Golden Text—He Is despised and
rejected of. men.—Isalali 63:3.
Our Lora underwent three trials at
the hands of the Jaws. The first, that
before Annas, is rclufed only by John;
the second, before Caiaphos, by Mat
thew and Mark; tho third, before tho
Sanhedrim, by Luke alone.
Each trial as the narrators regarded
It. might be the most Important. Tho
ono in our lesson Is that before Cai-
ophas.
In our last lesson, wc saw Jesus be
ing led away from the garden of Oetb-
semane through tho hushed streets of
the silent city to tlto palace of the high
priest, which was Jointly occupied Dy
Annas and his son-ln-Iaw, Caiaphos.
Annas, now 70 years old, had been
the actual high priest only seven years.
Before this period, he had been deposed
by the procurator Valerius Gratus. Ho
Is the Ananus of Josephus. Since the
days of Herod the Great, the high
prieathootk had been degraded- from
a permanent religious to a secular
distinction. It was before Annas, the
astute worldly Sadducoc. whose name
meaning ‘'Merciful," was a misnomer,
that Jesus flrst stood as a prisoner nt
the tribunal. It there was one man
more guilty than another of the death
of Jesusrthat man was Annas.
It Is worthy of note that the Pharl
sees, who were the avowed enemies of
Christ, nnd were eager for His death,
after His arrest, took so little part that
their name Is not mentioned. Tbe chief
priests und elders seemed to have
taken their place. The enmity of the
latter was no doubt due to the Lord's
words nnd acts concerning th. temple
which they regarded as th.tr domain
and to His cleansing of It.
In alt three evangelists, Matthew,
Mark nnd Luke, we find those who
complained of the net were the "chief
priests and scribes." The general in
dlgnatlon against the gross abuses
would Interfere with their illicit and
avaricious gains. After a few ques
tions. and after Jesua had been smit
ten on tho face. He was led bound
across the court yard to Caiaphos, who,
like his father-in-law, was a Sadducce,
equally unscrupulous, and possessed
of less force of character and will.
The Roman soldiers were halted out'
side, for their presence would have
been a defilement. Th. tribunal about
to condemn Hint was not a legal court.
From beginning to end, It was a
Mock Trial.
It was contrary to all the rules of a
legal trial. In all case, the accused
was considered Innocent till proven
guilty. It was the duty of the presid
ing officer to admonish the witnesses
that they must remember the value of
human life, and every doubt must bo
In the prisoner's favor. All evidence
must he freely admitted and a council
appointed to defend the accused. The
verdict of acquittal could be given at
once, but “that of guilty only the day
after the trial. A capital trial could
not begin on tho day preceding the
Habbnth or public feast. No criminal
trial could bo beld thtmigh the night.
The judges who condemned had to fast
all the previous day, and no one could
be executed on the same day that the
sentence was pronounced. In the trial
of Jesus, all these rules were disre
garded. The judge himself took the
part of accuser; no witnesses were
called In His defense, though tho laty
gave such a preference.
His real offense was that the prlcet
ly authorities felt that He was diffusing
a spiritual Influence that would under
mine the corrupt theocracy nnd their
own power and worldly Interests. He
had violated no Mosaic law that would
condemn Him to death, so there was
nothing left but to fain horror as Jews,
thnt He had raised himself above the
laws of Moses and claimed equality
with God, and as political friends of
the Romans, whom they hated, to pre
tend Indignation nt the disloyalty of
the emperor, whom Ho would displace
as king.
There Is every reason to bsliere thnt
Oafapitas hod determined to convict
Him before the trial. All he wished
was to secure the aid of the Romnn
executioner. At this tlmo the jews
could not sentence any one to death,
and their method of execution was by
stoning, hence It was necessary to se
cure the aid of tbe Roman executioner,
and It was their wish that He should
die by crucifixion, the most cruel and
Ignominious death that none but the
vilest criminals were condemned to suf.
and His disciples, but Jesus remained
silent. He bad spoken openly In the
synagogues. In the temple and to the
assembled thousands. The law did not
require ono to crlmlnato himself, bui
that witnesses should testify. An hon
est and formal Inquiry was no part of
the plan of Caiaphos. Ho wished to
lmnd Him over to the Romans as soon
as possible, that He might not be res
cued by the people, many of whom be
lieved on Him. Then ono of tho turn
keys In violation of all judicial rules
struck the prisoner on the mouth with
hli band. v
Fatso witnesses were brought In ter
make some charge of false doctrine, nr
seditious language, but they could get
no evidence to establish a charge of
which the Romans would take/cog
nizance.
For months they had tried to draw
from Him something they could twist
Into an attack on the national religion
or the Roman government, but had
failed. Some witnesses had nothing to
say, others contradicted themselves. At
last one witness testified thnt ho had
heard Jesus say He would destroy the
temple. Christ had said: "Destroy this
temple and In throe days I will build It
again”—not that He would. destroy It,
and He was speaking of His own body
and not the templo that had been for
ty-six years In building. Meanwhile
Jesus remained silent. “As a sheep be
fore his shearers Is dumb. He opened
not His mouth,” He knew It would be
Idle to speak before such a tribunal.
At last Calaphas asked If Jesus had
nothing to say In His own defense.
He remained silent. He might
have cloaed the examination nt this
point and taken a’vote. Looking into
the calm, dignified face of Jesus,
speaking In Aramaic, he asked If Hu
were the King Messiah, the Bon of God,
With kingly dignity nnd In tho face of
certain death, Jesus answered that He
was. Alt changes affecting the temple,
or Judaism, would have had no effect
upon the procurator, bilt now that Ho
hud claimed to be the Messiah He
could be represented to Dilate os u
state criminal. Tills preliminary exam
ination needed to be confirmed by a
larger gathering of the hierarchy.
This happened about 3 o’clock Fri
day morning: There was nothing to re.
strain the coarse natures to whoso
care the condemned had been con
signed. Encouraged by the example of
the judges, and themselves being bitter

bigots, they vented their cruelty on
Him with the coarsest brutality. Hav
ing blind-folded Him. they struck Him
on tbo head with tbetr fists, others
slapped His face with their bunds,
while others adding the greatest in
dignity on Oriental could offer, spat In
His face.
John and Peter, recovering from
their flrst panic, and anxious to see
what hud become of their Master, fol
lowed at a distance tilt He was brought
to the house of Calaphas. The door of
the outer court had been closed, but
John, being known to the household,
was readily admitted, and at Ills so.
Ucltatlon, Peter also.
It was a chilly April night, nnd
around the Are that had been kindled In
tbo court stood Peter, wondering what
tho end would be nnd doubtless fear
ing for bis dwn safety. All are familiar
with the story of his denial, how he de.
nled Him thrice, the lust time with an
oath, and the cock crew, and ho was
reminded of wlint his Lord had said.
Just then they led Him by and we are
told ‘‘The Lord looked on Peter”—not,
wc Imagine, a look of reproach, nr an
ger, or condemnation, but one of love
and tenderness, that pierced Peter's
heart and sent him out to weep bitter
tears of penitence. Toward the close
of the fourth watch, and before day
break, the heads of the theocracy had
extemporized a semblance of the old
high court of the nation, but It was
necessary that the whole Banhedrlm
should ratify a sentence of death. The
proceedings, however, were only for
mal, to hear the sentence of the com
mission and Indorse It. When this was
done the way was clear to hand Him
over to Pilate.
