B. The Servant’s endurance of suffering 14:53-15:47
Jesus’ sufferings until now had been anticipatory and psychological. Now He began to experience physical pain resulting from His trials and crucifixion. As the faithful Servant of the Lord who came to do His Father’s will, His sufferings continued to increase.
Jesus underwent two trials, a religious one before the Jewish leaders and a civil one before the Roman authorities. This was necessary because under Roman sovereignty the Sanhedrin did not have the authority to crucify. The Sanhedrin wanted Jesus to suffer crucifixion (John 18:31). Each trial had three parts.

| Before Caiaphas | Matthew 26:57-68; Mark 14:53-65; Luke 22:54; Luke 22:63-65 |
| Before the Sanhedrin | Matthew 27:1; Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66-71 |
| Jesus’ Civil Trial |
