Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus

The Trials of Christ from His Arrest to His Death on the Cross Introduction Jesus was in Jerusalem because he was trying to fulfill the prophesy that the Messiah would die and rise again in three days.

There were many, many illegal things that happened at Jesus' trial. Their goal was to get Him condemned, not to truly and lawfully find out if He was guilty. They had been trying for a long time to find a way to put Him to death. Now, they had him in their hand and they did their best to get rid of Him. “If these men had intended to conduct a legal trial, a specific charge would have been made against Christ, and a warrant for His arrest would have been issued.”1 Since this was not what they wanted

Jesus to me is someone you can trust and have faith in even if you are at the lowest point in your life. He was sent to us by God to save us from our sins and willingly died on the cross for us. Jesus to me is a mentor, teacher, spirit, friend, and leader because of what he does and has done to me and my family.
