We see that Jesus is not getting a fair trial. Jesus has spoken the truth, but He is struck by one of the High Priest's officers. Jesus asks him a simple but direct question. “If what I said is true, why do you strike me?” This is a kangaroo court. The Jewish rulers and leaders want Jesus gone. They need Him out of the way because He is messing up their power and authority. We should always seek truth in dealing with all matters, especially those that are of importance. They rushed to judgment and missed seeing the Savior of the world.
