Jesus on Trial | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text:  Mark 14:53-65   A Secret Trial of Conspiracy (Mark 14:53-60)  The trial was shrouded in deception and injustice at every level. The religious leaders assembled the evidence from false witnesses to get their intended verdict. Jesus' intentional silence during the trial fulfills prophecy (Isaiah 53:7)   A Startling Revelation of Lordship (Mark 14:61-62) Jesus breaks His silence to answer the question about His identity. Jesus declares Himself to be the Son of God and Lord of all.   A Scornful Condemnation of Death (Mark 14:63-65) Jesus' declaration of Lordship is met with accusations of blasphemy. Jesus' death sentence is followed by merciless mocking, spitting, and beatings.
