Can you imagine how Jesus must have felt, when many would approach him to perform certain miracles. God didn't put Jesus on this earth to please everyone and grant them their wishes and wants. Far from that. As The Chosen depicted that Jesus didn't come to bring peace, but to save us, which would tear families, friends, unions, and anyone who chooses to follow him. To this day even. But even in this storyline shows that this may have happened in some way, that tore Jesus apart internally. OMG, the emotions of Thomas and Jesus here, absolutely brought me to tears. I know it took away from the plot of Jesus and the Pharisees, but for me, that last scene, hit me as I feel I went thru such a devastating loss with my own love, and I couldn't understand it as we were faithful catholics or at least I thought.

Brilliant, concise explanation of what this Episode, and what this Series is about. Yes, it is fictionalized - not a docudrama. I have no criticisms because a writer gets to take fiction in any direction they choose. The viewing audience is not crafting this storyline. Lives are being touched, conversations are being had, understanding is being enlightened, and people are turning to the pages of the Bible to read what is actually documented. The various criticisms pale in comparison to the good. We don't find Ramah on the pages of scripture, and we no longer have her in this Series, but her story tied in wonderfully well with the theme of this Episode: prayers are not always immediately answered in the way we hope, and the blind see when those with sight are blind.

Ramah’s death was so controversial because of how it was executed. What got me wondering all night was why would Thomas drag her RIGHT PAST Quintus, an angry Roman with his sword out, with everyone knowing dang well that they were known followers/students of Jesus?😭😭😭 I also heard others complaining about how Jesus reacted to her death. How he just stood there. Even though she had to die, he could’ve went over there to close her eyes and properly send her off to Heaven, comforting Thomas who’d just lost the love of his life. Nevertheless, I have to remind myself that this never actually happened because Ramah isn’t in the Bible and was a creative choice, which relieves me

The way Jonathan Roumie portrays the foreshadowing of Ramah's fate was incredible. You see in the scenes beforehand, that he (as Jesus) is somewhat reluctant to get excited about their union (Thomas & Ramah). What I didn't like about the final scene is that it seems that it's actually on Jesus, because he brought the crowd together and stirred them up with his message. It actually gave me a little bit of 'GoT' vibes, with the shock effect of the death. And yes, it distracted from the main message Jesus was preaching. Perhaps one could put the following spin on Ramah's fate: Thomas seemed more devoted to her than to Jesus and His mission. Not that God is vindictive, but as one of the 12, Thomas knew what he was signing up for. (To take the Gospel to the ends of the earth). And perhaps Ramah would have 'stood in the way' of that. It certainly starts a discussion around that...and God's perfect will for each and every one of us.

If you live, you will lose someone you love to death. And sometimes it will seem cruel and unfair to us on this side of eternity.

The issue here is the games being played with Jesus' CHARACTER. I'll repaste the comment I made elsewhere here: Even as a Catholic, I've always defended the Chosen for their creative liberties from the attacks of others, some of whom are Catholic, but I cannot defend this episode. Nope! This was incredibly in bad taste, not because Rama died but the way these people seem to just casually project their own very flawed character traits onto Christ. I can defend Jesus choosing not to heal Rama (perhaps), but I cannot defend him standing there watching her die from a distance and not even giving her a single word of comfort as she died, not kneeling over her, closing her eyes, praying for her as she transitioned to the other world, assuring her that he would make all things well and this was not the end, and kissing her forehead as she died. He. Was. Her. Rabbi!!!!!!! If he had prayed then opened his eyes after getting the "Not this time" from his Father, then comforted her this way, it'd be sad but still in keeping with his character. But the way they did it feels like a Hollywood gimmick for shock value. Heck, even our flawed, sinful priests know how to comfort a dying person better than the Chosen's Jesus did in this episode! Did Jesus behave like Rama's spiritual Father or even her Rabbi in this episode? Nope. Think of Aragon comforting Boromir as he died after sacrificing his life to save the hobbits at the end of the Fellowship of the Rings. That's how a good and holy person treats a dying person. They don't stand at a distance and watch them go as if they're a stranger watching the scene of an accident by the side of the road. The Chosen had Our beloved beautiful Lord behaving like the Priest and pharisee he warned about in his parable of the Good Samaritan instead of like the Good Samaritan, and this with his own dying disciple! Not even a stranger beaten by thieves on the road. Honestly, shame on them! They injected their own character flaws onto Jesus in this episode and had him acting in a way contrary to how the Bible and even their own show has portrayed him. Rama was his disciple! She left her own Father and everything to follow him and he became her spiritual Father, killed basically for him in this episode, and yet he reacts worse than even a basic friend would react. I'm not angry about her death. I'm angry about the gimmicky nonsense they seem to be getting up to with Jesus' character. What Priest did they consult for this episode? They claim they consult theologians, pastors, and priests. All I can say is if the Priest okayed this episode, knowing the work priests regularly do with the dying in hospitals and other places, shame on him, too! Someone elsewhere said, given we've already done this before with Little James and Peter's baby, what was the point? It's like they saw it worked before and just can't be creative? Another comment under another video suggested they could've had Reyma married off by her Father to another, richer man. She would not have returned to Capernaum but sent a letter to an eager, hopeful Thomas telling him she had seen her Father's wisdom and chosen to go with it and allow Thomas to follow Jesus and hoped he would understand. Jesus would've accepted this and not agreed with Thomas about "doing something." Then this would've been about Thomas's broken heart and Jesus loving him back to Spiritual health instead of Jesus being portrayed like a bad shepherd.

When Jesus constantly comments about SOON!!! Its ridiculous because Jesus would not do that - BUT DALLAS WOULD. P.s. in episode 4 Jesus jokes TWICE AGAIN about this stupid idea of SOON!!! Im sick of it. This isn't remotely something that any of them would joke about. The joke about SOON needs 2000 years become a joke. I hate this constant injection of Dallas humor. Dallas seems to be so focused on making Jesus HUMAN and relatable that he is short-sighting His DIVINE nature. He is bringing Jesus down to BUDDY status. Dallas is also keeping all Jesus's discussions to a minimum. I constantly feel like I'm holding my breath because he is never allowed to let it rip. He just got started into the confrontation of the Pharisees and even Jesus said I AM JUST GETTING STARTED- but immediately he was cut off. Jesus spoke SEVEN WOES to the pharisees and in this discussion he used 2. I was so disappointed by it. It just feels that Jesus is being muzzled.

I guess that's why Thomas says, "Let us go to Jerusalem and die with Him." He either feels like he doesn't have anything to live for without Ramah or he figures he'll see her again in Heaven, or both.

I was okay with it even if the execution was not how I would have done it. We sometimes forget that Jesus himself only did what the Father and Holy Spirit directed him to do. Regarding this story Jesus sadly tells Thomas that "It is not her time." As Believers, we experience tragedies, griefs and loss daily but we don't see things from God's vantage point and we don't understand why we have to sometimes go through these terrible things. Thankfully, we know that God in the long run brings good out of bad situations and He knows first hand what loss is,

That was awful, he took an unmarried woman and didn't protect her. I noticed Dallas did it without his mother Mary there. It would have been even worse. Jesus wouldn't let her in his care die like that because of an accident but have a friend rise days after he died. So weird.

If, or when God gives you what you want /desires, it's call GRACE. If God doesn't, remember, He is PROTECTING, PRESERVING AND SAVING You.

It was kind of a heartless interpretation. They have portrayed Jesus as crushed when something happens to loved ones, but one of his key disciples dying? And the fiancé of an apostle he supposedly just offered to give away? Not even shedding a tear? Ouch.

My belief is - By His Stripe we are healed - not just some of us according to His Will He did not agree to give the Children’s bread to the dogs yet because of her faith He healed her daughter - that gives hope to all . I would hope this scene would be omitted as it could be confusing Thanks

I like to think I'm fair in my critiques of the episodes (for the record I LOVE The Chosen, in whole). Episode one of this season was too disjointed for ME. This episode, like most people, took my breath away. I've had a day to think about it. For me this was important for me to see. We know how much Jesus loved Rama, yet He wouldn't resurrect her. Imagine if He would have. I would think every time someone I loved died---or when my time comes---"Well, I guess you have to be one of His favorites to be spared." To me this was truth. Reality. Real life. So few were resurrected in Scripture. Many healed of blindness, lameness and more, but few resurrected. It was hard to watch. I would have been like Thomas---I know You can do this!!!---yet accepting that God's ways are not ours is hard. And Jesus was obviously grieved. He didn't say "She's in a better place" in a flippant manner. One part I didn't understand, though. When Thomas was pleading for her, Jesus said it wasn't her time yet. Hmmm...then where exactly was she? Paradise like the thief on the cross?

I didn't like it because something that profound should have been in the Bible, makeup other things but not that Jesus didn't cure an apostles fiance. He granted favors to thousands, we will see examples of many who suffer, why that when no reference at all to the Bible? Dallas said in real life this happens all the time, it does, but we are talking about what Jesus did in the Bible and poetic license is fine but this much?

I'm Catholic and I love how priests on youtube and in print love the show even though our belief in Mary is slightly different. This I feel will make some balk and it makes me sad. I felt I was watching a Bible lifetime movie.

The big thing to take away is Jesus is hurting too. Just like when we have pain, He sees our pain, he feels our pain and He has endured our pain. But our Father sees the big picture. We don't hardly ever understand it but He knows the plan that will forever be right for all of us. This is where Thomas will need to have his faith and trust in Jesus.

I believe he wanted to see how far our faith goes although we go through our pain.

Dallas could have done things after Jesus dies but not with him. Don't put words in Christ's mouth that are wrong.

David sinned, yes. David was punished for his sin, yes. HE PRAYED/BEGGED FOR FORGIVENESS, but was denied. There are consequences for actions, however, GOD DOES AS HE PLEASES. We don't know why Jesus didn't resurrect innocent Ramah, same as we don't know why God took David's son, regardless of his repentance. I saw that in the David/Ramah parallel. I didn't like it because it goes away majorly from scripture, but it was a powerful message. I love how "doubting Thomas" is being set up, and that it has something to do with death/resurrection.

Only thing that bothered me with the show. I am Catholic and will see what a priest review will say (many of them online) but I don't think we needed to see Jesus doesn't always heal, we know that but in his time on earth, he wouldn't deny. Peter MIL was cured, the baby never existed although some say he had a daughter later, James wasn't lame that we know but that was a good lesson. But to make up a fiance to kill her off? IDK, left me much less emotional because I saw it coming. It's about Jesus and they were spending a long time on Thomas and her and the gift and seeing her with chaperones and "looks" and asking a disturbed looking Jesus to stand up for them. All for a accidental stabbing? Only time I felt the show went for the typical, lure them in and then wham!. Being older than most, I've just seen it so many times, I felt it coming.

Personally...I think it took a lot away from the story of the healing of the "man who was born blind"...which is IN SCRIPTURE!!!!! In fact, every single person I spoke to could only talk about Ramah's death in this episode!!!!! How it affected them... AND how it affected their feelings about the show itself. I also had some relatives who are BIG fans of the series; THE CHOSEN! They sat through this scene in a movie theater...and they said after the show was over there was an eerie quiet when the credits were done...it was like there was NO one else sitting in the theater at all. Everyone seemed to be in shock. So I knew LOOOOOONG before the series was released that Ramah was going to die. So, I want to know one thing... ...was DALLAS trying to shock the audience on purpose???? To get some "word of mouth" comments online. I do know this one thing: for the longest time (when Season 4 was delayed)...the only thing they any one ever talked about was Ramah's death...so I KNEW that was on the horizon...BEFORE I even saw the release of Season 4 online!!!!!

Great episode, great actors

I agree that while it is a tragedy to die so young and in a horrific manner, we believe that the next life in heaven is where we all desire to be. It will take time for Thomas to grieve and move on (in this “story”). The only scripture that comes to mind to compare this event besides David and Bathsheba may be Job losing his entire family and after mourning his loss returns to God for reconciliation. Peace of Christ be with you all

I'm a fan of The Chosen and it has been really engaging to watch. In this episode, regarding the death of Rimah, I understand Dallas's explanations that the event is meant to help understand the concept of suffering. However, I think the albeit fictitious event was too jarring and also has a number of logical inconsistencies. For instance, a) Jesus heals the blind person a little while earlier but here he appears unwilling or unable to heal Rimah?. Both these options are not consistent with the divine nature of Jesus. b) Jesus loved Thomas and Rimah and it would be uncharacteristic for him not to heal Rimah since he healed many unknown people. c) Jesus often says that one is healed by the faith they show for example, the Centurion's servant and Woman with bleeding. However, here, Thomas does not express any doubt about Jesus's ability (that he has come to be known for) when he implores Jesus to heal Rimah clearly indicating that he believed Jesus was able to do so. d) The strange words of Jesus to Thomas " It was not her time" (which Dallas explained as not being her time for resurrection), were totally off-the- mark, since Jesus raised the dead only to deepen the faith of people and for them understand His divinity, and not whether it was their time for resurrection or not. e) the albeit fictitious event would have put Jesus in a very poor light amongst his disciples and the people following him possibly to extent of ruining his mission since such an event would completely undermine the faith of the disciples in Jesus and in themselves when Jesus sends them out to spread the message and heal in his name. f) I don't think it was necessary to introduce Rimah's death to avoid Thomas from getting married to her since other disciples were also married, or that marriage would come in the way of Thomas's discipleship responsibilities. There were other more plausible ways to remove Rimah. While you explained at length that this is TV serial and you may add conversations and events. That's accepted, but it was not expected that they would add a fictitious event that in fact erodes the divinity and power of Jesus and His mission as indicated in the gospels. Regarding the screenplay of the event, it seemed quite implausible that Thomas should walk right in front of Dominus who has his sword drawn. However, need to commend the exceptional acting skills by the actors Thomas and Rimah and Jesus.

It was very emotional for sure

Earthly life, is what it is. Everyone has a time, a season, a plan for the illusion of time here. But Heavenly eternity in Love and paradisical life is provided when we go home. I do not see the problem as it is only a move through change. Having lost and experiencing the grief of separation, I still know where my home is, and this place is not it. The Creator has a plan for every single life here. But fear from not remembering who we are and Who made all this for His purpose causes multitudes pain and suffering while waiting for their big reveal at the end of this journey. This has been my experience.

If it’s her time it’s her time. Mary told my wife she would die whom I loved with my whole heart and soul. Her took her at 56

Deuteronomy chapter 29 verse 29 🙏🏻

It happened because this is a television show, and they wanted a big emotional scene, and for us to ask "Why didn't Jesus save her?" Which, you know, he would have done. If he could do that kind of thing. And if this was something that really happened in his life, which Dallas Jenkins said we have no reason to think it did. Jesus, in Luke and John's gospel (the two I consider the least reliable), healed the ear of a man sent to arrest him, who Peter struck with a sword. I really question whether Jesus' disciples would have followed him--whether Thomas would still have been a disciple of his--if he'd led them into such a dangerous situation, then not healed such a devoted follower, a young betrothed woman, with her whole life ahead of her--and frankly, since Jesus says it's the faith of those he heals that truly heals them, how would he heal a man who was there to arrest him? But see, this is why you have to realize that while Jesus truly existed, not all the stories told about him are true, and are often told to make a point, as this one was. However, it's so far from the original source, that while it's emotionally powerful--I dont' feel that it works. This sesaon is very problematic, and it's lowering my respect for the show. It's becoming too contrived. Too much of the standard TV complications. It's losing that feeling of deep conviction it had earlier. And they are slipping into the standard "Only the Jews who believed in Jesus were good, the others were evil" and that's wrong.

@@thenextseason I mean, it's only the greatest story ever told. But here's the thing about entertainment-based writers--TV, film, etc--they feel like if they just tell the story they're adapting, they haven't done anything. I know the gospels, in themselves, are missing a lot of details about things we'd like to know. And that's because the people writing them didn't have all the deets themselves. They were not written by Jesus' disciples. They came around later, and were made out of memories of him that survived, combined with some stories that clearly did not happen (it's impossible for both Matthew and Luke's nativity stories to be factual, and probably neither is). People have been tweaking the story of Jesus for a long time now. Adding to it.Trying to make it make sense--trying to understand who this anomalous person was. But the truth is, we'll never fully know him. And the real point of telling his story is not to know him, but to be more like him. And there's more than enough there for that. Love, don't hate. Give, don't take. Judge yourself before others. I'm not angry at the writers, because they're just doing what everybody who works with this story does. Just once, though--I wish somebody would adapt one of the gospels--just one, because they are four different stories, told in distinctly different ways--and not add anything. Let it stand as written. Mark's is my favorite. Because it's the first, and it has the fewest tweaks. I think that's as close as we're ever getting to the real man. And it ends very mysteriously--in its earliest version. Where his body is gone. But he has not yet appeared to anyone.

This episode really bothered me. If she had died on her way somewhere and Jesus said I'm sorry but it was her time, it would have been one thing. But she died because the character of Jesus (I need to differentiate because this wasn't in the Bible) seemed to cause it accidentally. He seemed to get joy from sticking it to the pharisees and then accidentally lost control of the crowd. None of that would have happened in teal life. She was also still alive when he arrived so he could have just healed her. Also, spoilers (I guess it's a spoiler): Jesus is going to resurrect his friend Lazarus soon. So he can accidentally cause Phillip's fiancé to die and leave her, but then resurrect his friend soon after? It's going to be interesting when Phillip sees him resurrect Lazarus now. Reva dying is whatever, I just wish they would have done it without making the character of Jesus look like he accidentally caused her to die and then chose to leave her.

This episode did a disservice to our Lord Jesus to say the least. The bible is very clear (Matt 12:15) that during Jesus' 3.5 yrs ministry on earth, whilst Jesus may not heal everyone (eg those who did not come to Him, those who did not believe Him such as his own hometown), He heals ALL who CAME to Him. I can fully appreciate that during the old testament time and even in our current century, God may not answer every of our prayers or healing. However, to portray Jesus not healing someone who came to him, this is simply not accurate portrayer of Jesus's ministry when he walk the earth (ie healing ALL who came to him, unless there is a sliver of example in the new testament that shows that Jesus did not/ refuse to heal someone who came to him). In fact, it would have been a more powerful episode had it shows Jesus healing Ramah as a plausible scenario (even tho the bible did not mention any case of Jesus healing someone who got stabbed or killed), which is still in-line with Jesus healing ALL who came to him.

In this episode, i was wondering who was it, now i know, King David. And the last scene, i expected Jesus to resurrect Ramah but didn't. Was wondering why..😢😮

Rama's death was shocking. As with the truth that the Lord's work spans the time from beginning to end, there are reasons, unknown, as to why they happen. From a fiction events perspective, and understanding how the Lord works in our lives, the horrible event may lend to key future events. It may be for Gaius' story, Quintus, who knows. When The Chosen deals with the scriptural components, they MUST get them correct or I'm out. The fiction is...the fiction. It is what it is...

Considering the shaky political situation in Judaea and how the Jewish people view Rome, Quintus will be lucky if Pilate lets him keep his head.

IMHO, this fictitious last scene is an insult to Christ’s doctrine and character. It is not Christ’s doctrine or character to contend with anger, incite a riot, and lead his beloved disciples to slaughter. 3 Nephi 11 v29-30, Psalm 23, John 10 v11, Isaiah 9 v6. Truth. 29 For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another. 30 Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away. Having said that, in general, I’m a huge fan of The Chosen and have loved many depictions of our Savior in The Chosen! Most members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are fans of the chosen because they know, and they are deeply committed to the importance of making Christ known to the nations. That is why so many members serve two year missions and try to live Jesus Christ’s gospel and show the love of Jesus all their lives. 2 Nephi v8 Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.

imagine if you are someone who actually lost someone in real life and watching it. How crushing it will be having to relate the pain, knowing that God loves us but our demands not met

As sad as this scene of Rama’s death was it is not written in the Bible. However, Jesus wanted us to truly believe that he and God love us. The pain and suffering in life is meant to be in order to draw us closer to God and Jesus. Listen to the explanation Jesus gives Thomas about not raising Rama from the dead. It’s testimony to what we must learn and understand about the infinite love of God and Jesus for everyone. Jesus loved us so much he suffered a horrible death for our salvation and eternal life in heaven. That’s my opinion 🙏❤️God bless us all 🙏❤️

According to the Gospels, Jesus is consistently portrayed as compassionate and willing to heal those who seek His help in faith. The text is clear: unless there was a reason to delay or there was a lack of faith in the area, Jesus healed all who came to Him for healing. For instance, in Matthew 8:16, it says, "When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick." Similarly, in Mark 6:56, it’s written, "And wherever he went-into villages, towns or countryside-they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed." Therefore, portraying Jesus as refusing to heal someone without a clear, scriptural reason risks altering the fundamental nature of His compassion and willingness as depicted in the Gospels.

Mmm, this was a misstep and a flaw in the story. True that God does not always answer yes to prayers, like for king David, but the parallel between the two stories is not correct; in this case, the living God is there with the disciples and performs miracles all the time. It is quite illogical his refusal to heal Ramah, unless: 1) he is worried for the reaction of the people against Rome and Pharisees if he shows his true power; 2) he could not heal her because the action of healing would have been against the free will of Quintus of making an evil act, despite instinctive. This is going to create a cul-de-sac, because now Jesus will be called to explain his refusal and this will create more controversies, but I hope that they will find an elegant way to explain it. The actor that impersonates Jesus was evidently uncomfortable in playing this scene, far from being a touching moment. Also because Thomas cannot play well dramatic scenes. But it is ok, the show must go on.

So keep the faith. Secondly, it's is also an outreach to the Jewish and Islamic communities to indicate that Jesus was not the Son of God and divine, but more like a prophet who needed to communicate with the Father on all things as Moses did.

It appears this underlying truth conveyed in her not being called back to “this” life is heard when Peter speaks out in saying “Gods WAYS are not our ways.

That is not making stuff up but keeping it real.

Jesus said He came to do the Father’s will. For reasons we don’t understand Father God said “no”. As followers we have to accept the fact that not everything we want is what God wants for us. I hated Rama had to die but remember the Bible tells us that Peter was the only married man among the disciples.

He won't work against the Father's will....The plan for Thomas was to be a missionary

@@tmts9633 he shouldn't have invented someone to have her die so Thomas could be alone. He could just have been alone. And don't drag Jesus who would never deny Thomas and let a woman die in his care. He just wouldn't have. This wasn't a broken leg or a miscarriage.

@@workinprogress-ye5or Thanks for the clarification. I agree cuz I was wondering how this was going to play out, assuming the apostles (minus Peter) were not married when they went out after the Ascension. I figured Jesus was just going to say no to Ramah's request. But the interesting thing I never considered was Jesus saying He was sorry for not giving Thomas what he wanted. I need to chew on that when I don't get what I want, knowing that it is not what He wants for me.

Peter....(petros) means small rock or stone! The rock upon which Jesus will build his church, is the revelation of Jesus is the Christ is the rock that the church will be built on !

Yes!

She will be resurrected when when Jesus comes back.

Ramah will be resurrected when Jesus dies on the cross and the earthquake opens the tombs of the saints and they go into Jerusalem. Matthew 27

For what reason? To show it I mean. She was fictitious and she can't marry Thomas. That would hurt even more.

Yahusha already told us, that He listens to and obeys His Father, Yahua. He does not do anything of His own free will, He is obedient to the Father's Will. It must not have been Yahua's will for the actor to be raised from the dead.

So his Father didn't want a fictious character who was engaged to Thomas and in Jesus's care, cured from a dumb sword injury not even meant to hurt her and he said it's okay to raise Lazurus days after he died. No.

Kiss the Son lest God be angry and perish in the way. His kingdom will crush all governments and His kingdom will last forever. I truly believe in these statements. Come soon, our lord of Lord's. This world 🌎 is in shambles!

All the apostles have a role to play and understand the Will of him that sent him is an important part. Suffering is what defines us and either makes us stronger or not. This is Thomas's time to decide whether or not to have faith in Jesus and step out onto that water and float or drown. Faith is the cornerstone of Christianity, as is Christ. This was to build character because the father knows us better than we do. He knows Thomas and loves him but still has doubts. Thomas must focus on Jesus who has a job. This will become more obvious when Thomas finally put his finger in Jesus hand and side after this resurrection. Thomas was the one who doubted the resurrection. Doubting Thomas

Yes, I think in the end, this was a good storyline to show why Thomas would be a doubter

We know Jesus doesn't heal and answer everyone's prayers. Lots of examples in The Chosen. There really was no reason to kill Rehma. It adds nothing, and comes at the cost of taking the show far astray from scripture. Also made for the only weak ending so far. A rare own goal in an otherwise excellent series. Gaius I think had no ulterior motive and was simply refusing to arrest Jesus. Atticus is simply interpreting this through the only lens he knows, power politics and ambition. Even so, his first reaction is that Gaius has turned into a believer.
