The False Witnesses [39-02] Los Testigos Falsos
Inside the house, the Jewish leaders put Jesus on trial. They brought many false witnesses who lied about him. However, their statements did not agree with each other, so the Jewish leaders could not prove he was guilty of anything. Jesus did not say anything. Adentro de la casa, los líderes de los Judios pusieron a Jesús en juicio. Ellos trajeron a muchos testigos falsos que mintieron acerca de él. Sin embargo, sus testimonios no se acordaron, así los líderes de los Judios no podrían probar que estuviera culpable de nada. Jesús no dijo nada.
