How Did The Temple Guard Led Jesus?
“Think not that I can pray to my Father, and that he would not send to me

more than twelve legions of angels?”

Jesus then touched the ear of Malchus, and healed him.

And the Temple Guard led Jesus away.

In that same hour, said Jesus to chief priests and the Pharisees:

“You come to me as against a thief in the night with swords and staves to take me?
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you never laid a hand on me.”

Then all the disciples fled from Jesus.

And the Temple Guard led Jesus away to the house of Annas– for he was the father-in-law to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the Pharisees, Scribes and the Elders were assembled.

And the Pharisees

And the Pharisees brought Jesus before the High Priest, Caiaphas.

And Caiaphas, the High Priest, questioned Jesus through the night.

And as soon as it was day, the high priest, and Pharisees,

and Elders came together,

and led Jesus into the Council of the Great Sanhedrin.

The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his doctrine.

Jesus answered him,

“I have spoken openly in the synagogue and in the temple, and in secret I have said nothing.”

“Why dost thou ask me? Ask them that heard me, what I have said to them. Behold, they know what I said.”

And when he had spoken thus, the Chief of the Temple Guard struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying,

“Dost thou answer the high priest in this way?”

Jesus answered him,

“If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil.

But, if I have spoken well, why dost thou smite me?

Annas then sent Jesus bound unto his son, Caiaphas, the high

At the last came two false witnesses who testified that:

“Jesus said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’”

And the high priest arose, and said unto Jesus:

“Dost thou have no answer in response to what these witnesses have said against thee?”

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest responded and said to him,

“I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.”

And Jesus responded,

“Thou dost say that I am.” “Nevertheless, I say unto you: ‘Hereafter, ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.’”

Then the high priest exploded in anger, saying,

“He hath spoken blasphemy! What further need have we of witnesses?”

The high priest spoke to the Pharisees, saying,

“Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy. What do you

    “When He had finished praying, Jesus left with His disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and He and His disciples went into it. Now Judas, who betrayed Him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples. So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them, ‘Who is it you want?’ ‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ they replied. ‘I am He,’ Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, ‘I am He,’ they drew back and fell to the ground. Again He asked them, ‘Who is it you want?’ And they said, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ ‘I told you that I am he,’ Jesus answered. ‘If you are looking for me, then let these men go.’ This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: ‘I have not lost one of those you gave me.’ Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, ‘Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?’ Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound Him and brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high…

    Chief priests and city elders of Jerusalem brought Jesus before Pilate to be trialed. Pilate ask Jesus if He was the King of the Jews and Jesus responded that he was. Jesus did not reply to any charge accused against Him and this amazed Pilate. Pilate followed the customs of the feast to release a single prisoner chosen by the crowd if they chose to condemn Jesus. The prisoner chosen was a man named Barabbas, a notorious criminal. Pilate asked the crowd which man they wanted set free: Jesus or Barabbas. The chief priests and elders had convinced the crowd to set Barabbas free and to execute Jesus, so when Pilate asked the question of who should be set free the crowd chose Barabbas. Pilate then asked what should he do to Jesus and the crowd responded with the sentence of crucifixion. Pilate could not find one thing wrong with Jesus or what he had done. Pilate found Jesus innocent and tried many times to convince the Jews that Jesus had done no harm. The crowd then said to Pilate that if he were to let the man go, then he would be no friend of Caesar because if Jesus claims to be a king then He opposes Caesar. After hearing this Pilate became fearful and handed Jesus over to the Jews to be crucified. Pilate washed his hands to show the crowd that he was innocent of this man's death. The crowd took full responsibility for Jesus' death and even put it on their children as well. Pilate…

The Rulers became very angry with Stephen, because he told the whole history of the Jewish people and he also accused men and their forefathers, of hurting and killing prophets, and Jesus. As Stephen stood before them, he looked up into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. He tried to tell them what he was seeing, but they did not want to hear it. They stone Stephen to death.…
