The Interrogation Of Jesus

Text: John 18: 19

THE INTERROGATION OF JESUS

The first person who interrogated Jesus was Annas the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Though he was not technically the high priest that year, he was commonly referred to as “the high priest”.

“The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.”

John 18:19

1. The high priest

a. Technically, he had no power or authority at all.

b. He sought to examine or interrogate Jesus as if he was the high priest.

c. He sought to find out two main things from Jesus.

2. He wanted information about His Disciples

a. He was shrewd.

b. The chief priests and the Pharisees focused only on Jesus.

c. They had virtually ignored the Disciples.

d. Annas knew that there was a need to find out more about His Disciples.

i. Who were they?

ii. Where did they live?

iii. How ardent were these Disciples?

3. He also wanted to know about the doctrines of Jesus

a. He must have heard reports from:

i. The scribes

ii. The Sadducees

iii. The chief priests

iv. The Pharisees

v. Possibly, even the Herodians

b. But none could speak of being able to counter the teachings of Jesus.

c. Instead:

i. They had been rebuked by Jesus.

ii. They had been shown to be almost ignorant of the Scriptures.

iii. They had failed in their attempts to contain the spread of His doctrines.

d. Annas did not have a first-hand knowledge of the teachings of Jesus at all.

经文：约翰福音 18：19

耶稣接受盘问

第一位盘问耶稣的是亚那，该亚法的岳父。严格来说，那年他并不是大祭司，但犹太人通常把他称为“大祭司”。

“大祭司就以耶稣的门徒和他的教训盘问他。”

《约翰福音 18：19》

1. 大祭司

a. 事实上，他完全没有权威或权力

b．他把自己当成是大祭司，试图审查或盘问耶稣

c. 他试图盘问耶稣两件主要的事

2. 亚那想要知道有关耶稣门徒的消息

a. 他很狡猾

b．祭司长和法利赛人只关注耶稣

c. 他们简直忽略了门徒

d. 亚那知道他有必要搜寻更多有关祂的门徒的消息

i. 他们是谁？

ii. 他们住在哪里？

iii. 这些门徒有多虔诚？

3. 他也想知道关于耶稣的教训

a. 他已经从以下这些人听过一些报告:

i. 文士

ii． 撒都该人

iii．祭司长

iv. 法利赛人

v． 甚至可能是希律党的人

b. 但没有人能够反驳耶稣的教训

c. 相反的：

i. 他们被耶稣责备了

ii． 他们被证实他们对圣经几乎是一无所知的

iii．他们不能遏制祂的教训的传播

d. 亚那根本没有关于耶稣的教训的第一手知识
