Events 'riioyed rapidly after Je
'Sui ahtl fee eleven disciples came
flown from the Upper. Room after
the Lord's Supper. There was the
trip to -Mount Olivet !for prayer.
The ig&iy of Jesus' fn the Garden
of Gethsefnane was followed by
his betrayaj by. Judas, and his ar
rest by the soldiers, who bound him
and took 'him into the city for trial.
Upon the arrest of Jesus, his dis
ciples abandoned him, and only Pe
ter followed tiim at H 'distance, as
they carried nim off. John -soon,
came back aYid, knowing the Hiffh.
Priest,; Was 'admitted into the
house.; Then he secured admittancei
for Peter, who, in his anixety to i
be near Jesus, gave way to weak
ness and denied three times tiis ac
quaintance with him. As Jesus
looked reproachfully at "him, Peter'
brown down and fled weeping. He;
Was iater forgiven by 'Jeus and.
restored to favor and leadership, be
coming the great leader of the '
Apostles. (
Jesus had three trials by the?
Jewish authorities. He was first;
carried before Annas, recognized,
by 'the Jews as the lawful. High'
Priest,"; although he"hadbeen re-'
moved by ..the Romans. Luster In
the Viight, Jesus was earried be
fore Caiaphas, and a few mem-i
bers of the Sanhedrin, who had
been hastily summoned. Soon af
ter sunrise, on. the following Imorn
iiigi he was aain placed 'before 'a :
larger 'gathering of ' the Sanhedrin,
constituting a quorum. 'By thesei
authorities, he was condemned to
death by blasphemy, hbtwithatandi-.
ing the fact that Jewish law, prOH
vided that no trial could Je held ut
hight, nor could one be condemned
to death on the same day as his
trial;, flfV-vj, .-. . tv:.;ii:?i V.S.'' ;4
Since the Jews were not allow
ed to 'wccute' criminals, it was ne
cessary that charges he preferred
against V Jesus before the Etonian
authorities, who alone could have-
nim execuiea. r.any r noay morn
ing, Jesus Was carried before Pi
late, the Roman 'Governor of Ju
dea,.a man 'pidfured to us by those
who knew him as cruel, selfish and
corrupt. As Pilate 'Would, hot be
Interested fn any ecclesiastical ac-
cusationt the . Jews changed -their
charges agfeinst Jesus.! They told
Pilate that Jesus had pretended to
be king, and had advised against
the payment of- taxes. to Rome.
Even Pilate realized that this was
a subterfuge, because such a po
sition would have provoked the ap
proval Of the jJeWs. Pilate had no
desire to dispose of audi a problem,'
" so quite (Conveniently h6 Vecalled
that Herod Antipas, thejGovernor
of Galilee, was, like himself, a
Visitor to Jerusalem for the Pass
over. ; ' . ,
Therefore, Pflate told the Jews
to tfarry Jesus before Herod. Thus,
Jesus came face -to face with the
murderer of John the Baptist, who
himself was curious 'to see this
prophet of whom io'many had spo
ken. Jesus refused to answer no
questions ut to him by Hero4, and
also performed no miracle, to Her
od's chagrin. Herod thereupon had
him arrayed In a fine robe and
mocked. ' '
Jesus was 'then carried back to
Pilate, who Knew that the dispute
was over spiritual matters and felt
that Jesus was innocent of wrong
doing. He had 'bee'n warned by his
wife's dream tj have nothing to do
With sentencing this innocent man,
and he wished to set Jesus freebut
was without the courage to do so. j
He tried various, expedients to ac
complish lihj purpose.,. He had Je
sus wourgeij and presented to his
accusers a Jiufferlng' and bleeding
spedtadle, biijt ;lt brought no pity.
Remember)hg W clustom to free a
prisoner during the Passover fes
tival, ftlaie hoped that this Would
afford him a loophole, but the en
emies of Jesus insisted that an in
surrectionist, named Barrabus, be
freed and Jesus condemned.
Symbolically Washing his hands,
Pilate allowed the Jews to proceed
with their plans. No one Knows
for certain the exact location of the
scene of tbe 'Cruci'nkion. Chivalry,
