According to the gospels, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane immediately after the Last Supper, was arrested there, taken to the Sanhedrin high priest's home and tried before the Sanhedrin there that night and condemned immediately to death.
This cannot POSSIBLY be true. First of all, it was against Mosaic law for any Jew to leave the house after Passover dinner. Jesus and his 3 apostles were all Jews, yet apparently they felt free to break Mosaic law.
Even assuming they did though, the Sanhedrin part is COMPLETE RUBBISH. Jewish law commanded that the Sanhedrin council ONLY met in the Temple Chamber, NEVER met at night, NEVER broke the law prohibiting activity on Passover (after dusk and the Passover meal Passover began), and ALWAYS waited 24 hours before handing down any punishment.
So how is it that the Sanhedrin, the Jews MOST zealously adherent to Mosaic law, would break not one, but FOUR of the laws governing them?
It's simply LUDICROUS to believe that story.
