MATTHEW 26:59 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;”
Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death. The trial's procedure: the chief priests and Sanhedrin are seeking false testimony — the conclusion of the execution is predetermined; the judicial procedure is the search for testimony that will justify the predetermined conclusion.
