Trial of Jesus
Trial of Jesus refers to the proceedings against Jesus leading to his Crucifixion. The Gospel Passion narratives describe proceedings before Jewish authorities and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.
- Sanhedrin trial of Jesus — the proceedings before the Jewish authorities
- Pilate's court — the proceedings before the Roman governor
The Catechism cautions that the historical circumstances of the trial are complex and rejects collective responsibility of the Jewish people for Jesus’ death.[1]
