My gosh! This is by far literally the best episode of the chosen thus far and the longest episode to date. But we will have much longer episodes in the future. Okay, anyways. This episode Was just a huge level up from the previous episodes of the first two seasons. This episode could perhaps be one of the greatest tv show episodes ever made. From the perfect interaction with the characters. And emotional weight that the scenes portray. This is when the series is starting to feel like there are higher stakes involved and the people in the story must do whatever it takes to survive. The best scene in this episode by far is definitely the scene with little James and Jesus. Wow. That scene got me right in the feels. And in my opinion by far the most emotional scene in series so far. And probably one of the most emotional scene in the history of television.

Wow! The scriptures brought to life.

When I study the Gospels, I often think of how completely clueless these Aposltes seem. It's like, "Why don't these guys get it?" This episode clearly shows what Jesus asks of them (and us) and how far from what they considered the norm his message was. Of course they didn't get until later.
The scene with Jesus sending them out in their own is right out of scripture. Go two by two. Don't bring extra food, money, clothes. Rely on the people you meet in the towns you visit.
It wasn't until that scene with the questions they asked, the fear they expressed, the concern about their shortcomings, and their internal struggles with the challenge of Jesus' assignment that I saw how far from the norm Jesus' challenge is to these ordinary men.
The writers capture what those conversations could have been like if you spent time studying them and visualizing how they could have happened.
The Little James conversation with Jesus answered questions I think we all have. I know I have asked, "Why don't you heal me, free me from this suffering, prevent some evil from ever happening? Jesus was talking to LJ, but he was so clearly talking to me and anyone watching the episode. His loving and caring for LJ had me in tears and I'm a tough guy who doesn't she's them easily.
It's extremely well written, touching on the emotions to And illustrates how it could have happened when Jesus walked with us.
This is hands down the best episode of The Chose for me followed by Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well.
I went to bed only because it was midnight on a week night otherwise I would have bindged a few more episodes.

the dialogues
Kirpianuscus24 March 2023
The dialogue between Matthew and his parents.
The dialogue of the Savior before the beginning of apostleship.
The dialogue between Ramah and Thomas.
And, sure, the heart of episode, the talk of Jesus with little James.
Each of them as expressions of love and good heal of old wombs.
But the last... .
The last of them has as partner the viewer himself. This explains why it is heartbreaking, moving and just magnificent. Because little James, with his frustration, desire, doubts is us. And this dialogue is fundamental to feel, more than understand the message of series. Sure, many familiar scenes , powerful and inspired solutions but the emotion who you feel in this model of pure pray is just unique.
So, dialogues. One of them , profound special.

Sent to preach the good news of God's coming Kingdom

I've been an avid Bible student since I was 21 years old. Prior to that I lived my life without caring what my Creator thought about my choices. My Bible study has only increased in the over the 40 years since I first started reading the Gospel accounts.
I know the Bible very well and am thoroughly enjoying The Chosen series. Naturally, since I am so familiar with the Bible account, I have some opinions about this series. I believe it is important to point out that less than 10% of each episode of The Chosen is actually from the Bible accounts. Ninety percent of these episodes are embellishments; the producer's ideas of how the Bible characters may have spoken, looked and acted, beyond what is written in the Bible. I have no problem with those embellishments. As a matter of fact, I appreciate and enjoy much of the non-biblical inventions by the writers of this series.
I would like to speak about the good and the not so good embellishments created by the writers of this series. I hope you will not be offended by my critique.
Season 3, Episode 2 - The 12 Apostles sent by two. Jesus send the twelve Apostles out to heal and preach the good news of the coming Kingdom of God "on Earth as it is in Heaven". The rest of the scenes in this episode are fabricated by the writers but most of them allow the audience to draw closer to the Apostles as normal human beings like you and I. Quintus, Gaius, Atticus and the shanty town are all fabricated embellishments, as is the broken sewer. Ramah and her relationship with Thomas is also made up, as are all the scenes between Simon Peter and Eden. Lastly, there is nothing about "little" James being lame. He was called the "lesser" likely due to his height. So, other than the recurring issues I stated in previous episodes; the names of Christ and his Father as well as the dress and grooming, this was an interesting, even if not Biblical, episode.
Biblical content in this episode; 5%. Luke 9:1-6.
