The Case of the Crucified King: A True Crime Investigation

Part 1: The Arrest and the Trial
Jerusalem, 33 A.D.—a man is condemned, but was it justice?

In this special true crime-themed episode of Grace in the Gray, is the gripping first installment of our two-part Easter series. We investigate the arrest and trial of Jesus of Nazareth. Was He a dangerous revolutionary or a misunderstood teacher? Who orchestrated His downfall—and why?

Join us as we peel back the layers of history and theology to explore:

• Why Jesus was seen as a threat to both religious and political powers

• The motives of the religious elite and the role of Roman authority

• Whether the trial met legal standards—or if it was doomed from the start

• And the deeper spiritual question: Did Jesus choose the cross?

This is more than a history lesson—this is a true story that still echoes today.
