Jesus before the Sanhedrin - Luke 22:66-71 - N. T. - 

When day broke there was a meeting of the elders of the people, attended by the chief priests and scribes. Jesus was brought before their council, and they said to him, 'If you are the Christ, tell us'. 'If I tell you,' he replied 'you will not believe me, and if I question you, you will not answer. But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.' Then they all said, 'So you are the Son of God then?' Jesus answered, 'It is you who say I am'. 'What need of witnesses have we now?' they said. 'We have heard it for ourselves from his own lips.'

Cf. - Matthew 26:57-66; 27:2; Mark 14:53-64; 15:1 - N. T. - They led Jesus off to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes assembled there. Peter followed Jesus at a distance, right into the high priest's palace, and was sitting with the attendants warming himself at the fire. 

The chief priests and the whole of Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus on which they might pass the death-sentence. But they could not find any. Several, indeed, brought false evidence against him, but their evidence was conflicting. Some stood up and submitted this false evidence against Jesus, 'We heard him say, "I am going to destroy this Temple made by human hands, and in three days build another, not made by human hands"'.

But even on this point their evidence was conflicting. The high priests then stood up before the whole assembly and put this question to Jesus, 'Have you no answer to that? What is this evidence these men are bringing against you?' But Jesus was silent and made no answer at all. The high priests put a second question to him, 'Are you the Christ,' he said 'the Son of the Blessed One?' 'I am,' said Jesus 'and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.' The high priest tore his robes, 'What need of witnesses have we now?' he said. 'You heard the blasphemy. What is your finding?' And they all gave their verdict: he deserved to die.

Some of them started spitting at him and, blindfolding him, began hitting him with their fists and shouting, 'Play the prophet!' And the attendants rained blows on him.

Cf. - John 10:24-26- N. T. - The Jew gathered round him and said, 'How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.' Jesus replied: 'I have told you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name are my witness; but you do not believe, because you are no sheep of mine.

Cf. - Psalms 110:1 - O. T. - Yahweh's oracle to you, my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand and I will make your enemies a footstool for you'.  

Cf. - Wisdom 2:14 - O. T. - My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock, in the coverts of the cliff, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is beautiful.

Cf. - Matthew 4:3-10 - N. T. - 'If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves'. But Jesus replied, 'Scripture says: Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God'. The devil then took Jesus to the holy city and made him stand on the parapet of the Temple. 'If you are the Son of God' he said 'throw yourself down; for scripture says: he will put you in his angels' charge, and they will support you on their hands in case you hurt your foot against a stone'. Jesus said to him, 'Scripture also says: You must not put the Lord your God to the test'. Next, taking Jesus to a very high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. 'I will give you all these' he said 'if you at my feet and worship me.' Then Jesus replied, 'Be off, Satan! For scripture says: You must worship the Lord your God, and serve him alone.'  

Cf. - John 10:30-35 - N. T. - The Father and I are one. The Jews fetched stones to stone him, so Jesus said to them, 'I have done many good works for you to see, works from my Father; for which of these are you stoning me?' The Jews answered him, 'We are not stoning you for doing a good work but for blasphemy: you are only a man and you claim to be God'. Is it not written in your Law: I said, you are gods? So the Law uses the word gods of those to whom the word of God was addressed, and scripture cannot be rejected. 

Jesus before Pilate - Luke 23:1-7 - N. T. - 

The whole assembly then rose, and they brought him before Pilate. They began their accusation by saying, 'We found this man inciting our people to revolt, opposing payment of the tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be Christ, a king'. Pilate put to him this question, 'Are you the king of the Jews?' 'It is you who say it' Jesus replied. Pilate then said to the chief priests and the crowd, 'I find no case against this man'. But they persisted, 'He is inflaming the people with his teaching all over Judaea; it has come all the way from Galilee, where he started, down to here'. When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man were a Galilean; and finding that he came under Herod's jurisdiction he passed him over to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

Cf. - Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:2-5; John 18: 28-40 - N. T. - Pilate questioned Jesus, 'Are you the king of the Jews?' 'It is you who say it' Jesus answered. And the chief priests brought many accusations against him. Pilate questioned him again. 'Have you no reply at all? See how many accusations they are bringing against you!' But, to Pilate's amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

Cf. - Luke 20:20-26 -

Cf. - Acts 17:5-9, 24:5 - N. T. - The Jews, full of resentment, enlisted the help of a gang from the market place, stirred up a crowd, and soon had the whole city in an uproar. they made for Jason's house, hoping to find them and drag them off to the People's Assembly; however, they only found Jason and some of the brothers, and these they dragged before the city council, shouting, 'The people who have been turning the whole world upside down have come here now; they have been staying at Jason's. They have broken every one of Caesar's edicts by claiming that there is another emperor, Jesus.' This accusation alarmed the citizens and the city councillors and they made Jason and the rest give security before setting them free.

Cf. - Luke 4:44+ - 

Cf. - Acts 3:14-15 - N. T. - It was you who accused the Holy One, the Just One, you who demanded the reprieve of a murderer while you killed the prince of life.
