Answer: The Garden of Gethsemane at the Mount of Olives
(Luke 22:39-42 KJV) And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. [40] And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. [41] And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, [42] Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

(Mat 26:36-38 KJV) Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

3. How many different "judges" was Jesus presented to in His illegal trial?
 
Answer: 3 or 4 depending on whether you count the people of Jerusalem (Annas, Caiaphas, Pilate, and the crowd who shouted to have Him crucified rather than set free).
(John 18:19-24 KJV) The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. [20] Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. [21] Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. [22] And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? [23] Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? [24] Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

(John 18:28 KJV) Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

(John 18:29 KJV) Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

(John 19:4-14 NKJV) Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him." [5] Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold the Man!" [6] Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him." [7] The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God." [8] Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, [9] and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. [10] Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?" [11] Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin." [12] From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." [13] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. [14] Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

4. Of what did the two false witnesses accuse Jesus when presented before the high priest?
 
Answer: Destruction of the temple and rebuilding it in three days.
(Mat 26:59-64 NKJV) 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.'" [62] And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?" [63] But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!" [64] Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

(Mark 14:57-63 NKJV) Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, [58] "We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.'" [59] But not even then did their testimony agree. [60] And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?" [61] But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" [62] Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." [63] Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?
