The Jewish leaders wanted to get rid of Jesus, but they faced a difficult situation. Under Roman rule, they did not have the authority to execute Jesus as they wished. Instead, they had to fabricate false charges to involve the Romans. Today, Pastor Terry describes the events leading up to Jesus’s wrongful trial. The trial itself was not a legal proceeding; there were false testimonies, and Pilate attempted to distance himself from the process. As a result, Jesus was unjustly tried and convicted.
