Jesus Before the Sanhedrin

The high priest stood up before the court and interrogated Jesus: "Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?" Then Jesus answered: "I am. And you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming with the clouds of heaven." At that, the high priest tore His robes and said," What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?" They all concurred in the verdict guilty, with its sentence of death.
As soon as it was daybreak, the chief priest, with the elders and scribes, bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.

Reflection. Think of the injustice done to Jesus by biased judges. Then think of the thousands of victims of injustice in whom Jesus continues to live and suffer. Do we, ourselves, contribute to the suffering of the weak, the defenseless and the voiceless of society?
