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.”
