The chief
priests had been too afraid to arrest Jesus during the previous
days. He was taken before the High Priest, and later examined by the Jewish
Religious Court. Night-time trials, and especially deciding the outcome
for a person's life, were illegal, according to the Jewish Law.
Three charges that were bought against Jesus
were 1) He threatened to destroy The Temple, 2) He claimed
to be the Son of God, 3) He stirred up the Jewish people against
Caesar of Rome. The false testimonies of the first and third charge against
Jesus were not successful, therefore according to Legislation the matter
should have been dropped, also according to the Jewish law, the false witnesses,
who had failed in their accusations because of contradictions, should have
been put to death themselves.
