About this sermon

Luke, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, had his own way of constructing the material that was available to him, and he did it in a very deliberate fashion. His account of Christ before Annas, Caiaphas, and the council, which amounted to the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, is greatly abbreviated when compared with other accounts. Luke seems to take what appear to be three phases of Christ’s trials before the Jews and gives us a brief account that condenses those three into one account. He wants us to see that prior to the condemnation of Jesus, Jesus gave a clear testimony of His own identity before men who would reject Him and condemn Him.
