The Trial of Jesus
Follow Jesus from his arrest through each hearing, from Judas's kiss to Pilate's sentence. Step through them one person at a time.
Judas, one of the twelve, came with a great multitude with swords and staves from the chief priests and elders; he said, “Hail, Rabbi,” and kissed Jesus, and they laid hands on Jesus and took him (Matt 26:47-50).
The band and the officers seized Jesus, bound him, and “led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas”; Jesus was asked “of his disciples, and of his teaching”; and “Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest” (John 18:12-13, 19-24).
They led Jesus away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered; the council sought false witness against him, and the high priest asked whether he was the Christ, the Son of God (Matt 26:57-66).
Peter followed afar off into the high priest’s house; a fire was kindled in the midst of the court and Peter sat in the midst of them, and three times he denied Jesus; the cock crew, and the Lord turned and looked upon Peter, and he went out and wept bitterly (Luke 22:54-62).
The whole company brought Jesus before Pilate, who asked, “Art thou the King of the Jews?” and said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no fault in this man” (Luke 23:1-5).
Learning that Jesus was of Herod’s jurisdiction, Pilate sent him unto Herod, who questioned him in many words but he answered him nothing; Herod with his soldiers mocked him and sent him back to Pilate (Luke 23:6-12).
Pilate said he had found no cause of death in Jesus, but the voices of the people prevailed and he gave sentence; he washed his hands, released Barabbas, and Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified (Luke 23:13-25; Matt 27:24-26).
