The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.
The Chosen Season 5 begins with the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, focusing on Jesus's ride on a donkey and the subsequent mourning over the city's impending destruction. The episodes explore the final days of Jesus's life, the escalating conflict with religious leaders, and culminates in the betrayal by Judas. The narrative sets the stage for the Last Supper and the events leading to the crucifixion, with themes of sacrifice and transformation at their core.
