Jesus Before Caiaphas
57 (A)Now those who had seized Jesus led Him away to (B)Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 58 But (C)Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the (D)courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the [a](E)officers to see the outcome.
59 Now the chief priests and the whole (F)Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. 60 And they did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on (G)two came forward, 61 and said, “This man stated, ‘(H)I am able to destroy the [b]sanctuary of God and to rebuild it [c]in three days.’” 62 And the high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not answer? What are these men testifying against You?” 63 But (I)Jesus kept silent. (J)And the high priest said to Him, “(K)I put You under oath by (L)the living God, that You tell us whether You are the [d]Christ, (M)the Son of God.”
