My son is 20yrs old. He has lived in the autism spectrum for 15yrs. Matthew is the first person my son has ever connected with. I can witness to my son through Matthew's story. He asked me why I came to Christ. I said watch Matthew's eyes when Jesus turns & looks at him. Jesus gets me. The line "Get used to different" was a breakthrough for my son. My son is asking important questions on Faith, Healing, Belief. I go to scripture & we pray. Oh by the way, his theme song is "Trouble". Thank you Chosen

Dear Myra Arquitt, I understand a little bit of what you are saying I myself am an Asperger savont, I also come from a strict orthodox Jewish family and have only been a believer in Ye-hua for 4 years, I will make sure that I look for you and your family at the resurrection when Ye-hua returns to set up the Eternal Kingdom of Ha-shem... 🕎🌎🌍🌏✝️

This is wonderful and amazing thank you for sharing this. I'm a caretaker and I've worked with people with autism and absolutely loved it. God really works in mysterious ways and when people see that what an amazing transformation it has on the individual and people around them. God bless you both 🙏🏼 💯🙏🏼

Do we know that he was autistic for sure?

My favorite sequence with Matthew is with the kids on the roof. How they invite him up, he rejects their offer of grapes (heard the offer/refusal was ad libbed), then he reaches for the grapes while completely engrossed in the healing, and the final " Are you lost?" "Yes, I am" followed by his longing gaze at Jesus. Just beautiful.

It’s so subtle. The kids were told in an earlier scene by Jesus to be kind to one another because it is bigger than what their trade will be. It will be there bigger job in life. They may have been aware he was a tax collector by his clothes or how others were treating him in the crowd. Yet their simple act of faith in what Jesus said to treat others kindly showed a child’s faith succeeded where an adult’s failed. Hence the verse “if you want to get into Heaven, you need faith like a child.” The subtlety of this show is amazing. Maybe this message was not their intent, if not; then it was Holy Spirit since it is obvious he is behind this show. I feel it every time I watch it: in the performance, the landscapes, the details.

​@@thegamerwoman5320 except real christians, they were formerly sinners but turn from it, which is why Jesus came. Not to make sin okay, i.e. stay in darkness, but for the light to shine the light on the darkness and expose the sin, that one might be broken about their sin and selfishness and turn from following the devil and instead start following the light who is Jesus. Jesus said in the gospel of John: "Go and sin no more" and "now stop sinning else a worse thing happen to you" and "the world cannot hate you but it hates me because I testify that its ways are evil". 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

Wow, this video made me realise the truth about how much Matthew gave up to follow Jesus! I have watched The Chosen but, for some reason, watching this video made me understand a little bit more about this real life character who chose to become a disciple of Jesus and who eventually wrote the gospel which has changed the lives of so many people around the world! He couldn't have made such an impact so great, if he remained who he was then. This shows how much of an impact we can make in the world today if we choose to leave the temporary things that give us pleasure in this world, and follow Jesus the Eternal King!

This is my favorite scene. Cause I experienced the same thing. Being hated by everyone, being abused, used and people keep bringing up the wrong thing I did in the past and Jesus calls me and still accepted me even what other think about me. That is love. Jesus choose me and call me to follow Him no matter what I am in the eyes of other but Jesus see me beyond others can see.

Also my favorite. It's amazing how God uses the broken people and turns them into vessels of purpose like me. I still struggle but I know Jesus is renewing me everyday. Thank u Heavenly FATHER for your grace and redemption.

The Chosens Matthew I identify and love his character....Jesus saw the best in him when man has seen the worst in him and Jesus chose him

The character of Matthew touches my heart so deeply.

What a fabulous compilation! Matthew's story is one of my favorites (Nicodemus is the other)! His journey is so moving! I really felt for him and I applaud the actor's skill as well as the writers and directors for their work in bringing this character to life. Before this series we had heard nothing about Matthew save that he wrote the Book of Matthew in the Bible and that he was a tax collector whom Jesus called to follow him.

We really really love Mathew don’t we

The character Matthew plays is that no matter what you have ..you are still nothing and empty without the LORD......it all shows when he says to his escort boldly ...LET ME GO......😭😭😭.....

I love how he gets a fright and steps back when Jesus turns around and calls his name. He is so shocked 😲 😄

Bless you for bringing Jesus's to the world in a time most have forsaken the MASTER .

I love this. Paras is just awesome as Matthew.

Gaius doesn’t have a crush on Matthew. He sees him as a son. Knowing that he is not well received by his parents he also has admiration and respect for Matthews intellect. He makes Matthew a great mentor to reduce the anguish Matthew has because of his parents disdain for his position. Both are great characters in the story line. Beloved, Thanks so much!!

I found this wonderful to watch, so much, for the youth group we played this on a big screen, with the song " Turn your eyes upon Je-us " in the background... Blessings to all my family ( brothers and sisters) throughout the world, I will see you all soon...🕎🌎🌍🌏✝️

Brilliant editing. Thank you for this. After that of Jesus by Jonathan Roumie, Matthew’s portrayal by Paras Patel has moved me beyond words.

Matthew is a inspiring Jesus Disciples ,He surrendered everything,like his career and riches in this world just to follow Jesus

Incredible! Has Paras seen this? Has anyone posted it to the fan group? I better get this shared around pronto! Thank you so much, and very well done!

One of my favorite scenes is the one between Matthew and his mother. This was a very emotional scene, as a mother my heart broke for them both. I don’t think that scene gets enough recognition or credit❤️🙏 Love Matthew....

That Jesus knew the true heart of Matthew speaks volumes about the true nature of the Christ. 🕊

As a mom to an amazing autistic son...the idea that Matthew may have been on the spectrum makes me cry! Thank you sooo much for this 😭❤️

This is why The Chosen is so good .Paras Patel represents Autism very well .As a lover of Jesus and an Autist , the idea of one of the Apostles being at least a bit like me , called specifically for the person he is and not despite who he is ... it matters a lot to me .Not only being seen as a Human and person worthy of respect but even chosen , loved and desired by God as I am . Although Biblically , culturally and Historically , I identify farm more with James and John .

I love Matthew ❤. He has struggled so hard with the self. His insight and belief in Jesus brings me to tears.

Why am I crying?

Matthew is the coolest

Matthew KNEW something was "Different", because there was "Impossible Math" at work... He needed to "Get Use To Different"... And when Jesus called him, Matthew HAD to go with Him!!! Psalm 51:17 - The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Mesmerizing

What a magnificent actor.
