Editing Passion of Jesus (section)

==The trials of Jesus==
The gospels provide differing accounts of the trial of Jesus. Mark describes two separate proceedings, one involving Jewish leaders and one in which the Roman prefect for Judea, Pontius Pilate, plays the key role. Both Matthew and John's accounts generally support Mark's two-trial version. Luke, alone among the gospels, adds yet a third proceeding: having Pilate send Jesus to Herod Antipas. The non-canonical Gospel of Peter describes a single trial scene involving Jewish, Roman, and Herodian officials.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Easton |first=Burton Scott |date=1917 |editor-last=Husband |editor-first=Richard Wellington |title=The Trial of Jesus |journal=The American Journal of Theology |volume=21 |issue=3 |pages=462–464 |doi=10.1086/479863 |jstor=3155531 |issn=1550-3283}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-04-12 |title=How did Jesus' final days unfold?
