Christ had to be condemned to death by Pilate, the Roman governor, because the Jewish leaders did not have legal authority under Roman law to condemn a criminal to death.

Where in the Bible is the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin?
A:The trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin is in the synoptic gospels: Matthew 26:57-66, Mark 14:53-64, Luke 22:66-71. In Matthew and Mark, the trial takes place soon after Jesus is arrested at midnight, but in Luke the priests wait until daybreak, since the Sanhedrin would never have met during hours of darkness to try Jesus. John's Gospel does not have a trial before the Sanhedrin, but has Jesus taken first to the house of Annas, father-in-law to the high priest, who interrogated him alone. Then Jesus was taken to the house of the high priest, Caiaphas, who again interviewed Jesus alone.
What events lead to Jesus' death?
In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) the event that triggered the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the cleansing of the temple. On the evening of the Passover, Jesus and the disciples celebrated with a ritual meal, known as the Last Supper, then went to the Garden of Gethsemene to pray. Here, Judas betrayed Jesus, who was arrested and taken before the Sanhedrin court then before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, because the Sanhedrin could not pass a sentence of death. In Luke's Gospel, Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas for sentencing, which Herod refused to do, leaving Pilate to pass sentence.In John's Gospel, the event that triggered the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the resurrection of Lazarus, with the pharisees and the priests saying that the whole world is following Jesus. On the evening before the Passover, Jesus and the disciples met for a simple meal and Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. Jesus then went to the brook of Cedron to pray. Here, Judas betrayed Jesus, who was arrested and taken before Annas, then separately to Caiaphas, because the Sanhedrin never met during the hours of darkness. They then took him before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate for sentencing.
Why was Jesus taken to the Sanhedrin after his arrest?
Jesus was taken to the Sanhedrin after his arrest because the Jewish religious leaders wanted to question him about his teachings and perceived blasphemous claims. They sought to find evidence to charge him with crimes punishable by Roman law.
What trials did Jesus face before His death on the cross?
A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus was tried before the Sanhedrin, or Jewish religious court, then taken to Pontius Pilate for trial before the Roman governor. The author of John's Gospel realised that the Sanhedrin would never have sat during the hours of darkness to try Jesus, so had Jesus taken to the house of Annas (John 18:13), who interrogated Jesus and then sent him to the house of his son-in-law Caiaphas (John 18:24), and then Jesus was taken to the hall of judgement to be tried by Pontius Pilate.
Where did they take Jesus on Friday Morning?
The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) say that they took Jesus to the Sanhedrin for trial at 3:00 o'clock in the morning, then to Pontius Pilate at 6:00 o'clock. After his trial, he was taken to Calvary for crucifixion and placed on the cross at 9:00 o'clock.John's Gospel is in basic agreement, but the author recognised that the Sanhedrin would never have met during hours of darkness to try Jesus, resolving this by eliminating the first trial and merely having Jesus taken separately before Annas and then Caiaphas, before being taken to Pontius Pilate.
Why did the romans want jesus?
The Romans did not want Jesus. Jesus was taken to Poltius Pilates, the Roman governor of Judea by the Jewish judges of the Sanhedrin. They considered Jeusus to be a blasphemous heretic and wanted the Romans to execute him.
What roman official was jesus taken before?
Jesus went before Pontius Pilate.
How many trials did Jesus have and how long did each last?
Mark's Gospel, followed by Matthew and Luke, says that the betrayal and arrest of Jesus occurred at the darkest hour - midnight. Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders at 3am in the morning. Jesus was then led away for a second trial by Pontius Pilate "when it was morning', at 6am. Mark says that it was "the third hour" - 9 am - when they crucified him. So, there were two trials and each trial must have taken something less than three hours.Notwithstanding that, it was the practice in compliance with the Torah not to sit in judgement except in the light of day. John's Gospel resolves this problem by not having a formal trial by the Sanhedrin, simply having Jesus brought first to Annas, then to Caiaphas, before being taken to Pontius Pilate. So, John's Gospel has only one trial of Jesus.
When did Jesus get aressted by Annas and Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate?
Matthew 26:57 says that after jesus was arrested they took him away to Caiphas first. John 28:13 says that after Jesus was arrested they took him away to Annas first. After Jesus was examined by either Caiphas (Luke 26) or by Annas (John 28), He was then brought to the Sanhedrin. After the Sanhedrin, Jesus was brought to Pontius Pilate. After Pontius Pilate, Jesus was taken to Herod, tetrarch off Galilee, who was attending the Passover at Jerusalem.
Who was the high priest and leader of the sanhedrin who put Jesus to death?
Caiaphas was the High Priest at the time of Jesus' death (Matthew 26:57). In the Gospel of John 18:12-14, we see that Jesus was taken first to Annas. Annas had been the High Priest from A.D. 6-15. Annas was still a powerful man and many still considered him High Priest. Caiaphas was Annas' son-in-law. Also 5 of Annas' sons were High Priest at one time or another. This once priestly office was contaminated greatly politically. Jesus was taken to Annas first to stall for time so that the full Sanhedrin could be gathered at Caiaphas' house for the trial of Jesus.
How can a person be taken into custody?
Arrest and arrest warrants are two ways that a person can be taken into custody.
Where was Jesus taken first for his trial?
His first trial was by Annas and then the High Priest Caiaphas after being sent to him by Annas - Caiaphas' father-in-law. This took place in the courtyard of the High Priest's house near the temple precincts. Next he was sent to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, in his palace within the walls of the city. Realising that Jesus was innocent he passed the buck to Herod, the puppet King, as Jesus was a Galilean and therefore under Herod's jurisdiction. So the next trial took place in Herod's palace. Unfortunately for the religious leaders the death sentence was permitted only with the permission of Pilate. Finally Jesus was sent back to Pilate at his palace for the trial that would result in his crucifixion.
