Appearances can be very deceiving. It was that way for the Jews and even for Pilate. Jesus didn't look like a king, not any king they had seen or even imagined, so they dismissed any possibility of Jesus being anything other than an impostor. Regardless of how things looked in the garden of Gethsemane, as Judas betrayed Jesus by a cohort of soldiers to arrest him, Jesus was in control. The same is true of the trials that Jesus faced. Christ exhibited enormous self-control before an exasperated Sanhedrin. As dawn broke and Christ was led before Pilate, and again we see his control in his fourth of six trials.
Scripture Text: John 18:24-40
