Jesus Stands Trial Before the Sanhedrin (Matthew 26:57–68)

This passage recounts how Jesus is brought before Caiaphas and the assembled Sanhedrin. False witnesses accuse him of claiming he could destroy and rebuild the temple in three days, but their testimonies don’t align. When the high priest demands that Jesus declare if he is the Messiah, he affirms his identity and foretells the coming of the Son of Man in glory. Outraged, the council declares his statement blasphemy, sentences him to death, and subjects him to mockery and physical abuse.
