#NowWatching #TheChosen S1E7 - "Invitations"

This is one of my absolute favorites. I absolutely love what the show has done with #Nicodeums' story arc, and their treatment of John 3:16 is the best I've ever seen -- for the ending if nothing else!

I'm on my sixth watch-through of seasons 1-3 (and it will eventually by my second viewing of Season 4).

#Jesus #John316

Memorable Quotes: (SO MANY memorable quotes in this episode!!)

Matthew: When you realize that nobody else in the world cares what happens to you, you think only about yourself.
Gaius: For a fool, your brain has taken you far.

Thaddeus: Rabbi?
Jesus: Yes, Thad?
Thaddeus: I should prepare firewood for how many days?
Jesus: Uh, five, I think.
John: (Looks confused) - I thought you said that we wouldn't be here very long."
Jesus: Leaving some for the next weary traveler. Hospitality isn't only for people who own homes, John.

Simon: I just don't want our burdens to become His, okay. I don't want to be the one to distract Him.
Eden: He's made up His mind about you. He's not going to kick you out of the group.

Nicodemus: What have You come here to show us?
Jesus: A kingdom.
Nicodemus: That is what our rulers are worried about.
Jesus: No, not that kind.
Nicodemus: Then, what?
Jesus: A sort of kingdom that a person cannot see unless he is born again.
Nicodemus: Born... again?
Jesus: Yes.

Nicodemus:

I told my wife and my students...
she was beyond human aid.
Only God could have healed her.
And then I saw her... healed.
And here You are... the Healer.

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!!!! 😭😭😭

Gaius: You have money.
Gaius: Quintus protects you.
Gaius: No Jew lives as good as you.
Gaius: You're gonna throw it all away?
...
Matthew: Yes.

...

Simon: I don't get it.
Jesus: You didn't get it when I chose you, either.

Jesus: Get used to different.
