Matthew 26:57-68 - Jesus Before The Sanhedrin
57 Taking Jesus they led Him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the chief priests and elders were assembled together. 58 And Peter followed Him a long way off, into the court of the high priest, and having come in, was sitting with the officers, to see the end.
59 And the high priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking false testimony against Jesus, in order that they might kill Him. 60 And they found none. And many false witnesses having come forward, they found none. 61 And afterwards two false witnesses having come forward, said, He said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and build it in three days.
62 And the high priest rising, said to Him, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you? 63 And Jesus was silent; and the high priest responding said to Him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Jesus says to him, Thou didst say it. Moreover I say unto you, that, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, He blasphemed: why have we yet need of witnesses? behold, now you heard His blasphemy: 66 what seems to you? They responding said, He is worthy of death. 67 They spat in His face, and buffeted Him: and they slapped Him, 68 saying, Prophesy unto us, who is the one smiting thee?
53 And they led Jesus to the high priest: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came together to Him. 54 And Peter followed Him a long way off, even into the court of the high priest; and was sitting with the officers, and warming at the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking testimony against Him to put Him to death; and they found none. 56 For many were testifying falsely against Him, and their testimonies were not equal. 57 And certain ones rising up, were testifying falsely against Him, saying, 58 We heard Him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and will build another in three days, made without hands. 59 And thus their testimony was not equal.
60 And the high priest rising up in their midst, asked Jesus, saying, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you? 61 And He was silent, and answered nothing: again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 The high priest tearing his garments, says, Why have we yet need of witnesses? 64 You heard the blasphemy: what seems to you? And all answered, He is worthy of death. 65 And certain ones began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say to Him, Prophesy: and the officers received Him with blows.
54 And taking Him, they led Him away, and led Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed Him a long way off. 55 And having lighted a fire in the midst of the court, and they sitting together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them. 56 And a certain maidservant, seeing him sitting at the fire, and fixing her eyes on him, said, This man was with Him.
57 And he denied Him, saying, Woman, I know Him not.
58 And after a brief interval another seeing him, said, Truly, thou art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other man accosted him, saying, He was truly with Him: for he is a Galilean.
60 And Peter said, Man, I know Him not. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turning, looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, that, Before the cock shall crow thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And having gone out, he wept bitterly.
63 And the men having Him, began to mock, beating Him, 64 and covering Him, they continued to ask saying, Prophesy, who is the one smiting thee. 65 And blaspheming, they continued to speak many other things against Him.
66 And when it was day, the eldership of the people was convened, and the chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their sanhedrim. 67 Saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I may tell you, you will not believe: 68 and if indeed I will ask you, you will not respond to me, or release me. 69 And from now the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
70 And all said, Art thou the Son of God? And He said to them, You say that I am.
71 And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we heard from His own mouth.
