P1924:5, 177:4.1
Shortly after Jesus and John Mark left the camp, Judas Iscariot disappeared
from among his brethren, not returning until late in the afternoon. This confused
and discontented apostle, notwithstanding his Master's specific request to refrain
from entering Jerusalem, went in haste to keep his appointment with Jesus' enemies
at the home of Caiaphas the high priest. This was an informal meeting of the
Sanhedrin and had been appointed for shortly after 10
o'clock that morning. This meeting was called to discuss the nature of
the charges which should be lodged against Jesus and to decide upon the procedure
to be employed in bringing him before the Roman authorities for the purpose
of securing the necessary civil confirmation of the death sentence which they
had already passed upon him.
