He hurriedly informed the Jews that he finds no fault in him at all. though he tried to release him by his scheme but the pressure from the Jews was so much that he had to condemn Jesus to dead.

Conclusion: It is very difficult to have clear justice in the world. The only true and right judge is Jesus Christ.

LESSON 38

LESSON EXPOSITION
1. Jesus before Anna's and Caiaphas. John 18:12-14
Jesus was arrested, bound and taken to the religious leaders before Roman Authority. Men who were set aside to enter into the presence of God for the people, were the same men who condemn the son of God who came to save humanity.

2. Peter's first denial of Jesus. John 18:15-18
It is important to note that Peter's first denial of Jesus was not before great men and terrifying soldiers but before a servant girl who kept the door. He denied that he was the disciple of Jesus. Lots of believers denied Christ on very simple things.

3. Jesus questioned and slapped. John 18:19-23.
With perfect poise and unanswerable logic, the saviour showed their unfair position. They could not accuse him of speaking evil, yet they slapped him for telling the truth.

CONCLUSION
It is clear that those people had no real case with Jesus and so they were trying to find one.
