The Trials of Jesus
  1. Sanhedrin
    1. The Jewish council
      1. A body of people including Chief Priests, Sadducees, Scribes, and Pharisees - a combination of the powerful in Israel
      2. First they ask Jesus if he is the Christ
        1. This is a tricky question, and Jesus' answer reflects this
          1. If he had answered "yes" he would've been accused of blasphemy
            1. If he had answered "no" he would've been seen as an impostor
              1. He says that from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God
                1. The council interpret "Son of Man" in the Messianic sense
            2. Next they ask if Jesus is the Son of God
              1. Jesus respond with "You are right in saying that I am"
                1. The council interprets this as blasphemy
              2. However they needed the authority of Pilate before putting Jesus to death
              3. Pilate
                1. Pilate was the Roman Governor
                  1. Pilate didn't care about blasphemy so they subverted the charges
                    1. They told him Jesus was encouraging revolts, and opposing the paying of taxes to Caesar
                    2. They accused Jesus of being the Christ in the sense of being a King.
                      1. In that he wanted a King's power
                        1. Christ=anointed one
                          1. These were charges they hoped Pilate would take seriously
                          2. Pilate asked Jesus "are you King of the Jews?"
                            1. This was a serious charge because if Jesus answered yes he would be accused of treason
                            2. Pilate saw no crime but the Sanhedrin persisted
                              1. they also mentioned Jesus was from Galilee
                              2. When Pilate heard this he sent Jesus to Herod, King of Galilee
                                1. Probably proud to be rid of this case
                              3. Herod
                                1. Herod asked Jesus if he was a King.
                                  1. Jesus remained silent
                                    1. Herod demanded Jesus perform a miracle
                                      1. Jesus remained silent
                                        1. Herod mocked Jesus and dressed him up like a King before sending him back to Pilate
                                  2. This reflects Isiah 53 where it was predicted that the Suffering Servant would be silent
                                  3. Pilate
                                    1. He still didn't see Jesus as guilty, he planned to have him flogged then released
                                      1. However when he asked the crowd they yelled for Barabbas to be released
                                        1. Barabbas had been convicted of killing a Roman soldier and trying to start an uprising in the city
                                          1. Pilate still wanted to let Jesus go but he gave into the crowd
                                            1. a week ago Jesus had rode into Jerusalem like a King, now the crowds hated him
