Those who had seized Yeshua led him off to Kayafa the cohen hagadol, where the Torah-teachers and elders were assembled.

Kefa followed him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the cohen hagadol; then he went inside and sat down with the guards to see what the outcome would be.

The head cohanim and the whole Sanhedrin looked for some false evidence against Yeshua, so that they might put him to death.

But they didn't find any, even though many liars came forward to give testimony. At last, however, two people came forward and said,

"This man said, `I can tear down God's Temple and build it again in three days.'"

The cohen hagadol stood up and said, "Have you nothing to say to the accusation these men are making?"

Meanwhile, Yeshua was brought before the governor, and the governor put this question to him: "Are you the King of the Jews?" Yeshua answered, "The words are yours."

But when he was accused by the head cohanim and elders, he gave no answer.

Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear all these charges they are making against you?"

But to the governor's great amazement, he did not say a single word in reply to the accusations.
