And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. You received without paying give without pay. And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother Philip and Bartholomew Thomas and Matthew the tax collector James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. But instead of getting these concerns explained to us, we see them dramatically depicted in a way that will stick even more powerfully than an explanation would.Īnd he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. Any good expository sermon on the original passage would have to explain how Jesus' teaching is responding to exactly the kinds of questions and concerns that we see the disciples expressing in the scene. I'm sure some people will complain that it's adding to Scripture, but from my perspective the scene is an excellent example of the benefit of a show like The Chosen. The show does a good job of taking what is presented in Scripture as a long monologue by Jesus and transforming it into a dialogue, in which the disciples interrupt Jesus to ask questions and express concerns and much of Jesus' teaching is given in response to these questions and concerns. What was Atticus Aemilius' original mission? Since he began tracking Simon Z and the disciples, what has he witnessed? How do you think he will respond?Įpisode 2 of The Chosen Season 3 has one of the longest scenes based on Scripture in the show so far (falling just behind the Sermon on the Mount scene in the previous episode). What have we learned about the Zealots so far? How do you think they will react when they realize that Simon Z has abandoned his mission? What was the relationship between Matthew and Gaius like before Matthew met Jesus? How did Gaius react when Matthew left? How do you think Gaius will respond now that he's listened to Jesus' teaching? What was the relationship between Matthew and his family like before he met Jesus? What happened at the end of Season 3 Episode 1? What do you think led Matthew's father to call him son again?

What did we learn about Ramah's father at the beginning of Season 2 of The Chosen? How have we seen the relationship between Ramah and Thomas develop over the course of the show?

What do you remember about the home life of Simon Peter and his wife, Eden, in Season 1 of The Chosen? How has life changed for them since Jesus appeared? How has Simon changed?
