Over six years ago I made a little short film on my friend’s farm in Illinois. Entitled The Shepherd, it was about the birth of Christ from the perspective of the shepherds, and it was only intended for my church’s Christmas Eve service. It ultimately ended up launching The Chosen. A few years later, with many more resources, we did The Messengers, a special episode about the birth of Christ from the perspective of Mary and Joseph. This year I had an interesting idea…what if we combined the two?

I watched half a dozen sermons and read half a dozen commentaries trying to make sense of this moment in Scripture. I take seriously the burden of portraying these moments for you, and while I can't know for certain the meaning of everything Jesus said, I believe we're at least capturing his character. | Dallas Jenkins

I think I poured more time into this scene (Season One, episode 8) than any other scene in our first two seasons. In the Bible, it feels quite out of context, and the dialogue moves at a breakneck pace that skips a lot of emotional steps, so we had to find the emotional center of it while exploring the historical and culture context. Pop in some inspired casting, and you get this: | Dallas Jenkins

I remember when I was filming one of the scenes between Simon and his wife, I thought, "I've never seen a marital argument in a Jesus project... actually, I've never seen a marriage portrayed in a Jesus project." We get limited information about most of the people mentioned in Scripture. Scripture didn’t deem it important to cover every aspect of their lives. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t or can’t be portrayed. We know that Simon Peter had a wife, but nothing is said about her in Scriptur
