Notes

Matthew 26:67–68

This abuse fulfills the prophecies in Isaiah 50:6 and 53:4–9. Jesus himself prophesied these things (Matthew 16:21; 17:22–23; 20:18–19; 26:2; see also Mark 14:65).

Matthew 26:57–68

This hearing was probably an informal meeting to agree on the charges. The Jewish leaders faced pressure to keep the hearing secret to avoid a riot (see Matthew 21:26, 46; 26:5, 55; John 11:45–53).

Matthew 26:57–27:26

The Gospels describe Jesus having five legal hearings:

an informal hearing with Annas (John 18:13–24);
a night hearing with the Sanhedrin (Matthew 26:59–66);
a morning hearing with the Sanhedrin (Matthew 27:1–2);
a hearing with Herod Antipas (Luke 23:6–12); and
a two-part trial with Pilate (Matthew 27:11–31; see Luke 23:6–12).

These hearings form two main trials, a Jewish trial and a Roman trial.
