Trials
57) And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders assembled. 58) But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest's courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end. 59) Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60) but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward 61) and said, "This fellow said 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.' "
Matthew 26:57-61

Mockery
27) Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around. 28) And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. 29) When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" 30) Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31) And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, and put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.
