The ABSOLUTE best Jesus portrayal I have ever seen! The Chosen is a must see for everybody.

I think the best part of the chosen is how he gives life to Jesus instead of keeping him ridged. He gives him humor and emotions not really seen before. Lovely!

[JosephDunegan]

There hasn't been one single episode that I haven't cried or shed tears from this wonderful series. Jonathan Roumie plays Jesus so well!

[badmother]

My husband and I were JUST talking about how we love that Roumie portrays Jesus as a cheeky, humorous and fun-to-be around dude instead of a goody-goody, solemn-faced saint that one couldn’t believe anyone would argue about whom He loved best.

The Chosen is so well done, the actors are so incredibly believable, and the look is amazing! I'm glad to see a man so humble who plays Jesus. Great job Jonathan!

[Lumencraft-]

Definitely the best Christian production ever made. The acting the scripting the filming everything is epic.


And like you said not just good for a Christian production, just actually good.

Jonathan, you are very humble but you genuinely reflect the heart and spirit of Jesus in a very tangible way! We all are flawed but redeemed and called to be like Him. You are doing that and deserve deep respect, which I have for you! Thank you so much for your heart and the price you’ve obviously paid to portray Jesus is such an anointed way! You are His called son for such a time as this! Blessings on you and great grace Jonathan! ❤️👏

I love the humanity Jonathan brings to Jesus. The Chosen has become my favorite show.

[mizzteresa]

Jonathan Roumie is brilliant in The Chosen!! Absolutely loving the show and praying for more seasons!! God bless y’all

It's so true for me, that no Actor(s) so far have depicted a believable Jesus, -until Jonathan Roumie🏆
Usually the Actors portraying Jesus, are a more disturbing distraction from the Story; & although Jonathan is good looking, I don't feel attracted to him bc I'm distracted listening to his WORDS😁.
Jonathan brings to Life the loving gentle Author of Holiness we feel coming from Jesus in the Bible🎁
Jonathan has captured the essence of what Our Ancestors said abt Jesus: they say He blended in with others, He didn't stand out as anyone extraordinary in any way, -except for when He Spoke the Words of God, then Ppl stood in awe of Him💞
All the Glory to God: Jonathan is thee perfect Actor for the Role of Jesus💞

Love this series, the writing, and the actors! Jonathan Roumie does a beautiful portrayal of Jesus and the other brilliant actors really bring Nicodemus, Mary, the Apostles, etc. to life.

[brandonmshrock]

I do really like the scents in the Chosen. They actually sound a lot closer to what they should sound like. And Jonathan's regular voice is also awesome

[kellyrobinson]

Thank you Jonathan! You've done a great portrayal of Jesus. God bless abundantly in Jesus name. Amen

[abiinalegwu]

Excellent actor! & How he plays Jesus, my God! Also the presence of the Holy Spirit on the scenes where he's ministering to Lilith or the Samaritan woman .. just beautiful.

[vmudxwn]

Always enjoy Jonathan’s take on what’s happening with The Chosen.

[Isaiah_John._ChangeUrLife]

The Chosen is SUCH a great show!!! I love it. God bless

[livinglight]

I sense a great integrity with Johnathon, in person and also playing the role of Jesus. He has a genuine dedication and devotion to Jesus as he does to The Chosen. God Bless.

[malasingh]

Best show ever …. Makes you see exactly what Jesus went through . Saw things from a different perspective and sometime felt like you are there with them . Keep it going Dallas !!
