What is it that these men testify against you?”[b] 61 But (G)he remained silent and made no answer. (H)Again the high priest asked him, “Are you (I)the Christ, the Son of (J)the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and (K)you will see the Son of Man (L)seated at the right hand of Power, and (M)coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest (N)tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard (O)his blasphemy.
