“In this world, bones will still break. Hearts will still break.” That’s a line from Season 2, but it’s especially true of Season 4, Episode Three. This one’s hard to watch, but we did it together and then talked it over afterwards.

— EPISODE THREE, “MOON TO BLOOD”: When Jesus heals a blind man on the Sabbath, religious leaders confront him, drawing a riotous crowd. Gaius defies a direct order leading Quintus to take matters—and someone’s life—into his own hands.

— A talk we had to have with JOEY VAHEDI (Thomas) and YASMINE AL-BUSTAMI (Ramah) about how this episode has affected them

— NEW GIFT inspired by one of the hardest-hitting moments in the episode

— YOUR PREVIEW of Episode 4, coming June 13th

As a mother who lost her 26-year-old daughter in 2022 to brain cancer, I have been deeply grateful for The Chosen for how you portray suffering. I have never felt more seen and heard. When Jesus says no is the hardest of roads to walk. But yet I was given no choice. Thank you to the writers of The Chosen for seeing me.

Peter giving comfort to Thomas shows growth in His understanding. He lost a baby and had to wrestle with the fact that Jesus didn’t prevent it. Now Peter comforts Thomas.

Can you imagine being blind and then having sight and the first thing you see is Jesus, and he smiles and says “I got you” !

I’m a 22 year old Christian, I’ve grown up in the church my whole life, my parents are leaders in the church. This show has definitely given me a different perspective on the gospel, and it’s given me more light and a way to reach out to many non-Christian’s and see the Jewish faith in itself in a different lens and thats a lot of thanks to you.

Cried on my walk tonight after the Chosen. Those prayers that are answered in "not now" or "not my will" are so painful, but God is faithful and His promises are true.

The Chosen needs to be on TV every day... From the Old to the New Testament!

My good friend and I saw this episode in theatres together. We both lost a very close mutual friend two years prior, very unexpectedly. I don’t think we both knew just how little we had healed from that trauma until this episode was watched. There were no words, just pure and unfiltered emotion that poured out of the both of us. We held hands and sobbed.

There was truth to what was said. It wasn’t my friend’s time, but it was God’s plan all along. As hard and impossible to feel like that was the truth, God gives and He takes away for a reason! Seeing Jesus say those words to Thomas was like finally getting the comfort my heart was so desperately searching for since her death.

I am so thankful for the Chosen not shying away from the harsh reality that is deep loss. This is God showing His love and comfort in areas of life that no other thing in this lifetime could come close to healing ❤️ From the very bottom of my now healing heart, thank you!!

I feel like this ended all wrong!😢 All this brought to my mind is the reassuring fact that Jesus never attended a funeral that he didn't raise someone from the dead. Wherever the Lord Jesus is, there is hope! 🙌

Love how Gaius refused to arrest Jesus no matter the cost ❤

[bettyjackson]

This makes the reality of christian persecution real, because our brothers and sisters are being killed for the Gospel in other countries 😢

In 1:06:15 Dallas said that "even in Gospel Jesus didn't heal or resurrect everyone". Well, there is no single situation in the Gospel where somebody who came to Jesus and asked for healing was rejected or told that "it's not your time yet". There are rather passages about healing everybody who were in place:
"A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill" Matthew 12, 15
"and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick" Matthew 8, 16
and few passages more.

This is a very delicate issue. I believe that Jesus wants all of us to be healed on body and soul. The key factor may be the time indeed. Look at the Gospel version of this episode's healing scene:

"After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go, ” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing."

The man was asked to "go" to the pool. So it took some time to receive healing. It wasn't immediate.
How long does it take to go to our pool after meeting Jesus?

However almost all other miracles of healing in Gospel were immediate.

Hoły Spirit I ask you to give us deeper understanding in such difficult and delicate issues.
Glory to God.

"One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see."

[elizabethobrien]

We need to trust The Lord and remember we are travelers on our way home. Thank you, The Lord is leading you.

I’m struggling right now.
My daughter in-law is slowly and painfully dying from brain and uterus cancer.
We all need prayers that she doesn’t suffer anymore.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This was my second time watching Episode 3. Once in the Theater where I sat motionless with tears streaming down my face when I saw this scene. Others watching were also motionless in a dark Theater. It was the shock of it all & the sorrow of losing Ramah in such a violent way after they were so excited to be wed. My heart 💔. I saw it again & I had the same reaction. Tears freely escaped my eyes & rolled down my cheeks. Even though I'd already seen this scene, it was still that impactful on me. I'm happy that we had an explanation this time around. I still say the writting for Season 4 is truly moving & I already have my hoodie "I'm Just Getting Started" my DVD of season 4 & so much more. I felt I needed the beautiful artwork of Jesus grabbing the hand...never going to let you go that I look at everyday. I needed that right now! My bestfriend's life was ended in a similar way except she was facing forward. I held her in my arms & she told me she was passing I reacted as Thomas did. She was 17. So this scene was a difficult one for me to say the least. I miss her everyday. She was like my sister & now she's my angel in heaven. Amen 🙏 🕊🕯💜🛐

I lost my daddy last year. He was only 51. I've struggled with it a lot. It's very traumatic watching someone you love slowly pass away when you put all your faith in a miracle happening. When Reyna said all she wanted was for Thomas to still follow Jesus, it really resonated with me because my mama told me she didn't want me to blame God. She didn't want me to leave Him or lose my relationship with Him. The last words my daddy said to me were, "Don't cry." Almost a year later, I was reading a Bible story to my son and it was the widow who's son had died and Jesus had come up to her and He said, "Don't cry", and then raised her son from the dead. Idk if I'm right about this, but I always felt like this was God speaking through my daddy. Also, Ramah is so beautiful! I think Thomas is going to have a very hard time when Jesus raises Lazarus. When Jesus was walking to them when Ramah was stabbed, I was saying, "Please, Jesus, save her!" It's so sad, but I feel like this scene is going to resonate with a lot of people who have lost loved ones.❤

My only daughter died on July 21, 2023. She had her 5th chemo tx and was dead in 48 hours. She is not suffering now. We prayed for healing and for her to be whole. She is wonderfully healed and whole. Her body could no longer sustain life, and in love and mercy He took her home. As far as Ramah, it is happening everyday since Ham came off the mountain. Young virgins and innocents are dying needlessly everyday. It happened over and over in his time and history. That is biblical too. If all the things Christ did were written, the earth and the heavens couldn't hold the books. The child on baal's alter was innocent. You handled that masterfully. If you know, you know. As a Mother that has lost her child, believe me, Ramah's fictional death makes sense.

I'm a physician and ask for HIS HELP every day!!

There is nothing "unfair" at the end of this episode. It would ONLY be so if this life were the only one we were to see. It is not. We will have an eternity together. All of us who have lost many in our lives, but we will see them again, thanks be to God.
