Study Notes

Trials of Jesus

  • Jesus faced three trials before his death:
    • Sanhedrin Council: Accused of blasphemy, false witnesses, and claiming to be the Messiah. Council lacked the power to execute, so they sent him to Pilate.
    • Pilate: Accused of not paying taxes and claiming kingship. Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, then returned him to Pilate.
    • Herod: Herod was looking for a miracle, but Jesus remained silent. Herod mocked Jesus and sent him back to Pilate.
    • Pilate (second time): Pilate attempted to release Jesus, but Jewish leaders demanded Barabbas be released instead. Pilate had Jesus crucified.
