Mark 14:59 “But not even then did their testimony agree.”
In other words, this testimony still did not meet the constraints of the law. In a courtroom today it would be thrown out. And, is that at all surprising? No. The truly amazing thing about Jesus’s life is that he never did anything even remotely wrong. Though we often forget it, this point was very important for the Jewish leaders. They were frustrated beyond measure that they could find no cause for accusation. Even those points which they pushed the most they couldn’t make stick. For example, Jesus’s teaching concerning the Sabbath, which led to much contention with the Jews. Though they didn’t approve, they couldn’t actually condemn him with it.
Heavenly Father, thank you so very much for the Lord Jesus! Though salvation through him is beyond wonderful, it is also a blessing to have the example of his life to look to. We can see and understand his perfection. It isn’t an intangible principle, but a recordable reality. We can look at his words and see that he is right. Jesus is Lord and Savior, and his leadership is a blessing because he is the best. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
