Numerous Jewish laws were broken during this trial. <strong>Truth<\/strong> had NOT been convicted of any crime but was tried in the home of Annas. They also tried to persuade <strong>Truth<\/strong> to self-accuse and <strong>Truth<\/strong> was illegally struck by one of the officers present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then <strong>Truth<\/strong> was sent bound to the current Jewish high priest, Caiaphas, who was the son-in-law of Annas. <strong>Truth<\/strong> stood before Caiaphas and the Jewish Sanhedrin as many false witnesses came to speak against <strong>Truth<\/strong>. However, none of their testimonies agreed and nothing was found to incriminate <strong>Truth<\/strong>. Caiaphas broke a number of Jewish laws that night; The trial was held in secret, it was held at night, bribery was involved, there was no one there to defend <strong>Truth<\/strong>, 2-3 witnesses with the same testimony were not present, and they carried out the death penalty the same day. <strong>Truth claimed to be God manifest in the flesh<\/strong> (<strong>Luke 22:70; John 1:14 NKJV<\/strong>) and for that was accused by Caiaphas of being a blasphemer and therefore worthy of death. The Jewish Sanhedrin could not legally carry out a death sentence and were forced to take <strong>Truth<\/strong> to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, &#8220;Are You the King of the Jews?&#8221; Jesus answered him, &#8220;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?<\/mark>&#8221; Pilate answered, &#8220;Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?&#8221; Jesus answered, &#8220;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.<\/mark>&#8221; Pilate therefore said to Him, &#8220;Are You a king then?&#8221; Jesus answered, &#8220;<code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.<\/mark><\/code>&#8221; Pilate said to Him, &#8220;<strong><em>What is truth<\/em><\/strong>?&#8221; And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, &#8220;<strong><em>I find no fault in Him at all<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;. (<strong>John 18:33-38 NKJV<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to that, Jesus was speaking to Thomas&#8230;.Jesus said to him, &#8220;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">I am the way, the truth, and the life.
