Title: The Kangaroo Court of Jesus!
Author: Marvin Patterson
Text: John 18:28-40
The man was immaculately dressed. Fitted out more for the Ritz than the street. But in the street he lay dressed in black tail suit, patent leather shoes, top hat and bow tie, and very dead.

With that in mind, let us jump into the Story and see what will happened next!
Body:

This was the Roman headquarters, the barracks (also in John 18:33). As a dwelling place of Gentiles it was unclean. Thus the Jewish authorities would not enter, ...
