53 ^aAnd ^bthey led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 ^cAnd ^dPeter had followed him at a distance, ^eright into ^fthe courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with ^gthe guards and ^hwarming himself at the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council ^{▼▼Greek Sanhedrin} were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none. 56 ^jFor many bore false witness against him, but their testimony ^kdid not agree. 57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58 ^l“We heard him say, ^m‘I will destroy this temple ⁿthat is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, ^onot made with hands.’” 59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” ^{▼▼Or Have you no answer to what these men testify against you?} 61 But ^qhe remained silent and made no answer. ^rAgain the high priest asked him, “Are you ^sthe Christ, the Son of ^tthe Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and ^uyou will see the Son of Man ^vseated at the right hand of Power, and ^wcoming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest ^xtore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard ^yhis blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they ^zall condemned him as ^aadeserving death. 65 ^abAnd some began ^acto spit on him and ^adto cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him ^aewith blows.
