hey there, my name is Dallas Jenkins, and I am the creator of the show you are hopefully about to watch in just a moment, The Chosen. I'm so glad that you are checking this out. I do want to make sure that you do understand that if you want to watch all of the episodes and seasons of Season One, Season Two, Season Three, the best place to watch them is on The Chosen app or the Angel Studios app. You can look those up in Google Play, the App Store, on your streaming device, Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick, but that's the best place to watch the episodes. You're gonna get higher quality, both picture and sound, and you can watch it on your TV and all that, so it's great. So, make sure that you do check that out if you want to watch more episodes, and it's free and easy, so you don't have to necessarily just watch this on YouTube. But if you are going to stay here and watch on YouTube, that is fantastic, and let me just tell you what you're gonna get with

the Chosen and why we even made the chosen. See, I believe that if you can see Jesus through the eyes of those who actually met him, you can potentially be changed and impacted in the same way that they were. Now, whether you are a believer or not, everyone can agree that the stories of Jesus, the stories from the gospels, change the world and that historical dramas are quite interesting. I mean, I watch lots of historical dramas that contain some beliefs or people that I might not necessarily align with, but I still love them. And I think that's what we've been seeing with this show, is people all over the world, in literally every country and in dozens of languages, people are appreciating revisiting these stories. Now, I do want to let you know that when you watch episode one in particular, you might be about halfway through the episode thinking, Wait a minute, I thought this was a Jesus show. Where's Jesus? Now, of course, Jesus will show up, and when he does, it's going to be very powerful. But until that point, we wanted to give you

an introduction into the setting in which Jesus came, the historical context, the cultural context, and yes, the people who were there, what they were like before they encountered Jesus, both his followers and his enemies. And so, what you're going to be seeing is the lives that they were leading, because I believe that you can connect with that. If you can connect with the questions they're asking and the challenges that they're facing, it makes these people that sometimes we see as stained glass windows, it turns them into human beings. And if we can connect with their questions and connect with their challenges, then maybe we can connect with the answer and the solution to those questions and challenges. I'm very grateful that you are checking out The Chosen. Make sure that if, again, I want to make sure you know that after episodes one and two here, you can check out the other episodes and seasons in The Chosen and the Angel apps. Enjoy [Music] mm-hmm mm-hmm [Music] she's sleeping later on, sit down to head hurting you again. No, I know you are thinking of the big new

star you know it's right there. You see no. Why can't you sleep? Yeah, what? I don't know. What do we do when we are scared? You say the words. I have a nice ones from the prophet. I say, yeah, the prophet Isaiah, right? Thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and he who formed you, O Israel. Fear not. Come down. I'll hear you saying. I want to hear your pretty voice. Come here. Fear not, for I have redeemed you. I've called you by name. You are mine. You are mine. That's right. Laughs [Music]. Somebody help me. Foreign [Music]. [Applause]. Like what happened [Music]. [Music]. [Music]. On the one [Applause]. [Music]. Foreign [Music]. Ahead [Music]. [Music]. Foreign [Music]. Have you stopped us? It's not enough to say hello. I'm our official business. Only Roman business is official business. My name is Quintus. I'm Peter of Capernaum. And I am great Nicodemus.

where it travels fast. Are you interesting me? Oh my friend, I'm a magistrate, not a military man. I serve the will of the people and Pilate, and I serve only God. Yes, yes, so do your enemies, the Sadducees, the Essenes, the Zealots, rogue preachers in the wilderness raving about a coming Messiah. They're all vying for the people's affection. What do you want, Quintus? I believe taxes are going unpaid. If you held me, I will help the Pharisees continue to thrive. How can I? The people already drowning in tax. Tell me, Nicodemus, what can be under the water and yet never drown? Fish. [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] that's you. Keep your voice down. Pardon me, Mr. Public Enes. It's me that don't want to be seen with you. Remember, it's Public Harness. I like it the other way. Tax man. Hey, hey, it's a month's salary for my son's combined right there. Toss them out. These are my property. I do

with them as I wish. I pay you to use this through trash on your own time driving. Use a bit of both now, isn't it? If any citizen asks about my cargo, I must tell the truth. It's the biggest pile of danganoke. No, honestly. I always look forward to my annual visit to Capernaum and your magnificent Sea of Galilee. It is truly the envy of the kingdom. Even my children are enamored of it. All day they would swim, frolic in the sand, and watch the people. Finally, one day I said, You love it here so much. Why is it you never go to the sea when we visit your grandparents back home? My son, he destroyed, but he said, But father, it's never anyone there. It's dead. And you'll see boasts the most exquisite fish. How unfortunate that those who do the actual fishing are unholy, foul-mouthed, given to gambling and secret dens. At even fishing on Shabbat, can we eat the catch and not be stained by the sins of the catcher? Make

no mistake. It is a sin to eat fish caught on Shabbat. What goes into the body of a man defiles him. Why are our Jewish Brethren taking their boats to Sea on Shabbat? I assure you the Messiah will not come until this wickedness is purged from our midst. Your actions are being watched, studied. God has entrusted you to be exemplary in every way. Now, if your status is too great a burden, you do not deserve to bear the name of Israel. I want to see my reflection in that plainest day. This teacher has traveled all the way from Judea. He is a member of the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. And I won't have him seated at the dull table, Joseph. Here he comes. Away, go get the others. Teacher, you have moved us all. Will you do us the honored Rabbi if that's where you keep the white sardines? Oh, we certainly could get it. It was a joke. Meanwhile, a fine Torah room is the heartbeat of a worthy synagogue. Thank you, teacher of Israel. You do us a

great holiday. The honor is mine, not only for your bright students but also for the soul of this city. You heard my address, of course. Your words will resonate for generations. You were luminous in my remarks. I asked for rhetorical purposes, Why are Jews taking boats to sea on Shabbat? That question was meant for you, Rabbi Shmuel. The reports are becoming too frequent to ignore. Of course, Rabbi, we will control it better. The Romans believe we do not work on Sabbath, thus they do not patrol. Greed has overcome the fisherman, or they are just trying to feed their families. Begging your pardon, Rabbi, the Centurion is here. He demands to speak with you. Please tell him we have an ordered guest and cannot be interrupted. Can't wait quickly impressive. Looks like we're not the only ones taxing the people. What do you want, Commander? I'm no Commander, but at least you know your place. This is Nicodemus's teacher of teachers. Show some respect. Ah, just the man I want to see. I'm here about a

Hebrew woman in a red quarter. Let's just say she's been causing a disturbance. You have an entire Roman legion at your disposal. Thank you for the reminder, Jew, but she needs a holy man. We Are Men of God. It is not our custom to frequent the red quarter. Perhaps I wasn't clear, teacher of teachers. You'll accompany me to the red quarter or will burn it down with our fire of fires. Thank you. This is your stop. Wait, this is the far side of the market. Get out. No, no, this is the job. You drive, so I don't want to. The market, it's too crowded out. I'll pay you double. Money won't buy this thing off me and my family if I am seen with you out. [Music] This is very unprofessional. Fire me. Yes, good. We'll be very happy. [Music] [Applause] Hmm, I see him. [Music] Are you the Messiah? Are you the Messiah? No, I'm not. Tell me when he comes, please. Foreign [Music] You're late, guys. I know.

could you feel it? You know what, Mark? It's on fire today. Everybody's on edge. All it would take is one person to snap, and you are just doing your job. Better hope [Music] thank you upstairs. Don't worry, rabbi. We took out the other lowlifes to protect your delicate sensibilities. [Music] materials, sulfur, nettles, hits up wormwood, go yesterday. Well, do your job. Listen, I agreed to Quintus's request, not a demand, because he should not demand anything of me to stop Shabbat fishing, which was already our law, and by doing so, was not a violation of my practice. And I will try to help this woman, even though it falls outside of my purview. Do not think of me as a tool to fix Roman problems. I will not continue to use my position of religious influence to benefit those who look down on my people, whether it's you or even someone like Quintus. So I will perform this task, but I wanted noted for your superiors. This is an

exception, so can we go now? Yes. [Music] If you know what is good for you. [Music] Let's go. [Applause] [Music] Much, Joseph. You're too powerful. That's right. Like I tell you every time I see you, like I tell my sister. Yes, seriously. I can only take nearly two, one, one more punch, one more, and I'm done. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] What was it? You're saying something about your sister. You think if you keep hitting me hard enough, I won't be married to her anymore? That's why they call me wide hands, because of what I do to you. Never can we please stop fighting every week. I know you never trusted me, but I love your sister more than anything. I will stop fighting you. You will, but my brother won't. Your brother. [Applause] [Music] Foreign. It's my fault. I talked you into it. Wine hands a little bit more clever in my head. Tax day is coming, two sunrises away, Shabbat, and then I

realized. Simon, thank you. We could lose the ball. What are you gonna do? Don't know. Blood from a stone. Where are you going to work? Work. It's Shabbat in an hour. But the Pharisees make allowances for that if lives are at stake. No one's life is at stake. No, no, not this moment, but it's coming. What do you got? Can you bug eating friend about it tonight? You're crazy, you know that? Just desperate. How long has she been like this? Like what? I'm trying to help her, Rivka. All you're gonna do is mess this place up. Then what? You're gonna stop by and help clean? Demons that torment her soul will turn your place to dust. Even if you care nothing for her soul, at least Lilith never hurt anyone that didn't hurt her first. Mostly, she has these spells. We let her be, and then she's as sweet as an angel again because it's all Lil [Music]. You can put an end to this. I adore you by the Holy Angels.

Michael Gabriel, Rafael, Julio, and Russia. I adjourn you. Cause a dragon, diabolical legions come out. I assure you, born a pattern, and she with all the Watchers and the holy ones in the name of Adonai, god of the heavens, seeks to deceive this human creature. Oh my God, I command you, the Covenant with Abraham, and the names of Jacob, Isaac, Moses, the old powerful action. Why are you from this innocent soul? We are not afraid of you. You have no power in your teacher. [Music] Are you finished yet? [Music] Simon. Hmm. Hello, love. Don't you hello, love me. Why did you beat up Jehoshaphat? What? My own brother. He attacked me again. He needs to know the husband of his sister is strong. Okay, but Andrew had no right to jump Ibraham from behind. Where are you getting this? Oh, Brothers, they are fantastic storytellers. Now tellers are fantastic stories. Yes, they are. They went into such great detail. You must have really given them a pound. Well, I was doing okay until hey.

come out of nowhere cost me an Android a lot of money. Oh no, they shouldn't cheat you like that when you are also cheating. All right, all right, well, oh, pardon me for saying so loud, but yours. What? Don't you say that my family is troubled in the mind, Simon. Okay, we are colorful and fun. You are stoic and purposeful. You think I'm stoic? Well, compared to me, together with perfection, just don't wake up. Never heard that before. I like it. You and me, fire and water. I like it. Oh, how was Ima's Shabbat dinner? It was lovely. I was fishing. What? Yesterday's catch? Good news? Oh yeah, put something in. Could be big. Good. Let's go to synagogue and please go change. You still smell. What do we do when we are scared? We say the words, Adam, nice words. Thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel. Fear not. [Applause] A lot of delivery. [Music] Foreign [Music] [Music] [Music]

foreign [Music] fear no [Laughter] no you're not the first. I have everything, everything foreign. You are alive. Stay long. I know. Please sit rash off the boat from Cypress. No, I don't have this drive. You know what they say, a mooc, a prevention. There is no preventing this, so there is no cure. Come on, Lily, it's getting worse. Yesterday they brought in their holy man, maybe even from Jerusalem. I only remember bits and pieces and flashes, the leader of the Pharisees, and he ran away in terror. So one religious big church just as full of it estimate. So I am in hell. I'm sorry, please just try foreign one of your nephews. Thank you. Looks like it was loud for a very long time. It used to hold something valuable. Don't need it anymore. You beginning to scare me. You and everyone else. Oh, that's terrible. Thank you. Here's something I need to do. And now you, Nick, you listen good now. You drink that up, and then the next one, and then the next.

one and then you stay here till you feel better. What your Hell Comes if it does we face it together now that you were my worst enemy so you're like we're thirsty here okay here we go we'll be late to dinner. I know you did everything you could for her now put it out of your mind. I could never forget what I saw tonight you are an honored guest leaders will expect you to perform and to have your wits about you. Why why must I perform for quintus you taught God's soldiers then for the slum dwellers and this would have what sort of performance is this when did Shabbat become theater. You are the teacher of Israel you do not have questions you have answers you have authority you bring Clarity not confusion. Come here come here tell me what do you see in the mirror. This is a cheap glass I can barely make out anything at all sometimes I wonder if what we can know of Adonai and the law just as blood. What if we're not seeing the whole picture what

if it's more beautiful and more strange than we can ever imagine. That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard, but it might even be blasphemy. It was just a thought, and you will never utter those thoughts in public. A man is free to question in his heart and leave it in your heart. Serious engagement. They expect an erudite teacher, not a doubting, blaspheming fool. Others saw what happened in the red district, and what did they see? You roll on Merit. You have dedicated your life's work to serve God, not to become Him. Thank you. I fail. Stop it. It was a mistake to be there in the first place, but from now on, stick to the academy. Leave exorcism to the exorcists. You're right. Never have been there. Spoke the words. Demon did not respond. You've turned them out, nickel. I'm coming. I got himself. [Music] foreign [Music] Your first thought might be that I should never have set foot in the red district at all, and I would say you are probably correct.

often we make decisions in haste in our desire to correct the lost soul. But how to explain what happened when I was there, Brothers? When we follow God's law to the letter, God is alive through us. Would you agree, people? And He lives through you, and you, and you if you follow His law. Now imagine if you can one who heeds only wickedness for a lifetime. Demons root in Wicked Souls as pigs and filth. A possession like this was fatal, and souls such as hers sadly are Beyond all human Aid. Thank you, foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] how would you address me, my life? Let me talk to the taxman, Matthew. Don't trust you that much. What if I told you I could save the boat and put us back in good standing? Nope, you don't even know what I'm gonna say. Don't care. Something foolish, and I'm finally ready to face this. You know this affects me too, me. I need it. Maybe you should think of that, okay, next time you feel like taking

off for a week. That is so lucky. Or playing knuckle bones at the hammer. Or cheating your brothers enough for some easy scratch. I met a guy. Oh really? Wow. And get the Papyrus. Simon met a guy. Come on, let's just go hand over our livelihood. I'm done. You're done as I'll ever be. Good, good, good. [Music] foreign [Music] your last tribute was collected the first month of Summer. Your account is there for delinquent Dubai 40 days at the penalty rate of 10 weekly six weeks. That's right. You're lucky to not be in jail. Hey, what's that leave you when someone came with about 60 of what I owe. I can't even pay. We're ruined. Oh now it's we. Yeah, it's a high number. I say this based on your tribute history and future prospects. How do you choose to square your account? Are there gems inside? Just silver? Gold? Just open the purse. This will cover about half of your penalty balance. Have the penalty. My records indicate

that you filed for an extension not once, not twice. He just needed a couple of extra days, man. Extended rates compound at 15 as collateral. You've listed a fishing vessel and property. And all right, all right, I'm sorry about that, but my brother didn't mention was our arrangement with Quintus. You have business with Quintus? Yeah, my brother is dead in a year. Gratis for both of us. This will be verified with Quintus directly. If there's any inconsistency, now can I get my brother's not gold back, ax man. This will be verified with Quintus. If you are misinformed, you'll see what just happened. Don't speak, just walk. Next fishing didn't exactly go like I planned the other night. What's that got to do? I got nothing net after net, afternet empty. I catch a breeze around the point, all of a sudden, I know where the nets are empty, emerging fleet, six boats across, netting everything. What do you do? I follow them, maybe I'd catch them sleeping, snatching.

that during cleaner but it didn't work. Of course, it didn't. Desperate times, yeah. I even anchored and swam, thinking maybe I could get scraps, but they loaded up like clockwork, had cards with mules ready to move, sniveling Roman standing unsure. I can't believe that they never bothered patrolling on Shabbat. Yes, yes, yes. I didn't even bother trying to run. Good idea considering how you run anyway. As he approaches me, I'm trying to figure out why he's even there. They don't care about any of our rules. Then I realize they don't get the tax because we don't report any potential about catches. So, I tell him if he took me straight to Quintus, I'd let them know who caught more in one night than the guy there arresting catches in a week. No, not fishermen. Merchants. I guess who walks up behind me. Yes, he's thorough, I guess so. Yes, we talked, and what I said to Matthew was real. I don't like it. It's dangerous. I was so sleeping outside.

besides, what's the merchant that I've done for you? So what? They are our people. We're clearing the way for them, leveling the playing field. Yeah, we wouldn't be cursed if you inform on them. We're not doing anything, Andrew. That's fine. Better get moving, though, if you want to catch the taxman. Still be enough daylight to get out of the house before they take it. Just let me see the quickest can verify their story. If those Hebrew sea rats were lying, Quintus will have them killed and collect their tribute from you. foreign [Music] [Music] So did it work? I'm sorry, Lewis. We should talk, huh? Oh, what? Huh? It's going to scratch me too. Come on, not now. So it's not now. She smells anyway. I don't know what else I can do to help you. Give me that knot of it. That's not going to solve your problems. It's meant to distract from. No more preaching, just give it to me, Lilith. Please listen to them. foreign Don't touch me.

oh really Lily Lily are you okay now we have to go leave me alone foreign [Music] Mary of Magdala [Music] hi how do you know my name I says the Lord who created you Happy who formed you fear not for I have redeemed you I have called you by name you oh my [Music] God foreign [Music] I see a star and if you think I'll fall for that Eli you must think I was born yesterday was that a Shabbat when you were little of course since the time of the Covenant every seven days why so many softer is a time for rest and time to honor three things families are people and God family like soften Sabah yes of course close friends are like family too who else we honor our fellow citizens on Shabbat train yourself we are all God's people even friends we haven't met but most important of all we honor God in all his works regress because he rested on the seventh day we rest to refresh our soul to know him

better woman of Valor who can find her. Far beyond Jewels is her value, her husband's heart, trust in her, and he should lack no fortune. There may God make you like Ephraim in Manasseh. May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah on the sixth day and the Heaven and Earth, all their hosts. [Music] okay, it's the fruit of the Island. [Music] in the water. [Music] [Applause] foreign. [Applause] [Music] Maddie, you try. Oh no, no, get this. I have seen you braid Leah. You are wonderful. Two pieces told you she was excellent. It is a shame only Ananias will see it. You know what would be great? Do we have any flowers? Oh, I'll get the Buttercup. Don't move. [Music] I'm sorry, excuse me. I'm so sorry. [Music] foreign dog. What did he say? He detests you as much as I do, and this was a horrible idea, Gaius. We must

see Quintus. What he does not need to clarify anything for you. I mean, do you have any idea? Clearly, you do not. Dumb question. Idea of what? Who you are dealing with? Yes, I do. Really? Yes, he's the Roman occupying overseer of this region, and his primary responsibilities are to enforce the law and ensure... but not just the rhythm. Aware of his responsibilities? I don't think you know what he's capable of. If he's made to deal with this diamond person, I have valuable information related to this. Have you ever heard of somebody making a decision based on a hunch? If he has, then I must let him know. Yes, we must. But listen, I don't want to have to carry your corpse out, so I'm gonna wait outside for your replacement. Good luck. I don't understand. You are a fool. Public honest request an audience. Public on us. Yes, Dominus. And are you his escort, Centurion? Yes. So where are you going? Securing the passageway, Peter. Ah, well done. Come on. So a Jew tax collector and his escort.

demand to see the preter of Judea. It's urgent, they say, a matter of life and death. Last night burned very hot, and today I'm ash, so I'll get to the point. Why should I not kill you both? You first, but Dominus. That was recently approached by men who I left my tax collect faster. He was many months delinquent to relieve the substantial amount to get to the end. Did you hire a man to spy on Jewish Merchant vessels fishing on Shabbat to avoid taxation? Yes, Simon. He's in your District. He is. That's forgiven. Surprise as well as those of his brother, his. Yes, forgiven. Goodbye. Thank you for your time, Peter. I do not find Simon reliable. Once he was deficient in his taxes, and when I pursued remedy, I discovered that he had spent an inordinate amount on games of chance at the local establishment. Additionally, based on his financial status, I questioned Simon's connections to the merchant class. In spite of his current intentions, I do not believe you have an accurate understanding of what he can deliver.

I'm sorry for this. So, your last prayer at you. Stay there a moment, captain. Are you saying I made a bad deal? Yes, here, Capernaum, Dominus. My brothers across the world search for brave men to spare and recruit, but our power prohibits those very efforts. For what sane person would stand up to the Roman Empire? I am saying yes, but a very different kind of saying. I'm sorry, I don't understand. So, for you, say this. Simon hasn't got the level of the merchant class at sea, but he claims they all spend time at the same establishments. Is that false? I'm afraid I'm not aware of their social interactions, but even if that were true, it would be highly unusual for Jewish men to betray one another. So says the Jew who collects taxes from them. Mine is a different circumstance. I admire it. Well, it won't surprise you to learn that to date Simon has not fulfilled his obligation to uncover the tax evaders. He's in breach of contract. Not yet, but time may prove you out.

uh what are you called Matthew Dominus. I may yet have need of your keen powers of observation, Matthew. A special assignment. I would realize the opportunity, Dominus. Of course, he would. I'll be in touch, Matthew Capernaum. Thank you, Dominus. Thank you. All right, around for the table. [Applause] I don't need this to have a good time. What is this about? I can't celebrate my brothers and sisters, so make sure Amos gets aside, though he can't handle the good stuff. To buy a Jason, you'll need this to drown your swords after you lose this game. You, I don't know your name. You're new, but wow, we're not afraid. You still are fish. We're videos. Still are women. Look at this man like Epsilon, only that's better with an Absalom. Stay away from low-hanging branches, my boy. Stay with him. Steep staircases on man. That's it, sir. None for Jason. Oh, what did he do this time? Ask her wife. Merchants need was to help at sea. I need

what's your help on land [Music] oh and I see the hammer change its rules and allowing children go get caught in the net but you're here with a responsible adult so make sure James and John get some too please please after you please what is that whatever do you mean brother face you happy oh I'm handsome I just happen to be wearing a happy face I'm drinks for the merchants you fattening your Lambs before the slaughter no I don't want you to be miserable you are so I should be too nice I want you to be serious she's not a game nothing wrong with enjoying a little Financial Freedom a temporary reprieve from Doom that double knockout will change thanks holy get your footwork down and next time yeah I'll practice thank you holy thank you temporary retrieve oh believe it or not I don't like it either but these men they're not family you and Eden are my responsibility not them you two keep me up at night not them and you want to be rich yeah well I

thought I'd try the sentimental route. Maybe it's not my best look. Foreign [Music] ers studying was apologies. Have I what is so urgent, Shmuel, to church yourself? The Albertin himself requests your presence. God is good. What happened [Music] [Music] Nicodemus of the Great Sanhedral. We are greatly honored by your presence. The honor is mine, our bedding. I was given the impression it was a matter of some urgency. We are considering a formal inquiry. What are the charges? A miracle, Rabbi of rabbis. This man's testimony is clear. His account miraculous. The woman in the red quarter to whom you offered rights. She's redeemed you. You saw her, yes, teacher. Perfectly restored and ready. Wait at the hairdressers, at the market. The hairdressers, of course. They did not go in, but she was on The netting. I believed my eyes betrayed me, so I followed until I was certain. Silence. This is an unparalleled revelation. You yourself pointed out that the depth of

her demonic oppression was beyond human aid. They want to send word to Jerusalem at once. A betting with your permission, I would like to investigate the sighting myself before you conduct a formal inquiry into this or have news of its spread. We will of course yield to your request, but may we inquire as to the reason for your reticence? Just as this exorcism took some time to prove effective, it may have a tentative hold. It could come as a shock for a young woman of her station to be poor Global right. You'll learn it judges whereas my hands are familiar face. It is decided conduct your investigation but please be efficient. News of this kind cross legs Andrew will you help me please. I love you with what barely see anything of course. It's the darkest night in weeks. Okay we saw hurricane and come in offloading and cleaning their holes. Of course tomorrow is Shabbat but there's still a fleet out there. They're saving late because they're not cleaning out the holes tonight. They're definitely sailing tomorrow.

I'm guessing it's Amos. This is all a waste of time if it is. What do you mean? What I mean is Gideon and Tobiah sail with Amos. I'm not saying it's Amos for sure. It is. They're definitely sailing tomorrow. We got him. We got those are our brothers. Tobiah looks to you before his own father. So what? Well, it's my fault that a dumb kid doesn't know better. I keep waiting for you to tell me this is all part of a plan to come across the room. Andrew, there's a crew out there. That crew is stealing food out of Eden's mouth. They're gonna take our boat, maybe our lives. Maybe, but we made our choices too. You think this was a choice? You're not teaching today. I have research. Don't be too long. Our guests will be arriving early. Oh, Nico, they are dear colleagues who admire you. They have been waiting weeks for the teacher of teachers to lead Shabbat. It would be like sharing loves with God himself.

sharing. Am I the only one hearing this? It's a small gallery. It just goes through it quickly. Try to avoid spending too much time honoring God and our heritage. Congratulations. Do you want to lose that ugly nose of yours? Thank you. Only one language keeps their peace. Marcus, I'm going to speak it. Matthew, another unhappy citizen expressing his disapproval. I'll be fine. Oh, you're disgusting. Go home. I have a job to do. My father never allowed me to shirk responsibility. Well, I raised you right. You must have Roman blood. We don't speak. Jews are odd people. How can you not have a relationship with your own father? He says he has no son. Next, I got them. At least I think they're right. That's what everyone else was getting. Oh, what did you get, Maddie? Shabbat candles. Okay, I would not have guessed that. Mary's first about dinner in a little while. In a long while. I barely remember how to do it. It'll be great. I know how to make the bread. What do you make part

of the local bread. If you're hosting Shabbat, sweetheart, you better get moving. Preparations might take you all afternoon, really just to be safe. I haven't even swept. Get out of here. Get the fire going first thing. I'm excited. Rest the dough. What this kind of advice. What could go wrong. Foreign. It's you. It's real. No, no, please don't be frightened. My name is Nicodemus. I'm a minister to you, Lily. I don't answer to that name. I am Mary. I was born Mary, but you were called a little. Yes, please. I must go. No, no, please, Mary. I am desperate for your help, Mary. I'm a Pharisee. I'm visiting from Jerusalem. I'm a man of God, and I believe you have experienced a miracle, Mary. Are you really a Pharisee? Yes, yes. I'm sorry. I wasn't. I'm not here to enforce Jewish law. So, how do you know who I am? You really don't remember me at all. I burned incense. I don't remember.

until the blood, and I can't go back into that. No, no, I don't want you to. I can't even imagine, but you, you are healed. That, that much is clear. I just want to understand how would it happen. That makes two of us. How long after my visit did you feel the change? It wasn't anything you did. It was someone else. Someone else. He called me very, he said, I am his in redeemed, and it was so. Who did this? I don't know his name, and even if I did, I could not tell you. Why not? It's time for men to know. Has not yet come. It's time for me. He performs miracles and seeks no credit. Well, what does he look like? Is he a member of Sanhedrin? Would you at least know him if you saw him again? I don't know why I am sharing this with you. I, I don't understand it myself, but here is what I can tell you. I was one way, how I am completely different, and the thing that happened in between with him.

so yes, I will know him for the rest of my life. I have to be home to prepare for Shabbat, as I'm sure you do. So, mean that you're even posting Shabbat dinner. It will be nothing like yours, I'm sure of that. I'm going to try Mary foreign first, seeing you then red is wonderful. I know. How's fishing? It's fine, really. If you're surprised, why would I be surprised? I don't know. Is that me? You haven't taken a catch to market for days, and yet you have flour vegetables. Did you sleep in a warm bed last night? It fits. Why are you baiting me? I don't understand what's happening. Your hours are upside down, and your face is frozen in worry. Don't tell me nothing is happening. We're in a challenging season right now. I just need to work hard to get through it, and I'll get caught up tonight, and I'll be right tonight. What do you mean not happy about this either? I need to work tonight. You need to work on Shabbat.

is a special circumstance. I can't get into it right now. Andrew will be here for dinner as normal, and I'll just be gone for a few hours. Oh well, would you like me to fix your Shabbat plate to take with you? Listen, love, I know this. Don't listen, love me. I'm not a child. I just need you to trust me on this, please. Got this. Either you answer to God, not me, but next time you answer to the both of us, because whatever this is, I don't have the strength for it twice. [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] from an artisan. This is the last of a long line of traditional works that his family has made. This is solid gold from the flying schools. I hope you will enjoy. [Music] Ed foreign your mind love. How's my name? Do you know the significance? Tell me. 200 years ago, we were ruled by the Greek King Antiochus IV. He suppressed our religious observances. It wasn't until the Maccabees revolted.

and Dynasty that our worship was restored. You are as smart as you are handsome. Who is responsible for suppressing our worship now? It's a beautiful tapestry. Should the artists have made it less so? To what purpose? Sadness, a conquered people. You aren't wise; you are beautiful. We are humbled and honored by your presence of Capernaum. That you make us home. Only God can do that. Shall we join the others? Thank you. Try to get this a woman of Valor who can find [Music] foreign [Music] this is a fine place. Oh, thank you. Are we on? Is it still on here? Did you find us? I followed that meal, Barnaby. Not that he waited. Looking as handsome as ever, Barnaby. Lucky guess [Music]. The place if Maddie's here [Music]. Do I know you? Oh, sorry. I'm James. This is Thaddeus. We were told this would be a good place to come. We can leave if it's up. Oh, no. Please come in. You are most welcome here.

[Music] can we help? Oh no, well, uh, yes, I know what I'm doing. I see food, that's a victory. If I'm not doing something or doing something wrong, you tell me. Oh nonsense, it's already great. Can't remember the last time I was invited to Shabbat dinner. Me? Never. You've never been to Shabbat? Of course, I've been to one, been to lots, just never got invited. Who's the extra seat for? For Elijah, am I right? I remember my mother always setting an extra place for Elijah. That's only for Passover, just once a year, it said. Well then, say that comes, I'll have a head start on setting up. Can I read it for you, Mary? Stop it, Barnaby. I read better than you. My father taught me. Very impressive. Oh wow, is the first? Yes, let's eat. Like I said, you are very popular. Or it's a Pharisee here to shut us down for letting you be here. Foreign hello, it's good to see you. Yes, yes, I don't want to be rude, but

would it be okay if I oh yes of course please come in. I just never thought you them. I have just here. This is my first time. I don't know what I'm doing. Probably you already know this man. They are students of mine. I trust they have been polite. Of course, your guests can take the seat. Yes, Mary. I'm saying it first a lot. Francis is the man I told you about who um who helped me. Oh yes yeah Mary told her so much about you. Oh I hope not too much. I'm Barnaby. This is Shula. She is blind ah case you couldn't tell. I'm I'm so sorry. I I don't actually know your name. I'm Jesus of Nazareth. Well apparently something good can come from Nazareth. What Mary. I'm honored to be here. Why don't you begin. Oh no I I couldn't know that you were here. You must thank you but this is your home and I would love for you to do it. Okay I'll just read from this now. The heavens and the Earth

We're conceded and all their hosts, and God completed on the seventh day his work that he did stand on the seventh from all the work he did. And God bless the seventh day, and he hallowed it for thereon. He abstained from all the work that God created to do. Blessed are you [Music] Lord our God, ruler of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine. [Music] You have lovingly and willingly given us your Shabbat as an inheritance in memory of creation, because this is the first day of our holy assemblies in memory of The Exodus from Egypt. [Music] Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth the bread from the Earth. [Music] [Music] [Music] All right, two episodes down, six more to go in season one. Then there's eight episodes in season two, and there's also season three. And the best way to watch them is in the chosen app or the angel.

Studios app. You just look in the app store, Google Play, or your streaming devices. But if you want to continue to watch on YouTube, you can of course do that. But I do want to mention that those apps are free and easy, so you can watch the show free and easy on the chosen app or the Angel Studios app. But I will see you for episodes three and four. Episode three is pretty cool. This is when Jesus encounters some children out in the wilderness, and this is one of the most talked-about episodes that we've ever done, so make sure you check it out.
