The Chosen - not a Bible-reading website but a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus, seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season series shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. The acclaimed series is streaming on Prime Video and always free on The Chosen mobile app (Android, iPhone) and YouTube. We encourage viewers to consider the episodes in the context of their own bible as some dramatic license may be involved in the videos.
