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.
