After being arrested, the Truth was first led to a man named Annas, a corrupt former high priest of the Jews. Annas broke numerous Jewish laws during the trial, including holding the trial in his house, trying to induce self-accusations against the defendant, and striking the defendant, who had been convicted of nothing at the time.
Si Annas ay lumabag sa maraming batas ng mga Hudyo sa panahon ng paglilitis, kasama na rito ang pagsasagawa ng paglilitis sa kanyang bahay, paghihikayat sa nasasakdal upang idiin ang sarili at paghatol sa nasasakdal na hindi pa naman napapatunayang nagkasala.
