The Chosen's Biggest Mary Magdalene Mistake

In this analysis of The Chosen Season 1 Episode 1, we examine one of the most memorable moments in the series: the deliverance of Mary Magdalene. The Chosen presents a dramatic and emotional scene where Jesus restores Mary, but how does that compare with the biblical accounts of demonic possession and exorcism? In this video we compare the show's portrayal with passages from Mark 1, Mark 5, and other Gospel accounts. We explore how demons respond to Jesus throughout Scripture, the authority Christ demonstrates over evil spirits, and why those details matter when portraying biblical events. Topics discussed include: • Mary Magdalene and the seven demons • The demoniac of Gadara • Jesus' authority over unclean spirits • Biblical exorcism accounts • The use of Isaiah 43 in The Chosen • Whether the show's interpretation reflects the intent of Scripture The goal is not simply to criticize The Chosen, but to examine every scene through the lens of Scripture and encourage careful biblical study. What do you think? Did The Chosen faithfully portray Mary Magdalene's deliverance, or does the biblical text point in a different direction?
