The Trial Matthew 26:57-75
Introduction • The Trial • High Priest and Sanhedrin
Culture • Jesus was from Galilee • People in Jerusalem did not understand him • “Son of God” title of honor and distinction • “Son of Man” title of a peasant
Culture • “Coming in the clouds of Heaven” a mission will succeed with great honor • “Sitting at the Right Hand of God” people will see that God was backing Jesus’ mission • High Priest teaching his clothes • Spitting in the face mockery
Biblical Point • No testimony was found; Jesus was not the revolutionary the Sanhedrin called Him • Jesus was quite like in the Garden • Jesus being hit then asked who did it (blindfold missing) • JoesphCaiphas – high priest (19 – 36 CE); was from the House of Kaipha
For Us today • Jesus was a man of peace who lived in a sinful world • Can we recognize evil? Actions reveal a lot • Evil can be confronted • Love and grace can conquer evil
