_ _ Mark 14:55-64. The judicial trial and condemnation of the Lord Jesus by the Sanhedrim.
_ _ But let the reader observe, that though this is introduced by the Evangelist before any of the denials of Peter are recorded, we have given reasons for concluding that probably the first two denials took place while our Lord was with Annas, and the last only during the trial before the Sanhedrim.
_ _ And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death — Matthew (Matthew 26:59) says they “sought false witness.” They knew they could find nothing valid; but having their Prisoner to bring before Pilate, they behooved to make a case.
_ _ and found none — none that would suit their purpose, or make a decent ground of charge before Pilate. |
Mark 14:55
