Biblically and have Holy thoughts, and not think worldly and end up being decieved by satan.

[@songananvashum8668]

My fav duo of the chosen❤❤

[@liswilol]

I'm an Indian Christian who watches chosen. I recognized Paras Patel as Indian from his appearance even before knowing his name. After googling about him, I came to know he is American-indian who is Indian by ethnicity.

[@Jeslyn77]

Yes same! :)

[@Jeslyn77]

I think it’s the same for nicodemus, schmuel and barnaby

[@suzieq2493]

Matthew and Jesus are my favorites ❤

[@lindawolski3173]

St. Matthew is our parish patron saint! It’s just so awesome see him in such a relatable person! God bless! 🤗❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@vanv]

my left and right ears loved this

[@SirPercival1207]

Glory to Our Father for giving us these brilliant actors for the limelight...

[@taneil408]

Matthew is my favorite character too❤. Phenomenal acting.. I work with special needs children.

[@IslandGirl40]

Love this! Beautiful! ❤

[@nich6250]

No we don’t call demon possession “mental illness”…. Two totally different things

[@achapteraday1260]

Are they though? I would encourage you to read through the gospels and count how many demon possession accounts you read about and ask yourself why they aren’t so common today. Maybe it’s because we call it something else. Epilepsy, split personality, schizophrenia, bipolar… etc etc

[@endi6876]

Love is synonym with God

[@djdb1214]

Paras is my favorite :)

[@joelcampbell7100]

I enjoy this show so much, but neither of these actors gave any credit where credit is due. God is Love & they credited the world. God loves you when you’re broken at the end of your rope which is where they were prior to the show. The world only loved them after they became “famous “ in the worlds eyes. A sad commentary in my opinion.

[@brierose1607]

Mathew and Mary ♥️

[@psyche7049]

Your audio channels are skipping from left to right tracks based on who is talking and it's very offputting while using headphones. I'll just leave that here for you to discover later. Also, fire your video editor. Stupid move.

[@Plisken65]

Mental illness and demon possession are 2 different things.

[@serena9543]

This is why I dont watch it. This news nation reporter is saying Mary was just depressed. Rewritting the story. They actors here not disputing it.

[@davidbarnes4742]

My whole feed is news nation. Had to unsubscribe

[@tiffanyl4829]

Thats not their fault. That's based on all of your choices. It's AI.

[@supercutemixedbag5487]

Why do they sound that they don’t believe in God? Especially Elizabeth?

[@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE.]

Because they don't? Some of the actors are atheists.

[@MJBJ-cb2jd]

Perhaps the questions. I think Paras is intrigued.

[@supercutemixedbag5487]

@@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE.Yea.. sad reality.

[@supercutemixedbag5487]

@@MJBJ-cb2jdLooks like Paras is a lil stunned by Elizabeth’s answers but he won’t say it.

[@geo-free]

They've interviewed with Dallas on a one on one before I think after season 2
