This is the episode where Judas's betrayal finally becomes undeniable, and the hosts walk through a tense Last Supper sequence full of suspicion around the table as the disciples try to figure out who among them could possibly turn on Jesus. Meanwhile on the Roman side, Pilate is under pressure, Atticus is forced into an uncomfortable posture, and Claudia is unraveling in her own way, giving the political side of the story just as much weight as the spiritual one. The hosts dig into the fig tree symbolism that closes out the episode and what it signals about where things go from here. There is also a genuinely moving listener testimony they read near the end that both hosts say makes doing the whole show worth it. A jam packed, emotional episode as the season heads toward its final stretch.","meta_description":"Ashe in America and Ghost say Season 5, Episode 5 of The Chosen, \"Because of Me,\" picks up the pace in a big way, and they are not exaggerating.
