Trial Before the Sanhedrin

53

And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

54

And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

55

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not.

56

For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together.

57

And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

58

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.

59

And not even 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 saith 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 at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

63

And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?

64

Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.

65

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.
