53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. |
54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. |
55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. |
56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. |
57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, |
58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. |
59 But neither so did their witness agree together. |
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? |
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. |
63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. |
