**I’m pretty sure the Bible has multiple times Jesus could have done a miracle but chose not to, so this story segment does not sound inconsistent**

In the 4 gospels Jesus only raised 3 people from the dead: the widow’s son in Nain, Jarius’ daughter, and Lazarus. If there were more, the scriptures don’t mention that. In John 5, at the pool of Bethesda, there was a “great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered”, yet he chose to only heal one man.

That said, I’ve seen one episode of the Chosen, about 2 years ago, and was not impressed.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
