Emitte: Yes, The Jєωs were chosen, to have the scriptures and such. They had all that going for them. Yet, Christ as a boy, questioned them and listened to them, and there He was in their midst and was not known. Even with all the scriptures foretelling of the Messiah, they did not put their minds there but in other unnecessary places. Because they did not accept Christ, they were no longer the chosen, for they did not choose Christ.
