This is a clip from "The Chosen" series Season One: Episodes 7.NOTE, this video DEPICTS the meeting at night between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Jewish High Pries. But The Chosen must have other reasons taking interest in Nicodemus. After all, there are plenty of other minor characters in the biblical accounts that are arguably more significant in the story of Jesus.
Case in point, The Chosen shows relatively little interest in exploring the relationship between Jesus and John the Baptist, even though the biblical account leaves a lot of unanswered.

Sanhedrin matters have lost all interest to Nicodemus after meeting Jesus. Absent-mindedly going through the motions, he's caught off guard when he runs into an.
