✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 57 “False Witnesses” (John 18:12–24; Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; Luke 22:54–65) The garden was behind them now. Bound and led through the darkness, Yeshua was taken first—not to Caiaphas, but to Annas, the former high priest. Though no longer holding the office, Annas still held power. This was the beginning of a trial that was never meant to be just. ⸻ 🌑 Before Annas — Power Without Authority Annas questioned Yeshua about His disciples and His teaching. Yeshua answered calmly. “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who heard Me what I said to them.” Truth required no defense. For this, an officer struck Him across the face. “Is that how you answer the high priest?” Yeshua replied—not with anger, but with clarity: “If I said something wrong, testify to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike Me?” There was no answer. Only silence—and the decision to send Him onward. ⸻ 🔥 Before Caiaphas — A Trial in the Dark Yeshua was brought to Caiaphas, where scribes and elders had gathered. This was not a lawful court. Trials were not to be held at night. Witnesses were not to be coached. But none of that mattered now. Many false witnesses came forward. Their stories did not agree. At last, two testified: “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’” Even this was twisted. Still, Yeshua remained silent. Caiaphas pressed Him directly: “I charge You under oath by the living God: tell us if You are the Messiah, the Son of God.” This time, Yeshua answered. “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” The room erupted. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Bible #Salvation #God #Jesus #Help #Love
