“Jesus spent about three hours at the palace of Annas on Mount Olivet, not far from the garden of Gethsemane.” After this interrogation, Annas sent Jesus to the palace of Caiaphas, the current high priest, who had called the Sanhedrist court of inquiry together in order to put Jesus on trial. When the court was finished with the hearing, they had drawn up an indictment of Jesus as being worthy of death. Finally, “Jesus was led from the home of Caiaphas to appear before Pilate for confirmation of the sentence of death which this Sanhedrist court had so unjustly and irregularly decreed.”
