The Chosen

 First episode made me cry, surprise surprise.  This episode shines a light on: - Matthew, the tax collector. People hated him - Nicodemus, the teacher and pharisee. He is the head rabbi that  -Quintus, the roman - Simon peter, who was fighting his brothers in law -Andrew, simon's brother -Lilith, the demon possessed woman -Eden, Simon's wife Here, the lord calls out Lilith by her name and says the verse that was a theme throughout her life “Thus says the Lord who created you And He who formed you Fear not, for I have redeemed you I have called you by name … You are mine. ” Then Lilith is healed.  Also, Simon and his brother Andrew can't pay their taxes so they claim that they made an arrangement with Quintus. Which was Simon agreeing to turn in merchants to him (betrayal to his people).
