The Court With No Appeal Series

Contributed by Cesar Verdeflor on Nov 8, 2006

This court didn’t have appeal; nothing attactive about it. Although Jesus was innocent of all their accusations, they fabricated a case against Him so they could put Him away.

In our court today, someone may appeal from a lower to a higher court for a new hearing if he was falsely accused. But the Sanhedrin was different.
