Verses 57-68
The trial before the Sanhedrin 26:57-68 (cf. Mark 14:53-65; Luke 22:54; Luke 22:63-65)
Matthew omitted Jesus’ hearing before Annas (John 18:12-14; John 18:19-23). Quite possibly Annas lived in one wing of the same building in which the Sanhedrin met. [Note: Carson, "Matthew," pp. 552-53.]
"This is the point at which Jesus’ death is sealed; all that follows involving the Roman prefect is only the formal implementation of a verdict already decided by the Jewish authorities." [Note: France, The Gospel . . ., p. 1016.]
