## Resource

Matthew 26:57, 59-68; Mark 14:53, 55-65; Luke 22:63-66; John 18:24 In this lesson, we look at the second phase of the Lord's religious trial, which was held before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin Council of Israel in an informal setting shortly before dawn. Like the "trial" before Annas, the second one before the co-reigning high priest, was totally illegal. Yet, even though the trial was illegal and the witnesses brought in to testify were false, yet the Council members still could not gain a charge against Jesus! They came to a deadlock of frustration, which we talk about in the first part of our outline, "The Trial Deadlock". The rest of this study is presented in Lesson 168b.
