Trial Before the Sanhedrin

53

So they led Iesus away to the hie Priest, and to him came together all the hie Priestes, and the Elders, and the Scribes.

54

And Peter folowed him afarre off, euen into the hall of the hie Priest, and sate with the seruants, and warmed himselfe at the fire.

55

And the hie Priests, and all the Councill sought for witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death, but found none.

56

For many bare false witnesse against him, but their witnesse agreed not together.

57

Then there arose certaine, and bare false witnesse against him, saying,

58

We hearde him say, I will destroy this Temple made with hands, and within three daies I will builde another, made without hands.

59

But their witnesse yet agreed not together.

60

Then the hie Priest stoode vp amongst them, and asked Iesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is the matter that these beare witnesse against thee?

61

But hee helde his peace, and answered nothing. Againe the hie Priest asked him, and sayde vnto him, Art thou that Christ the Sonne of the Blessed?

62

And Iesus said, I am he, and yee shall see the Sonne of man sitte at the right hande of the power of God, and come in the clouds of heauen.

63

Then the hie Priest rent his clothes, and sayd, What haue we any more neede of witnesses?

64

Ye haue heard the blasphemie: what thinke yee? And they all condemned him to be worthie of death.

65

And some began to spit at him, and to couer his face, and to beate him with fists, and to say vnto him, Prophesie. And the sergeants smote him with their roddes.
