Jesus Before the Sanhedrin

57

And they tooke Iesus, and led him to Caiaphas the hie Priest, where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled.

58

And Peter followed him a farre off vnto the hie Priestes hall, and went in, and sate with the seruants to see the ende.

59

Nowe the chiefe Priestes and the Elders, and all the whole councill sought false witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death.

60

But they founde none, and though many false witnesses came, yet founde they none: but at the last came two false witnesses,

61

And saide, This man saide, I can destroie the Temple of God, and build it in three daies.

62

Then the chiefe Priest arose, and sayde to him, Answerest thou nothing? What is the matter that these men witnesse against thee?

63

But Iesus helde his peace. Then the chiefe Priest answered, and saide to him, I charge thee sweare vnto vs by the liuing God, to tell vs, If thou be that Christ the Sonne of God, or no.

64

Iesus saide to him, Thou hast saide it: neuerthelesse I say vnto you, hereafter shall ye see the Sonne of man, sitting at the right hande of the power of God, and come in the cloudes of the heauen.

65

Then the hie Priest rent his clothes, saying, Hee hath blasphemed, what haue wee any more neede of witnesses? beholde: nowe yee haue heard his blasphemie.

66

What thinke yee? They answered, and said, He is guiltie of death.

67

Then spet they in his face, and buffeted him, and other smote him with roddes,

68

Saying, Prophecie to vs, O Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
