Question on: JSS2 Christian Religious Studies (CRS) - The trial of Christ II
What charges were leveled against Jesus at each stage.
1. Before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin (Jewish Council)
Blasphemy: The main charge against Jesus was blasphemy. The Jewish leaders accused Him of claiming to be the Son of God, which they considered a severe offense against their religious laws.
2. Before Pilate (Roman Governor)
King of the Jews: The Jewish leaders brought Jesus to Pilate with the accusation that Jesus claimed to be the King of the Jews. This charge was framed to suggest that Jesus was a political threat to Roman authority.
3. Before Herod (Tetrarch of Galilee)
No Formal Charges: When Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, the Jewish leaders didn't present new formal charges. Herod was mainly curious about Jesus and wanted to see Him perform a miracle.
4. Final Trial Before Pilate
Pressure from the Crowd: The Jewish leaders and the crowd continued to press the charge of Jesus being a political threat by claiming He called Himself the King of the Jews.
