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.
Was Caiaphas a Sanhedrin?
Caiaphas was not a member of the Sanhedrin but served as the high priest in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus. The Sanhedrin was the supreme council and tribunal of the Jews, and as high priest, Caiaphas played a significant role within it, particularly in the trial of Jesus. His position allowed him to influence the council's decisions and actions.
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.

What was the relationship between Jesus and the Sanhedrin?
Jesus had no formal relationship with the Sanhedrin. To the Sanhedrin Jesus was a problem His popularity with people, His miracles and His claims to authority made the religious officials in Jerusalem nervous; Jesus' approach to Sabbath practice, healings, exorcisms, and sinners ended up challenging the existing religious structure of Judaism. So members of the Sanhedrin plotted to get rid of Jesus. Matthew 26:59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,
Why didn't the Jewish majority stop the Sanhedrin from condemning Jesus?
Because that is something that never happened. The complete lack of record of Jesus in the Talmud highlights that he was of no concern to the Sanhedrin.
Why was Jesus taken to the Sanhedrin after his arrest?
The answer is in the synoptic gospels, Jesus was taken to the Jewish religious court, the Sanhedrin, so that it could determine the charges against Jesus to be brought to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. The author of John's Gospel was aware that the Sanhedrin would never have sat at night to try Jesus, so changed this. In John, Jesus was brought to the home of Annas, father-in-law to Caiaphas, the high priest John 18:13). Annas interrogated Jesus and then sent him to the house of Caiaphas (John 18:24), who in turn sent him for trial under Pontius Pilate..
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.
