‘The Chosen’: LAST SUPPER

'The Chosen': Last Supper Trailer; Men only at the Last Supper!
FAKE NEWS!

‘The Chosen’ is an excellent series about the life of Jesus told in a very realistic manner. But it has completely lost my admiration by presenting the LAST SUPPER as a male only event!

'The Chosen': Last Supper Trailer: Jesus' secret meeting with 7 women disciples "... keep your distance from me in Jerusalem..."

All of his women disciples who had figured equally throughout are suddenly banished. To explain this ‘The Chosen’ has added in an invented scene of Jesus meeting alone with 7 of his women disciples saying “I ask that you keep your distance from me in Jerusalem these few days.” No scriptural basis if offered for this totally fictional meeting.

No where in the gospels does it say that the women disciples were excluded from the Last Supper. And the next day the women were at the foot of the cross while the men ran away!

Throughout his ministry Jesus treated women and men as equals.

Has ‘The Chosen’ sold its soul to the patriarchal church?
