The best and worst of The Chosen – in one episode.

TV/film reviewers and Chosen fans Laura Bennett and Ben McEachen disagree about the first half of Season 3's Episode 3, Physician Heal Yourself.

Ben was distracted and eye-rolling about some creative choices, such as Jesus playing sports – badly – and sheep called Cain and Abel. But Laura pointed out that such everyday elements helped the "I am the Messiah" impact of the memorable second half.

#FollowingTheChosen gets up close and personal with every Chosen episode in Season 3, exploring the Bible bits, added bits and "what's that about?" bits.
