Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
66 When daylight came,(A) the elders[a] of the people, both the chief priests and the scribes,(B) convened and brought him before their Sanhedrin.(C) 67 They said,(D) “If you are the Messiah, tell us.”
But he said to them, “If I do tell you, you will not believe. 68 And if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”(E)
70 They all asked, “Are you, then, the Son of God?” (F)
And he said to them, “You say that I am.”(G)
71 “Why do we need any more testimony,” they said, “since we’ve heard it ourselves from his mouth?”

Jesus before the Jerusalem leadership
66 As morning came, the elders of the people, both chief priests and legal experts, came together, and Jesus was brought before their council.
67 They said, “If you are the Christ, tell us!”
He answered, “If I tell you, you won’t believe. 68 And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer. 69 But from now on, the Human One[a] will be seated on the right side of the power of God.”[b]
70 They all said, “Are you God’s Son, then?”
He replied, “You say that I am.”
71 Then they said, “Why do we need further testimony? We’ve heard it from his own lips.”
