Matthew 26:57-68 - Jesus Before The Sanhedrin

⁵⁷ And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together. ⁵⁸ Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, - and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.

⁵⁹ Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death; ⁶⁰ and found not any, though many came forward as false-witnesses. At length, however, there came forward, two, ⁶¹ and said: This, man said - I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.

⁶² And the High-priest, arising, said unto him - Nothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness? ⁶³ But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou say - Whether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you - Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying - He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity! ⁶⁶ How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is. ⁶⁷ Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly, ⁶⁸ saying - Prophesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?

⁵³ And they led away Jesus unto the High-priest; and all the High-priests and the Elders and the Scribes gather together. ⁵⁴ And, Peter, afar of, followed him, as far as within, into the court of the High-priest; and was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself by the light.

⁵⁵ Now, the High-priest, and all the High-council, were seeking, against Jesus, testimony, with the intent to put him to death, - and were not finding any; ⁵⁶ for, many, were bearing false-witness against him, and the testimonies were not, agreed. ⁵⁷ And some, standing up, were bearing false-witness against him, saying - ⁵⁸ We, heard him saying, I, will pull down this shrine, the one made by hand, and, in three days, another, not made by hand, will I raise. ⁵⁹ And, not even so, was the testimony, agreed.

⁶⁰ And, the High-priest rising up into the midst, questioned Jesus, saying - Answerest thou, nothing? What are these, against thee, witnessing? ⁶¹ But, he, was silent, and answered, nothing. Again, the High-priest was questioning 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, on the right hand, of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶³ And, the High-priest, having rent asunder his inner-garments, saith - What, further, need have we, of witnesses? ⁶⁴ Heard ye the profanity? What, to you, doth it appear? And they, all, condemned him to be, worthy, of, death. ⁶⁵ And some began to be spitting at him, and, covering up his face, and to be buffeting him, and saying to him - Prophesy! And, the attendants, with smart blows, took him.

⁵⁴ And, having arrested him, they led him away, and took him into the house of the High-priest; and, Peter, was following afar. ⁵⁵ And, they having kindled up a fire in the midst of the court, and taken seats together, Peter was for sitting among them. ⁵⁶ But, a certain maid-servant, seeing him seating himself towards the light, and looking steadfastly at him, said - This one also, was, with him.

⁵⁷ But, he, denied, saying - I know him not, woman!

⁵⁸ And, after a little, another, beholding him, said - Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said - Man! I am not.

⁵⁹ And, about one hour having passed, a certain other, began stoutly to insist, saying - Of a truth, this one also, was with him; for indeed he is, a Galilaean.

⁶⁰ But Peter said - Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him - Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice! ⁶² And, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.

⁶³ And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows; ⁶⁴ and, blindfolding him, questioned him, saying - Prophesy! which is he that smote thee? ⁶⁵ and, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him.

⁶⁶ And, when it became day, the Eldership of the people was gathered together - both High-priests and Scribes, - and they led him away into their high-council, saying - If, thou, art the Christ, tell us! ⁶⁷ But he said unto them - If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe, ⁶⁸ And, if I should put questions, in nowise would ye answer; ⁶⁹ But, henceforth, shall the Son of Man be seated on the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰ And they all said - Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said - Ye, say it , - because, I, am.

⁷¹ And, they, said - What, further, need have we, of witness? We ourselves, have heard it from his mouth.
