Chapter 14
53 And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 Peter followed him from afar, all the way into the courtyard of the high priest. He was sitting with the servants and warming himself by the fire. 55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they could not find any. 56 For many were giving false testimony against him, but their testimonies did not agree. 57 Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying 58 that we heard him saying, "I will destroy this temple, the made-with-hands one, and in three days another not-made-with-hands one I will build." 59 And not even in this way was their testimony consistent. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do you not answer anything? What do these testify against you?" 61 But he was silent and did not answer anything. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, "Are you the Christ the Son of the Blessed?" 62 But Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven." 63 But the high priest tore his tunics and said: "What further need do we have of witnesses?" 64 You have heard the blasphemy. What does it seem to you? But they all condemned him as liable to death. 65 And some began to spit on him, to cover his face, and to slap him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the attendants slapped him.
