Trial Of Jesus - Pilate And Herod Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Apr 13, 2022

Both Pilate and Herod agreed Jesus was innocent, but the Jewish leaders refused to accept the verdict. This integrated gospel account of His trial includes prophecies of details foretold by Isaiah and the fulfillment of those prophecies.

Pilate They tied Jesus up, and the whole crowd led him away from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment in the early morning.

The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022

John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022

The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

INTRODUCTION Pilate’s question, “What is Truth?” was a hotly debated question centuries before he took his first breath and for millennia after he took his last. With so many religious purveyors of truth, we have come to question the reality of absolute truth. Relative truth is currently ...read more
