It was now late Thursday night and Jesus was on trial for his life. He had been arrested even though he hadn’t done anything wrong. The Temple leaders were angry at what he had been saying about God.
He was taken to the Council of the High Priests in the Temple where Caiaphas, the high priest, questioned him. Caiaphas got people to make false accusations against Jesus but the witnesses all contradicted one another. They could not seem to get their stories straight. Jesus was silent throughout this proceeding.
Angered to the point where he tore his clothes in frustration, Caiaphas pronounced Jesus a heretic and, with the consent of his fellow priests, took him to Pilate, who was the Roman Governor of Judea.
Pilot sentenced Jesus to death, even though he found Jesus innocent.
