JESUS BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN
Matthew 26:47-68 ; Mark 14:43-65 ; Luke 22:47-52
; John 18:1-27
When the disciples of Jesus saw that he would
not allow them to fight for him, they did not know what to do. In their sudden
alarm they all ran away, and left their Master alone with his enemies. These men
laid their hands on Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to the house of Annas,
who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was
the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if one man died for the people of the high-priest.

JESUS BEFORE ANNAS
There were at that time two men called high priests by the Jews. One was Annas,
who had been high priest until his office had been taken from him by the Romans,
and given to Caiaphas, his son-in-law. But Annas still had great power among the
people; and they brought Jesus, all bound as he was, first before Annas.
Annas, in the inner room, asked Jesus about his disciples and teaching. Jesus
answered him, "What I have taught has been open in the synagogues and in the
Temple. Why do you ask me? Ask those that heard me; they know what I said." Then
one of the officers struck Jesus on the mouth, saying to him, "Is this the way
that you answer the high priest?" Jesus answered the officer calmly and quietly,
"If I have said anything evil, tell what the evil is; but if I have spoken the
truth, why do you strike me?" Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the
high priest.
JESUS BEFORE CAIAPHAS
From the house of Annas the enemies of Jesus led him away bound to the house
of Caiaphas, whom the Romans had lately made high priest. There all the rulers
of the Jews were called together, and they tried to find men who would swear
that they had heard Jesus say some wicked thing. This would give the rulers an
excuse for putting Jesus to death. But they could find nothing. Some men swore
one thing, and some swore another; but their words did not agree.
Finally the high priest stood up, and said to Jesus, who stood bound in the
middle of the hall, "Have you nothing to say? What is it that these men are
speaking against you?" But Jesus stood silent, answering nothing. The the high
priest spoke again, "Are you the Christ, the Son of God?"
And Jesus said, "I am; and the time shall come when you will see the Son of man
sitting on the throne of power and coming in the clouds of heaven!" These words
made the high priest very angry. He said to the rulers, "Do you hear these
dreadful words? He says that he is the Son of God. What do you think of words
like these?"
They all said, with one voice, "He deserves to be put to death!" Then the
servants of the high priest and the soldiers that held Jesus began to mock him.
They spat on him, and they covered his face, and struck him with their hands,
and said, "If you are a prophet, tell who it is that is striking you!"
