King Jesus was Tried and Condemned for Us

Mark 14:53-15:15 

Key Verses: 14:61b-62

1. Where was Jesus taken and who was there (53-54)? What verdict was the Sanhedrin seeking and why could they reach no consensus (55-59)? What does Jesus’ silence in response to the false charges reveal about him (60-61a; Isa 53:7)?

2. What was the intention of the high priest’s question (61b)? How did Jesus’ answer reveal his identity and prophetic judgment (62; 12:36; Dan 7:13-14)? What hope for believers can we find here (13:26-27)? How did the Sanhedrin respond (63-65)?

3. How and why was Peter’s response to accusations different from Jesus’ (66-71)? What did Peter remember and how did this help him at his time of failure (72; 14:30-31)?

4. What plans did the Sanhedrin make (15:1)? What question did Pilate ask Jesus and why (2a; Lk 23:2)? What does Jesus’ answer to this question tell us about him (2b)? What amazed Pilate (3-5)? What does this show about Jesus?

5. What custom did Pilate try to use to release Jesus and why (6-10)? Why did Pilate fail to release Jesus (11-15)? What does Jesus’ trial and condemnation mean for us (1Pe 2:22-24; Ac 2:23-24; Ro 8:1)?
