Good Friday: what were the charges against Jesus?. The trial of Jesus is an indisputable historical event, about which researchers today have sufficient elements to understand the issues and hidden mechanisms.
The framework is provided to us by the Gospel of an exceptional eyewitness, John, rather than by the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark and Luke) which do not present the same proximity to History. John, as recently shown by Richard Bauckham, was probably a secret disciple of Jesus, who received Mary as his mother and welcomed her into his remains.
