When Jesus was on trial, they did not go and summon his friends—those who knew him best They did not go and bring up Zaccheus of Jericho, they did not bring up that poor man that had the legion of devils cast out of him; they did not bring the blind man of Jericho—they brought his enemies.
Let Caiaphas tell his own story— suppose he stood in my place. Caiaphas, just tell us what was the evidence you found against Jesus. “I said to him I adjure thee by the living God, art thou the Son of God! And he said ‘I am.’ When I heard it I tore my mantle and said he was guilty of blasphemy.”

Stephen said, when the curtains were lifted, and he caught a glimpse of glory, I see Jesus standing at the right hand of God.” The testimony is perfectly overwhelming that Jesus Christ was the Son of God as well as the Son of David. Even the devils called him “that son of the Most High God.”— MOODY.
