gate having in some way been shut. v
II. "Art thou also one of this mans
disciples 2" The R. v, leaves out the not
"He saith: I am not:" This was both
falsehood and treason to his Master
and the new kingdom.
III. The Preliminary Examination
Before Annas.--vs. 1928. 10. "The high
priest:" Annas. Jesus was led first to
Annas, because, though deposed by
Rome, he was still the legitimate high
priest, according to the law of Moses,
the Office being for life (Num. 20 :2s; IS:
25), and may have been 80 regarded by
the Jews. v. 20. "Jesus answered him, I
spake openly" etc. Greek, have
spoken. They seek to wiring from
Christ evidence upon which to convict
him. It was contrary to the law and
the spirit of Justice. ". 21. "Why askest
thou Me?". Jesus refused to be a party
to this injustice. v. 20. zone of the off,

tween two and four o'clock Friday

correct: "Annas therefore sent Him
bound unto Caiaphas." Caiaphas, a. the
