I was originally quite skeptical about this show, if they'd follow Scripture, the accents used, the budget to produce such a program with style and depth. After watching the first 16 episodes of The Chosen it was time for me to write and express my administration for this show. It grew on me after the first couple of episodes and now I'm pacing myself because it's not a show I'd recommend one binging. Watch an episode a day or every few days to let the imagery and dialogue settle into your mind and heart. Yes they've added much that is not Biblical BUT no where did the added scenes and dialogue contradict the Word of God.
This episode in particular is impressive. When Jesus prays over His disciples notice the closeness of the camera to imply that you and I are part of His circle. How sweet is that?
Every scene with Matthew are so good. He's a brilliant actor and his persona is everyone; shy, unsure, enquiring.
There are so many favourite episodes that brought me to tears. Andrew and Matthew's revelations in this episode alone are two scenes that brought me to tears.
