Day 41- The Trial Before Caiaphas
Day 41- The Trial Before Caiaphas
Caiphas was the High Priest of the Jews. The religious Jews had to go through him first. In the middle of the night they drag Jesus into his house to stand before Him in judgment. According to the Old Testament Law, a court had to be convened during the day. Even now, their hypocrisy was blatant, they were accusing Jesus of breaking the Law and yet were doing the same by holding court by the cover of night. His disciples have scattered into the cover of night. The fear of the religious Jews and Roman judgment was too much for Peter. Jesus' prophecy came to pass and Peter wept bitterly.
