Love your videos, so helpful...

That juxtaposition of Genesis 1 and John 1 bowled me over completely. What magnificent writing.

The very best part of the whole CHOSEN........WHERE the thunder roars as John writes and speaks to Mary. Then he turns and looks out the window at us. ~2000 years later we are there with him; we are participating in his story.

Thunder = Voice. Wow I love this revelation.

I don't care if I'm watching the actual episode or a reaction video of that episode. That scene at the end gets me every time. John watching Jesus read from the first scroll and putting 1+2+3 together from his conversation with Jesus in the scroll room. As he puts it all together in his head, he's overwhelmed emotionally.

I'm impressed by how s-l-o-w-l-y and thoughtfully the scene between John and Mary was done. Can't recall a film that had moments to think.

I just read Ps29 this morning. What a coincidence! It said ‘the voice of the Lord thundereth’. I never knew that thunder and voice is the same word in Hebrew. Please please please do all the episodes because I’ve always known that I’m missing a lot because I don’t know Hebrew or Jewish traditions so I really enjoy these insights from you. Much appreciated.

“I cannot hear it (the thunder) without thinking of you two”. Jesus named John and James “the Sons of Thunder”.

Thank you for teaching us about Jewish customs, words and history. Being non Jewish and not speaking Hebrew or Aramaic, you are opening the bible up to me to see differently, just like The Chosen has done. Thunder = voice, I would have never known this plus other things you are explaining to us. Again, thanks and love your humor.

I LOVE HOW Y'ALL TALK ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE ,SO CALLED CHRISTIANS THAT SPEAK BAD ON THE CHOSEN. ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DONT SEE WHAT WE SEE.

As a Torah keeper, I have also just been amazed at how God is speaking through this show. I was expecting the regular Protestant Catholic "Jesus." I see the hand of YHVH really moving with this. I pray for the Chosen project and their continued guidance and obedience to what God is asking them to do.

A tanner and a fisherman walk into a bar. Then a roman soldier walks in and the tanner says to the fisherman "Quick! Hide!".

The Chose has helped me love the beauty of scripture. How perfect is our God.

In today’s society we see so many progressive churches that are trying to pull us away from His word and focus more on us and earth. Your videos, and explanations, (sermons per-say) take us away from those shallow messages and bring us back to God. Thank you for your discipleship. I had so many feels throughout this video.🙏❤️

I love the phrase….” The now but not yet”. So powerful

It's fantastic to hear the historical background and facts about The Chosen series. I hope that you go back and start from the first season! I subscribe to One For Israel, and I was so pleased to hear that there was Messianic take on this series. I'm a Christian from Utah, and feel that Israel and Jerusalem are more relevant than ever! Thanks!

You say they are following the book of John but they are also following the book of Mark very closely too. Which is a good nod to Peter since many believe Peter told Mark the stories and Mark wrote it down. So the show is following the story from Peter and John perspective. On another note I want to thank you for your videos. I’m a pastor with the Assemblies of God and this past year I have been wanting to learn more about Jewish custom and culture to help me understand scripture better myself. I found your channel through your Chosen breakdowns but I’m looking forward to watch more of your videos to get more insight of the Jewish beliefs so I can understand they Bible better.

That 1 sheep was me after I had my stroke . I cried out to GOD when it happened by HIS Grace and Mercy he allowed this to happen to me to bring me back into the flock and has been healing me spiritually and physically that's the Love of GOD ❤🤞🙏

I’m so blessed to have found your channel!

I Love the Chosen !! The People have became " More Personalized, Real " !! Understanding the cultures and the dynamics of the time is now for me made Clear and understood

Hi, guys, just found you, it's fun to be "part of" the discussion. I could talk for hours about every episode of The Chosen! I was wondering, you both seem a little mystified by Matthew, did you know that Dallas Jenkins said they portrayed Matthew as being on the autism spectrum? I was thrilled all the more when I heard that, it makes so much sense, both in the portrayal by Paras Patel, and in the mystery of the real Matthew, his extreme attention to detail, as well as which details were important to him. Not to mention Jesus' compassion shown this man, both in reality and in the show. This detail added to my enjoyment of the show, seeing Patel's excellent acting, and adding another dimension to the group of the Apostles. In the 1st season, I loved how Matthew's Roman guard appeared to be developing genuine affection for the strange little man. I also loved how Jesus' littlest buddies, the children, befriended Matthew when they invited him to sit on the roof so he could see Jesus. I've only watched 2 episodes of season 2, but it appears the other Apostles are just tolerating Matthew. I look forward to seeing how Matthew's story unfolds over the full 7 seasons.

I’m so glad that I’ve found your videos, especially on ‘The Chosen’. You guys bring so much more to each episode. I love how ‘The Chosen’ has brought these stories to life, and your videos bring better understanding to that! Thank you!

I recently began watching and appreciate sharing the Jewish community out of which messiah came. Theologians have been emphasizing this more and more. Your discussions and insights help being that to light.

I've watched all of the episodes of The Chosen. When you bring out things and explain the history behind the scene my eyes are opened and I see something new. I love Jewish history and culture. What you bring is incredibly educational and eye opening. Thank you so much for what you do here. Shalom!

I have several Christian friends at church who watch The Chosen and one of them watches your channel as well. I can't get my family to watch it yet but hopefully they will come around. Thank you for explaining the history so well.

This episode of The Chosen is far and away my favorite episode. There is something so beautiful and indescribably Holy Spirit-filled here, from the beautiful book-ended scenes to the whole narrative of the Good Samaritan twist. Oh boy if the show ever gets to a level of having episodes this good consistently!

I still tear up at the ending....I’ve watched it 6 times now!!

Love the Messianic historical context of these videos. It enriches my spirit. Thank you.

My favorite part of this episode is the thunder at the end while he’s writing as though he’s dictating from the Almighty

I love how they cut from John speaking with Jesus about the word as the greek definition and cutting to him in that room like he was talking to someone. As seems like he is communing with God like he was there. Its precious thought God wants to fellowship with him as his friend. To talk with him like he is there in the room with you.

There is nothing in this series that can legitimately be criticized. Human so we can know him and his personality! God coming down to relate in a way we can relate. As relationships go now, so they went theirs, so assumptions are needed so that we can RELATE! All I know is that this series has and is changing my life!

„It was not called camping, it was called life“ … just understood why i love camping so much 😊❤ thank you!

Guys,I love your comments! They are really the perfect complement for the show. Please keep do it.

'Adding to...', in the way you are referring, and the way The Chosen adds to, doesn't change the plan of salvation, or the doctrine of the Bible, it simply makes it relatable. Grafted and The Chosen are both incredible, because I don't feel as though I'm listening to false doctrine. Since I've seen The Chosen several times, I am now binging Grafted!! =)

Having just this past year become part of a Messianic congregation and starting to study Hebrew, I love how much I am learning from you both. I am so glad the Lord used The Chosen as a vehicle for you to share with us. Thank you so much for your ministry.

I listen to you two men every day when I take my prayer walk. you are both excellent !! I am just thrilled to hear all your insights into the movie “The Chosen”. I’ve been a religious sister for over 50 years and I look forward to listen to Your wisdom!! Thanks so much you two are the best. All your Jewish insights are right on!

Just found you guys. I have watched The Chosen from the beginning. As a woman who was part of a Messianic congregation for 25 years until our precious rabbi retired, I am enjoying this so much! I will continue to watch The Chosen and your insights afterwards. Blessings and Shalom.

This stirred me up today in my Spirit. Woo hoo! Request: would you guys consider doing a video about the two types of Jewish literature mentioned at the end of this reaction vid? Of course, any new video from the Grafted guys is always exciting! Shalom!

Part of our Jesus’s agony on the cross: seeing His Mother’s sorrow. So, John takes on the care of Mother Mary like a Son.

Thank you for clearing up that they were sitting shiva for James.

I wish some of my Christian friends would watch and listen to your explanations... They are saying that this program is blasphemous.... Makes me wonder if Jesus came would they recognize him because he isn't portrayed like they think he should be in their mind... My friends are truly missing a blessing! May the Lord bless you both.

Yall are great! I love these videos, I came across you guys because of these videos about the Chosen. Thank you for the information you give, I love learning about the Jewish culture and about these facts about the bible. My husband was also laughing and thought you both were funny 😅 I also like some of your other teachings as well. Your helping us to understand the Hebrew and Jewish roots of faith, but as a gentile believer I also feel comfortable that even though I dont practice some of what the messianic Christians do that God still accepts our faith all the same, but I love to learn about it and gain understanding and it is very beautiful to understand the history and I can be grateful God brought us in by grace!☕ Hi from Texas!😉

I've lost track of how many times I have watched The Chosen episodes. You are pointing out details that I didn't realize are there. So very meaningful! I would love to view footage of you two doing each episode.

Ahh, I get it: John said to Mary "...but I was there for things that Matthew doesn't know about." And there he was, just him and Jesus, in the room of Samaritan scrolls. Hearing things no one else heard. What amazing writing!

I’m loving your comments better than any others I’ve listen to. I love the way you bring the Jewish history out and parallel with today. Portia

Yes, please plus Season 1, Episodes 1-8. Thank you.

you two are awsome ,thank you i cant get enough of the show ,i havent had cable for 10 years ,im 63 and on a budget and it takes alot to get me interested in movies ,i watch you tube alot ,thank you lord for letting me be in love with you and your word ,this is a dream come true for me .,you know reading is not my best way to learn ,thank you for the godly people teaching me,

Nice! I really like to listen to your commentary and insights of The Chosen! I’m sad you skipped the clip with the actual naming of the Sons of Thunder by Jesus, tho.

Thank you for helping me understand this series so much more! It has caused me to re-watch both seasons..and also "pay it forward", since I was a young Christian, (1980) I was taught to pray for the peace of Israel 🇮🇱 and the Jewish ✡ people. I've always been fascinated by Messianic Jews.. also, as a mother who lost my only 2 children within 2 years....I was blown away by your story of losing your sons and how you are healing all together. 💔🙏🦋 ...anyway, do you have a PO Box where we all could send new tiny cups and other items? God bless your ministry!!

I love your commentaries about the Chosen especially when you talk about its historical and cultural context. I am learning a lot. Pls keep on giving your comments about the series. Thank you very much.

So so good! Love your reactions.

Your videos are becoming among my favorites (and I think this episode of The Chosen is my favorite). A thought just occurred though, if Samaritans didn’t reverence the Hebrew Bible (Josephus is the source for this?) and only had their version/translation of the first five Books of Moses (which the episode points out), where did their theology concerning the Messiah come from?? What does it mean for the Samaritan woman at the well to say in John 4:25 “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

I love watching various reviews/reactions to the chosen, but you are my favorite by far. Entertaining and very educational! Count me in as one who hopes you will go back and do season 1 as well.

I found your channel through these reviews. I am also Messianic, but there aren't any of the same believers near me so I attend a Protestant church. I will be looking at more of your videos because I don't feel quite so alone. Even hearing you say Yeshua, I feel a fellowship that I miss. The reviews are also getting better the more of them you do..thank you for all of the input.

Thank you for the wonderful commentary. I am glad you mentioned about doing a commentary on the discrepancy in Matthew’s and Luke’s versions of Yeshua’s genealogy. I am looking forward to it.

So poetic, thank you, The Chosen.

So enlightening. The Chosen connects the dots and you guys color in the shapes. Thank you. (please be on my radio show....Rabbi Jason did. :-) )

Thanks you two, you are really breaking some bread for me!!! The world all over, need it!! And we understand some parts of The Chosen so much better. Thanks again.

Love this. Wish you reviewed more of James and John in this episode... so good.

OH WOW. Son's of thunder...Y'all are SO helpful in understand more of the episodes. THANK YOU

I love your videos. They are so informative and fun. Please keep them coming.

Every time I watch this video I just love the words at the end, and repeat under my breath like a prayer.

I love your reaction videos to The Chosen! I hope you do a lot more of them. Once all episodes of Season Two are released there will be a gap before we get any of Season Three, so you will have time to get caught up! I love the perspective you bring to the reactions, both your senses of humor and the Messianic Jewish perspective. I learn a lot from you guys.

So sweet! Watching your videos and listening to you guys are so calming. It brings shalom to my soul. Thank you 🌷

I really learned a lot from this video! Please continue doing more Messianic Jew reactions to The Chosen so the rest of us Christians may learn more!

Great commentary. I am a Catholic but am fully appreciating your view of the Bible. Thank you.

Your commentaries, just like The Chosen, are leading us into deeper inquiry and discovery of The Real Jesus. Thanks so much for doing these deeper dives through the lens of Jewish faith and culture. My cup (my heart) is overflowing!

Funny about Tom liking his coffee hot being the reason for his tiny cup. Funny because my granddaughter is taking a ceramics class & she just made me a tiny cup, bigger than Tom's but very small. I was noticing today that my coffee didn't get cold at the bottom. Yes, I wanted another tiny cup.

There hasn’t been a single episode of The Chosen where I haven’t cried.

I am so glad that you two are doing more reviews of The Chosen. Learning a lot from you. I would love it if you would review from the beginning, Season 1 maybe even The Shepard that was the precursor to The Chosen. God bless your ministry.

Ahh ok. I thought when he said, “It was a favorite memory” that he was talking about knowing that John would remember this moment in the future as one of his own favorite memories, and Jesus knew the future so he knew they were creating a memorable moment to recall later when John will write about Jesus after he is no longer on earth as a man, especially since you can see John recalling it in the flash forward while the real time moment is also happening. That made me realize just how much we are making moments together with friends and family who will remember these moments after we pass, and to be more present to that in the moment.

I love that you point out that key question that the Jews ask, if Messiah has come where is the peace. It is a question my Jewish friends still ask today. I love Jesus’ answer, so beautiful and simple and true!

Yes…this is the most important story in the world to ever be told…what could ever be more impactful for the life of every man, woman & child ever born. Nothing greater, no one greater & it’s based on THE truth, the person of Jesus the Christ….thank you for your oftentimes Holy Spirit inspired commentary

I’ve watched this episode several times and didn’t catch that Big James has passed nor what Shiva is. Thank you for teaching through these!!!! ♥️ #MoreReactions 🥰

I love when the Grafted and the Chosen are together. Learning just the few of what the Jewish law and language is so amazing. Today it was said that Thunder means the voice. And Yashsua in place of Jesus. Do you think a Hebrew Bible can be found written in English? I would love that. I could gain so much more! Thank you so very much. I love the knowledge I've gotten from your show and the half hour episodes to help understand what we may be missing .

You guys are so funny!! Great show!!

“Bible Nerd” I love that!

You guys should react to season 1.

I love hearing the words of Jesus. From John.

I’m so glad you’re back!! Your commentary on The Chosen is fantastic!

Thunder == The Voice in Hebrew: God is speaking here. I love these little nuggets that I learn from your channel. Thank you!

You both qualify to be Elders just by your compassion alone .

Shalom .... from 🇮🇳

Love the coffee cup! I live in Juneau, AK. Thanks for representing AK! 😄

I happened upon you guys a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love the way you guys go deeper into history. I love how you point out scriptures that relate to the events in The Chosen. I was already a huge fan of the show, but now I wait until after the episodes then come here to see what you add to the beauty of a well written story. Thank you for this. I am enjoying your channel and one other that gives Jewish history and helps us have better understanding.

This may be one of favorite episodes. Thank you for these reviewwwwwss!!!

Love all your video!. I think Simon’s tunic is short because he is short and the costume department knew a longer tunic would swallow him up and make him appear even shorter.

This is the best I've seen of the bible and The Life Of Jesus on film. And we are actually being taught. I'm loving this. Thank you Dallas for letting God use you in this wonderful way. And thank you elders for your commentary and explaing things. Some things I knew, others made clearer.

I learn new things about Hebrew language and tradition. Your reviews add so much to the show itself! Thank you! I'm so glad I came across your channel. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, that coffee cup. Lol

Can you please make a video explaining the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew you mentioned in this video? 👍🏻

Thank you guys SO much!

Awesome! So glad to have found your channel.

How the "actors" react is so authentic...

You two wild & crazy guys are fantastic! I did find myself " shussing" you so you won't miss a key line. I do love your insight, the humor & yes the tiny cup. Keep it up. The Chosen is rocking the world & taking us on an extraordinary ride! Oy

Thank you for your teaching, it’s so helpful and bless you

Please review more! I love the commentary.

I always love to listen to you because you are helpful in explaining the Jewish culture clearly to us!

Midrash is so so so interesting. I heard about it in one of the roundtables The Chosen has, where there's a messianic Rabbi that explained it. It is so so so interesting.

Love you guys. Enjoy hearing what you feel about the chosen
