Apr 24, 2014 at 4:13 comment added Bit Chaser I don't know much about general history. Bible events suggest it was common to hold prisoners for one to a few days before they faced a judge, and there were sometimes appeals. Paul was imprisoned over two years. Jesus' trial and crucifixion seems to be unusual for its brevity. Of course the Sanhedrin wanted to avoid having Jesus in custody during the time of the feast, so they were doing everything they could to hasten the process.
