Chances are, you\u2019ve seen that phrase on this website, or maybe on a t-shirt, or even a bumper sticker. Heck, thousands of people have put it on their doorsteps as a welcome mat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that phrase didn\u2019t actually originate with us. One of the best things about a historical drama like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chosen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that we\u2019ve got plenty of source material to pull from. Our writers and consultants scour ancient literature, especially the Bible (duh). And, while you might not see anything there about a fattened goose, this phrase comes directly from the first chapter of John\u2019s gospel when Philip told Nathanael to \u201ccome and see.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Story of a Skeptic<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story behind \u201ccome and see\u201d is, in many ways the story of a skeptic. In the biblical account, it\u2019s awfully hard to miss that Nathanel\u2019s skeptical.<strong> But, Nathanael isn&#8217;t a skeptic in the traditional sense.<\/strong> He&#8217;s actually a faithful, truthful believer. His skepticism comes from that place of truthfulness\u2014here\u2019s yet another guy claiming to be the Messiah. So, when our writers tackle a story like this, they tackle tough questions head on: what could possibly make this type of skeptic drop everything to \u201ccome and see\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we\u2019re first introduced to Nathanael in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chosen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he\u2019s a Jewish architect who wants nothing more than to build a synagogue for worship, to do a great thing in God\u2019s name. But it\u2019s not long before that dream literally crashes around him. Everything that could go wrong goes wrong, and Nathanael ends up with nothing to his name. He stumbles out of town, collapses under a fig tree, and turns his blueprints to ash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 100% !important; aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9;\" title=\"The Chosen | Season 2, Episode Two | Nathanael Under the Fig Tree\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FErqhQFaYJ4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Story of a Skeptic <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and a Disciple<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the thing. When we said the story behind those three words\u2014\u201ccome and see\u201d\u2014is the story of a skeptic, we were holding back just a bit. (If you\u2019re an overachiever and you\u2019ve read our source material in John 1:43-51, you already know this.) The story behind \u201ccome and see\u201d is the story of a skeptic named Nathanael <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a man named Philip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In John\u2019s gospel, It\u2019s clear that Nathanael seems to have been good friends with a man named Philip. And while Nathanael is stumbling to his tree steeped in skepticism, a few miles away, Philip has an encounter with Jesus. And we\u2019re told (source material!) that in the wake of that encounter, Philip becomes a disciple of Jesus\u2014an apprentice-like relationship in the Jewish world. Now, where does Nathanael fit into all of this? Well, remember: they\u2019re good friends. And Nathanael decides to nudge his skeptical friend <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just a bit<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the direction of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 100% !important; aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9;\" title=\"The Chosen | Season 2, Episode Two | Come and See\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lseNh-rZvHM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there\u2019s those three words: \u201cCome and See.\u201d Lifted right from Season Two Episode 2 of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chosen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which was lifted right from our source material of John 1:44-51. \u201cCome and see\u201d is Philip\u2019s winsome (and frankly, chill) way of saying to a skeptic, \u201cMaybe just give him a chance? Maybe just come and spend some time with him, see what he has to say and what he can do, and go from there?\u201d And according to the story that\u2019s been handed down to us by John, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nathanael goes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 100% !important; aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9;\" title=\"The Chosen | Season 2, Episode Two | Nathanael Meets Jesus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hiOKxLzcyHw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Story of a Skeptic Who Becomes a Disciple<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of the source material we work off of\u2014the Bible and other ancient resources\u2014tells us that Nathanael pushed past his skepticism and became a disciple himself.
