One note about Judas. If you the viewer didn't know he's going to actually BETRAY Jesus, his arguments and resistances to Jesus and the others wouldn't stand out as much--bear in mind the other disciples push back as well, especially early on, back when Judas WASN'T pushing back. But even that doesn't equate to "he might betray and turn in our leader to the authorities" in their minds and it never would. Huge difference between "he seems unhappy" and "he's going to betray all of us."

About the Lazarus rising scene - The scream was not expected but I found it believable and probably happened. Jesus reaction was gut wrenching. Saying he had mixed emotions falls short...He knew this was his last miracle. He was joyous for Lazareth and the sisters, but knows what's coming and he also knows his mother would be there to witness. He's out of time.

@pamelakyle-campbell7786 ай бұрын
I thought “Peter, the rock” was metaphorical because Jesus was standing at the rock of Caesarea Philippi which was thought to be “the gate of hell”. I thought he was saying that here, I will build my church, and the gates of hell (here) will not prevail against it! There has to be significance to why Jesus said that where He said it. But, I could be wrong.😊

I agree with you about thinking it's a bit harsh that Thomas gets defined by his having had doubts. ALL the Apostles didn't believe Mary Magdalene when she said that Jesus was alive. I feel like getting fixated on having him "need a reason to doubt" kind of loses the notion that the historical Thomas was a normal person who feared that everyone was seeing what they wanted to see. Seeing this amazing man you knew to be God die a gruesome death, body destroyed entirely; I don't think that it comes off as needing to be rationalized cause it already is something that makes sense without him thinking Jesus couldn't because he didn't resurrect Ramah. I just had an unusual realization... if Quintus is the centurion at the cross who realizes that Jesus was the Son of God, and Quintus ends up becoming a follower of Jesus. We might end up seeing Thomas forgiving Quintus. That would be a really interesting scene to see since it would show a lot of character progression from Thomas.

I have been in Thomas's shoes. I have felt his anguish. I know his pain. Due to circumstances of a death in my family, I know how hard it is to face unjust circumstances in my human mind. I have wrestled in agony as he has. I knew someday I will get answers. But it is not now. I have faith, and trust in the Lord. In the meantime, I will be interested in following his journey.

Many times I have talked back to this stream but I have to comment when it comes to Thomas. When he buried the sundial he's trying to move on but it's still going to hurt and in his case he will probably be mourning the rest of his days. Just saying he lost the love of his life. Idk how long it will take for someone to heal from that. And I hope Judas leaves that alone or else he's just greedy and not confused just evil.

One last thought….Remember… As far as Thomas’s story arc is concerned… In theatrics, a lot can be done with flashbacks to add precision to perceptions, and fill in the gaps in the story telling … after all, it is a finite screenplay, attempting to depict an infinite story… God’s Story for the redemption of mankind

He converted the king's daughter and she became a nun, and after the king died, his successor wanted to marry the nun, and when Matthew chastised him, the king had his guard run him through with a spear. Nathaniel's death was more gruesome. Look it up if you dare.

Job said, "Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!. That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!" And those words were written in a book.... The Thomas story line is difficult to process, but read Job in light of this and ask yourself the same questions. A lot of us have had issues with the Job story line, but the point is that God does not owe us an answer. Thomas and Judas see the same things, Thomas suffers much more than Judas, yet Judas is the one offended to the point that he betrays Jesus, who only showed kindness to him, while Thomas experiences great loss and ends up trusting Jesus to the point where Thomas loses his life for Jesus while sharing the Gospel in Southern India.

One option to pad the next two seasons are flashbacks either to old testament or even gospel events they’ve yet to include. That said, some of the best parables come up during this timeframe and I trust Dallas enough at this point to engagingly portray for us the multiple intense exchanges between Jesus and the sadducees and pharisees. I think they might chronologically move some parables into next season to ratchet up the tension. My prediction for the structure of season 5: ep 1-3 - Entrance to Jerusalem through cleansing of the temple (flash forward to the temple’s destruction maybe but that could be too dark for the chosen) ep 4-6 - Discourse with the other Rabbis - In matthew this is 4 chapters of questions and answers, it might actually be a matter of what gets cut for time and pacing. ep. 7-8: The plot to kill Jesus and the last supper. Season 6 has a lot of ground to cover as well to end with the crucifixion. Jesus’s arrest at Gethsemane, three trials before the Sanhedrin, then Herod, then Pilate, all before the Passion narrative gets truly devastating. This one’s gonna be rough…

I always assumed, like you, that s1-s5 would be the ministry then s6-s7 would be the passion and resurrection. I mean, logistically it feels excessive to stretch out the crucifixion for a whole entire season. I don't even know what that looks like but it sounds hard to pull off. And yes, I also feel like the series missed a chance to adapt more of Jesus' parables. It feels really wedged in when they are brought up like the way the Decapolis chaos happened cause the big misunderstanding. Were I adapting the gospels I would try to include the events and use them as focus points to write stories around rather than get a bit carried away with adding in some plotlines. I think the Thomas storyline is my biggest qualm and even though I feel like Ramah being "fridged" was a storytelling choice I didn't like; I did like Ramah and believed that she and Thomas were in love. Seeing him hurt over Jesus not healing her but helping Lazarus is something that definitely evoked emotions and Joey is a fantastic actor. Unfortunately, I hate the circumstances of Ramah's death cause I feel like the writers DIDN'T think about how it came off like Jesus intentionally hurting the Apostles (he let Ramah go to the area he knew she'd be stabbed with a sword at and didn't heal her as she bled out, it's different than were she to die of natural causes like Lazarus).

I’ve always read it as mostly weeping for the fact that they had such little faith. Most people in the text seemed angry at Jesus for not preventing Lazarus’s death. Or being present to do so. No faith in his authority over death. Especially after he had explicitly spoken to his disciples about intending to wake him, and them confusing his death for literal sleep. Not understanding that death, in contrast to his power, is as simple as walking someone from their sleep. He essentially frustratedly exclaims that he’s glad he wasn’t there to prevent his death because now they’ll have a reason to remember their faith. His reasoning for weeping has always seemed clear to me in context.

@@thechad4485yes, and they skipped it in the Chosen but in the Bible Jesus does a public raising of the widow of Nain's son- public in Israel to get his name out at first - but he didn't have a target on his back at that point so it jump started his ministry rather than ending it (like laz or like would have done if he hadn't kept Jairus's daughter a secret).... so in reality they did actually know he had raised the dead in the past but in the Chosen only John James Peter and Jairus's family knew before Laz. I definitely agree that it seems like he is weeping for several reasons including that those around him don't have the faith that he had authority over everything yet.

Didn’t Jesus know he was going to raise Lazarus? The moment that he crumbled up the paper that decision had been made…Receiving the letter of his sickness? or even sooner ???Maybe even back when he knew Laz was sick while at his house…didnt he he know Laz would die and his part in bringing about his own closeness to death??? When Jesus wept… why for Laz? Part of me wonders is part of his weeping was just that this resurrection (of Laz) is going to bring him that much closer to his own demise. Basically because this is it…there’s no going back now. He’s literally moments away from bringing Laz back so it doesn’t make sense that he would be weeping for Laz. The dude is just asleep :)

Well Peter denied Jesus just a few days before Jesus' crucifixion. So i wasnt surprised at all that Thomas acted that way. Although yes im not that big of a fan of the Thomas Ramah plot twist. But it contributed to the development of the story leading to the crucifixion. Anyway, i think the death and resurrection of our Lord removed all the doubts and fears of the apostles which allowed them to really grow in faith and spread the good news to the world without fear even on their own. But before that, yes they still had hesitations because they didn't know better. Jesus in the end was the one who made it possible for them to have unwavering faith.
