Did Jesus have a trial before the Sanhedrim?
Synoptics: He had ([Matt. xxvi, 57–75]; [Mark xiv, 53–72]; [Luke xxii, 54–71]).
It was about this time (30 A. D.), that the Sanhedrim ceased to have jurisdiction over capital offenses. After its jurisdiction ceased Jesus could not have been tried before it; and before its jurisdiction ceased he would not have had a subsequent trial before Pilate.
