Yes, the story portrays both the high priests and Pilate as cowardly and false. But for me, it's everything that the gospels didn't mention that pisses me off.

💯! The priests and Pilate are cowardly and false! We are all the priests. We are all Pilate. We are all Peter who denied Jesus 3 times. Praise Jesus that despite our sin, He STILL died for us.
John 21:25 ESV
[25] Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
I understand frustration. But take heart that God is not a god of secrecy. He wishes to be known and He can be fully known in His son and in His word. We can have faith that even in the areas where we don't know, He knows. And in Jesus, we can look forward to the day when He can tell us those stories face-to-face. Jesus doesn't want us to be angry. Look to Jesus' example in the garden when Peter cut off the ear of the guard coming to arrest him!
Something to remember on this Good Friday, brother ❤️🙏
