Jesus was taken to trial because Judas betrayed Him and handed Jesus over ot the Priests, who sent Him to the Sanhedrin. He was later sent to Roman governer Pontius Pilate who handed Him over to be crucified.

Answer:

Because He "allowed" it:

"Do you think I cannot call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?" (Matt.26:53-54 NIV)

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.

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.


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.

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 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.


Were the apostles John and Paul in attendance at the trial of Jesus?

According to Acts of the Apostles, Paul spent his childhood in Jerusalem, learning under the famous Gamaliel I, so, on that evidence, he could have been at the trial of Jesus. However, scholars say that there is no evidence in any of the epistles that he was in Jerusalem during the lifetime of Jesus, in which case he could not have been present at the trial. Certainly, Paul never mentions having seen Jesus before his crucifixion. The gospels do not mention John as in attendance at the trial of Jesus. .
