In A.D. 33 Joseph Caiaphas was the high priest of the Jews of whom accused Jesus of blasphemy, '...this man has blasphemed against God', as seen in the Acts of Pilate, of which contains the reports of that period of time, found and translated by Ananias.
Jesus was accused of blasphemy by the Jewish leader
Judas Iscariot handed Jesus to the chief preists and pharisees who brought Him to the high preist and then brought Him to Pilate
Jesus was handed over to be crucified by the Jewish religious leaders and authorities, led by the high priest Caiaphas, who accused him of blasphemy and sought his execution. Ultimately, it was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, who sentenced Jesus to death by crucifixion.
Jesus was accused of blasphemy by claiming to be the Son of God. He was also accused of inciting rebellion against Roman authority by proclaiming himself as the King of the Jews. These accusations ultimately led to his crucifixion.
The high priest didnot tear his garments.NT Answer:The high priest tore his clothes during Jesus' first "hearing," not while He was on the cross:Matthew 26:62-65 - And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?" But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!" [NKJV]
Jesus did not commit any crimes. Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Jude,a had Jesus crucified because the crowd in Jerusalem wanted him executed. Jesus was arrested by the Sanhedrin, a council of Jewish judges. During a trial before the high priest he was asked if he was the son of god and Jesus answered affirmatively. He was accused of blasphemy. The Jewish judges then took Jesus to Pontius Pilates, the Roman governor of Judea, whom they asked to judge and condemn him. The Jewish judges could not present their accusation of blasphemy to Pontius Pilates because the Romans had no jurisdiction over Jewish religion. Therefore, they brought thre charges which could be relevant to Pontius Pilates. They accused Jesus of perverting the Jewish nation, of forbidding the payment of the tribute due to the Romans and of sedition against the Romans by claiming to be the King of the Jews. Pilates asked Jesus if he was the king of the Jews and Jesus replied "If you say so". Pilates was reluctant to condemn Jesus. He sent Jesus to be tired by Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee Jesus is a Galilean. Herod Antipas mocked Jesus' claims, put an expensive robe on him to make him look like a king, and return him to Pilate. Pilate called the Jewish judges and said that he had not found him guilty. A crowd assembled in from of his residence wanted the execution of Jesus. In the Roman provinces only the Roman governors could issue a capital punishment sentence. Pilates tried to defend Jesus, but the crowd insisted. He then used the custom of the Roman governor to release one prisoner at Passover and told the crowd to choose between releasing Jesus or Barabbas, a notorious murderer, hoping that they would chose Jesus. However, the crowd wanted to release Barabbas and crucify Jesus. Pilates washed his hands to show that he is not responsible for the execution of Jesus and reluctantly sent him to his death.
Jesus' trial was brought on by the High Priests. Jesus had broken no Roman laws, but because of the pressure from the High Priests and the political ramifications to Pilot and Herod, they gave in. They knew that there was the chance for riots if they did not do what the religious leaders wanted and that could mean losing their high positions in government. The trial was illegal, as was the sentence, because, as Pilate himself acknowledged 'I find no fault in this man' (Luke 23:4). Also, the Jews brought a religious charge of blasphemy against Jesus which was not punishable under Roman law. There was nothing that Jesus could be either charged or tried on, and most certainly not executed for.
The Roman had religious tolerance as long as the religion keep peace. Jesus saying He was God and the king of the Jews was a threat to the Roman power. Also, Jesus was doing many things the Jewish high priests thought was blasphemy. The combination of the two lead to His death. There also are man y other reasons.
Presbyterians generally believe everyone that is saved is a saint. They do not worship anyone other than Jesus, the Father and the Holy Ghost. To do otherwise might be considered blasphemy. They do hold Mary in high esteem though, and would undoubtedly regard her as a saint.
he commited treason
' Blasphemy ' was the only one.Mat 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.Mat 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.They wanted to charge Him with others, but their false witnesses couldn't agree:-Mar 14:56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.Mar 14:57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,Mar 14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.Mar 14:59 But neither so did their witness agree together.Mar 14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?Mar 14:61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?Mar 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.Mar 14:63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?Mar 14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
