This was a mixed episode for me. It had some great parts (don’t you want to party with Lazarus and Jesus? Can someone make some lemon mint bread for me, please?) and it had some dragging “why are we talking about this” parts. Once again, The Chosen does best what it does best: putting right in front of our eyes the lived realities of the implications of Jesus’ words (in this episode, Mt 5:41 ). In this episode of Joan’s Take on the Chosen, I talk about all of that, as well as give a little reflection on Matthew 20:1-16.

Scripture verses: Mt 5:41 , Mt 20:1-16, and Lk 10:38-42. I also reference Jn 6:6
