⁷ The Jews answered him, ^(A)“We have a law, and according to ^[a]our law He ought to die, because ^(B)He made Himself the Son of God.”

¹⁶ And whoever ^(A)blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews ^(A)sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, ^(B)making Himself equal with God.

⁴ and ^(A)declared to be the Son of God with power according ^(B)to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

⁶³ But ^(A)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, ^(B)“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, ^(C)hereafter you will see the Son of Man ^(D)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

^65 (E)Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His ^(F)blasphemy! ⁶⁶ What do you think?”

They answered and said, ^(G)“He is deserving of death.”

³⁶ do you say of Him ^(A)whom the Father sanctified and ^(B)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ ^(C)because I said, ‘I am ^(D)the Son of God’? ^37 (E)If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; ³⁸ but if I do, though you do not believe Me, ^(F)believe the works, that you may know and ^[a]believe ^(G)that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”

^30 (A)I and My Father are one.”

Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

³¹ Then ^(B)the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. ³² Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”

³³ The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for ^(C)blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, ^(D)make Yourself God.”

³⁹ So ^(A)when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that ^[a]He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

⁶¹ But ^(A)He kept silent and answered nothing.

^(B)Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

⁶² Jesus said, “I am. ^(C)And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

⁶³ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? ⁶⁴ You have heard the ^(D)blasphemy! What do you think?”

And they all condemned Him to be deserving of ^(E)death.
