By Brad Miner, The Catholic Thing - There are reasons why (Jesus) spoke in parables and why the final revelation of His divinity awaited the Resurrection. John says (1:38) that when Jesus was called “rabbi” it meant teacher. In The Chosen, this is what we see: through the eyes of His followers, Jesus is a great teacher, surely the One expected throughout Israel’s history – all the way back to Moses. (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)
