The shouts of the jubilant witnesses in Jerusalem were heard as battle
cries by the religious leaders. Always critical of Jesus, they viewed Him as
their enemy and now plotted to kill Him.
Judas Iscariot was one of the "twelve chosen witnesses" whom Jesus had
first called into discipleship. But now, even Judas joined the plot to kill
Jesus, agreeing to betray Him in exchange for thirty pieces of silver.

The religious leaders arrested Jesus and led Him to the high priest,
Caiaphas. Many false witnesses came forward, but their testimonies did

Son of God?"

"I am. And soon you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of
the Power of God and coming with the clouds of heaven."

Then Caiaphas tore his clothes and exclaimed to the crowd:
"We have no further need of witnesses! You have heard His blasphemy!
What is your decision?"
