I have recently been fascinated with Herod Antipas for some reason, and have been looking at all the palaces his father built including Masada fortress. But looking at John the Baptist led me to discover Machaerus. This was the place where John was beheaded that’s still around till this day.

Thank you for all this behind-the-scenes information and learning. The Chosen is an amazing show; yet, when we learn all of the intricacies of film making and the challenges encountered by everyone in the cast and crew, the final product is truly miraculous. Whatever impatience and demandingness fans might have in the form of "why can't we see the episodes sooner??" should become muffled and even muted by these weekly updates. :)

[@laceyclawson]

Fyi, John the Baptist was NOT eating bugs and honey, he was eating carobs and honey as in carobs from the locust bean tree. The Greek words used for what John the Baptist was eating was NOT the same words used to mean the bugs but it was referring to the locust bean tree where carob which like dark chocolate comes from. Carobs and honey makes a lot more sense doesn't it? Not only that, carobs are extremely high in antioxidants and loaded with high amounts of nutrients. Also another fact is that honey bees are almost always found living in the locust bean tree, which has a ton of very large thorns and keeps a lot of animals away. The region in which John the Baptist lived is well known to have had locust bean trees growing there.

So fun and so exciting! Thank you guys for all your hard work. I know some people go crazy over continuity stuff. I do want to share the only thing I have ever spotted. During the scene where Jesus calls Matthew there are differences in Jesus' robe being sweaty or clean. But even that just makes me giggle, and then comes the look on Mary's face when she realizes Jesus is calling Matthew and I'm just grooving in the moment. You guys are amazing. So much love.

Having to eat a bug is a classical bit of initiation for any Wildlife rehabilitator. Those of us that have taken injured or sick wild animals, migratory fowl and raptors to try to rehab them enough to go back out to the wild. Usually done at a conference, it is a bit stressful to be called up to the stage for your "snack"!

I personally don’t believe it was bugs John ate, there is a fruit that’s call locust. And it makes sense John ate it with honey because the locust fruit is powdery and dry but sweet. It make more sense he dip the locust in the honey and ate it.
