Lesson 12: "TRIED AND CRUCIFIED"
Review with Pastor Lex Mercado

Mark 15:1-47 presents three key scenes related to Jesus’ trial, crucifixion, and resurrection. These events furnish us with insight into the nature of the kingdom of God. First, Mark examines the role that the Sanhedrin plays in Jesus’ condemnation. In this event, the priests and other Jewish leaders are featured as the antagonists. (What the Bible describes as the council is identified with the Sanhedrin by the historians of Jesus’ time.) Next, Mark devotes considerable space in his narrative to a description of the role of Pontius Pilate in Jesus’ condemnation and trial. Finally, Mark narrates the actions of Joseph of Arimathea, who lays Jesus in the tomb that was meant for himself.
