Jesus was never found truly guilty of anything.
Pilate, who was worried about his political position, just gave in to Jewish demands, though he found 'no fault with him'(John 19:6-16). Jesus was illegally tried and condemned on a charge of blasphemy by the Sanhedrin (Matthew 26:59-66) (Mark 14:61-64), but since the Jews were worried about the people rioting if they killed Jesus(Matt. 26:4, 5), and they had no authority from Rome to carry out a death sentence on secular grounds(John 18:31), the Jewish leaders wanted Rome to do the killing, so changed their charge to 'sedition' (throwing in false witnesses as 'proof')when they approached Pilate (John 18:29-19:16)(John 19:10). "Sedition" means promoting or taking part in dissension that often includes violence(Acts 23:7, 10) . Under Roman law, it carried the death sentence. Pilate, fearful of what a riot among the Jews would do to his relationship with Rome, passed his judgment, and the Jewish religious leaders got their way and fulfilled prophecy.(Galatians 3:13, 16) (Ps 22)(Isaiah 53:9) (Psalm 22:16).(Psalm 118:22)(Isaiah 50:6)(Isaiah 53:8)(Daniel 9:26)
Justice in the court system is dependent on the people who are in charge of operating it.
The court has enough evidence to indict you for robbery. Pronounced in-dEYEt. Means to charge or accuse.
No location (town/city/county) is given. Several courts COULD have jurisdciction: Justice of the Peace Court - Magistrate's Court - Municipal Court - County Court. It all depends on what ordnance or statute you were charged with, and/or whether an appropriate level of local court exists where you were charged.
No, this is a procedure used in criminal court when the prosecutor tries to get the defendant to plead guilty to the charge in order to get a lesser charge than a maximum sentence.
Pontius Pilate did not want to have Jesus crucified. The Sanhedrin (a Jewish priestly court) accused Jesus of blasphemy in relation to Mosaic Law. Some of its members brought Jesus before Pilates accusing him of sedition against Rome for opposing the payment of taxes and for saying that he was a king. Pilates did not think that Jesus was a threat. He tried to save Jesus by using a custom of releasing one prisoner for Passover (a Jewish festival). He brought Barabbas, a criminal and told the crowd to choose between him and Jesus. The crowd demanded Barabbas to be freed and Jesus to be crucified.
Yes. Why did you think the judge couldn't?
The evidence was only circumstancial so it was very hard for the police to charge him with the crime and it would be unlikely to stand up in court.
I am sensing no small amount of contempt in your voice. One more outburst and I will charge you with contempt of court. That's it, you are in contempt! Bailiff, remove the defendant from my court!
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..
The person in charge of a county court - is a Magistrate.
In a Jewish temple, particularly the ancient Temple in Jerusalem, the main four courts are the Outer Court, the Court of Women, the Court of Israel, and the Court of the Priests. The Outer Court was accessible to all, including Gentiles, while the Court of Women allowed Jewish women to enter. The Court of Israel was designated for Jewish men, and the Court of the Priests was reserved for the priests performing rituals and sacrifices. Each court had specific purposes and restrictions based on gender and status.
On what court?
