Jesus on Trial (Part 2)

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In the second part of his reflection on the trial of Jesus, Steve Gregg explores the theme of false testimonies and how they can be used to twist the truth. He also compares the different accounts of the trial and the events surrounding Judas' death and the purchase of a field. Gregg suggests that the quote from Jeremiah in Matthew 27 may have been mixed up with another prophet's quote, and proposes that the naming of the field may have had multiple reasons. Overall, Gregg offers insights into the complexity and various interpretations of these biblical passages.
