The Trial of Jesus Christ by One Catholic Lawyer

A podcast series on the history behind the trial of Jesus Christ From the arrest, to the Jewish trial, to the Roman trial, and to the crucifixion

    Lecture XIX: John, The Apostle (Part 2)

    Jesus had good reason to call John a "Son of Thunder."  John was fiery, impetuous, and we see that from different events in the Gospels.  He was also the "Beloved Disciple" mentioned in the Fourth Gospel and the arguments that say otherwise just don't hold up.  At some point, he became known as the "Apostle of Love."  Is it plausible that change occurred at the scene of the Crucifixion?

    Lecture XVIII: John, The Apostle (Part 1)

    John was likely the "other disciple" of John, the Baptist, along with Andrew, which explains why he followed Jesus immediately at Lake Galilee.  Jesus singled out John (along with Peter and James) to experience three secret events -- the raising of Jarius' daughter from the dead, the Transfiguration, and the Agony in the Garden.  Why?

    Lecture XVII: John, The Fisherman (Part 2)

    Jesus called him a "Son of Thunder." He was also known as the "Apostle of Love." When, how, and why did he change? What can we know about him through Scripture and history? Let's go into his life in Galilee, how he was raised, how he prayed, how he worked as a commercial fisherman and why Jesus needed his special skills. (Part 2)

    Lecture XV: Nicodemus - The Pharisee

    Scholars say we know less about the Pharisees than we once thought we did.  But we do know some things.  Things from history, Josephus, the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic literature, and the Gospels. Things that help us understand what Nicodemus may have thought and taught. And those things make Nicodemus one of the most intriguing characters in all of the Gospels.  A compelling case can be made to call him “St. Nicodemus.”

    Lecture XIV: Nicodemus - The One Who Came By Night

    Nicodemus was a rich Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews who met with Jesus and who helped bury Jesus.  Many have questioned his faith over the years, but many others see him as a believer, though one in development.  I wanted to crawl under his skin and see what he saw and why he did what he did.  In this first of two parts, we unpack what the Gospel of John says about him -- his meeting with Jesus at night, his defense of Jesus at Sukkoth, and his lavish burial of Jesus.  On careful reading, each of these incidents tells us much about him.  He turns out to be an extraordinary figure worthy of our contemplation and admiration.

    Lecture XIII: The Women at the Cross - Mary, the Mother of Jesus

    John's Gospel records Jesus as having told His mother to "behold her son" and John to "behold his mother."  Many Church Fathers and other commentators say that Jesus was acting as a good son in taking care of His mother before He died.  But is this really the case?  Do John's words mean something different?  Why did Jesus call Mary "Woman," and not "Mother?"  Is there an echo to Cana?  To Genesis?  If so, what does that tell us about the relationship between John and Mary and who they represent?  (The last in a four-part series on "The Women at the Cross.")

    Lecture XII: The Women at the Cross - Susanna and Joanna

    Who were these wealthy women who followed Jesus and supported him out of their means?  What can we know about Joanna, the aristocratic wife of Herod's steward, Chuza?  Was she the one whom Paul called "outstanding among the apostles" after spending time with her in prison in Rome?
