The Interrogation Of Jesus
Text: John 18: 19
THE INTERROGATION OF JESUS
The first person who interrogated Jesus was Annas the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Though he was not technically the high priest that year, he was commonly referred to as “the high priest”.
“The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.”
John 18:19
1. The high priest
a. Technically, he had no power or authority at all.
b. He sought to examine or interrogate Jesus as if he was the high priest.
c. He sought to find out two main things from Jesus.
2. He wanted information about His Disciples
a. He was shrewd.
b. The chief priests and the Pharisees focused only on Jesus.
c. They had virtually ignored the Disciples.
d. Annas knew that there was a need to find out more about His Disciples.
i. Who were they?
ii. Where did they live?
iii. How ardent were these Disciples?
3. He also wanted to know about the doctrines of Jesus
a. He must have heard reports from:
i. The scribes
ii. The Sadducees
iii. The chief priests
iv. The Pharisees
v. Possibly, even the Herodians
b. But none could speak of being able to counter the teachings of Jesus.
c. Instead:
i. They had been rebuked by Jesus.
ii. They had been shown to be almost ignorant of the Scriptures.
iii. They had failed in their attempts to contain the spread of His doctrines.
d. Annas did not have a first-hand knowledge of the teachings of Jesus at all.

耶稣接受盘问
第一位盘问耶稣的是亚那，该亚法的岳父。严格来说，那年他并不是大祭司，但犹太人通常把他称为“大祭司”。
“大祭司就以耶稣的门徒和他的教训盘问他。”
《约翰福音 18：19》
