The Chosen's depiction of Nicodemus — creative but without historical evidence

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 7) 00:41:22 – 00:42:22

Specific example from The Chosen Episode 1

The Chosen portrays Nicodemus attempting to cast out a demon and failing before Jesus succeeds. Mike finds this a creative way to develop Nicodemus's character but notes there is no evidence this occurred. The value is in how it helps viewers engage with Nicodemus's biblical story differently; the risk is treating it as historical fact.
