 JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 25: THE UNJUST TRIBUNAL@TysonPutthoff | #JesusX30Challenge #JesusX30 #JX30Challenge 1. Key Texts• John 18 — Annas’ questioning, Peter’s denial• Matthew 26–27 — Trial before Caiaphas & Pilate• Mark 14–15 — Sanhedrin, Barabbas, mockery• Luke 22–23 — Jesus before Pilate and Herod• Daniel 7 — “Son of Man” enthronement imagery2. Date & Place• Passover Week, Spring 29 AD.• Locations: Annas’ courtyard, Caiaphas’ house, Sanhedrin chamber, Roman Praetorium.• A coordinated series of hearings—religious and political—designed to neutralize Jesus before the festival crowds.3. Main AccountA. Before Annas (John 18:13–24)• Not a legal trial—an interrogation for leverage.• Questions aim to expose Jesus’ network and teaching.• Jesus points to his public ministry; a guard strikes him.• Even under intimidation, Jesus stays composed.B. Before Caiaphas & the Sanhedrin (Matt 26; Mark 14)• Night trial violates Jewish legal norms.• Contradictory witnesses fail; charges collapse.• Direct question: “Are you the Messiah, the Son of God?”• Jesus replies with Daniel 7 imagery—claiming divine authority.• Council declares blasphemy; decision is predetermined.C. Peter’s Denials (Matt 26; Luke 22)• Three denials fulfill Jesus’ prediction.• Luke records Jesus turning and looking at Peter—mercy in the middle of collapse.• Even betrayal becomes a place for restoration.D. Before Pilate (Matt 27; John 18)• Accusation shifts from blasphemy to sedition: “He claims to be a king.”• Jesus answers with quiet ambiguity: “You say so.”• Pilate sees no guilt but fears political fallout.E. Before Herod (Luke 23:6–12)• Herod wants spectacle; Jesus remains silent.• Mockery, robe, and ridicule follow.• Herod and Pilate become allies—united by indifference to justice.F. Barabbas or Jesus (Matt 27; Mark 15)• Crowd chooses Barabbas—a violent revolutionary.• Jesus, a nonviolent revolutionary, is rejected.• The choice reveals the human preference for force over faithful courage.G. Mockery & Sentencing (John 19)• Soldiers crown him with thorns and hail him “King.”• Pilate: “Behold the man!”—a line meant to shame but filled with truth.• Priests declare, “We have no king but Caesar.”• Political expediency outweighs conscience: crucifixion authorized.4. Main Point• Jesus faces corruption with grounded clarity.• His silence is strength, not defeat—trusting the Father’s justice.• Every institution in the story bends to fear; Jesus alone stays centered.• Power is exposed by how it treats the innocent.• True authority is revealed through integrity under pressure.5. Exegetical Insight• Jesus’ Daniel 7 reference makes a direct claim to divine enthronement.• Barabbas = lēstēs (“insurrectionist”), not “thief”—a political rebel.• “You say so” is a Semitic idiom meaning, “Your categories can’t contain the truth.”• The Sanhedrin trial violates Mishnah-sanctioned procedures—showing the verdict was predetermined.6. Reflection Questions• How do I respond when I’m misunderstood or falsely accused?• Do I mirror aggression, or stay grounded in purpose?• Where might God be inviting restraint instead of reaction?• When have I chosen “Barabbas”—force or control—over Jesus’ way of courage?7. Action Step / Challenge• Practice “response over reaction”—pause before responding to pressure.• Name one situation where you need to choose integrity over outcome.• Journal about where you feel injustice and how Jesus models strength without retaliation.
