Notes

Matthew 26:69–75

Peter's denials fulfill what Jesus prophesied (Matthew 26:34).

Matthew 26:57–27:26

The Gospels describe Jesus having five legal hearings:

an informal hearing with Annas (John 18:13–24);
a night hearing with the Sanhedrin (Matthew 26:59–66);
a morning hearing with the Sanhedrin (Matthew 27:1–2);
a hearing with Herod Antipas (Luke 23:6–12); and
a two-part trial with Pilate (Matthew 27:11–31; see Luke 23:6–12).

These hearings form two main trials, a Jewish trial and a Roman trial.
