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)

For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth!”
