Commentary on Matthew 27:1

Theological / Devotional

When the morning was come. [Day Trial Before the Sanhedrin, Matt. 27:1=Mark 15:1=Luke 22:66–71. Major comment: Luke.] Matthew and Mark report more fully the night trial before the Sanhedrin, but mention the day trial only briefly. As is evident from Luke’s account of the day trial, the proceedings went over practically the same ground as the night trial, in so far as essential points are concerned.
