What’s Happened So Far

In the last episode, Jesus called two men, the Pharisee Nicodemus, and the tax collector Matthew.

Nicodemus had requested a personal interview with Jesus after witnessing the healing of the paralytic, but when called by Jesus, was torn between following Jesus and staying in his familiar role as rabbi.

Matthew, on the other hand, was so distracted by all the miracles he saw Jesus perform that he even went to see his estranged mother to talk about it.

While that was not exactly a fruitful encounter, Matthew jumped at the chance to follow Jesus when He personally called him, despite the protests of bodyguard Gaius and Simon the fisherman.

And now we’re ready for episode 8~the last one in the first season :)
