Meanwhile… Peter’s “Trial” in the Courtyard (Follow Me – Part 70)

The Divine King is Found Guilty and Sentenced to Death (Follow Me – Part 69)
Mark 14:53-65 Jesus' Trial before the Sanhedrin The crowd that arrested Jesus now delivers Him to the Sanhedrin (v. 53) from which they were sent on their mission of seizure (v. 43). The fact that the council were called together in the middle of the night for a trial...
