Raised as a Catholic Understood nothing Searched for meaning later in life Read mere Christianity Found intelligent design Saw the chosen Explored like a maniac Found you guys Thank you

So you missed why that old man was talking with Matthew--He was one of the shepherds in The Shepherd movie. He took on the debt of his whole family. He is kind of a Jesus figure. And when he spoke of his death he said he would be meeting his Messiah again. This shepherd saw Jesus at His birth in the movie.

That part were they explained about Benjamin and Benoni representing or symbolizing Jesus was amazing. Never heard that before. And also the blue dye from a snail not found for many centuries. It's amazing.

Your commentary is the one that I wait for. I have listened to catholic and evangelical commentaries as well, but having the jewish historical context is so important, and brings so much. Thank you.

Really love how Andrew's the one comforting Phillip now. He started this season so anxious he didn't know what to do. After the Sermon and hearing Jesus say "Do not be anxious about your life", he really took it to heart and surrendered to Him. As someone who struggles with anxiety, Andrew's such an inspiration.

Mary's conversation with Matthew was so powerful; "Our lives are often painful, yes?" For me, this was the highlight of this episode; among all the outstanding moments. Thank you for your reactions to The Chosen; the commentaries are enlightening, filling in the gaps of my understanding.

Phillip says "Hades", and Gaius in the cistern repair scene says "Styx" at one point 😂. Thanks especially for the information and link to Jesus with Benjamin's naming. Thx also for the insight about the exclusivity of use for the word "mute". Had Deaf Christian friends many years ago that had the word "Ephphatha!" framed and hung in their living room with the scripture beneath from the New Testament. It is likely the first voice they will hear will be Yeshua's also.

I have said this before but your friendship is one of the highlights of watching your reaction videos. I absolutely love your wordplay: you “lured” me in “hook, line and sinker.” Thanks for the laughs, you two😂

This is a beautiful storyline and you two, who are now our DEAR FRIENDS on this journey through more fully understanding the nuance of THE CHOSEN, are providing smooth mortar for this structure being built over the 7 seasons. We love your ministry!!!

The miracle of healing the mute and deaf man was even more special than at first glance. This man had not ever heard the spoken word much less speak it, but Jesus not only healed him, He made it so this man understood the words and could speak them! To me, that is the miracle. Praise be the name of the Lord!

“In Me you will have peace, in the world you will have tribulation. But be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.”

Love, love, love how you dissect The Chosen scripturally with an Hebrew flair - of course because of your extra knowledge, Tom. We're all learning. So spot on. Love how you both dress in like colours tonight - beautiful, you're both so in sync.☺

You guys are so smart! I have learned SO SO much!! And you react with happiness, sadness, empathy, laughter and tears. I have so much respect for the both of you and what you’re doing for the kingdom just by what you’re doing here. Thank you!

I love the Gaius storyline. He's evolving so beautifully. In the episode where the zealots were after Zee and Jesus had been healing, he stepped in to defend Jesus under cover of keeping Roman order. I can't wait to see Gaius in season 4!

They actually set up Simon's not-great running in Season 1 with Simon having "bad shins", and they're reinforcing it here😊

I love you guys! The Chosen lead me here. A blessed Lent, to all who observe. Peace be with us all! Shalom Shalom!

I think it's cool that so many people in traditional mainstream Christian denominations were exposed to an actual Purim celebration. I thought it was so cool when my wife and I first started attending a Messianic Synagogue in 2015-16 (Recovering Baptist here.). I knew what Purim was from reading the Bible, but had never "Seen" it celebrated, never had noise makers handed to me, and had no clue what a "Hamen's Hat" was and had never seen the play put on. It was great. I like the way that The Chosen shows these celebrations of God's Holy Days that mainly get "Glossed Over" in the mainstream denominations as being a "Jewish Thing". I know that I learned that I had been missing out on so much for the 55 previous years of my life . Thanks for posting this.

Man! , You guys made me wait soooooo long!!!!! You have become my most favorite KZfaqrs regarding The Chosen in particular and any other stuff you put out becomes a must watch! I am a bible nerd, historical geek and you bring both together so beautifully. For example, do know know how many times I rewound that one particular part of the show, where Zeb was about to give Peter a whopping? I just couldn't make out that word, and no wonder! It meant his circumcision day! That's part of why I like the show. To get the full benefit, you have to dig deeper. There's a scripture that talks about that. You make the show so much deeper to me. A million thanks for you guys!!!!!! BTW,Whenis episode 8 commentary coming out? Also, I would personally sit thru every minute of each episode just to hear your comments. On another note, I desperately wanted to join your online bible school but being in a country where the exchange rate is 160:1, it was not possible. If you guys ever want to give out scholarships to third world countries, look me up! Thanks guys.

Your insights so enrich my understanding of the Word. Plus it’s funny how you crack each other up!😂❤️

Yes it is huge and I never fully realized just how impactful that is because I always have known of Jesus' Jewishness. I am so gratified that this touches your heart. Love your program and insights. Thank you both for all you put into this with humor as well! We are blessed!

You guys crack me up ! My first wife was Jewish so I was exposed to Jewish humor earlier in my life. You are definitely doing a great service here to open up understanding and do it so well !

I love these videos so much. I wish you made the whole reaction video available. I love your insights (and jokes) and I want to know what you thought about every scene!

Always love how educational these are -- the perfect balance of informative, emotional, and funny. Chef's kiss.

I love all your videos so much that I’m constantly looking for new ones to come out😁 I always end up with more Bible knowledge and a lighter spirit from all the laughter after I watch one of your videos! I could watch you guys all day!! 💙💚💜

Awesome reaction. Love your insights. Can't wait for your reaction to S3E8. The 'walking on water' scene was heart-stopping. I mean imagine seeing that while in the boat, in-person!

I laughed, I cried, and I learned. Thank you!

Beautiful conversation between Mary and Matthew!

Thank you for explaining why they were doing all the actions. You guess are great!! You make learning fun and so easy.

This video could have been twice as long. I love Grafted Reactions to The Chosen!!

Always watch an episode of the Chosen and episode of Grafted. Thank you both and God bless you❤

Soooo cannot wait to see your reaction to the finale!!@

As much as I'm eager to see all your reactions to all the episodes. I appreciate that you're showing them out too as it means we've still got things to watch until the behind the scenes video's of filming 4 starts. Plus really hope I'm going to be able to do your course at some point when I'm able to. Our maybe even more than one as I'd imagine you have more than one course you're hoping to be able to run ultimately. Love all your insights so much, it's encouraging me to seek out more historical and cultural insights. Looking forward to whatever other videos you put out. Thank you for all you do.

That's so good Sam. I love your quote "like He's saying I want you and I want your sin gone". Strong conviction, I can remember and hold onto this.

A dose of the Ghost! You guys are a great addition to understanding all of this...with humor!

Thank you so much for reaction and scriptures through the messianic point of view. God bless you ✝️🙌🙌🙌

You guys are awesome. Love to learn while laughing

Was waiting n waited long for your reaction ... I always get to learn something new from you guys . Can't wait for episode 8 🙂

Fish jokes 29 minutes in are HILARIOUS! Love you guys! (a believer from the nations who’s proud to have been grafted into the Fold)

May God continue to bless GRAFTED. I always learn from you and yet I am always laughing at some point.. THANK YOU

Really enjoy hanging out with you guys. So funny and informative. The Chosen has brought out the Bible for me. Plus, I like how you discuss clips of scenes.

I gain so much from your reactions, thank you for these.

Love this 😍. Thank you for your commentary, it really opens up about the gospels and informs us of things that we would most likely not understand or overlook. Fabulous! 🙏

Thank you so very much for your explanations of all the Jewish laws and celebrations that were touched upon in this episode. It was very helpful!!

I have enjoyed your comments. I love it because it makes me think and learn. Thank you.

Hi, there. I really love your episodes about the Chosen. I hope you don't stop making them. Love from Indonesia. 😍

My first time here and I love your commentary! HaShem bless you! 🌷💜

So so cool to have you tell us about the colour for the tsitsiot...and just a month or two ago the perfect red bulls were sent back to Israel

For the deaf man, more was restored than his hearing and voice. If he was born without either then he had no true concept of language. Jesus would've restored that too. :) Thank you guys for your explanations. It is a joy to learn from you about our Jesus.

Y'all are so funny with the Abba jokes! 🤣🤣🤣

I freaking love watching you guys!!! Phil and Andy! I’m laughing so hard right now 😂 Your interpretations and comments are not only spot on but hysterical as well ❤😂🙏✝️

Great reactions , as always... God bless you

So, so good y'all! I think thd remark about not being good at running was also a throw back to the first season when Andrew said Simon was not a good runner & Simon said he had bad chins. 🙂

I love learning about the Jewish faith through the show. I too as a Christian seemed to forget Jesus is fully Jewish. I feel much closer to the Jewish faith now. This show really is something.

Another great one brothers! Thank you.

I can't believe I missed this yesterday! I love this episode and it sets up episode 8 sooooo well. I can't wait to see you guys react to the finale, it's one of my favorite episodes of the entire show so far 😊

The chosen also commented that in S1 E4, when James and John are running to the boat, John outruns James and they said that that was a set up for the "end race."

It's everything ok with you guys ok... I've been waiting for so long for your reactions to the last two episodes. Prayers and blessings to your families

I love you guys. This episode was so enlightening! I love the way you all react to things and explain things. I’ve been a Christian for almost 58 years(almost all my life) and I was always taught that Christ was a Jew. And as I got older so am I in ways being “grafted” into the family. I understood it better as we did an international adoption 38 years ago. I am Gods daughter. Know it, feel it and love it! But you all dissecting the Chosen has grown me more and more!!! Thank you. AND…pointing out that when Phillip fell and hurt his leg and said ‘Hades’ went right over my head and I laughed til I almost cried. Thanks for all you do.

i watch you guys alot it actually makes me laugh and i need that ,the chosen is so awsome

When will you be posting the reaction to ep8? I’m so looking forward to your reaction with the ending!!!

That’s so interesting about the race to the tomb! I wondered why they kept bringing up Simon’s poor running/bad shins.

Y’all ever getting to Ep. 8?

Haha! We left the Hanukkah lights up! I love it!

They made a reference to Simon being bad at running in Season 1 as well. Andrew was bugging him about it

The senior who talks with Matthew is the shepherd that visited Mary and Joseph when Jesus was born.

When Mary explains the gift of faith... well, it's was one of my most favorite touching moments.... if not THE favorite. I needed that explanation too...

That sequence of dad-jokes was hilarious!

Ive been watching everything The Chosen video of yours for the last year or so. I get so excited when there’s a new uploaded. I’ve never commented before and I just wanted to say thank you 😊

Amazing just loved this.

Is there a deeper significance to the 'hiss'? What about Simon breaking the pots on the roof? Last episode - Pilate's bracelet on the right arm? Thank you for your genuine emotion while watching each episode and for filling us in to the backstory of what is happening in each episode. All praise to God and his use of wise scholars and writers.

Love your comments.

So love your reaction videos! Still processing your class.

Still waiting for your analysis on Episode 8. Love your insights on your channel. For now, Happy Purim. 🙏🏽💗

Love that I know what "Jew / Gentile unity with distinction" means because ---- I took Dr. Tom's class "Biblical Messianic Worldview Study". Love that you're pointing it out in The Chosen.

Your comment about Jews not knowing Jesus was Jewish is reflected in so many of the testimonies one hears on One For Israel -- so stunned to open to Matthew's gospel and be confronted with the Jewishness of Jesus. It really is a transformative truth.

Yayyyyyyy!!! YAYYYY! In caps! Finally! Been waiting for your reaction Tom and Sam! ❤️🙏🏼❤️

You explain it in a way that I thrive, hopefully you will be back soon

Oh man you two are on a roll!!!! This was so interesting tho!!!&

Another great reaction. Peace

I love this episode of Grafted! I have a question. Tom told us that for 1800 years, the snails were abundant. But they disappeared. Then. 100 years ago, they reappeared. Where did the snails go when they disappeared? 🤔

God is Great... ALL THE TIME 💯

I am a Christian and a gentile, I never really thought of Him as a Jewish man. Only a man.

I caught the bad runner thing when it was first mentioned in season one! But who really got to the tomb first? The women. of course!

When are you two going to show season three episode eight I would like to see your reaction to the ending of that. I love the chosen since day one I found your channel not too long ago. You guys are awesome keep up the great work and you’re also funny.😂

We all a story of how God enters our lives. Thank you Jesus.

This is wonderful.. when i first saw the Benjamin scene, I remembered I had heard it on one of your early videos.. so wonderful to see it here again.. 😁

I'm an RN - and I'm curious about the specific references to "disinfecting the wound". I thought Pasteur (how many hundreds of years after this) was the one who discovered "the science" which would lead to this knowledge and language.............How did the "historical context" guys miss this?

Y’all are crackin me up tonight! 😂😂

The def mute: When he hears and speaks for the first time it is Yeshua who he hears and speaks to. I also see Adam. When Adam was created, the first thing he sees, hears and speaks to is God/Yeshua. Powerful! Just got that connection.

The funniest (pointed) comment: It's almost like they had their Bible open [when writing 'The Chosen'].

How could anyone NOT know that Jesus was Jewish?

Thanks all!

Looking back at earlier episodes, in S1 E2, Simon also mentions he is not a good runner. I never caught that the first time through.

I've never met someone who didn't know that Jesus is Jewish. I thought it was common knowledge.

Simon (Peter) has lost a child and almost his wife as well. Yet, he still has faith, angry, disappointed yet still Loves Yeshua.... like Job did......just as 6 million Jews did loved and prayed to GOD. I understand Simon.

The thing you said in 22:25 really hit me! As I‘m from Germany and in history class we extensively learned about WWII and the Nazis I got reminded of how some churches and Germans who claimed to be Christians supported the Nazis and their ideas. The more you think about it, the less sense it makes. The Bible and the authors are heavily influenced by Judaism, one doesn’t even need to be no scholar or genius to notice this. Heck, Jesus himself was a Jew, so would they have turned a blind eye to Jesus being persecuted and bad things you can’t name happen to him while calling yourself a Christian?

I have a question for you... I have a good friend who is a part of gentile Messianic synagogue and believer and she has spent alot of time talking about how we, Christian's, read and understand the scriptures in a Greek mindset and we should change that as God meant for us to read and understand his word from an Hebraic mindset instead. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this idea. I'm not convinced it's not partially true as I find learning about my Jewish saviour's history expanding my idea of Him and my faith. However, I know several of the new testament if not most books were written in Greek. The festival or feast celebrations are so removed from our understanding in mainstream "christianity" I wonder if the messianic movement isn't yet another "denomination". Please don't hear any disrespect I truly long for all believers of Yeshua to be of one voice praising God the Father, his son Yeshua and the works of the holy Spirit in our lives. May God richly bless your ministry.

Jesus told little James at their scene that one day he would leap like the deer. In that passage in Isaiah too.

Hi guys, will you be doing a video for Season 3, Episode 8? I know it was packed with gold and profound scenes...❤

I would love to see a video unpacking the story of the prodigal son
