John Legend had the crowd on their feet praising him for his portrayal of Jesus Christ during NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live on Sunday night. But it wasn't until his magical performance of "Gethsemane" that every single person watching immediately had chills running down their spines in awe of his vocals. It was one of the most jaw-dropping moments of the entire live musical, and even Chrissy Teigen admitted her husband was nervous for this song. Watch the incredible performance above, and then, check out all the thoughts fans had while watching Jesus Christ Superstar Live.

He won't say it but I know he was nervous for that song. So good!!
