Matthew 26:58-68
-
58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
-
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
-
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
-
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
-
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
-
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
-
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
-
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
-
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
-
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
-
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
