Breaking Down Caiaphas’s Prayer: How The Chosen S5E5 Uses Scripture | The Chosen S5E5

In The Chosen Season 5 Episode 5, Caiaphas prays during Passover, quoting Psalm 79:8-10 (KJV): O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? This scene portrays Caiaphas viewing Jesus as a threat, even calling him a sorcerer-necromancer, a dramatic addition not found in scripture but plausible given John 11:47-53, where the Sanhedrin fears Jesus’ influence.
