I'm not sure if I do. Is it rational?

Dear Ejsenstej: Your question gave me an opportunity to review thoughts I had taken from a lesson learned years ago in spiritual study. I would be so happy to share them with the Forum:
Jesus is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit's Will. The Holy Spirit is described as "giving us the Answer to the Separation and bringing the plan of the Atonement to us ; establishing OUR particular part in it and showing us exactly what it is. He established Jesus as the Leader in carrying out His plan since Jesus was the first to complete his own part perfectly."
"All learning that needed to be accomplished was already in the Holy Spirit's Mind - and SEEN as accomplished and. . .
[ completed]. He recognized all that Time holds and gave that knowledge to each of our souls or spirit-minds, that we may be willing to determine when we would. . . [individually] be willing to be released to revelation and eternity." (One by one.)
This means that Jesus, having been given his role or part to accomplish amongst us had also been taught (in advance of his joining us on earth) all things contained in Time. He arrives as we all do - a son of Man while simultaneously, a holy son of God.
He stands before his judges in a posture of stillness. I can feel his stillness. He knows how man's mind thinks. He knows their ambitions, fears, sorrows and confusions. He stands higher than they in Knowledge. He needs to perform the accomplishment of his role, as he understands it - assigned him by the Holy Spirit. He knows what his prosecutors will think and say. He is well prepared. He understands what ability they have to understand what he has taught. (Little.) He knows of man's designs, politics, and commerce. THEY cannot yet know what he has learned. They do not yet understand themselves. But, it is before them and in the great plan of Atonement ( the spiritual Journey) that they shall come to know what he learned for them. Then they, too, shall know Truth. Quotes are from "A Course in Miracles."
His is the peace that surpasseth all understanding. . .
Sincerely, Lana

The trial was a farce.
This was a man who called them on their behavior
This was a man who performed so many miracles, their heads were spinning by what they were hearing. What Could Jesus possibly say, when his deeds spoke for themselves? Anything he said would only anger them more.
Have you ever been in an argument with a very controlling person? I have. It doesn't matter if you argue back or if you say nothing. They take both as an insult, and in the end you get hurt.
It's not irrational behaviour if you know what abuse is.

Because he stood there quite, unafraid, strong, with full convection that what he was going was right?
Jesus did so because for 3 1/2 years, very few listen to him and it was prophesied that he would endure his trial like a sheep before it's sheerer.
He was keeping is focus and that was to maintain his integrity to Jehovah under this tremendous and strenuous stress because Jehovah's Sovereignty was as sake as well as the lives of God's creation, mankind.
Jesus did not want to make the same mistake that Satan, Adam and Eve had made some 4,000 years earlier.

Perhaps, I`ll give you my slant on it, Jesus would not give answer to the High Priest or Sanhedrin because He was a Jew and they the chosen people,they refused to see that He was the long awaited Messiah and rejected Him,and because they refused the truth, Jesus knew that He was not going to get through that amount of pride and arrogance so He stayed silent.
In front of Pilate however He did talk and this was because He was not facing the same rejection,as Pilate knew nothing of the Messiah and he was a pagan,Jesus tried to get through to Pilate by alluding to the fact that pilate was standing before the truth incarnate, this fell on deaf ears sadly and Jesus bowed to His fate.

Since Jesus knew full well that the main purpose of his 33+ years on earth was to permit himself to be unjustly executed by the forces of evil, his actions at trial make perfect sense.

When you remember who Jesus was, it's very rational and makes perfect sense. But when we look at it from a natural standpoint then it sounds very far fetched and irrational. But we know that Jesus being who he was, had the inner makings that we can't even begin to comprehend.

Yes, if you are talking about his being quiet and not answering I do understand. Those people were not interested in his answers other to humiliate him and also he might not have said or done anything because there was a chance they would not have done what they were going to do and he wanted them to fill up on the punishment due them.

Jesus was obedient unto death, even the death on the cross.
He did this for you for me, and suffered there in our place. He paid the great debt of sin, took upon Himself the sin of the whole world. - What is your response to this?

what did you expect his behavior to be? He came to earth to die for our sins he did exactly what he was suppose to do and he did what his father expected him to do. He loved us so much he died for US.
