Messianic Reaction to The Chosen S3 E1 | Why Did They Act Like Matthew Was DEAD? 

What got me was when Matthew realized he was hearing the word of God spoken by God

It struck me that what happened with Matthew (in the show) was a kind of resurrection. He died to his family in his sin, then Jesus saved him, and now he’s alive again.

It's crazy because He's not just giving the Sermon to the people there. He's technically saying it to us too. I mean, I really felt that.

One scene that stood out for me was when Joanna and Andrew were giving John their synopsis of Jesus' sermon. It brought out just how difficult it was for most at that time to grasp those concepts.

GIVE all of what you can and FORGIVE all those who hurt you. This is from 80 years of learning how to live at peace with my fellow man and 66 years of learning from Jesus.

That was one of my favorite moments from Season 3 so far. I loved the scenes with Andrew and John, Andrew later apologizes to Mary, and Matthew being reconciled with his parents. It is true that the power of repentance and forgiveness literally changes everything. This was quite the comeback episode for many of the characters. It touched me and I pray that others will be moved too.

I never considered the effect this sermon would've had on the disciples... This series brings the Word of God to life so well!

I really love this episode...hearing the sermon on the mount being presented in this way truly blows my mind and every time I watch it I feel God speaking through Johnathan right to my heart. Also, Matthew's parents going from mourning him in the beginning to welcoming him back at the end had me in a puddle. I think that's one of the first times a single word has impacted me so much. "Son."

I've said since like the second time I saw him that I think they're building up Youssef to be Joseph of Arimathea. His interest in Jesus and his connection to Nicodemus is a huge foreshadowing, I think.

"Son". .....That took my breath away! ❤️

I like how they show the disciples all understanding the sermon on the mount in their own personal story. Then we see them apply the lesson to their own personal battles.

It was heartwarming when Matthew's father calls him "son" in the end, but also natural. It's reminiscent of the story of the Prodigal Son. The father loves his son. He is angry and hurt, but he loves Matthew. I think parents who aren't capable of such forgiveness really just have no bond with their child from the start - which happens, too, unfortunately. And it's often followed by neglect or violence and abuse (and reveals an immense brokenness in the parents who are unable to form that instinctual bond). I think in these cases it's alright to just let go. It's not necessary to try to establish a familiar relationship with someone who neglected you from the start. But Matthew's parents are regular people who love their child.

I was just rewatching this grafted of S3E1, and I caught your comment about all the people listening to Jesus sermon on the mount. You referred to them as day laborers. Actually they were all volunteers, fans of The Chosen, who paid their own way just to be part of the series, and made their own costumes. The Chosen couldn't afford to pay that many day laborers, so they put out a call for volunteers, never expecting so many thousands to volunteer. Miracles, miracles, miracles. Thought you'd like to know.

I love love love the way you dive deeper about the time then I've learn so much more. keep it up, this 75 year old woman is still learning about our Savior Praise the Lord for bringing this series, We need this at these troubling time

FORGIVENESS…..changes everything!! 🙏❤️

I just love watching you guys watch the chosen, I have you on all the time and it gets me in Gods word more and more! My best friend growing up was Jewish and I was in a Baptist home, I would go Hebrew school, Passover and wax around her family all the time, it gave me such a love for the Jewish people and their traditions! Because I’ve been watching grafted I want to start going to a Messianic congregation! I’m sorry it’s so long I’m just so thankful for all you share about the Jewish Jesus, I love it! I’ll help support you all I can, and I want to do the GraftedU class! God bless you and your family! ❤😊

When you said "we all have someone who got us to where we are" Mine is my grandpa. In 22 days it will have been 1 year since he passed away. He always led me back to the truth and I am inspired to live my life in faith like him ❤️❤️

Andrew saying SORRY to Mary Mag as she said for “the first time”….may we as Children of our Lord Jesus always remember to always say we’re sorry when needed.

so many people there, Jesus's words going out in the power of the Holy Spirit, changing hearts and lives!

I have watched the chosen seasons several times But I have been Binging on them again watching you It with your comments.. Thank you so much I have learned so much from both of you...

oh you guys give so much insight which makes totally and much more sense to the text. Exactly! We read it on Weekends with the fridge full... wow... so powerful! And what I like is that the disciples immediately began to practice what IESHUA taught. This is so lovely.

Excited to see y’all react to this season!

Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts on this episode. It really helps my understanding. What you shared on the power of forgiveness was great!

Thank you so much for your reaction to the sermon. Powerful 👍🤗❤️🕊️🔥

Just a wonderful episode!! The reaction so informative and oh yes the humor!! 💝💞

You guys know Yussif is actually Joseph of Arimathea . “He left his family in Jerusalem “ is the key. I enjoy your broadcasts greatly.

Because of Yeshua when we go to our Father, He calls us “son”.

Thank you. Your commentary is fun and educational! North Myrtle Beach, SC

BC is Before Christ or BCE Before Common Era, while AD is the Latin abbreviation for Anno Domini which translates to The Year Of Our Lord. So it is correct to say that it is 2022AD.

Lol I still tear up on that episode. Glad I'm not the only one!

The scene with Jesus & Judas....Yes that's exactly how I felt!! Like uuhhggg He's inviting in his betrayer!! Ohhh my gosh, So incredibly painful!!

When Quentus was on his horse staring and not talking I saw him as being awakened by Jesus’s words and this is the beginning of his conversion. In my humble opinion

Thank you so much ... again! Love watching your reactions and hearing you give us more background and understanding ... so powerful!

I do believe that the Savior knew the mind and heart of Judas just as He did Nathaniel.

Love your videos! Thank you! Funny and educational! I appreciate this!

Oh, you Boys, had me chuckling when u were talking about the middle name “The”. I actually had to rewind a few times to hear the part about WINNIE THE POOH’S middle name! 🤣😂😂🤣🤣

I love how they became doers of the word.

This reaction video is just SO good. Thanks to Grafted!! And Merry Christmas

I thought that they portrayed Judas as not quite fully committed in his conversation with his sister and interesting when Jesus refers to his name meaning and adding with his hands. Also liked everyone taking that part of the sermons lessons that spoke directly to them and put it to practice.

Crowds followed and gathered around Jesus because they felt safe. He taught outside because the synagogue weren't large enough to contain the people. And this also angered the temple priests.

Thank you, we surely do not get the deeper understanding of what it meant to those who witnessed this firsthand.

may favorite ep is the beatitudes.. i felt that Jonathan spoke to me directly.. and also the part of andrew and magdalene.. 🤧🤧🤧

God bless you

Brings back memories of my mother and I after I joined the military. My Mother sat shiva and said I disgraced her. In her mind she believed I was saying I was a man. This was a response to 911.

Grafted, you commented on the cancel culture of today but Roman society was the ultimate cancel culture. Even Emperors exiled their own mothers if they nagged too much. Our lost culture is like salt that's lost it's flavor. It's become post Christian and growing worse at an unbelievable pace. Families that once lived like Christians culturally even if they weren't born again openly, proudly live like pagans today. Can't wait til Jesus makes the disciple's evangelists. evangelists. I came to know Jesus personally almost 50yrs ago when 2 young women knocked on my dorm room door with the 4 Spiritual Laws. Still weep with joy that Jesus sent them and the Holy Spirit gave me the grace to hear and receive. Only thing to end the cancel culture is prayer, the Gospel pure and clean and the active love, forgiveness of Christ expressed through us.

I highly recommend “The Prisoner in the Third Cell” by Gene Edwards for a wonderful account of John the Baptist.

I do think he knew about Judas since the begining. When I first see this scene between Jesus and Judas, I cried and He said "We will see".

Love you guys... I love the show and have learned so much from you

I love your revelation and teachings, just seeing the love of the Father through you both for each other and the children of God ut here watching your sessions. You both are refreshing in sharing and teaching the good news. I miss the small cups...my goodness truly I am trying to find one. please create a set for purchase. Dr.C

been waiting for your reaction... fun, intelligent, and spirit-filled... Shalom!

I like the part where Jesus said we will see, to Judas. Because it shows he knows what will happened.

Ahaaa, quite a long walk to the mountain.

Yes and I actually did receive this as if he was talking to me in the sermon. I heard things differently believe it or not! I wasn’t just hearing it from the Bible I was literally being talked to by Jesus. Wow! And also I have apologized to people and they won’t accept my apology and they stay nasty forever in some cases and I can’t fix them but I at least did my best!

I was confused like Sam at the beginning. The first time watching, I didn’t even see the 24 A.D.

Sooo by now have you had time to think through the scene again with Quintus, Gaius and Atticus.?? I really think Atticus listened at the Sermon on the Mount, he is just mildly surprised by Gaius's answer to Quintus, and also then didn't give an accurate answer to Quintus... Yes ??

Did you guys notice that Matthew's Father and Mother were in the crowd listening to Jesus?

Grafted. Sam & Tom I watch you often. I’d like to mail you a box how do I and where

This was way personal, know what it's like to be disowned!! Life isn't easy but God is so....good!!

Dallas & Chosen Team... What you are doing is so prophetic God tells us that when the number of believers, gentiles, is brought in then the end will come (Luke 21:24 and Romans 11:25). Your efforts may very well be playing a critical role in the fulfillment of this prophecy. Have you or your team looked at any of the Dea Sea Scrolls for more historical background? I have been reading several (10 books now) of these scrolls and have discovered scripture in a whole new light. I love scripture, but it always seemed just a little out of my grasp of full and complete understanding from a cultural and time perspective. When I started reading the historical Dead Sea Scrolls, scripture went from being black & white to full living color. These books do not take president over the inspired word of God, they do provide a view of historical times and the personalities of key people of scripture. Some suggestions for a starting point would be the Book of Jasher, the Testaments of the Patriarchs, the Book of Enoch (the first Enoch only, the other two are frauds). Some others you might want to consider are the Ancient Apocalypse of Ezra, Ancient Seder Olam, the Ancient Dead Sea Scroll Calendar. You will soon discover why Jesus always referred to the Jews leaders as the "Jews" or "those Jews". Discover some of the what the Essenes believed and why they were the "true" Jews. God Bless you ALL. Keep looking UP!

You two are hilarious 😂

Love the person you chose to play the role of Jesus.

Can you continuing review of episodes to add historical and rabbinical insight?

Pagan VS Gentiles: a perspective that came to my mind is that most of those in the crowd are Jews and Jews have specific disgust for Gentiles who are unclean, undeserving of any blessing. It may have made the words more relatable and weighty for Jews at that time. Also at this time Paul hasn't yet been sent for the Gentiles so that this statement isn't to isolate the Gentiles. Bringing the favor of God to them would be another level of shaking of Jewish perspective as it is described in the book of Acts (even Jesus' apostles were astonished) .

John 6:70 (context) ~ after feeding of 5,000 "Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve."

Hello Dr. Tom. How can I be a part of your class? Please tell me how to register?

So good!!!

Hello from Coos Bay, Oregon.

👍🙏🏻from Northern Virginia

Will Rabbi Yousef end up being Joseph of Arimathea who followed Him in secret with Nicodemus? Hope so.

So powerful

That tiny cup makes me laugh.

My coffee cup is the Goldilocks if you were to compare it with your guys’ not too small and not too big. 😂

I’m wondering is Youseff is supposed to be Josephus. That really excites me.

From the time of Jesus'birth many sought him. Some found him and others not until His ministry. My question(s) is why was Jesus ministry only three years that we know of in the physical? Could it of been because there wasn't as big a population as there is today ?

Jesus was teaching His own people, and making a distinction between His people and the Gentiles, and He wanted them to see themselves as God's chosen people. All He said was that the Gentile nations worried about food and clothing, because they didn't know the true God. He wanted His Jewish brethren to realize that they shouldn't be like those who didn't have the true God, but to live as God's chosen nation by TRUSTING IN HIM. It was like telling them that they needed to LIVE like God's chosen people, otherwise they were portraying to the rest of the world that they were no different from the rest of the nations.

Our names mean a lot of profound things. My name means: the peace of God.

Re 11:11 “… house founded in rock…” it hit me that not only literally on rock but also on the Rock (God’s nick name) and then on Simon Peter (Rock).

Yes, watching Matthew 's reactions to The Sermon is Fantastic, but sometimes I wonder if Matthew is wondering why what Jesus and him practiced for 3 days was different than what JESUS really said.

l know this is not exactly the Bible, and as a reformed person, there's a lot of opinions about this series .....but l like the show! lt was even better watching it with you guys! :D

Something they didn’t look at here, but when Jesus brings everyone in, John is on His right hand, and guess who is on His left… it was so subtle, that I’m not entirely sure I’m not reading too much into it. I think they are going to go with the portrayal of Judas where he “presumably” betrayed Jesus, to force Jesus to use His might against the Romans. In this interpretation of Judas he was tired of Jesus not getting to the point of freeing His people, and so he betrayed Him so He would start the war almost every Jew was waiting for. When Jesus actually died Judas realizes he just facilitated the killing of The King of Kings, and the torment of that idea leads him to suicide.

How is it that Jesus did not already know what Judas was going to do?

I wonder why they built a stage...

Wait until you see episode 2 if you haven't already.

No concept of anxious as to what you’ll put on. Clothes are free. Anxiety about health and home these days

The rich lady in this episode was in Vikings and my first thought is don't trust her.

And Albuquerque New Mexico

Curious to know how much were the taxes levied on them total? 60% of their income??

Tqsm jesus

The Bible implies in multiple ways that Jesus would have known about Judas from the beginning. He "knew all people" and "knew what was in a man" (John 2:24-25).... But also, UNLESS God limited Jesus' knowledge at that time (which is proven in some instances elsewhere). God KNEW EXACTLY how this story would go (and how the WHOLE story ends, for EVERYONE), so he would know about Judas, but DID he reveal that to Jesus by this time? Great discussion either way, but I would lean toward Jesus knew. When the plan for redemption through Christs death, burial and resurrection was planned BEFORE the foundations of the earth.... And Jesus says "this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled (Matthew 26:56).... Jesus had to know.

Well, of course he (Jesus) knows…. Which made me wonder what he really thought , at that moment, upon meeting his betrayer?

Is there anything in the bible that talks about when the apostles started to do miracles and when? Did Judas ever perform miracles?

I think Jesus was a master of hyperbole to make his point clear! ❤

Why is the guy on the right drinking out of a child's tea cup?

The history of Jesus and Judas, in the many levels that it have... isnt rightfuly portraied anywhere i can remember. We all betrayed Jesus. Peter did it too. I know i did. Maybe (im sure) you who reads this comment too. And i hope Dallas will show us something more deep than the usual

I want to see what others think. Am I totally wrong about this?? I feel , not anger at Judas, but pity. I feel he had a predestined role to play in his service to Yeshua's ministry. If he hadn't taken the steps he took to turn Yeshua over to the Roman's, God would have chosen someone else to accomplish His purpose. He MAY have gone about it wrong, I don't know how God had it planned. But Yeshua HAD to die in order to concur death. I feel bad for Judas that he couldn't forgive himself and see that God gave him a hard, but extremely difficult, and important job. Hence Yeshua asking if he was ready for hard tasks, then saying "We'll see."

I thought “gentile” just meant non-Jew.

What did Tom do to his hair and Beard????? NoNo!!

I think he did that because he wanted his mother and father to ask for his help

Hi Sam and Dr Tom. GREETINGS FOR 2023., I'm sitting here at 1:40 something AM watching your video, on Wednesday 18.01.2023 with a bowl of French Fries, Tomato Sauce and a large mug of Coffee with Whole Milk, 2 Peppermint Tea Bags, a Fennel Tea Bag and a Cerece Tea Bag. Why am I saying all of the above? To explain that even the most "Heavenly" of individual, still can lead a normal life.... I'm talking about myself, aka "The Holy Spirit". You are all doing a great job. Dr Tom, you identified your brother, PAUL, as someone to look up to.....Did you not see that SAM was hoping that person would be HIMSELF? As someone who lived the PAST LIFE as MARY MAGDALENE, wife of JESUS and mother ot his children, it has so far left me feeling f"rustrated" that Mary the character's role is do diminished. She (Mary Magdalene) was and still is a formidable force, for Jesus and her own ministry. She wasn't just "dabbling" in prostition and trying to read books. She was also a healer, teacher, counsellor and midwife. In short, she was very much Jesus' equal, who also had direct links with higher beings, powers and God. Jesus is still my husband, even though he operates from higher realms. He still calls me MARY. We still work together in hospital, hospices, care/nursing homes, etc when asked to through prayers, or when we feel the need to intervene. GOD's presence is always with, in, through and around us. Love and Blessings to you both and your team of helpers.
