The reeldence of the high priest, the site of which Is not known wttti certainty, but many think It was In tht southwestern part of the city, on Zlon, near David's tomb. LESSON EXPOSITION. The Two Trials. Jesus endured two trials. L The first before the Jewish authorities, who, having decided to destroy Jesus, must formulate some charge against Him. the punishment uf which was death. 8. The second he fore the ltoman authorities, who alone could inflict the death iienalty. I tews hoped tlsnt this would be a men formality, the ltoinaiai accepting ass Hoi est the decision of the Jewish court The first of these is the subject of to day's lcsson This trial, as in the tr before l'ilutc, consisted of three Be pa rate stages or acts: (a) The preJin nary examination before the hi;;h priests (regarded by many as the trial recorded bv John), fb) The informal trial before Caisphu nud members the Sanhedrim (regarded by many as that recorded in Matthew nnd Marl (e) The formal coiu'emnnt ion lit a n ular meeting of the Sanhedrim, regur ed by many ns the trial reeortled lij Luke). In connection with these were the denials by Peter, and the umckcr of Jesus, I. The Arrival at the Palace of the Hiirb Priest (John IS: 13, 14; Matt 20:i7; I. like 83:54). Early Prii morning between one and two o'cloil It is probable that Annas nnd Caiaphas occupied different portions of the sa:ii palace, situated probably ba the sow! western corner of the city on Mom Zion, near the tomb of David, nnd tfca here, too, was held the irregular mei ing of the members of the ijanhedri; hastily summoned from their homes i the middle of the night for this pur pose. II. Peter's First Denial. Vs. 15-1 IS. "Peter followed Jesus:" Be f lowed afar off (Matt. 20-58). "Anoth. disciple:" John, who went with tl crowd throuch the irate, for he "was known unto the high priest," anil "therefore probably was acquainted with the palace and knew the sen ants." v. 10. "Hut Peter stood (was standinffl at the door:" The wicket pate having in some way been shut. V 17. "Art thou also one of this man's disciples?" The It. V. leaves out them "He laitbl I um not:" This was be falsehood nnd treason to his Master and the new kingdom. III. The Preliminary Examination Before Annas. Vs. 19-23. 19. "The high priest:" Annas. Jesus was led first to Annas, because, thouirh deposed lv Home, he was still the legitimate high priest) according to the law of Moses the office being for life (Xuiu. 20:28; 35: 25), and may have been so regarded by the Jews. V. 20. "Jesus answered him, 1 snake ooenlv." etc. Greek. I have spoken. They seek to wring from Christ evidence upon which to convict him. It was contrary to the law ami the soirit of iustice. V. 21. "Why uskest thou Me?" Jesus refused to be a party to this injustice. V. 22. "Oneof theofii cers . . . struck Jesus with the pain of his hand:" 1!. V.,"with his hand," lit erallv.gave Jesusastroke or blow. V.22 "If 1 have spoken evil:" In manner or mutter, in the remark just made. IV. The Irrepulnr Trial Uefare Cm nphiis and the Sanhedrim. V. 24. Be tween two and four o'clock Friday morning! probably in the palace of ( aiaphas. V. 24. "Now Annas had sent him," etc.: The It. V. is here probably correct: "Annas therefore sent Him boan4 untoCaiaphus." Caiaphas, as th real high priest, was president of th Sanhedrim, who had had time to nt, enable. Dot the trial was irregular.bt cause it was ngainHt their law to try an one by night. This trial in probably the one recorded by Matthew and Mark. 1 The charge was blasphemy, the pcnalt;. for which win death, according to Jew lshlaw. 2. The witnesses were two men who perverted a saying of Jesus, an 1 even these did not agree. J. I he sen tence was pronounced, the charge be ing confirmed by Jesus witness to th truth when He could keep silence D longer, because, bung put uiukroatl His silence might-be construed ns a withdrawal of His claims. V. Mockery of Jesus. In the court of Caiaphas' palace. After the adjourn ment of the irregular trial. Prom three to live o'clock Friday morning (Matt 20:07, OS; Mark 14:05; Luke 22:03-05). VI. Peter's Later Denials and llepent- nnee. Vs. 25-27. During the trial, or iiossibly the last one during the mock cries. Peter's repentance. Then Peter saw himself as he was. He looked into the abyss into which he had almost fall eu. and recovered himself. He went out and wept bitterly (Luke 22:02) How Christ restored Peter is recorded in the last chapter of John. VII. The Formal Condemnation of Jesus by the Sanhedrim. Recorded by Luke (22:60-71). At dawn, Friday morn ing. PRACTICAL. When men are predetermined on a course against religion, or Christ, or the Bible, no arguments, however true arc of any avail. Peter's fall is recorded, because the Gospel scorns to deny the actual de fects of good men, because tne truth is helpful to others who fall, showing the possibility of recovery. ' The denial of Peter does not mean! that he Intended to renounce Jesus in wardly, but that he designed, to escape a mortal peril by means of a so-called white He. i-5 !!.-. '
