I love how Mary Magdalene just smiles with understanding.

[bethacaciakay]

I absolutely love how Jesus answers all three questions at once.
"You want me to join you?"
"Do you have any idea what this guy has done?"
Do you even know him?"

"Yes."

[RockSmithStudio]

A measly tax collector ends up writing one of the Books of Gospel. Imagine what Christ can do in our lives if we let him

[Angie-itfg]

This actor who plays Matthew is so good. Surprise, disbelief, hopefulness, joy ... all written on his expressions. Amazing actor.

[cjhasmyheart]

He chose Matthew, someone whose family had rejected him and all his fellow Jews considered a sinner beyond forgiveness, praise God He came save sinners such as him and Me!

[avabellashow]

It gave me chills when Matthew gave up everything so he can go with Jesus. He’s so amazing!

[kimmoore]

Jesus chose him RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SIN. He was literally caught with his hand out, taking money from the poor. Yet Jesus chose him. I absolutely love this scene.

[HouseBug]

It's like watching the Avengers way more important.

[alldoneup]

I got teary-eyed since this felt like my conversion story. When Jesus calls and you feel so unworthy but He calls you anyways because He knows you and loves you. God is so good!

[stormdancer]

I love how Mary knows. She's the only one grinning at Matthew's calling. She, too, was rejected by Jewish society. She understands more than any of the others.

[RangerCaptainA]

"do you have any idea what this guy has done?" said the church. Jesus said. "yes".

[pastorjimthomas]

Love it when Jesus says to Simon Peter, “You didn’t get it when I chose you either” and “Get used to ‘different’”

[davidhoryzon]

"Get used to different" - Yip...once you encounter the King, everything goes different!

[misspriss]

Wow. As beautiful as this scene is, I so recognize myself in Simon. Simon is no better than Matthew, yet he still considers himself able to sit in judgment. How often do we as Christians do the exact same thing? We are all sinners saved by grace; yet, we sit ready to condemn other people due to their pasts. After all, we never did what they did; our sin was "different". God forgive us.

[Susanne_]

I love how Jesus doesn't get angry with Simon for questioning his actions. I mean, this is Jesus. Almighty God. Yet, he humbles himself and just speaks the truth in love. How much we have to learn from our Master!

[RaySingh]

I LOVE that little smile that Mary gives! It's like she GETS IT! She's been redeemed too, she knows that feeling. She understands it.

[traytronic]

Paras Patel is so brilliant as Matthew and Jonathan Roumie is so brilliant as Jesus, the pair of them in this scene is just perfection 👌🏽

[reubenfromow]

That gave me chills
“Do you even know him?”
“Yes.”

[Kaylee]

I really love how Matthew is portrayed in The Chosen. This is by far one of my favorite scenes. ❤️

[AdderTude]

I love the newfound determination in Matthew's eyes. For once, he has been accepted, and the look he gives Gaius as he's leaving the tax booth shows that he's never been more sure in his life at leaving everything behind.
