The interrogation that we read about here is the main section of the Jewish trial. All these things are bundled through at great speed, because time is against them.
The Son of God, before whom every knee shall bow and who will decide the eternal destiny of every one who has ever lived, allowed himself to be put on trial before this human court. In reality, it was the human race that was on trial, not the Son of God. Stephen charges the Jews, ‘Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers’ (Acts 7:52). Christ would suffer this humiliation, because it was part of his atoning work that he would endure the shame of being subject to human injustice, and of course it would lead directly to Calvary.
