When the sun hit John's face and he saw the lamb, I literally gasped and cried. What a beautiful way to depict John's viewpoint and honour him all these years later. And Jesus is the Son of God, and so it's easy to forget that John was his cousin. He knew him all his life. It must have broken his heart to have this happen, knowing it had to, but wishing it didn't. They depicted this beautifully... just enough emotion to be poignant without too much to be overdone. And putting Simon Z and Judas together washing clothes was brilliant also. Judas also, historically, had a history with the zealots. That is, his desire for the Romans to be overthrown and for Israel to be freed from the occupation was in lilne with theirs. I read that from a Bible scholar years ago, so it's fitting to have Simon Z who literally was a zealot speaking with Judas this way. It's hard to watch him taking the journey, knowing the wrong path he takes, and the actor they have playing him is perfect... so likable. This series is wonderful.

No one is disputing that the Bible is the best.

The story of Jesus and John shows in a profound way, the deity and human nature of Christ combined. He appeared to John as a Lamb; implying a salutation and a confirmation that he faithfully finished his work in preparing the way for the Lamb who was to take unto Himself the sins of the world. Jesus was glad that John will make it to the wedding supper of the Lamb, but at the same time as a human, He deeply mourned the death of His beloved cousin

The research and time taken to bring full circle the prophecy. "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." As each scene passed I was thinking of the scripture.... isn't this what The Chosen is calling all of us to do? Not all characters are scriptural or perhaps just a mere mention, but how they add in support to the Life of our Lord and even call us to go back and read the scriptures. The example for the baby John's Naming Day and Zaccariah's prophecy for his son. Even the fact that is it mentioned in scripture that Zaccahriah lost his voice when he showed disbelief in the Angel's message. Abraham had disbelief in the Angel's message, Moses had disbelief in The Lord God's message. For those of us who are going back, let's go way back and use our footnotes to the parallel passages in the OT, especially Isaiah. Get yourself a good Biblical Commentary and open up the Word. Amen, Lord Jesus. Amen Holy Spirit - Come to us, do not delay.

I think the baptism scene didn't happen for obe of two reasons One, there would be too much controversy. The Catholics and some others would want John to pour some water on Jesus's head. There would be others who would want baptism by immersion. Another theory is Dallas being an Evangelical likely doesn't believe baptism is necessary for salvation so just ignore that part of Jesus being baptized saying he does so to fulfill all righteousness. I also think the mount of transfiguration didn't happen as the majority of Christians don't understand the importance/significance.

Of course not. I am a Catholic, and even I understand this portrayal. Was Jesus accepted by His own? No. Was He accepted by the majority? Of course not, else they would not have called for His death. The Chosen is showing exactly what would have happened in that time, and they did a very good job of it.

I don't know if it was accidental or on purpose, but the soldiers who bring John the Baptist to be executed appeared to be in full Roman uniform. This is inaccurate. Herod the Great had his own Jewish soldiers to, and as long as the Judeans paid their taxes and kept the peace, Herod had little interference from Rome. Herod was a good friend to Rome, and taking care of trouble makers like John the Baptist was one of the reasons why. By the time Jesus was creating problems in Judea, Herod the Great was dead and Judea was divided up, part of which went to Rome. This is when Rome started taking a very active part in governing Judea, and had a Roman procurator (such as Pontus Pilate) assigned to govern the area around Jerusalem. Thus, in the case of Jesus, it was the Romans who arrested, tried, and executed Him, but not John the Baptist.

I thought that this episode was very well done if you were a person familiar with the gospels. However, if the viewer was not familar with the gospel accounts, they would have been confused by the time shifts between various scenes. This 30 year period was a lot to cover in a relatively short series episode and it had a lot of important elemental messages to portray. The gospels don't tell us, but I believe that Jesus and John knew each other as children, as teens, and as young men. John was the son of the high priest of the temple after all. Did John rebel against his own father or did his father realize the important role that John would live out in the coming of our Savior to the world?

To me I couldn't help but recall Ezekiel 1:28, "Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day (the sad day of John's execution), so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking." Also, Rev 4:1-3: John of Patmos' vision of the Victorious Lamb of God where as "one seated on the throne" he is described as looking "like jasper and carnelian, and around the throne is a rainbow that looks like an emerald!" The Visionary of Revelation also heard the voice say to him, "Come up here and I will show you what must take place after this." Perhaps this too, for those who know this scriptural text well, could not have helped thinking of John the Baptist as having hear those very words too - as if God was saying to him, "John, good and faithful servant, you have accomplished what I sent you to do. Now, come up here, and I will show you what must happen next!"

On Simon Z and Judas: this scene is good to setup Judas for betrayal and not full getting it. Also, Judas is not wrong completely because later in Acts the Apostles create the position of Shamashim or Deacons to serve the people and they can focus on prayer and teaching.

Covering yourself in ashes was always shown as a sign of atonement, like in Jonah. Am I wrong?
@workinprogress-ye5or2 ай бұрын
Jesus didn't need to atone though, he said not to show outward symbols of fasting. He said "“And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you” (Matt. 6:16-18).A priest answered a question about ashes on Ash Wed, this way " The wearing of ashes is a common penitential practice throughout the Old Testament. One example is found in the writings of the prophet Jeremiah: “Thus says the Lord . . . O daughter of my people, gird on sackcloth, and roll in ashes; make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us” (6:22-26). Ashes and other penitential practices can do great good for our souls, helping us keep in mind death and the transience of the world. The potential problem comes in our interior disposition with regard to the wearing of ashes. Is it a penitential sign, reminding us and others of death and of the fleeting nature of worldly things? Or do we treat it as a sign of our piety, a way to show others that we are so devout?

The biggest problem I have with how the show portrays Judas is that the actor is so likable. Knowing who he is makes his role so much more uncomfortable to watch - though done very well.

Claro, porque en otras películas uno se ha acostumbrado a verlo diferente. Este Judas llegó humilde, simpático, deseoso de seguir a Jesús, todo perfecto! Pero en esta cuarta temporada va cambiando el personaje, y eso está muy bien logrado por el actor, porque ya no cae tan bien como al principio ...sabemos lo que pasará en la temporada 5, pero será interesante como lo mostrará la serie en cuanto a Judas.

@@IstamnehapiTeca Yes, so true. Even though I'm saved and want to always do my best I still fail, sometimes failing in "spectacular" ways. LOL Romans 7:15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. While I does make me feel a little better knowing that even Paul had this problem it's knowing that Christ still forgives me that makes all the difference. Just repent, try harder and focus on Jesus again.

@@launicarazon Yes! One of the things I love about the show is they do a fantastic job of making all the characters realistic. Having Judas first appear so likable makes his later betrayal so much more powerful. He's not portrayed as being opposed to Jesus but as someone who thinks he knows a better way to do things. It's a great reminder that we should put our trust in the Lord, he knows what's best for us even if we don't understand it. 😊 Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Salome was a victim of her mother pimping her out. She was far younger than this show indicates. Probably 12 or 13. The dance is was also far more provocative. (The 'dance of the seven veils typically ended with the dancer naked before the one danced to.) Salome was undoubtedly a victim of s.a. Catholic tradition does say that she was saved, when Jesus was brought before Herod. His silence in the presence of hers abusive stepfather spoke volumes, and Salome was later martyred for her faith. I hope to see her in heaven, with John the Baptist.

The writers need to set the scene for us friend. For those who don't know the scripture - they are creating the image. Jesus was there with Mary in her travels on the donkey and also in the encounter with Mary and Elizabeth. Remember, Jesus is present at the Creation of all things - Genesis 1:1 --> Use the unseen presence.

I can't really see how someone not familiar with Scripture would make those connections you mention. FOR ME the first episode was too disjointed. It received rave reviews and...I'm very glad. I pray for nothing but success for the series. I will, of course, continue to watch every episode with great anticipation.

It think when you know what is going to happen and that John's time was done and he was ready, it lessens the gut punch. In the Bible, he asked Jesus in some doubt or just wanting to hear it again, if he was the one and Jesus gave him a nice reply. In this show, they just showed the lamb which was nice.

@IstamnehapiTeca I think that's a tad too simplistic an analogy. And (to answer the other poster), yes --- kings at that time had alot of power, including the power to pronounce a death sentence. Watch The Ten Commandments --- Pharoh pronounced that very thing upon Moses. As to Hamas being "tit for tat," has nothing to do with the power of kings in Jesus' time being able to pronounce a death sentence whenever they wanted. Plenty of kings in the Middle East (who were not Jewish) did the same, and worse. One does not equate (nor satisfy revenge) with the other.
