And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

58

But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.

59

Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death

60

And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

61

But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

62

And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?

63

But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

64

Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

65

66

What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

67

Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,

68

Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!
