And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 69 7 Hereafter shall the SONOFMAN sit 8 on the right hand of the power of God . P 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that 9 I AM . 71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. Luke 23 1 And the whole multitude of them arose, 10 and led him unto Pilate. PF CHRIST before Pilate the first time 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the 11 KING OF THE JEWS ? And he answered him and said, 12 Thou sayest it . 4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

22:54 The unholy three: (1) Caiaphas (the Jewish high priest – Jn 11:49-50 and Acts 5:17-21,27 & 7:1 & 9:1-2); (2) Herod Antipas (son of Herod the Great); and (3) Pilate (Roman governor under Tiberius); all three were responsible for the death of Christ and all three met their fate within six years after condemning Jesus to the cross. Herod, accompanied by his wife Herodias, was banished by Caligula in AD 39 into exile in Gaul where he ended his life in shame and misery, and both Pilate and Caiaphas were removed from their prospective offices by Vitellius (governor of Syria) in AD 36; and both committed suicide. 1 1 Flavius Josephus.
