Study Notes
Jesus' Trial
- Jesus' trial was marked by false witnesses, focusing on his alleged blasphemy. Witnesses claimed Jesus said he could destroy and rebuild the Temple in three days.
- Jesus acknowledged "I am" when asked if he was the Christ. This was considered blasphemy by the high priest.
- The high priest, Caiaphas, tore his garments in horror and demanded a verdict of guilty.
- The sentencing was predetermined as death.
- Several judges spit on and struck Jesus.
Peter's Denial
- Peter, one of Jesus' followers, fled after Jesus' capture.
- Peter attempted to follow Jesus' captors to the high priest's palace while remaining unseen.
- He ultimately found himself standing in the courtyard.
- A servant girl accused Peter of being a follower of Jesus three times. Peter denied it fiercely on each occasion, claiming, "I do not know the man"
- After the third denial, a rooster crowed. This moment caused Peter to remember Jesus' warning of his three denials and evoked profound remorse.
Roman Involvement
- Jewish authorities lacked the power to execute Jesus; this was reserved for Roman authorities.
- Jesus was taken to the Antonia Fortress, a Roman garrison within the temple grounds.
- Fontius Pilate, the Roman prefect, was known for cruelty. The prefect's presence in Jerusalem during Passover was to manage potential unrest.
