That was the key point of my post. Usually the extra stuff infuriates me, because it detracts so much from the actual text. This scene does deviate from the text, but does so in a way that "could" have happened - and probably did.

When Jesus starts recalling her husbands - it certainly sounds like:

29 Come, see a Man Who has told me everything that I ever did! Can this be [is not this] the Christ? [Must not this be the Messiah, the Anointed One?]

The Amplified Bible (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1987), Jn 4:29.

If I were the director, I would have shot it a bit different. I see from the text that the woman was well spoken, doesn't come off as overly emotional, and is very familiar with religion, especially about the coming Messiah. That was one area I thought was lacking.

I know I am in the minority, but The Chosen really disturbs me. This is not Jesus. I would never have been a follower of this uncertain, must ask the disciples how to deliver a sermon Jesus. It is not the Lord I know in my heart.
