[Pages:2]The Chosen Season 1; Episode 6 - Indescribable Compassion (51:55) ________________________________________________
O Holy Spirit, help me to recognize You in the Scriptures and in the Chosen Episodes, which are based upon your inspired Word. Open my mind to accept in faith Your truths, even before I am granted right understanding.
Scripture References:
Mark 1:40-44 A leper came to him, begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean." ... (Jesus) said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean." ... he was made clean.
Luke 12:35-40 "... be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding. ... Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. ... You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."
Mark 2:3-12 They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. ... When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "... your sins are forgiven." ... Jesus said, "Which is easier, to say to the paralytic `Your sins are forgiven' or to say `Rise, pick up your mat and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth" - He said to the paralytic, "Rise, pick up your mat, and go home".

Things to ponder:
1. Jesus speaking Egyptian was an understandable surprise. He spent his early years in Egypt until the death of King Herod. Herod was intend on killing the prophesized Messiah and was responsible for the killing of the Holy Innocents (Matt 2:16-18). Scriptures do not tell us how many years the Holy Family was in exile in Egypt, but they definitely returned before the `finding in the temple'.
2. The crowd gathered at Zebedee's house to hear Jesus teach and ask him questions. Do you find it interesting that everyone in town seemed to hear about it... the townsfolk, the Pharisees, the Roman soldiers... Capernum was a village (in Jesus' time) boasting a population of about 1500 people.
3. Jesus' teaching at Zebedee's house included many of the familiar parables and sayings that we read in the Gospels. It is possible that he repeated them at different opportunities to teach, maybe depending upon his audience. Hearing them several times could be why the disciples remembered them for us in the Gospels.
What about you?
A. The leper was an outcast; people feared for their health to be near lepers. Have you ever felt like an outcast? Some folk who caught the COVID virus were considered outcasts, but only for a while, until they were healthy again. Can you imagine the joy of being cured of your `leprosy' (or whatever problem)?
B. Shmuel was rigorously trying to protect the `faith', as he knew it. Nicodemus gentilly tried to help Shmuel to be open to the Truth in scripture and as God may choose to reveal it. Our faith may lead us to protect the Truth, as we know it. Can we be open to the Truth revealed in scripture? Are we open to Jesus' presence among us? Do we have any preconceived ideas about His second coming?
C. Jesus' curing of the paralytic had many facets: the faith of the paralytic and his friends, Jesus' power to heal & to forgive sins, the awe of the witnesses, the confusion of the Pharisees, the concern of the soldiers (only to keep control), etc. Which group or person do you identify with? Can you imagine being the paralytic & now you are able to walk?
