but it's equally true that the Sanhedrin condemned Him to death

Why, because you said so? LOL. You need to spend sometime in. Greek NT. The word in your English version “Sanhedrin” is not found in the Greek. In fact your version is making a nonsensical commentary. The word is “ συμβούλιον;” and it is a VERB, not a noun. It literally says, “they took counsel” - so, yes, a group of Jewish leaders conspired against Jesus, but no, you are wrong, it was not the Sanhedrin.

For it to have been the Sanhedrin, would have require all 70. It could not rule from a house, and it could not meet at night. So what part of the Gospel account must bow to your theological perspective? Park your hatred, and read - you may be surprised what you start to see. But ditch the version of the NT you are reading - it is trying to twist words to match a specious theology,
