What does the Bible say about Christ's trial before Caiaphas?

Answered in 1 source

The trial highlights the fulfillment of atonement and the rejection of Jesus as the Messiah by the religious leaders.

In Matthew 26:57-68, we see Jesus brought before Caiaphas, the high priest, where He is unjustly declared guilty. This trial is significant as it marks the culmination of the great day of atonement, fulfilling the type of the scapegoat in the Old Testament. Caiaphas and the chief priests, rather than the Jewish people at large, actively orchestrated Christ's condemnation, showing that high religious office does not guarantee sound doctrine or moral integrity. Their actions serve as a sobering reminder to evaluate all teachings against Scripture, as Isaiah 8:20 advises, to discern the truth amidst the potential for error from ecclesiastical authorities.
