The Chosen star Jonathan Roumie explained how the show’s fifth season will explore the “hypocrisy” within the church, specifically how religious leaders in the New Testament would extort “the poorest of the poor.”
During an appearance on ABC News’s The View, Roumie, who plays Jesus Christ in the popular television series, delved into his leading role and what it explores in the show’s next season. Co-host Sunny Hostin asked how the show portrays Jesus’s “righteous anger” and what evoked these feelings within Jesus. Roumie explained his character depicts Jesus seeing “the temple establishment” exercising hypocrisy in their faith.
