What reading level is The Trial of Jesus From a Lawyer's Standpoint book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indeed a peculiar rule of Hebrew law provided that if the verdict was instantaneous and unanimous it was invalid and could not stand. If the prisoner had not a single friend in court, the element of mercy was wanting in the verdict, said the ancient Hebrews, and the proceedings were regarded in the light of conspiracy and mob violence. A majority vote of at least two members was necessary to convict. A majority vote of one in his favor would acquit. Any majority amounting to two or more that di...d not reach unanimity was suflSicient to condemn. If the accused was tried before a Minor Sanhedrin of three-and- twenty members or before the Great Sanhedrin with a bare quorum (twenty-three members, the same number as the full membership of a Minor Sanhedrin), a vote of thirteen members was necessary, in either case, to convict. If eleven judges were for conviction and twelve for acquittal, the prisoner was discharged at once; a majority of one vote being suflSicient for that purpose.
If twelve were in favor of conviction and eleven for acquittal, the condemnation of the accused was impos- sible; a majority of at least two being required to con- demn.
