That scene got me bawling like a baby. I have Lupus and MS. My right eye is blind. My left ear is deaf. My left side refuses to listen to my brain. I live with pain. I've ve been accused of lacking faith. I'm so thankful for that scene. It's ok... his grace is sufficient for me.

We're crying with you. Beautiful insights. :)

I got to watch this in real life. In my dad's final years he was in and out of the hospital fairly frequently. A broken ankle that was never set straight and healed crooked. But that didn't cause problems. He had donated a kidney before l was born so he was left with one. A torn diaphragm that caused him to be on O2. And Type 2 diabetes. Two or three times he went in for dialysis because his remaining kidney wasn't working so well. After a couple days he would be out on his merry way. "You have the kidney of a 20 year old, l can't explain it" his doctor said the first time. Well dad praised the Lord Jesus to anyone and everyone within earshot. I know he lead a few of the nurses and others to faith in his visits. These visits happened over a 5- 7 year period. When he passed it was not a sad occasion. We all KNEW where dad was. And he was while and healthy and with our Lord and Savior! What a gift.

Jonathan and Jordan deserve an Emmy for that scene!

I’m discouraged and broken hearted. Please pray for me and my children that’s ALL I NEED AND WANT. I get harassed for sharing my testimony and for asking for prayers. I want to give up on my life. But God won’t let me. As a single mother I’m so overwhelmed at times because both of my children are autistic. I’m desperately struggling trying to support them and myself my husband passed years ago I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is still in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid all employees must be vaccinated against covid 19. I’m waitressing and I’m so 🙏🏾THANKFUL to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. But even as I struggle every month, and even though I’m ashamed because of my situation and ashamed from all the harassment. Compassion is Jesus’s way. I have faith that God will provide. Please pray for me and my children. THATS ALL I want. GOD BLESS!😊 Prayers do work.

At 5:30, I didn't see that as Jesus comparing. He was making a little joke. Out of compassion, to lighten the moment and to get a little smile out of James to lighten the load, he was simply joking. What a beautifully acted scene that the James actor was easily able to portray that he got it and could take some ribbing for the sake of compassionate levity. They did an amazing job of this difficult scene.

The best part of the conversation, “You will be healed.” You will be free. You will have peace. It’s not “if,” but “when.” When we enter his kingdom, we’ll be complete.

This part really got to me. I’ve dealt with migraines since a pre-teen and I’m well into my 40s now. I e said many prayers for healing and thought it’s something I didn’t do or lack faith. When those thoughts come in my head, I try to remember Paul where he said His grace is sufficient. Then I think of all the others who are other ailments that are worse. God has a plan for everything and I’m not going to question why I still go through my pain. His grace IS sufficient and this is a reminder of that fact. Our pain or ailments doesn’t hinder God to use us. We hinder ourselves when we focus on what He hasn’t healed us from.

I love the comment about Simon's temper! Having dealt with people, tempers are so much harder to deal with than physical disabilities. Plus, "Little James" knew Simon's temper, so it gave a momentary relief from the intensity of his conversation with "Jesus" and allowed him to focus on what he was being told about not being healed, instead of HIS feelings about not being healed. And having gone through the grief of losing my husband, I can tell you those moments of levity make it so much easier for the comforts being offered to come in.

I just watched yesterday. I cried and still I cry today. Watching this series has made me understand so much more than all the years and days at church. What a gift the series has been.

Having Cerebral Palsy for 70 years now, I can relate to this scene and even the emotions that were displayed, God has decided NOT to heal me, but it doesn’t make any difference to me. wether he heals me or doesn’t, I still choose to love and serve him. This body we live in, is only temporary anyway. One of my favorite verses is Romans 8:10 (NKJV) And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Powerful scene. But our Messiah always healed. He never turned anyone down.

My mother has a paralyzed leg after having polio 81 years ago, and I have had multiple miscarriages, a stillborn son, and a daughter who died a few minutes after birth. I really felt this scene!

I understand that this scene probably exists for a modern audience that doesn’t see signs and wonders and healings. But Jesus healed all who came to him for healing. While he was on Earth, that was part of his ministry. There’s no way he would not have healed his own disciple. It would be enough of a sign that his disciples could heal in his stead.

In Matthew it says that he healed all who came to him not some ALL!!!!!😶

This scene literally put me in tears. This was the only scene in the entire show that impacted me so much that I cried. I have CP and I’ve it my entire life. It has been very difficult and literally dictates how I move in each day. I have prayed for healing my entire life, but I think It’s God’s will to show His glory through me just like this. God, May Your will be done. Help me to accomplish the purpose you have for me.

I had an NDE in 2003, meet Jesus and was told I will help heal the world. I've been sick and disabled since and God has been preparing me, but I constantly doubt things because how can I heal when being not healed? This scene spoke directly to me and had helped my faith grow stronger, and my health improves every day I just put my faith in God. Love to all. Amen.

I've been watching The Chosen since it's come out. The more I watch, the more it speaks to me. This last episode that you show here means the most. For nine years I suffered with degenerative osteoarthritis in both knees. I became so crippled that I needed to be in a wheelchair to go anywhere. I'm raising my grandson and being disabled made it very tough. I asked God many times to heal me. I later had both my knees replaced. It wasn't until after my knee surgeries did I realize why God didn't heal my knees. The night after my first surgery I was able to pray the Salvation prayer with an elderly lady and also pray a prayer of peace over another lady who was so fearful! Several years prior to that, God told me he was going to use me as a conduit and I never understood. After helping that lady find Jesus as Savior, I knew what He meant. I want to be used by God and I'm beginning to realize that His ways are not my ways and it may not come easy! Great episode of The Chosen and Grafted. Peace to all!

This scene truly touched me personally. My 20 yr old grandson was waiting for a heart transplant that he never got. He suffered even more after a cardiac arrest, he had surgery and lived 3 more days but then he died. This was exactly what I needed to see and hear! Thank you guys for your explaining even further what Jesus was saying 🙏🙏

“Jesus healed all that came to him” It’s 100% unbiblical to say Jesus didn’t heal people because it would inspire others to believe even through their sickness.

There are people that only James could reach, walking with a crutch. As horrible as it was for James to walk with his crutch, in God's eyes he was limitless. 🥲

Dallas Jenkins conversation with Nick Vujicic in the aftershow for this episode is powerful and Nick shares some incredible insights

I absolutely love your reaction videos. They reveal your deep, abiding faith and the understanding you have of the Father’s love encourages me greatly. Thank you both.

The scene gave me goosebumps. It’s so beautiful and a great teaching.

I’ve seen this scene idk how many times, but it gets me bawling. I suffer from schizophrenia, and depression. The part where Jesus says to James “you will be healed, it’s just a matter of time, so hold on a little longer. Shalom my son” is what really gets to me.

My Jesus is Willing and Able to Heal All who come to Him in Faith

As someone disabled since birth and not been healed, this helped me see thru a different understanding.

I love that you guys cry because it shows your love for Messiah. May the Lord continue to use you both mightily for His kingdom purposes! Blessings.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 love this commentary so much. God bless you guys!!

Guys, It always amazes me of the awareness of two such young men as yourselves. Clearly anointed, clearly appointed to do good works. On occasion, If I get lost in a concern. I set my cell alarm for 5 hours (just one chime), when it goes off. It's time to change focus and remind myself of Yashua's suffering on the Cross for me. When we become followers of Yashua's, we accept that there will be "necessary sufferings",... his assurance makes you believe!

VERY TOUCHING, I CRIED A LOT WHILE HEARING EVERY WORDS, OF JESUS AND LITTLE JAMES, HERE I AM, OT TOUCHES MY ♥ HEART, THANK YOU LORD..

I really look forward to your reactions on the chosen bec.. even if i am a catholic i never grew up in a home with relationship with God.. we might be religious but i had to make an effort to get to know him.. last yr i started reading the bible and i pray that i would get to know clearly the one that i am reading.. and i discovered the chosen later this year and then i found your page such insightful.. somehow i felt it is a light in the dark.. and how i love your rawness and the way you are touched by each scene.. it is so human unlike other reviews that they contain their emotions.. just because they are a man.. i look forward in all your content and you both look amazingly great.. ❤️ from Philippines..

New subbie friend here. Your videos are so insightful. Obviously the Chosen is an emotional roller coaster and your reactions and words make it even better. Thank you for your honest reactions❤

Yes I enjoyed your clip! Thank you so much! Amen!✝️🙏

I love you guys. Thank you for your education and hearts. I cried from the episode and every time i see this scene I cry. But when you all get filled up with me just by watching, it gives me so much joy because it feels like community. Bless you both.

Sam and Tom you are such a blessing to me with your tender and understanding hearts.

Just saw this ep last night I'm almost caught up. Yes that was a very emotional and powerful scene. GOD BLESS!

I always cry at this. I had a stroke which left me with impaired vision and years of recovery to gain normalcy. At first I was so angry but slowly I learned that I had time to really study the Word and feel His Love. I rejoice now and tell anyone who will listen that God is Good!

There's so many beautiful scenes in this entire series. I really have fallen in love with this show. You can tell that they put a lot of love and effort and respect for the life of the Lord Jesus Christ and his apostles.

Love your work and I am so glad you have switched the large and small views that we see! Thank you for all you do to help us understand God's Word!

I love the book Imagine Heaven. It was such a comfort when my Daddy was in hospice.

Hello Tom& Sam!! I’m loving season three of the Chosen- as I’m sure you are as well!! Episode two wrecked me- in the best of ways!! This scene between Jesus & Little James really hit home for me!! It lets me know that whatever we are suffering with, the love of Yeshua& the Father is always present & never ending!! He sees us!! I’m eternally thankful & grateful for that!! I’m also thankful for your channel & content!! It lifts me up!! I pray that God blesses your ministry and you & your families!! Wishing you the happiest of holidays!!😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🎄🎄🎄

I've watched this scene several times but it still making cry. its so powerful

I was recently diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disorder that flares up from time to time. It was hard knowing that I would deal with this for the rest of my life, but after a while I realized that God was preparing me for a deeper relationship with him. As James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

Sobbing along with you guys while watching the scene between Jesus and Little James about "A little bit suffering on this side of eternity"! Tears just roll down and won't stop. Phew!!!

I love how flabbergasted Jonathan as Jesus reacts to the "burden" sentence. it feels so real and so warm. great acting.

Thank you for sharing your hearts❤

Thank you for explaining this scene!

Made me cry. How the greatest is to trust and PRAISE GOD. WHAT understanding .

This isn’t biblical…. I need to do a reaction video. I understand the sentiment but Jesus never once used this line on anyone. This scene isn’t biblical and neither is the theology

Havent even seen episode 2 but I am crying already 😭

Praise God ! Happy birthday Jesus ! Merry Christmas to all !!

Thank you guys

I always love your reactions. God bless

Thank You! God bless ❤️

You two have had an impact on me. Your love for God and for each other is beautiful and so very obvious. Thank you.

I love seeing your guys reactions to the episodes. It is so genuine and you can see the love for Jesus. Thank you for sharing

God Bless you guys.

I actually thought the Bible says Jesus healed them all, I didn’t know there was a time when Jesus didn’t heal. This scene sort of confused me.

I’m still compelled to disagree with how The Chosen portrayed this issue of healing. Even if you agree with the video that this scene was NOT about healing, but about the fact that all followers of Jesus should expect suffering, to leave the audience with the implication that Jesus did not heal everyone that wanted to be healed (not found in Scripture) is what I have a problem with.

The answer to the caption is really streight forward from the words spoken. To walk with God doing great things and telling about his healing and not being healed yourself show loyalty, faith and commitment. To do God's work expecting nothing in return is more powerful then expecting.

By His stripes we are healed.Believe this words, instead of believing in your symptoms.Even if it is not manifested in your flesh, believe that 2000yrs ago you are healed by the stripes of Jesus.Your faith will move mountain and in due time your healing will be manifested on your body.

God bless you guys❤

Signed up for your course in January. I love your perspective and want to learn more.

This scene changed my life ❤

So powerful. Great job acting

I cried so much in this scene ,these words was in grave in my heart, how can’t I not serve him

I agree, All They Do, They Are Amazingly Awesome.......Love And God Bless Everyone

Thank you for the glimpse of joy ❤

Outstanding!

When Little James asked Jesus this question it reminded me about my hard, dark childhood and growing up, when I was 11 year old girl my Mom died when She was 31, 5 years later Granddad and 6 years ago Grandma, my Dad was an alcoholic through my Whole childhood and he stopped drinking about 5-6 years ago and while alcohol was more important I was always sick, every and each month, since I was born. I've had problems with my health and it was hard to catch up with lessons and school and I've cried and screamed to God why He will not help me, or do something? Why He took my Mom when I was only a little girl? And I didn't want anyone to get close to me, I was ashamed of myself, my Dad, I was angry, blaming myself to for my Mom's death, I couldn't forgive Dad or even myself. I didn't want to live and just any hope left me then, strenght too and I was only asking God why won't You just take me and end my misery that You love to send on me? Why won't You kick me more? Or why won't You heal me, make me normal, stronger so I could get through this not damaged and broken? But now I know and understand that I wouldn't want to be normal or healed, cause I've become person that I always supposed to be, I helped many people and still trying to and I'm trying to inspire my friends and people at all to not give up and accept who they are even if this hurts and I reasure them that everything will be alright and at the end of the tunel awaits light and the future them that are waiting for them only to say You see? You made it and You should be proud of Yourself. And as Little James said about that his disability doesn't make anything easier, cause life will not make anything easier for us, life will make us tough and smarter, mature, to learn and teach others and help others and ourselfs. Little James supposed to be his own hero and support and prove that no matter what, disability or not we can make it and not let ourselfs to be broken, bitter, feel less worthy or less good enough, that we still can and supposed to work on ourselfs to be better to see strenght in ourselfs and on our disabilities and see the beauty in our brokeness, Jesus was right in what he said to Little James. You can be and do more in spite of your disabilities, in spite who You were earlier, on spite of your mistakes in the past, what matters is who You are now, who You can be and how much better person You can be and change others life and make others see that, that we all can be better in spite of our problems, pasts, what we experienced in life was only a lesson, a test, a beginning of becoming better selfs, to learn about life and ourselfs, what we can do and what kind of people we can be and we should treat it as precious and then let go of the past, let go of seeing ourselfs as less even though it's hard and almost impossible. We supposed to be the light for ourselfs and for the others that need it and are list as we once were as Jesus wanted Little James to understand this.

I loved this scene. I had the tears flowing by the end of it.

I am in tears, I have painful osteoarthritis for many years that has stopped me from enjoying marine sports and often asked God why I am not healed even though I prayed for forgiveness

The Bible says Jesus healed ALL who came to him more than once. That is not to say we don’t have suffering and tribulation, that is a certainty. There is nowhere in scripture where Jesus explains to anyone it would be better for the Kingdom if they kept their illness. That is a Catholic belief.

Thank you for your tears, God Bless both of you and your families ❤ ❤

They truly are Awesome Actors, but in this scene they are Fantastic & Tear Jeaking. God Bless

Always pray for. Those needing healing. Love .

Good video. This scene really hit me (I have a video on my channel explaining a little bit why). I cried when I first saw it.

Thank you for sharing these videos with us. What Bible Version are you quoting from? I love how it uses Messiah instead of Christ. I would like to get a Bible in this same version. God Bless you, your families and your ministry.

This scene hit me so hard and I watched it twice. So applicable to our life today as well.....LORD, help me put this to use in my life!

I am asmatic for all my life and i have asked my self que why me coz i coundnt do many things...watching this scene countless times loving the message that our Father has trusted me that much

This scene is really touching and this scene is really for me which I believe one day I will be healed through Jesus Christ. 🙏🙏🙏

Jesus healed every single person who CAME TO Him for healing, no exceptions. And Jesus is the exact representation of our Father (Hebrews 1:3)(John 14:9), who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8) . So I'm not sure why we base our theology on examples of people "not getting" healed, which is walking by sight. The only example we see of someone not receiving healing/deliverance in the Gospels is when the Disciples prayed for the demonized boy in Mark 9 but could not deliver him. Later Jesus came and delivered the boy. Was it God's will to heal/deliver the boy? Yes! But did it happen when the Disciples prayed? No. Healing is not a yes or no in Jesus. Let God be true and every man a liar. Isaiah 53 says "...Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains..." Paul's thorn in the flesh? That was persecution, not sickness. Thorn in the flesh was always used in the Old Testament to express people being persecuted or having other people come against them, not sickness or disease. (Numbers 33:55)(Judges 2:3)(Joshua 23:13). Paul knew the Old Testament writings very well, and he would have been familiar with the phrase "thorn in the flesh" and its intended meaning. The messenger of Satan that was "Paul's Thorn" was stirring up persecution against Paul. A messenger carries a message, and that messenger of Satan was whispering in the ears of those who hated Paul to stir up even more hatred against Paul. If you have been accused of lacking faith and were offended, it's time to forgive who said that and get into His word. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God! Read the Gospels and see how Jesus was willing to heal all who came to Him. Remember, walk by faith not by sight, do not believe what some say about Jesus' willingness to heal or not based on experiences, but rather taste and see who Jesus is in His Word! Sometimes there is mystery, and yes many have died despite having been prayed for (I have experienced this 3 times with close loved ones, including my youth pastor due to cancer), but we cannot afford to base our understanding of God's word on our experiences and disappointments, rather we must persist until God's Word begins to shape our experiences. Remember, He who said "I am willing, be clean" will say the same for you.

I would love to see the behind the scenes of this moment in S3E2. I can’t imagine it being shot without either of these two breaking down 😭and needing some time.

Word. Thanks for focusing on this teaching. I appreciate the authenticity, and your exercised, shared faith.

This is very personal for me. This comes only from a place of love. We can't go based on our feelings or experiences. This scene never happened in scripture. If in doubt please read Psalm 103:2-3 (He says not to forget all His benefits. Who forgives ALL our sin and heals ALL our diseases.) Isaiah 53:4-5, 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17, Mark 16:17...and so many other scriptures ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you from His word. He never once delayed, refused or made anyone earn their healing. It is literally the definition of salvation (sozo) it means saved, healed and delivered, protected, made whole. I WAS sick for yeeeeeeaaaars before I learned the truth. He said in John 8:31-32 ...you will KNOW the truth and the truth will set you free...He says in a couple verses later that the Son sets us free indeed. We cannot get free from a truth we don't know. Which why this is so crucial. Also Luke 11:13. He is a Good Father. Can't do justice here but my goodness please guard this in your heart and search the scripture for yourself. This scene and video contradicts the rest of scripture. Praying Eph 1:17-21 is so powerful to pray over ourselves and others. I know we try to explain circumstances and experiences and make sense of it but the word addresses this powerfully and GOD'S desire and will is always for healing. We dont even need sickness to take us to heaven. God says He wants to satisfy us with long life. He said the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us and WILL quicken our MORTAL bodies. We can say Lord if what I am believing isn't true please reveal in your word the WHOLE truth. Thank you Lord!! God bless you all!!

The absolute most inspiring relatable scene in this amazing series. This scene probably spoke to everyone who has seen it. Beautiful and haunting and exactly what I cling to when the cross gets heavy.

I’ve said it before, but I love how you guy don’t hold back your tears or edit it out.

I'm so interested to see what you guys have to say, especially after knowing some of Tom's testimony.

I don't agree with the clip from Chosen. To me the Bible is very clear that Jesus healed all who came to him for healing (countless scripture to prove this) and part of the Atonement was for our physical healing (1 Peter 2v24) - God is a loving father, He wouldn't use sickness to teach us any more than He would use sin.

Matthew is my favorite actor in the chosen. Amazing performance always

In the historical narrative didn't Jesus heal them all ? Does it say anywhere in the gospel accounts that Jesus said I will not heal you ? FOR ANY REASON ? Look in your Bible!! We are talking IN the gospel records! Where does it say that He chose NOT to heal everyone - in the gospel re cords ? If He did heal them ALL - why portray Him as onerous of character by doing the opposite . ? Help me scripturally to understand you .

Genesis 50:20 “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” 1 Peter 3:17 “For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.”

This episode in theaters WRECKED me! I have walked this journey and am still in it. I have had a mass and I have begged God for healing. I was on a mission's trip and saw people being healed when I prayed over them, but still lacking this healing myself. This episode just helped me realize that someday, I will be healed, but until then, I'm gonna trust and wait on my father!

Watching your reaction and tears made me realize I must have bitterness and resentment in my heart for my own suffering. My first reaction is Jesus is gaslighting little James, but thinking about ppl suffer greatly still joyful, mine really is not comparable. How to have gratitude and joy in any circumstance really takes a greater miracle.

myself and my sister have cystic fibrosis. this scene made me cry

So beautiful.

Wow wow wow! I’ve been reading that same book! Imagine Heaven is magnificent! God is good!

100 years in this world suffering will be nothing compared to the Life you will have with the Lord Jesus Christ for all eternity. Imagine 1000 yrs, 10,000, years, 100,000, 1,000,000 years with God and so on and so forth forever full of Joy and Happiness without pain and suffering. Worth the price you will pay in this finite world!!

Every episode, I cried, every episode
