The Three Jewish Trials
15.03.00.A. JESUS IS EXAMINED BY CAIAPHAS. Artwork by William Hole of the Royal Scottish Academy of Art, 1876. Members of the Sanhedrin were seated in a semi-circle, similar in size to that of a threshing floor as Caiaphas stands to accuse Him. It was there where Jesus told them who He was, and it was the high court, representing the nation of Israel that rejected Him.
