Trial 0f Jesus - Caiaphus Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Apr 13, 2022

As we look at the trial of Jesus, we will see how the religious leaders disregarded their own laws regarding the legal proceeding of a capital crime (one worthy of death). In this integrated gospel account, we will also see the fulfillment of prophecies written by David.

Although Annas had previously been the high priest, Caiaphas his son-in-law was the high priest that year. ...read more

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019
