Man, I literally cried throughout the whole season. I had an encounter with God during the Nicodemus scene 😭

[@TheChosenSeries]

We love to hear how people are experiencing Him anew.

[@miriamtait8854]

So many Nicodemus scenes unveiled the underlying movment of the priests whose agenda was to control. It made me realize as he sobs by the wall and leaves money revealing his shackled choice. Not only did it mirror the Last Super but how he was tied to the World System in his positional mindset, verses his heart and spirit. This mindset detoured his entire nation. I love the line, "you have learned nothing from me".... yet his mindset did reveal how he was anchored by it.

The cast are actually so good in describing their characters, after watching the series, every time I read the bible about Simon, or Matthew, the images of the actors of _The Chosen_ just pop up in my mind 😂

[@MeowyMakes]

SAME.

[@BigValley_Girl]

AGREE, I thought it was just me...lol.. it's ALL about The Chosen, I wait anxiously for the Season 2, I share "The Chosen" on Facebook and get the same response, everyone is so anxious. I truly hope God sees this thru, it's touching peoples lives... I'm told I'm a Prophet, reluctantly I was unsure since I dont or DIDN'T know the Bible, but as I've learned and got Closer to GOD...I see why everyone is backing me to "Find My Purpose". I don't say this for any other reason other than to say.. THIS MOVIE I've used to help me LEARN the Bible in a way my Brain cant or couldn't learn until God healed my Brain from Brain Damage.. I died of Head and Chest Trauma, I've experienced HEAVEN. God saved me from Death, saved me from Suicide twice and it's ONLY because of HIM that I'm alive today. I've given my life to GOD, I read the Bible but Movies, Audios, Documentaries is how I learn best, although God has answered my Prayers... OF COURSE.. I now know, I do have a Purpose. I'm gifted, he's given me gifts.. how to use them.. is now in his hands. He says I'll know "In Time" but after He showed me a BIBLE which to me said "Learn the Bible, Learn about ME and Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and then.. I'll take you there.".. so, that is what I'm doing. When, I don't know, that's up to God, but when it comes it will be GREAT I KNOW.... :)

Glad we got to see the deleted scene, but completely agree with your decision to cut it. The scene with Eden is much more profound and stands on its own.

[@mikenewberry4064]

I can't agree more. Eden is a tower of spiritual strength. Love the portrayal of the scriptures that this show has presented. It is obvious that God's hand is in this.

[@kyletaborfurr316]

I agree, the scene with Eden is what makes The Chosen extraordinary! It's one of my very favorite scenes ever!

[@ljoannapj]

I agree!

[@elaineballard]

I think the scene between Simon and his wife is far the best! It was either choosing a storyline of fear and brutality or the way his wife was instrumental in Simon’s spiritual journey and ultimate victory. I would always choose the second as can relate to that better! You have done an extraordinary job in creating The Chosen. Thank you is never sufficient but I am sure you agree knowing it is changing people’s lives all over the world, brings a deep joy and thankfulness, and God gets the glory ♥️

[@samw1160]

I agree with the decision to cut it. Not necessary, and not very cohesive. Plus it would mean any time he's in town for the rest of the season he'd have to be looking over his shoulder because if that many men were after him for betrayal they wouldnt just forget about it.

[@carolinedelves2272]

What Sam said

[@AdahLael]

I totally agree with Sam. Cutting this, we have the impression that Simon is on the VERGE of being in some serious trouble with the other fishermen, but hasn't quite got there... Jesus literally saves him just in the nick of time, and Zebedee (the one he was about to betray) ends up basically forgiving him. That ends this mess much better than it would end if this scene had been in, because then we'd be like; 'but what about Amos? What does he do about Amos??' It would leave loose ends that would make things feel unraveled.

[@leviajona2059]

The idea, that of all things Matthews dog saves him is very funny. I would have enjoyed that szene very much. But maybe it made sense not to portray these people too badly.

[@IzzyNChrist]

yeah, I was thinking that too but it was such a bummer because it was really well done.

[@imxio]

Agreed. Exactly. It would require continuing animus and potential violence.

[@gracemorganspeaks]

This is so good. Whoever is reading this and you are struggling, going through trials and hard times. God is with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Dont lose faith and hope in God.

Will make a way where there is none. Amen My son was in a mash pit? at a rock concert some years ago, and it was so stifling, he couldn't breathe and he felt like he would faint...which would have been worse. He prayed, and suddenly there was a clear opening in the crowd and he walked right through it. God makes a way where there is none. :) Whatever it is, He is there.

[@jeruelsamson8105]

@Mountaindew bro, but did you read what I sent. She followed Jesus everywhere. Ofcourse Nicodemus and others are shown. But in this series they have emphasized more on the lives of Jesus's followers, "the chosen". And ofcourse none of us are Bible scholars, but they the chosen team have done their research with Bible scholars and the Bible. Ofcourse they know what they are doing. Let's just leave it there bro without arguing, afterall we are brothers and sisters and there is no use arguing, God bless you.😊😊

[@jeruelsamson8105]

@Mountaindew read Matthew 27: 55-56...... It is clearly written she followed Him. BTW why are we debating on this when it's clearly written in the Bible. This is not the Da Vinci code, it is biblical. Bro, come on, let's not deny the fact that she is mentioned in the Bible and that she followed Jesus. Please don't let the Da Vinci code confuse you with what is already written in the Bible. If you are still having doubts then please sit and pray and ask God for answers and don't watch the series. I'll pray for you.

My parents had a jewelry store when I was growing up, and my mother worked with the tools to size rings and repair jewelry. I remember, when she worked with gold, as she ground the gold rings and pendents with a file, she would catch and preserve every dust of the gold particles falling to the table. Every speck of that gold dust, was in fact that . . . Gold. . . every single one, valuable and worthy. Your work is such as that. Every scene, every frame, every audio sounds, . . are all gold. The actors are such a joy to watch, I am drawn into my computer monitor every single minute. In Episode 6, towards the end when the Pharisee called for the Roman soldiers to disrupt the gathering, you used this sound effect that is not quite instrumental, but had a rhythmic beat with total silent background. (as the the healed paralytic man walks past Nicodemus) There are so many moments as I am watching this show, when I feel like I'm in that "zone" watching Lord Jesus not only heal, but also work on the "hearts" of the people. Lastly. I liked the part when Simon talks about how he learned how to fish by watching his father. It made me think of how when I tried to be a good Christian, there were always holes. But just by "listening" to Him, and just by being where Jesus, I am changing. Sorry for the long post. Initially, just wanted to thank you and your wonderful team. There is not one part, I would leave out. It's all Gold. !!

[@wendylowe7757]

John sorry for my 6 months late reply but if 2020 has taught me anything, it is always now. The learning to fish, Simon recounting the early need to watch closely and copy spoke to me, as a newly born again Christian. I am missing gathering with my Christian brothers and sisters, but Zoom chats miraculously bring us together. The internet has taught me the way we may all "speak as angels" last week my voice was heard via HSBC in the Philippines! The Chosen can speak with many thousands of us at once. The omnipresence of Our Lord has never been so real. Thank you far away friend. Time and Place fade away in the presence of The Almighty. love Wendy x

[@batTorah]

You just connected something I had missed. The parallels between Matthew and Simon as betrayers. And the connection between them even as Simon is objecting Jesus’ calling of Matthew. With Simon telling Him that Matthew is a traitor. Of course, I love Jesus’ answer: “Get used to different”

[@pepperorchid]

Maybe that’s why Simone is so bitter and judgmental toward Mathew later?

[@eliltaliya]

The thing is Simon had no right to do that because he also was a traitor to the Jews by deciding to tell them off to the Romans. And the fact he was low on money doesn’t justify it. Also no offence it’s good that you deleted that scene for many reasons. A practical reason is the lighting wasn’t good, maybe it was my device but still. Spiritually though, this never happened. And I don’t think Eden had siblings. Maybe she did but of course scripture doesn’t say “Thus came out of thy market, Simon walking home was attacked by his wife’s brother.” Right? Great job and I’m paying it forward.

[@miss__k]

​@@eliltaliya nope simon wanted to protect his family, more than money it shows abt the protection he needed to give his wife and brother. And he didn't betray them, he wanted to but, he decided not to. He mentions that in season 2. Mathew was innocent yet selfish. But simon was not innocent but not too selfish .

Dallas, you have been blessed by God, and your devotion and love for Him shines in every episode. I loved The Greatest Story Ever Told, saw King of Kings at a theater when it was first released and have devoted many hours watching Jesus of Nazareth after finding it too middle eastern for me when I watched it in 1977 when first released. The Passion of the Christ was so powerful, feeling it to the bone as the entire theater left in silence at the end. The Chosen has had such a different and deeper impact on me. Though I loved the reverence and holiness of Christ presented in all of those movies, He also felt unapproachable. In The Chosen, I see me, my best friend, my brothers and my neighbors. I know our creator has a sense of humor,Myles, even for us, and you present Him as I feel about Him, but could never articulate it. He’s my best friend.

This is such an outstanding, PERFECTLY made series about the life of Jesus and his ministry.... I'm quite amazed with how good it is.... Jesus actually seems HUMAN and not some "don't touch or even look at me because I am the son of God" character like you see in literally EVERYTHING else that has a Jesus character... but yet, at the same time, he delivers himself like the sinless son of God. Honestly, I wish I had the kind of money to give this project $1,000,000 cause it's just THAT GOOD and it would be worth every penny to see it thrive and have no financial limitations... I would love to see the rest of the bible like this too :) God bless!!

This series is groundbreaking and has stirred my heart toward the Lord in a new way. As John Eldredge wrote, Jesus is truly the “Beautiful Outlaw”- one who was one of us- who lived, felt tired, worked, felt sleepy, loved to laugh and to eat with friends, felt compassion as well as frustration, understood he was in enemy territory and held fast to His mission. I love Him even more, watching this compelling portrayal of his ministry journey. Thank you so much and let’s all pay it forward!

[@maureenlang4949]

Prayers that funding is plentiful, You have gone above and beyond in creating this series , God Bless .

[@bunnyharrison8014]

Your judgment was spot on! The scene between Eden and Simon tells more of the person, with his fears, near panic, and yet his basic goodness.

[@burtonsnow845]

The power of God comes upon me so heavily any time I am watching an episode. God’s hand is SO on this project. I don’t want it to end. Please, PLEASE take your time with this series. I am savoring every moment.

[@shamlahoosen5343]

I feel the same way.... God is amazing, I've watched season 2 as well... It is astounding🙏the producer and his teaming is awesome, and annoited, that cannot be acting... But only annoting 🙏

[@stel2985]

Appreciate your support and prayers, Mary Beth Wilson!

[@merilyncrous8892]

Such an amazing show. Thank you for making it. Looking forward to season 2.

[@Devin3Anthologie]

Good call Dallas👍🏾😊, that's why you are the boss that *Thee* Boss put over this show. Thanks for sharing it anyway.

[@justjewells1386]

Yikes !!! That had my stomach in knots ! J:o)== So glad you decided to cut the scene. The issue of Simon's betrayal and the feelings from the others are clearly felt in the tavern scene. Would have been good either way but you chose wisely! Lord bless your work. J:o)+

[@shanecomeback8296]

You people are beautiful inside and out, and this series is so desperately needed right now. Thank you so much. I will get some merch!

[@Dsk7154]

The Chosen is a blessing to the world...Thank Jesus for this show and passionate people who are working hard for this.❤️❤️

[@nicolearnzen4864]

Thank you so much dallas for putting your time and effert into this show. Im so happy that you are letting people be in the sermon on the mount scene ! Do you know were and when it is going to be

[@TheChosenSeries]

We'll announce it. We're currently in the writing phase.

[@curtthegamer934]

That scene would have destroyed the pacing of the episode IMO. I'm glad it was cut.

[@Richie016]

Thanks Dallas, just the correct missing piece to complete the original sequence of events in the episode!

[@geoffbrown9006]

Thanks for posting this, Dallas. I am really enjoying this series with my son, and we've been talking lots about the different issues, history and themes that are presented in the show. I definitely agree with deleting the scene with the local blokes in Capernaum wanting to take Simon "some where quiet" in favour of highlighting the tension building between Simon and Eden. I think all couples can relate to this on some level, when you realise that your decisions have not been in the best interests of your relationship with your wife/husband. The back story for Simon is brilliant and, for me, really fills in the gaps of Simon may have been referring to when he said to Jesus, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!" I pray that by God's grace this work you and your team are doing may be able to continue. Yours in Christ, Geoff.

[@cherylmauro8860]

I agree Dallas, dosen't fit with the progress of the situation. We can feel the seriousness of Simon's actions from the story line. Thank you for sharing and allowing us to feel so connected to the amazing series. May God Bless you and team as you write the 2 season.

[@CrowandRaven]

Wise choice, Dallas. But it could be a possible point of tension in season 2 as Simon (Peter) begins to follow Jesus. Not sure if word would ever spread beyond Capernaum or whether they would return to the city again, but it's maybe something worth fleshing out.

[@turnfromsin2Jesus]

I am so glad you cut that scene! I love all the epiodes. Eden brought correction by the Spirit of truth and it was so powerful. I really think that it captured the way the Lord brings reproof. The Lord knew all about Peter, where his heart was at, and that he would be one of His Chosen. We can have peace and joy knowing it's the same for us. Thank you!😊🕊

[@susancbabu97]

You guys are soo good thankyou soo much for making this project !!! Ia'm Blessed to watch this show✨✨✨

[@ElizaPancito]

I loved that dog :c I want to see more of him 😅

[@chefrosemarie1235]

Dear Dallas, The series is excellent. The script, character development, casting, timing; all great. I have outgrown the stoic Jesus in the old classic films. I find that the scenes and lines from The Chosen come to mind as I read scripture now. In your interview with Jonathan about peoples' responses and the weight of his role... I believe it's natural for people to cling to images or conduits that make them feel closer to the invisible Lord, which is a good thing. Not only does talent as an actor produce a believable facsimile to the character, but in this case the actor is privileged to also become a conduit as the Spirit wills. Maybe you can share that with Jonathan and that I pray for the Jesus to draw him close in his personal life. Bless all of you. My background in acting and directing causes me to agree with your scene cut. It was of a different tone or spirit than the other scenes. The Lord is guiding you. I wish I was in a position to give you great support, but will be getting the CD's. I look forward to coming seasons and will keep this is prayer.

[@Allykat8558]

Yesss!! I enjoyed how you changed this scene! God Bless you all! 🙌💛💙

[@susanking2035]

Absolutely fabulous series. I cry every episode! I pray the whole series goes viral along with the pandemic!!!

[@marymckeever7579]

Yeah, good call in cutting, it holds together without it.

[@ejikemeudechukwu6670]

Hi Dallas , like you said this scene wasn't necessary. The way he got escaped wasn't really interesting. Good job

[@RachelAnastasiaFurman]

Having an ad for the chosen before the video of the chosen is a mood

[@ladyvirgo013]

I so love this series and im ready for more! Thank You💙🙏
