In Jewish law, the testimony of two or more witnesses was required to establish a fact (<a href="/deuteronomy/19-15.htm">Deuteronomy 19:15</a>). The Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council, sought to find evidence against Jesus to justify His execution. However, the witnesses could not provide consistent testimony, highlighting the lack of legitimate evidence against Him. This reflects the fulfillment of <a href="/psalms/27-12.htm">Psalm 27:12</a>, where David speaks of false witnesses rising against him, a type of Christ's own experience.<p><b>was inconsistent.</b><br>The inconsistency of the testimony underscores the unjust nature of the trial. The false witnesses could not agree on their accusations, which should have invalidated their testimony according to Jewish law. This inconsistency is significant because it demonstrates the innocence of Jesus and the lengths to which the religious leaders went to condemn Him. The failure to produce consistent testimony fulfills the prophecy of <a href="/isaiah/53-7.htm">Isaiah 53:7</a>, where the suffering servant is oppressed and afflicted, yet remains silent before His accusers. This moment also prefigures the ultimate truth of Christ's resurrection, which would stand in stark contrast to the falsehoods presented at His trial.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, Jesus is on trial before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/sanhedrin.htm">Sanhedrin</a></b><br>The Jewish ruling council responsible for religious and legal matters.
