Life of Christ Lesson 170a: Christ Before Pilate {Pilate with the Prosecutors}

from The Caldwell Commentaries Podcast · host Caldwell Commentaries

A two-part study that covers:  Matthew 27:11; Mark 15:2; Luke 23:1-4; and John 18:28-38 The Lord's prediction of Matthew 27:2 that the Jewish leaders of Israel would turn Him over to the Gentiles (Mark 10:33) came to pass.  The Sanhedrin Council and its two corrupt, co-reigning high priests (Annas and Caiaphas) decided it was expedient for them that "one man should die for the people" (John 11:50), so they condemned Him to death and sent Him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, to execute Him. There is a great deal of important dialogue to discuss in all that transpired as the Lord's three "civil" trials (they were anything but civil) began.  We only cover part of His first appearance before Pilate in this lesson (Part I), so be sure to also listen to Part II (Lesson 170b)!
