Golden Text.—He la deaplaed and
rejected of men.—Isaiah 63i3.
Our Lord underwent three trial* at
the hand* of the Jew*. The first, that
before Annas, I* related only by John;
the second, before Calaphoa, by Mat
thew and Mark; the third, before the
Sanhedrim, by Luke alone.
_ Each trial as the narrators retarded
K, miaul w« iiiw (hubI iiiivwrUwM The
one in our Jesuon Is that before Cal-
aphas.
In our lost lesson, we saw Jesus be.
Ing led away from tho garden of Goth,
semane through tho hushed streets of
tho silent city to the palace of the high
priest, which was Jointly occupied by
Annas and his son-ln-Iaw, Calaphas.
Annas, now 70 years old, had been
the actual high priest only seven years.
Before this period, he bad been deposed
by the procurator Valerius Gratus. lie
Is tho Ananus of Josephus. Since tho
days of Herod tho Oreat, the hl|h
priesthood had been degraded from
a permanent religious to a secular
distinction. It waa before Annus, the
astute worldly Kaddutee, whose ttaino
moaning “Merciful," was a misnomer,
that Jesus first stood os a prisoner at
the tribunal. If there was one man
more, guilty than another of tho death
of Jesus, that man was Annas.
It Is worthy of note that the Phari
sees, who were the avowed enemies of
Christ, and were eager for His death,
after His arrest, took so little part that
their name Is not mentioned. The chief
priests and elders seemed to havt
taken their place. The enmity of tho
latter was no doubt due to the Lord’s
words and acta concerning the temple
which they regarded as their domain
and to HI* cleansing of It.
In all threo evangelists, Matthew,
Mark and Luke, wa And those who
complained of the act were the “chief
priests and scribes.” The general In
dignation against th* gross abuses
would Interfere with their Illicit and
avaricious gains. After a few ques
tions, and after Jesus had been smit
ten on the face, Ho was led bound
across the court yard to Calaphas, who,
like his father-in-law, waa a Sadducee,
equally unscrupulous, and possessed
of less force of character and will.
Tho Roman soldiers were halted out
side, for their presence would havo
been a defilement. The 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 caaes the accused
was considered Innocent till proven
guilty. It was the duty ot tho presid
ing officer to admonish the witnesses
that they must remember tho value of
human life, and every doubt must be
In the prisoner's favor. All evidence
must be freely admitted and a council
appointed to defend tho accused. The
verdict of acquittal could be given ot
once, but that of guilty only the day
nfter the trial. A capital trial could
not begin on the day preceding the
Bahbath or public feast. No criminal
trial could be held thiough the night.
The Judges who condemned hud to fast
all the previous day, and no one could
be executed on the same day that the
sentenco was pronounced. In the trial
of Jesus, all these rules were disre
garded. The'Judge himself took the
part of accuser; no witnesses wero
called In HI*, defense, though the It^w
gave such a preference,
offe
and His disciples, but Jesus remained
silent. He had apoken openly In the
synagogues. In the temple and to the
assembled thousands. The law did not
require one to criminate himself, but
that witnesses should testify. An hon
est and formal Inquiry was no part of
the plan of Calaphas. Ho wished to
hand Him over to tho Romans as soon
as passible, ihst H- mi*ht not Im res
pued by the people, many of whom be
lieved on Him. Then one of the turn-
keya Jn violation of all Judicial rules
struck the prisoner on the mouth with
his hand. — ,
False witnesses were brought In to
mnko some charge of false doctrine, or
seditious language, but they could get
no evidence to establish a charge of
which the Romans would tako cog
nisance,
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, other* contradicted themselves. At
last one witness testlffed that he had
heard Jesus say He would destroy the
temple. Christ hod said: "Destroy this
temple and In three days I will build it
again"—not that He would destroy It,
and Ho was speakli *
and not the temple
ty-slx year* In building. Meanwhile
Jesus remained silent. “As a sheep be
fore his shearers Is dumb, He opened
not His mouth.” He knew It would bo
Idle to speak before auch' a tribunal.
At lost Calaphas asked If Jesus had
nothing to say In His own defense.
Still He remained silent. He might
have closed the examination at this
point and taken a vote. Looking Into
the calm, dlgnllled face of Jesus,
speaking In Aramaic, he asked If Ho
were tho King Messiah, the Bon of God.
With kingly dignity and in the faco of

A common Interest united those who
before were deadly enemies.
Seated In the center of a seml-clrcle,
with the judges around Him, Calaphas
hegnn to question his prlseuer. ussum-
I Ir.g the duty of prosecutor. He asked
or Judaism, would havo had no effect
upon the procurator, but now that Ho
had claimed to ba tho Messiah Ho
could be represented to Pilate as
atato criminal. This preliminary exam
ination needed to be confirmed by
gathering of the hierarchy,
i happened about 3 o'clock Fri
day morning. There was nothing to re.
strain the coarse natures to whose
ears the condemned hud 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 Hint
on the head with tfcolr flits, others
slapped His face with their hands,
while others adding tho greatest In
anity an Oriental could offer, spat In
Is face.
John anil Peter, relovering from
their first panic, and anxious to see
what htul become of their Muster, fol
lowed at a distance till 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 his so
licitation, Peter also.
It was a chilly April night, and
around tho lire that Imd been kindled In
the court stood Peter, wondering v'hat
the end would be and doubtless fear
ing for his own safety. All are familiar
with the story of his denial, how he de
nted Him thrice, the last time with an
oath, und the cock crew, and he was
reminded of what Ills Lord had said.
Just then they led Him by and we uro
told “The Lord looked on Peter"—not,
we Imagine, a look of reproach, or an
ger, or condemnation, but one of love
and tendet-neis, that plorced Peter’s
heart and sent him out to weep bitter
tears of penitence. Toward the close
of tho fourth watch, and before day
break, the heads of the theocracy had
extemporised u .semblance of the old
high court of tho nation, hut It was
necessary that the whole Banhedrlin
should ratify a sentence of death. Tho
proceedings, however, wero only for
mal, to hear Ijio sentence of the com
mission and Intlorsn It. When this tvas
done the wny was clear to hand Him
over to Pilate.
