Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
26:57–27:26 The Gospels record Jesus as undergoing five hearings: (1) an informal hearing before Annas (John 18:13-24); (2) a night hearing before the Sanhedrin (Matt 26:59-66); (3) a morning hearing before the Sanhedrin (27:1-2); (4) a hearing before Herod Antipas (Luke 23:6-12); and (5) a two-stage trial before Pilate (Matt 27:11-31; see Luke 23:6-12). It all amounts to two trials, a Jewish trial and a Roman trial. 26:57-68 This hearing might have been little more than an unofficial preliminary hearing designed to establish consensus on the terms of the charges. The Jewish leaders were under considerable pressure to keep this incident secret, lest their actions cause a riot (see 21:26, 46; 26:5, 55; John 11:45-53).
