A quick comment on last night's broadcast: I found no problem at all in how the actress portraying Elizabeth handled her roll. Interpreting a first-time mother AND senior citizen was surely a unique challenge!

[@chrisblanc663]

Loved it!!!

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

ROLE

[@tiffcat1100]

She looked so American to me that I actually thought there had been an American accent until I rewatched!

[@rochelle2269]

I thought they both did amazingly awesome! To see how deep their faith in knowing they’re carrying gifts straight from God!

[@martinerogier7543]

The actrice was perfect in the way she talked, smiled, enjoyed......very sweet

[@marybethdearmonbailey2254]

"Still dirty, Judas" -- SO symbolic! Masterful scene, packed with foreshadowing and metaphors.

[@kmsongbird]

I had not "planned" to be personally convicted by The Chosen's portrayal of Judas. So loving, so tender, so real, so TRUE, this scene. I love how you're bringing out the lessons we can get from this simple exchange over laundry. Oh how I wish I had learned these lessons back when I was a baby Christian in college. It's taken me 44 years to learn some of these lessons, THE HARD WAY. Oh how God has had to thrash me over rocks to get me to leave some things behind. I thought I was so smart, so talented, and had such an agenda about how God ought to use my gifts and skills. As Nathanael said in his first episode, HUBRIS.

[@bernadettematera-stacey1982]

Amen! Me too...❤

[@simonejohns935]

Judas attitude reminds of the scripture that says “These people praise me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” When he first expressed his desire to be a disciple, Jesus reminded Judas discussed the meaning of name “God be praised. “ He then emphasized that was praising with the hands then He asked him “are you willing to do hard things?”

[@workerdoer114]

Wow, excellent point. We best praise God by being "doers" of His Word - this is represented also by the hands. I hadn't thought of that. Anointed insight, Simon. 🔥

[@diYarm07]

This is what i noticed at the Sermon on the Mount: Judus came to Jesus and asked to join the group. All the others, Jesus, went to them and chose them. I immediately thought this.

[@marybethdearmonbailey2254]

Great point!

[@lindapoindexter2162]

But didn’t Judas tell Hadad that Jesus called him?

[@2012escapee1]

Washing the dirt out of clothes also symbolizes purifying the soul. "Glowing white robes" show up in the Bible several times for saints, Christ, angels, etc.

[@JulieDNemeth]

That's crazy how you found those 3 notes of music for Judas along with the coins. Thanks for sharing

[@janafidler-wiggers1674]

I at first of it was the sound of a snake hissing

[@ultramet]

I saw Season 4 in the theaters and I was kind of focusing on the John the Baptist arc in E1. I knew that there was more meaning to this scene but couldn’t process it. Thanks for breaking this down and this is why it’s worth rewatching the season. A lot is missed otherwise. I am grateful that everyone can now enjoy this magnificent season. May God Bless you all 🙏🏻

[@AlupaNana]

The 'Laundry scene' - thanks Brandon! I totally missed the deeper meaning here! I wondered how they would show Judas going his own way.

[@dwilborn1257]

With the notes from Judas's theme, notice how it clashes with the underlying soft rising notes. These notes played earlier in the scene, but It is almost as if Judas's notes are intentionally louder and heading in a different direction.

[@sprinklechesed]

Oh, I didn't notice that! So many great things about this scene. To me, the instrument described as the "coins" sounded like a rattlesnake's rattle or a snake's hiss--signifying that Judas is allowing the devil a foothold. I suppose it could be both coins and a snake, but there aren't any rattlesnakes native to Israel.

[@Mr.Batsu12]

I'm so happy that Season 4 is starting to stream. Now that I'm seeing the episodes I can start watching deep dives into these episodes without worrying about spoilers!

[@joannapilgrim]

I'm right there with you watching, finally, from Barbados 🇧🇧

[@chrisblanc663]

I remember people complaining that Judas was too likable in season 3. Now in early season 4 he is definitely not likable. We can also see the cracks starting to form that will lead to his ultimate demise. I love how you point out all the times Jesus is trying to instill in Judas the right lessons, and we see how he kept missing it because he refused to see the forest through the trees. He truly loved for Judas, but he just would not…

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

YES.THE "CRACKS." I LOVE THE ACTOR..BUT I REMEMBER TO LISTEN TO THE CHARACTER,STARTING TO "TURN." GREAT ACTING!!

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

I FINALY GOT THE CHOSEN AP--IT'S A LITTLE GLITCHY, BUT MY NEW CHURCH WAS ABLE TO SHOW ME EPISODES 1-4. SO I KIND OF MISS THE CHURCH--BUT GLAD OF THE DEEP DIVE..SAD AS I WATCH JUDAS BEGIN TO DISINTEGRATE...

[@1991ROLEX]

Handcrafted soaps made from scratch require three things to become soap: oil, water and lye. It is the chemical reaction between these ingredients that turns them into soap. Most soap also has other ingredients added to provide benefits to the soap, or to color or scent it. Lye can be made from wood ashes and water, or from a salt water solution

[@MsSweetlandofliberty]

Yes, as a soap maker, I concur. Real soap is not detergent, which is a synthetic chemical of recent origins, harsh and with an unhealthy pH, that is, too acid.

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

THANKS!

[@suem6004]

THANK YOU. I went ‘huh?’ When that ingredient list came up. However, I do historical handspinning and stale urine was used as a scouring solution too.

[@stefaniamanzella5624]

I pray and ask you too to pray for my husband. We have been married for 45 yrs. I believed that he was a good Christian man b4 we married, but totally shifted as we married. Now that I WATCH ❤ The Chosen, he gets so upset and says you and your Jesus!! I REALLY don’t know what to do, but pray……😢

[@jamesfarrell4545]

Hard situation but will pray for you both

[@LisaLockey-el1go]

What a powerful metaphor! I so love the musical themes throughout the entire series! Thank you, Brandon!

[@pauladegrange8021]

Thank you for this one. It's helping me on my own struggles in belief. I'm a born again Christian and I'm having growing pains. Praise Jesus 🙏

[@barbarascott3362]

Oh, the 30 coins!! I wouldn't have gotten that! You're right - it's brilliant! Thank you, Brandon.

[@dianemoody6915]

I love how you explain things. You are so much into detail. That is really a beautiful gift.😃💯💯 Yes he does. he's very Update

[@isaactheworshipwarrior6687]

I love that out of everyone, Simon the Zealot is the one who's brcoming the most wise and mature one. I think him being the oldest (at 40) certainly helps him to understand Jesus's teachings, and hes alresdy shifted bis life immensely when he joined the zealots thst he already knows how to adapt to another one.

[@nilarene2088]

Incredible insight! 😊

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

I AM MUSIICIANA-IT WENT RIGHT OVER MY HEAD ! ARGH. LOVED THE BTS SCENES OF CAST, PLAYING FIRST CENTURY INSTRUMENTS!

[@SteveZingsheim1970]

Great job Brandon, was going down the same track while watching it last night for the 3rd time. Also noticed the use of the word "saturate", and going back to "the source water"...such an excellent scene by great writers who understand the Christian life and yet from a purely storytelling perspective also expand characterization in the narrative! Did not notice the music and coins, fantastic point!

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

I LOVE ALLA, THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS "Z."

[@melody4cello]

Brandon, you talked about these musical themes that keep showing up with Judas. "Leitmotif" is the term used in music (as well as literature) for themes that show up again around certain characters (generally speaking, also works for settings, etc). Richard Wagner popularized (and arguably created) Leitmotif with his popular opera, "Der Ring des Nibelungen". One of the most well known pieces is "Die Walküre" or we call it "The Ride of the Valkyries" in English. Funnily enough, this piece actually has been featured as Leitmotif in pop culture all the way from old school Loony Tunes to current Tiktoks. (And obviously inspo for LOTR, both the author and the film maker!) Anywayssss, just some useless information that I carry around in my brain that kind of relates 😂

[@ruthholbrook]

This resonates with "Not what you were" from last season, except Judas still is.

[@joannapilgrim]

I really enjoyed this scene! It was so well written and in step with what we've come to expect from Ryan Tyler & Dallas. The metaphor was brilliantly layered.

[@barbaralaken2729]

Great writing! And good sleuthing Brandon in the coins sound.

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

AH!THE COINS "SOUND!" AHA!

[@multicreativeartist6579]

I’m going to direct biblical films like The Chosen someday in the near future. I can’t wait to start film making just to see your reaction and breakdowns 😂

[@bgreer6584]

Verrrry interesting point that washing the clothes, leaving the dirt behind is a reflection of what Judas needs to do in his heart! Makes me think about what dirt I need to wash out of my own laundry… Wow, also a fantastic point about Judas’ music changing!

[@charlisefaber2742]

Thank you for deep dives. I am so glad the Chosen is streaming so we can be a sleuth family again!!!!

[@maureenmigliorati3582]

Wow wow wow this scene is amazing I’m a bible and Chosen nerd but I have to be honest this one flew over me I was thinking why are they wasting time on laundry! Probably because I was eager to get to the John the Baptizer parts then I listened to the writers explaining and it became clear and now you have done this great deep dive I understand this scene is amazing beyond words absolutely excellent what seemed to be so banal is truely brilliant Thanks a lot Brandon x

[@ramonarichardson7904]

Separating the wheat from the tares”! Only Yeshua will be the one to do that! If you go back to the beginning of The Chosen, Yeshua talks about this theme… Very cool deep-dive 😎 Brandon!

[@MsSweetlandofliberty]

Yes, sorting through the fish, if I remember correctly.

[@lindapoindexter2162]

If my memory is correct Judas was telling his sister about joining Jesus, he told her not everything was about money, his sister said something like “it’s always about money with you.”

[@violarobinson2332]

Thank you Brandon. I loved how you unpacked the metaphors in this scene. It gave me a lot to ponder.

[@Maria-qn6fe]

You really bring clarity to these scenes,, thank you The Chosen Sleuth 💯

[@janmarino6473]

Did you notice Judas said “Kingdom of the Messiah” and NOT the “Kingdom of God”? It’s not about God for Judas - it’s about an earthly kingdom. Funny, physical expectations haven’t really changed all that much in 2,000 years. People still look for physical things much more than spiritual things even though Jesus made it clear to the woman at the well - spirit and truth. Love your insights, Brandon! Especially hearing Judas’ tune!

[@amywhigham4790]

Really love the breakdown of these videos, Brandon! But I really love the music insight as well! Super cool! 😎

[@amywhigham4790]

I didn't realize the coins in the music til Brandon said it! 😁 So cool! 😎 Love it! 😍

[@TruthWillSetYouFree832]

Thanks, Brandon. I enjoyed your running through this in detail. Also, now that you've pointed out what they did with the music, I'm wondering how I hadn't noticed that before!

[@patchrockit]

Right! That first scene included many of the gospels compacted into one conversation! it was great!

[@tammyfisher7824]

I love these replays and conversation about the episodes. It's easy to see the situation when we watch the episodes, but retracing some of the parts really gives indepth thought to it. Judas has the belief that Jesus is the messiah, but he fails to exercise his faith that Jesus will always provide. I always have thoughts about the one thing that Jesus asked of his apostles at the beginning, and that is "Follow Me". He didn't ask them to "lead " him or "provide " for him. Belief without faith is missing out on so much in a relationship with Jesus.

[@katymarie9542]

Brandon, this episode was mind blowing!! My husband and I both got so much out of this video. Wonderful insights!

[@LaurindaBellinger]

reading the bible it's easy to disconnect from Judas. We have hindsight that the disciples didn't have. I see a lot of myself in all the disciple's doubts and failures, especially Judas. It's very convicting.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks! So interesting!

[@nic4ever296]

Simon Z has come a long way. He has a much better understanding of who Jesus is and what he came to do now than he did earlier. Earlier in the show his idea of the nature of Jesus' ministry was much closer to Judas' idea of it now. But he has watched and learned. You can hear it when he speaks. You're right, that is why Jesus paired them together, hoping that Judas will learn something.

[@workerdoer114]

I like the peace you can hear in Z's voice.

[@katinaj6849]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Love the detail you give us! I hope in future episodes, after the betrayal, some of the apostles don’t take Judas’ decisions as their own failure of not making him understand. That would be horrible. After being w the group for several years I cannot imagine what they all felt when that happened. Bc of this video this was definitely my favorite scene in episode 1. The coin purse sounds like it shakes and falls. Amazing catch!! Love it!

[@tammywright1188]

I think it is awesome you shared this. When I saw this scene in the theater, I came home and told others exactly what you talked about. It was so full of scriptural teachings from the word-parables come to life so to speak. 😊. 🖖🏼✌🏼

[@jesuslives7710]

I'm really glad for the clarification you have given with this scene! Thank you! And, even today...sometimes we still don't "get it"!

Thanks super sleuth 🕵️‍♀️

[@LynnAnn-Yoga]

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. ~ Isaiah 55:8

[@workerdoer114]

Judas had no interest in becoming a "doer" of Yeshua's words, he wanted to manage Him according to his own beliefs (he wanted Yeshua to become a doer of HIS words instead). Reminds me of satan telling Yeshua what he could give Him if He left His Divine mission and instead followed him. 😐

[@biffmarcum5014]

The land is much further away across the water when looking out from Capernaum. You can see the Golan Heights from there. Never realized there were special notes for Judas or anyone else until now. Now I will probably have to re-watch the series and pay special attention to the music. LOL , yeah Judas as well as all the disciples are about to have a very rocky road ahead, as Jesus will really challenge everyone with some of the comments he will make. Very true comments, but also very hard to understand. I must say the 'thank you' by John was awesome! That was brilliantly done!

[@198Zofficial]

I am impressed with your attention to detail. 👏👏👏

[@amandahurley]

I’m so going to pay attention to Judas theme now! Love the add of the coins sound!!

[@onezenchic]

I think it's a "rattle", like from a snake and it shows the influence of the devil in Judas' thoughts as he knows Jesus is God,but chooses to do things his way out of pride.

[@fayewood1377]

Very insightful, thank you. I agree Judas is to prideful to follow the teaching of Jesus and is trying to manipulate Jesus to do what he thinks should happen, plus he can't leave his love of money behind which is his whole reason he wants Jesus to be a king thinking he will prosper as a follower.

[@Nurseoncall409]

Judas didn’t have a true conversion. He was caught up in the emotional moment of the events at hand.

[@carlyewilt2757]

I love your pointing out that the "coins" sound is being incorporated into Judas's theme. I think you're probably on more of the right track as far as the composer's intentions than I am, but the first thought I add when I heard that was the rattle of a snake's tail. Foreshadowing Judas's coming betrayal of Jesus influenced by the Deceiver who often appears in the Hebrew Bible as a snake/scaled dragon creature. Loved this video! Thanks, Brandon!

[@TheChosenSleuth]

Could be a bit of both 😁

Brendan, I have to say I must not be as musically inclined as you are because I never noticed it. I know you have been talked about it for a while, but it wasn't till this video that you pointed it out for me to hear it. I understanding what you're saying that it sets the tone.

Hi Brandon!! In watching this scene, I thought back to season three when Judas was talking to his sister, when she expressed doubts about him following Jesus. I wonder if they will get back to her after Judas’s betrayal of Jesus & his eminent suicide. She’s going to be devastated & I wonder if she will renounce Jesus as well!! It will be interesting to see if this happens in future episodes! Thanks for your deep dives! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the next episodes!😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

I AM A WRITER and love the "Luke" performance of Judas. also--- Later on? Charles Wright's beautiful poem,"St. Judas" is really food for thought--Look it up! IN grad school we all had a fascinating time , thinking what Judas would think about Wright's little scene-: Judas is getting ready ( in the poem) to hang himself-but stops, to rescue s beaten man--he knows he is DOOMED, a BETRAYER of Jesus. But, in the poem--he runs to help a stranger, and : " I held the man, for Nothing, In my arms." A great poem...but saving the guy does nothing to save "Judas" and in the Charles Wright poem, Judas knows that!

[@tklick19]

I loved this.

[@zellerized]

Good job dude

[@bettyknowles8490]

This reminded me of lots wife how she couldn't leave the old life behind

[@robertgrego1948]

DETAIL: At the very beginning of this conversation, Judas confessed to "Z" that he sold his shares of the family business to follow Jesus and was left with nothing. A glance into his materialistic heart, considering he was the "keeper of the purse" and John's gospel tells us he used to help himself out of it. He obviously regretted his current lifestyle. So, the 30 pieces of silver would sound like "compensation" for "time wasted" with Jesus, since he didn't get what he hoped for and was now a pauper.
