TIME. The trials before the high priest,
with the mockeries, and the denials ;
Peter, lasted from about two o'clock till
dawn of Friday, April 7. A. D. 3"
PLACE. 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.
