Study
43 From the Book of Matthew is: Matthew 26: 57 – 75
1.
The trials of Jesus and Peter were running concurrently, but
with such different results. What was
Peter’s failure, and what was the reason for it? Do you see any difference
between this and the failure of Judas?
2.
Verses 59 – 68. In what ways was the trial of Jesus unworthy of
the name of Justice? In contrast note the majesty of Jesus at this point. What
would you consider the salient characteristics of His witness here?
Note.
Verse 64. ‘You have said so’ is more than the equivalent of ‘Yes’. It indicates
that Christ’s Kingship was real, but different from the concept in Caiaphas’
mind.
