Did Jesus really pray for Judas? 'The Chosen' faces backlash over 'super unbiblical' scene

Dallas Jenkins, creator of the hit TV show "The Chosen," is defending a scene from the show's upcoming new season.

The controversial and tense scene, from the unreleased season 5, depicts Jesus speaking with Judas before the betrayal.

In the scene, Jesus tells Judas that he has a "choice to make": "Who you belong to. Who has your heart?" Jesus then says, "I want it, and I've had it before. You followed me willingly." Judas responds by telling Jesus, "There is nothing more that I want than that," to which Jesus says, "Then I will pray for you."

The Chosen has chosen to have very bad theology over and over.

Well, if The Chosen script writers are correct, since Judas betrayed Him, I guess Jesus's prayers weren't answered.

I watched the first few episodes of this show before I could no longer watch all the liberties the show writers took with scripture.

Not a surprise from Jenkins and his mockery of the Biblical Gospels. He thinks he is doing a good thing but he is just corrupting people's imagination on who the Biblical Jesus is.
