He even tried to profane the temple, and we seized him, and wanted to judge him according to our law. "

1. Notice the language here. He "tried" to profane the temple. Of course there is no evidence that he brought any Gentile into the temple. So all they can do is say that he tried.

2. The next lie - We want to judge him by our law. Actually, they wanted to kill him in violation of their law. They were going to kill him without a trial, without two witnesses, without an opportunity to defend. In fact, they were going to kill him before he was charged with any crime.
