The Six Trials of Jesus Christ  

First trial, before Annas [nightime hours]; Annas is looking for an accusation, biding time till Sanhedrin is gathered at High Priest villa 

John 18:13  And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year. 

Second [and primary] trial before Sanhedrin, Jesus is condemned, misused. 

John 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine. 

Third trial, immediately at dawn [meanwhile, Peter denies Jesus a third time, then Jesus taken to Romans 

John 18:27-28 Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.  (28)  Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. 

Judas returned 30 Pieces of Silver and then hanged himself 

Matthew 27:3-5 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,  (4)  saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"  (5)  Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. 

Fourth trial before Pilate [till "beginning at Galilee"] 

John 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 

Fifth trial before Herod [looks for miracle] 

Luke 23:7  And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 

6th trial before Pilate  

Luke 23:23-24 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.  (24)  So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. 

The Crucifixion 

Jesus is scourged; the city cries, "Crucify Him or we will tell Rome!" 

            John19:1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 

John 19:15 But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

Cast lots for the tunic 

John 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "THEY DIVIDED MY GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS." Therefore the soldiers did these things. 

"Woman, Mary His mother, behold thy son..."  

John 19:26-27 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"  (27)  Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. 

Area Darknes 6th to 9th Hour 

Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 

"My God, My God..." 

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

All things were accomplished, said "I thirst" 

John 19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!"

Jesus' side pierced 

John 19:33-34  But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.  (34)  But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 

Jesus body was taken down from the Cross 

Luke 23:52-53 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.  (53)  Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before. 

Buried in the tomb before sunset 

John 19:40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 

Body wrapped in clean linen cloth

Matthew 27:63 saying, "Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise.' 

Matthew 27:65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how." 

Nisan 17 – Sabbath (weekly) 

Jesus Resurrected before sunset, before Sunday night (time is not given in the Scriptures.  

Nisan 18 – Sunday night 

This ceremony is called, the Wave Sheaf Offering. 

This day is called, the beginning of the harvest, sometimes confusingly called Feast of Firstfruits, related to Pentecost 

Let’s turn to the book of Leviticus, covering The Feast of Firstfruits. 

Leviticus 23:9-10 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,  (10)  "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 

Notice, this did not start until they enter and settle in the land of Canaan 

The weekly Sabbath day following the First Day of Unleavened Bread was a time to give the firstfruits of the harvest to God. The idea was to dedicate the first ripened stalks of grain to God, in anticipation of a greater harvest to come.  Field represents the world, Firstfruits is us, First of the Firstfruits – Jesus. 

“The firstfruits at Passover would be barley, which ripens in the warmer areas as early as March.”  When we read this, think how it applies to Jesus. 

Leviticus 23:11-15 He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.   

(12)  And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the LORD.   

(13)  Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD, for a sweet aroma; and its drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin (about 1.5 gals).   

Tenth part of an ephah, about a gallon and three quarters. 

(14)  You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 

(15)  'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.   Pentecost. 

Important:  Before any grain could be harvested in the spring, this unusual ceremony took place to start the spring harvest season. 

Notice, No one was to eat any of the grain of the harvest until the first sheaf of the harvest was brought to the priest, who in turn waved it before God. 

This ceremony was done each year by the Priests until the destruction of the Temple.  The Priests would initially select and cut a bundle of barley from the field, as a type of firstfruits selection.  

"When the time for the cutting the sheaf had arrived, .just as the sun went down on the weekly Sabbath, three Priests each with a sickle and basket formally set to work. Remember, after the Sabbath was over. 

The Priests made sure that this ceremony stood out, they first asked the bystanders three times, each of these questions: `3 times.

Has the sun gone down?’ They answer yes, ask 3 times 

`With this sickle?' `

Into this basket?' '

On this Sabbath?’ –

and lastly, `Shall I reap?’ 

Having each time been answered in the affirmative, they cut down barley to the amount of ten omers.  Though ten omers, of barley, was cut down, only one omer of flour, was offered in the Temple."   Now it is established.

This cut out or selected out portion was called the sheaf and was prepared, ground into barley flour, very fine flour.  This preparing was performed throughout the night.   

The fine barley flour was then presented to God at the Wave Sheaf offering ceremony early in the day.  (Sunday Morning around 9 am.)

This sheaf was not burned on the alter, but only presented as a symbol before God by putting, a handful on the altar, then they would leave the rest for the use of the priests. When this is done, then all the people are then permitted and not before, to begin harvest of the barley crop. 

1 Corinthians 15:20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.  

As the wave-sheaf offering represented Jesus Christ Sacrifice as First of the firstfruits, then later, those of us who are called and faithfully obey God in this life, are God’s Firstfruits 

Nisan 18 – Sunday (Morning -  Day) 

After Jesus was resurrection back to life, Jesus would not let His followers touch Him until after He had accented or returned to His Father. 

John 20:17  Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' " 

Mary Magdalene gives a message to the disciples 

John 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her. 

Only after Jesus had ascended to the Father and returned again were they allowed to touch Him. 

Matthew 28:9  And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.   

Jesus Appears to His Disciples 

Luke 24:36 Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you." 

The Ascension of Jesus  

Acts 1:3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. 

Notice, 10 more days will be Pentecost 

Acts 1:9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
