​@James Cheddar agreed. The Romans did not take well to disorder at all. It is one of the reasons why you see Quintus freaking out at the large crowds. One slight riot and it could be Quintus head. On top of the fact, the Jews were harder to govern than most. That is NOT an anti Jewish comment, just pointing out that most of the peoples ruled by Rome got along well enough with their pantheons of gods and always added more. The Jews were very, very stubborn about monotheisitic practice and refused to budge an inch for Rome on the matter. It made things very annoying for Roman overseers

Fascinating scene. Jesus comes into Quintus's office and shows no fear.He basically tells Quintus "I'll do what I want and I promise you nothing." Quintus, so used to people being cowed by him and so sure of his own authority, doesn't even realize he's being dissed. Meanwhile, Atticus looks on, mostly silent. There are faint signs of Atticus being astonished at how Jesus is so utterly in command of the situation. Jesus knows that Atticus understands the situation much more than Quintus and thus occasionally looks his ways as if to direct some of his comments towards Atticus. After it's over Atticus can't help but point out that that was a troubling and strange interview. A jew comes before the power of Rome and is not impressed but not openly defiant, Almost as if what Quintus says doesn't really matter. One person could come before Quintus and be brazenly defiant and show his bravery before Rome (and then be killed). But to go before the power of Rome and more or less shrug it off. Now that's true power and confidence.

[@golfhound]

Quintus appears to be quite level headed as he could've had Jesus executed any time he wanted. As I assume Quintus is a fictional character representing a very important Roman official, it would be interesting to see if Quintus ever finds out that Jesus died and was resurrected. What would also be interesting is if Quintus ever converted or finally meets The Lord Jesus in the after life in all of his glory. It would be hoped that Quintus converted, but being a most loyal Roman Soldier, that would be unrealistic. There was a film made several years ago titled Risen starring Joseph Feinnes as a Roman Tribune - a position equivalent to a colonel in the army. Spoiler alert. The tribune was responsible for carrying out Jesus' execution and later saw and visited with the resurrected Jesus for several days. The Tribune converted and gave up his Roman position realizing that you can't serve two masters.

[@princevesperal]

The first Gentile to convert to Christianity actually was a Roman official! His name was Cornelius, and the event is described in the New Testament.

Oh I love this scene! Such a fun scene!

I know right !!! 😂😂😂

[@DarthTwilight]

I can definitely see The Lord doing this kind of thing: disarming death threats the way He did in this portrayal. I can understand Quintas, because before I was saved, I tended to look similar to him in the fact that I prided myself on my intellect and achievements. I likely would have been in his shoes; despite that he's likely a made-up character. The way Yeshua Messiah met Quintas's threat, seems to me to be a fine example of a soft answer turning away wrath; compounded with an unrelenting Spirit with His massive dedication to the Father, and of course, to the point of death on a cross as it is written.. He said that He could not promise any thing regarding Quintus's complaints of disruption, and followed up with basically saying that He was going to do God's will regardless; by saying that he cannot promise any of the conditions Quintus wanted him to make. I'm learning the humanity and practical application of scripture, FROM A TV SHOW MEANT FOR ENTERTAINMENT. THAT is how far-reaching the mercy and grace of God really is. This isn't some sort of white boy, L'Oreal poster-child, monotonous and pious to the Nth degree kinda Jesus show. .....I love that.

[@april1st183]

Why did Jesus say, "It was a privilege to speak with you today, Quintus"? - 5:10

[@ddjj8]

Quintus is not a made-up character, he's actually in the Apocrypha which is another version that the KJV version of the Bible leaves out. Just like the Dead Sea Scrolls. You just happen to witness a character that was not talked about in the King James version and no I'm not dissing The King James version but it was made in the 1600s which was well after when Christ came. So no surprise that there would be missing pieces.

[@tylere.8436]

What Atticus *is* in this is something fundamentially unknown in the "NATO world" but was *remarkably commonplace* in the Eastern Bloc of a mere 3 or so decades ago: he's a commissar*; what his "department" really *is is Rome's NKVD- he's their "Elim Garak" to draw on Star Trek Deep Space 9.

[@sneakurp]

God has seen so many arrogant Human leaders throughout history that it's no wonder Jesus sort of just looks at him like "okay 😐"

I just realized Jesus kept draining Quintus' talent pool by bringing Nathaniel onto his team of disciples! :)

[@jackh4996]

Honestly it seems like Quintus is just doing his job. He is not cruel or capricious. He is a Roman, probably of the equestrian class, who was born and raised to see protecting Rome and enforcing it’s order as a sacred duty. No doubt he is mistaken, but through no fault of his own.

[@GenesisXTRM]

4:55 more than you EVER will....

[@rosemariie]

I absolutely love the way Quintus responds to Jesus when He says "Well it sounds like we're clear on what we can and cannot promise." Quintus gets so tangibly giddy over that response, immediately stammering after he giggles over that response. "I honestly-" adds such an endearing trait to a character who's otherwise, objectively, an antagonist. And it makes me honestly want to have a conversation with the guy (In this portrayal, anyway. Realistically he probably wouldn't come off as so charismatic.)

I am so disappointed after watching all of the 3 seasons of The Chosen that I am not able to see season 4! I am very sad. I am not able to go to a theatre to watch all episodes. We - friends who were also waiting to see the next season - all felt let down. I know I don’t understand the business reasons or conflict happening that has made it impossible to show this season free on the Angel App, but it is a blow to me and many others who cheered hearing this amazing and powerful movie was being shown free globally. I am praying the issue is resolved very soon. Thank you for all the work you have done.

[@danieljensen7633]

Close your eyes and Quintus sounds just like John del Lancie

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

And with that, it's a running gag that fans of the show call him "Q".😏 Which, of course, is the first letter of "Quintus."🤔

The actor playing Quintus had so much fun with this scene.

[@TheLastCrow5150]

I get the feeling Jesus visited other civilizations in His life. We don't know much about Him before 29 or 30 years old. The forty days after His ressurection is shrouded in mystery. Then we have other parts of the world who speak of a mysterious, divine man visiting them.

[@Thankful305]

Jesus is 1,000,000% ASSURED the Power of The Holy Spirit is with Him ❤❤❤

[@thecowboy9698]

"That's usually how it goes." - Jesus. Btw, anyone catch that Jesus' outer robe was purple in this scene - the same color as would bestow royalty - or perhaps by the director to use as a forshadowing the same purple robe he would wear in the final 12 hours of his life.

[@tonyjanney1654]

I think one of the reasons this series is so enjoyable is because of the subtle humor in the verbal exchanges. The characters are also shown as "rational actors", that is, they behave like people in the real world would act instead of making choices like actors in rigid, scripted roles.

[@landsknecht8654]

Love this show!

[@JundunYashua]

Everyone watching this video is going to die at some point and each of you will answer to God for every idle word spoken, deed done by your hands and the motivation behind it. Now, the evidence for this is that even if you say you don't believe me, your conscience bears witness that I speak the truth and you know there is a creator to whom you will answer to one day. Are you ready? Your "good actions" you rely on are detestable to God, lest you try to negotiate your way into Heaven. Only by grace and through faith shall you receive salvation. Seek Christ while you still can, only He can forgive your sins. Repent and be born again, of water and the Holy Spirit. I say this without judgement and in absolute love when I tell you that Jesus is the light of the world, in Him there is no darkness...

[@TheNinja691]

Attics is so astute, he misses nothing. Like the way he said “so nothing about him concerns you?” He sees Jesus isn’t just your normal prophet.

Quintus laughs nervously and jesus out witted him lol
