Wood Plaque Premium - Scriptural Stations of the Cross 03 - Jesus is Accused by the Sanhedrin by J. Lonneman

Those who had apprehended Jesus led him off to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders were convened. The chief priests, with the whole Sanhedrin, were busy trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death. They discovered none, despite the many false witnesses who took the stand. Finally two came forward who stated: “This man has declared, ‘I can destroy God’s sanctuary and rebuild it in three days.’” The high priest rose to his feet and addressed him: “Have you no answer to the testimony leveled against you?” But Jesus remained silent.
