Sanhedrin

The Sanhedrin was more than a Jewish religious court. It was a powerful religious and political institution closely connected to Roman authority. Discover how its chief priests, scribes, and elders conspired against Jesus Christ, condemned Him, persecuted His apostles, and attempted to silence the early church. Through Scripture and the historical writings of Josephus, we uncover the corruption, hypocrisy, and political interests of the religious establishment—and how its temple-centered authority came to an end with Jerusalem’s destruction in AD 70.
