How Well Did John The Baptist Know Jesus (Bible Roundtable)

Jesus and John the Baptist. You no doubt agree with us they were cousins, they loved each other, and that after Jesus, John the Baptist was the greatest; in fact, as Jesus said, “no one greater.” But did they ever argue? Did they even know each other all that well?

Our bible consultants actually agreed with each other on the answers to these questions raised after Season 2 Episode Five. And what does our Jewish rabbi have to say about how Jews debate?

Meanwhile, check out Matthew 3 and let us know what you think of our portrayal of “Creepy John” in the comments.

I didn’t watch this show for two years, had a lot of preconceived notions about it. Then about a month ago I finally pray about it and started watching The Chosen that night.
To the glory of Jesus the Messiah, it is a blessing to feel (even in a small way) that we went on the journey with Christ.
Probably been said a million times before, but just seeing our Lord make His own tent/camp was such a humbling and happy experience.

Love you all sisters and brothers in Christ.

As a Catholic and a one time Evangelical and return to Catholicism, I’m so full of joy to know Bishop Barron participates in “ round table “ 🙏🏽✝️

[dawnflasch]

Every roundtable discussion is filled with Biblical knowledge from multiple sides. Just love hearing all the perspectives! Bring on the S2 Special Edition DVD!

[pegstanton]

I love how you showed Jesus & John as how I would think cousins would respond to each other with both knowing the truth. I hope to see a little more in season 3. I loved the little bit of kidding about their different way of mission.

These roundtable discussions are so rich! They really delve into the nuances of your (may I say) masterful character development. Love John’s poignant acknowledgement to Jesus after all the banter: “My heart is Yours. My life is Yours.” Amen, Lord Jesus! Can’t wait for your release of the full discussions for Season 2.

Please continue to tell the story of the Bible from your point of view. There’s no reason to apologize for speaking the truth. Thank you for all your hard work and amazing vision of telling the story of the Bible in a way that makes sense. God bless you all. 🙏🏽

I love these. It's like a breath of fresh air when you can see three different yet similar groups of religious members talking about God and Jesus without any hostility towards one another.

[marklewis]

Thank you for bringing these discussions back! I missed them after season 1. Getting Bishop Baron on was a great coup. I am amazed how many of my companions are watching this. All God’s blessings!

[barbaralaken]

David Amito did a phenomenal job in this episode. Loved the discussion between these cousins. I never thought about it in this way but very feasible they communicated together. We’ll done The Chosen!

[joyannfaith]

Love these roundtable discussions. So excited to see these conversations back again. All Glory and Honour to God

[Ryanjoned]

God will make a way for you when there seems to be no way God has gone b4 you and made a way just trust God he is a friend that sticks closer than a brother when everyone else lets you down Jesus is right by your side hallelujah

[rmuller]

More round table discussions please, as we patiently await season 3. Love these so much. Jesus is joining all Christians together as one through His Holy Grace. Christians are stronger together no matter what denomination. Blessings to you all!

[tmrossi]

Our Bible study group just spoke about how John & Jesus grew up together - considering Mary & Elizabeth's relation!! Pretty amazing all the possibilities to consider - you fine folks always include different perspectives which is awesome!! Thank you for your work!! God bless ❤️

From season 2 Jesus with John the Baptist- cousins, is powerful. Especially when Jesus says good-bye and knows what will happen to John.

[UrbanNoizeMusic]

I seriously have to ask the question, what kind of reality to some people think Jesus was living in? Do they assume that he was divorced from the human experience, and that every little thing offended him? Do they not realize that even Jesus had to address pharisees in ways that would be considered rude? But with context fully understood? Are people not opening their eyes to the fact that Jesus and John most likely bantered because they were related? Thank you so much for the roundtable discussion. Because they allow us to see things even more clearer

[michaelivesinallus]

This is the best way to learn what could have happened in the lives in the Bible. None of us were there so we need an open forum of all possibilities to be presented with respect. I thought the scene with John The Baptist and Jesus was very plausible. I thought it was a great discussion with John and Jesus.

Anyone who doesn't like Crazy John is... crazy.

[charsmith]

I am such a fan of The Chosen and I love all the additional videos! Thank you Dallas and the whole crew, cast, writers!

[insightstar]

It's called passion within that is a level of intimacy and honesty!
My origin is Greek, and that is the environment I grew up in.

I kept seeing posts about The Chosen. I saw the footage of the miracle of the miracle creation of the production of The fish. Interesting. I don't recall the moment nor the date I ventured into the series BUT I was truly blessed because I was able to watch season 1 on youtube and then season 2 on the app. So I binged both seasons uninterrupted! Now, I wait for season 3, and continue visiting season 1 and 2. .. and all the Facebook posts I can.
What this has done for me is to peel back the minutia of religious dogma to relve in the core of Jesus's purpose for humanity.

Love love love listening to these conversations!! Thank you..
