At this point, I don't see why I should really care about Zebedee's oil business. I enjoy the conflict between Tamar & Mary Magdalene, but their subplot needs higher stakes and more urgency. The scenes began to feel a bit repetitive. The opening montage felt a touch too long. ![]() Jairus finally convinces him that it's worth pursuing and that they need to dampen the revolutionary nature of Jesus' words in their report to Shmuel. Yussif's enthusiasm for Jesus has cooled a bit and his anxiety has grown, so he's initially wary of the trouble they could get in for talking this way about Jesus. We learn that Jairus has read Yussif's record of the Sermon on the Mount and other reports about Jesus and become convinced that he is the Messiah, even though it runs contrary to the popular conception of a military Messiah. Their conversation turns to an official request sent by Shmuel, under the authority of Shammai, a chief Pharisee, for a report about Jesus' teaching. He returns to the synagogue and reports what happened to Jairus and explains that his family in Jerusalem does construction and can cover the cost of the supplies. Yussif agrees to secure the materials as quickly as possible, since the cistern is the primary water supply for the city. The Roman arrive and explain that, even though it may be their responsibility to fix it, they'd rather have the synagogue bear the cost. Yussif, the Pharisee, is the first one on the scene when it's discovered that the water cistern outside of the synagogue has become polluted with sewage. While Episode 4 did have some faults, it was still another strong installment overall and it clearly set the stage for the second half of The Chosen Season 3. It also continues the trend of strong character development that we've been getting throughout the season. But whereas some of the "set up" episodes in The Chosen Season 2 felt haphazard and overloaded, Season 3 Episode 4 feels intentional and well-paced. As part 1 of a 2-part arc ( see here for Episode 5), it was almost inevitable that Episode 4 would function as set up. To use a baseball analogy, these episodes aren't meant to be home runs they're base hits that are meant to fill up the bases in preparation for a grand slam. In almost any show, there will be certain episodes that function as connective tissue and set up for what's happening next. Episode 4 may not be the most impressive installment of The Chosen Season 3, but it is still a testament to how much this season has improved on previous seasons. ![]()
