How many times was Jesus on trial?

Answer 1

one

1. By Satan, 2. by Herod, 3. by the Jews 4. By Rome 5. By the Samaritans 6. by Jehovah who gave the victory to His son Jesus.

ANSWER

Jesus underwent many, many trials by Satan but this isn't what this question is about. It is about the trials of Man, not Satan.

.

After His arrest, Jesus underwent 6 trials before man. . Three of the trials were religious, and three were civil - and each one of them was illegal because they each broke different components of Jewish Law.

1. The first trial was before Annas, the former High Priest. Annas wanted to know Jesus' intentions.

2. .The next trial was before Caiaphas. He was the current High Priest and Annas' son-in-law. Caiaphas sought to "find some kind of charge that they could bring against Jesus." In other words, "What can we find wrong with Him?"

3. The next trial was the "official" one. It was held in the daytime at the Council Chamber, with all the Sanhedrin and everything! (Luke 22:66-71)

4. The 4th trial was before Pilate. The Jews were "supposedly" bringing Jesus to Pilate out of concern for the civil law. They said, "We found this man misleading our nation, and forbidding people to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He, Himself is Christ, a King!" In other words, "We just thought you ought to know."

5. The 5th trial that took place was before King Herod Antipas. Herod never really cared who Jesus was; he just wanted Jesus to "perform."

6. For the last trial Jesus was brought back to Pilate. This trial should really make us think. Pilate has just about "had it" with this crew of priests and scribes. Pilate was truly afraid that Jesus was God, but he was more afraid of Caesar than he was of God.

Of the 6 trials, the 2 before Pilate were definitely Roman, but it can also be argued that there were actually 3 Roman trials because Herod Antipas had been appointed tetrarch of Galilee and Perea by the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar.
