How do we know Jesus is innocent of the charges against Him?

Answered in 1 source

Judas Iscariot's failure to provide any evidence against Jesus demonstrates His innocence.

J.C. Ryle emphasizes that Judas Iscariot, as a close disciple, had every opportunity to accuse Jesus but chose silence instead. His conscience would not allow him to falsely testify against the Lord he betrayed. This absence of evidence from Judas, who knew Jesus intimately, serves as strong affirmation of Christ’s innocence. Even at His trial, Jesus remained silent, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy and showcasing His purity in the face of unfounded accusations. Thus, the actions and silence of Judas become a witness to the sinlessness of our Savior.
