About The Author

The Chosen WHY A TV SERIES ABOUT JESUS? We've been making movies for some of the biggest studios in Hollywood for 20 years. But a subject this important shouldn't be entrusted to Hollywood. It needs to be made by us. Isaiah 43:19 says, "Behold, I am doing a new thing..." The Chosen is a new thing. * How it was financed is new: We're the #1 highest crowd-funded media project of all time -- over $10 million from over 19,000 people. * The content is new: We're the first-ever multi-season show about the life of Christ. * The way to watch it is new: We're the first show to have our own app that connects directly to your streaming devices. No subscription needed. Just search "The Chosen" where you get apps and download to your phone. * How it's reaching the world is new: The show is free, but by "paying it forward," you help ensure people around the world can see it -- we're currently in every country. Welcome to a new thing!

  1. The Chosen gets some key things about Jesus wrong. The apostles were always part of a larger group of men. Jesus didn't choose Simon, Andrew, James and John, Judas and any of the other disciples whilst knowing which ones would end up as members of his inner circle. Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them. And why haven't we seen Matthias and Justus yet? They were with Jesus “beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us”.

  2. Sir The show is amazing yet just one request….. Jesus was just 30yrs old and very young as he began his ministry….mr Jonathan Roumie looks so fresh n young in his live videos but why does he look 40± in show video…..pls show him 30 yrs old even in the show ….
    My Savior gave his life at the best of his life……he was young and vibrant.

    I love the way mr Jonathan has played his role so intricately and perfectly…..yet his looks, if possible pls redo in season 3.

  3. Love the show, but I just wish you guys didn't show Jesus preparing or practicing for his "sermon preaching". Simply because prophets (foreseeing the future by God's Spirit) wrote of Him/His life/Ministry/Death/Burial/Resurrection/Ascension…) and not Him going around consciously checking off marks, fulfilling 300+ prophecies He fulfilled…He drew from what He learned as a Son of Man, no doubt, but He spoke out of the abundance of His heart, not consciousness of his devised and crafted thoughts from what I gather in the Bible

  4. Man, he really botched the words to that little song at the beginning. Here's how it really goes:

    "I'm standing here on the set of 'The Chosen'
    Many are cold, but few are frozen."
    (Beat boxes)

  5. Not sure the intent of Jesus walking through the curtain, (for the sermon on the Mt), if that scene had anything to do with the Vail ripping from top to bottom as Jesus died on the cross or if we are looking at the first Amway presentation. Can that idea be explained? thx!

  6. Israel was in the Near East and Jesus lived a lot of his life in Africa hiding so when was he white?
    Nimrod eldest son of Kush of Africa founded Babylon and Assyria. The region north down through Canaan down into Africa and the peninsula was all Ham per Genesis account.
    “Land of Nimrod" used as a synonym for Assyria or Mesopotamia, is mentioned in the Book of Micah 5:6:
    And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
    Genesis says that the "beginning of his kingdom" (reshit mamlakhto) were the towns of "Babel, Erech, Akkad and Calneh in the land of Shinar" (Mesopotamia) (Gen 10:10)—understood variously to imply that he either founded these cities, ruled over them, or both.

    Phoenicians

    The term "Phoenicians" appears in later centuries – first and foremost in early Greek literature. Homer, the ancient Greek poet (c. 1000 B.C.) is the earliest source mentioning "Phoenicians (Phoinikes – Phoiniké) from Tyre and Sidon" and telling of "Sidon which is in Phoenicia". Nevertheless, in epigraphic inscriptions from that part of the world where Phoenicia is supposed to have existed, no such name appears. The Bible refers to the inhabitants of this area as Tyrians and Sidonians, whereas in the Amarna letters we read of Sidon or Canaan, although the latter is used to denote a general term for the whole area. In Egyptian inscriptions, the names "Kharu" or "Retenu" are employed to designate the region of Phoenicia and Israel. It should be noted that in certain Egyptian texts from the 3rd millenium B. C., the name "Pnhu" appears which Seth finds similar to the Greek "Phoinikes", and he identifies it with the Phoenicians.
    It should be emphasised that in ancient Greek literature, including Homer, despite the use of the term Phoenicians, the term Sidonians is more generally employed. The interpretation of "Phoenicia" as identical with Canaan appears only in later periods (Stephen of Byzantium, Sanchoniathon) to be followed accordingly by the Church Fathers who identified Canaan with Phoenicia. Hecateustells us that "Phoenicia was formerly called Chna" (Canaan), However Philo Bybliusmentions in his Mythology "Chna who was afterwards called Phoinix". This informs us that the name Canaan was changed to Phoenicia. Yet today it is customary to see the terms Phoenicians, Sidonians, and Canaanites as a single identity, and therefore interchangeable; which has produced the tendency to designate as "Phoenicians" the inhabitants of the region even in periods prior to the appearance of this name in history. To cite Albright, "The word 'Canaanite' is historically, geographically, and culturally synonymous with 'Phoenicia'".

    Ham of Noah’s three sons along with Japheth and Shem. Ham himself has four sons, namely:  Cush (Ethiopia), Mizraim (Egypt), Put (Libya), and lastly, Canaan (Canaanites are believed to be the first people in Israel). The Bible stated that Ham and his sons, and their soon-to-be descendants lived and became the forefathers of the African continent and the Middle East.

    Table of Nations in the Book of Genesis 5:32.  The name Ham was first mentioned in the Bible as one of Noah’s three sons.
    * Genesis 9:18. Ham as the father of Canaan.
    * Psalms 105:23, 78:51, 1Ch 4:40. Egypt referred to as the land of Ham originated in Cush or a mix of at Ezekiel 29:13-15
    * Genesis 10:6. The four sons of Ham.
    * Ham was the son of Noah and the father of Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan. Ham's descendants are interpreted by “Flavius Josephus” and others as having populated Africa and adjoining parts of Asia.

    Mainstream scholars agree that Taharqa is the Biblical "Tirhakah", king of Ethiopia (Kush), who waged war against Sennacherib during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah (2 Kings 19:9; Isaiah 37:9).[44][31]
    The events in the biblical account are believed to have taken place in 701 BC, whereas Taharqa came to the throne some ten years later. If the title of king in the biblical text refers to his future royal title, he still may have been too young to be a military commander.[45]
    Aubin mentions that the biblical account in Genesis 10:6-7 (Table of Nations) lists Taharqa's predecessors, Shebitku and Shabako.[46] Concerning Taharqa's successor, the sack of Thebes was a momentous event that reverberated throughout the Ancient Near East. It is mentioned in the Book of Nahum chapter 3:8-10:

  7. Hello Dallas! Will you portray the Gospel scene, in the coming seasons, of the stoning of the woman caught in adultery whom Jesus saved by the words, “he who has no sin can cast the first stone”?
