Jesus Before the Sanhedrin. 53 [a](A)They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance into the high priest’s courtyard and was seated with the guards, warming himself at the fire. 55 The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they found none. 56 Many gave false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree. 57 [b]Some took the stand and testified falsely against him, alleging, 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands.’”(B) 59 Even so their testimony did not agree. 60 The high priest rose before the assembly and questioned Jesus, saying, “Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?” 61 [c]But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, “Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?” 62 Then Jesus answered, “I am;

and ‘you will see the Son of Man
    seated at the right hand of the Power
    and coming with the clouds of heaven.’”(C)

63 At that the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further need have we of witnesses? 64 You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” They all condemned him as deserving to die. 65 Some began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and struck him and said to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards greeted him with blows.(D)

  1. 14:53 They led Jesus away…came together: Mark presents a formal assembly of the whole Sanhedrin (chief priests, elders, and scribes) at night, leading to the condemnation of Jesus (Mk 14:64), in contrast to Lk 22:66, 71 where Jesus is condemned in a daytime meeting of the council; see also Jn 18:13, 19–24.
  2. 14:57–58 See notes on Mt 26:60–61 and Jn 2:19.
  3. 14:61–62 The Blessed One: a surrogate for the divine name, which Jews did not pronounce. I am: indicates Jesus’ acknowledgment that he is the Messiah and Son of God; cf. Mk 1:1. Contrast Mt 26:64 and Lk 22:67–70, in which Jesus leaves his interrogators to answer their own question. You will see the Son of Man…with the clouds of heaven: an allusion to Dn 7:13 and Ps 110:1 portending the enthronement of Jesus as judge in the transcendent glory of God’s kingdom. The Power: another surrogate for the name of God.

大祭司审问耶稣

53 他们把耶稣押到大祭司那里,众祭司长、长老和律法教师都来了。 54 那时彼得远远地跟着耶稣,一直来到大祭司的院子,与卫兵们坐在一起烤火。 55 祭司长和全公会的人正在寻找证据控告耶稣,要定祂死罪,只是找不到。 56 不少人作伪证控告祂,他们的证词却不一致。 57 后来,有几个人站起来作伪证说: 58 “我们听见祂说,‘我要拆毁这座人手建造的圣殿,三天内不靠人力另造一座。’” 59 即使这样,他们的证词也不一致。

60 最后,大祭司在众人面前站起来质问耶稣:“你不回答吗?这些人作证控告你的是什么呢?”

61 耶稣还是沉默不语,什么也不答。大祭司又问祂:“你是那当受称颂者的儿子基督吗?” 62 耶稣说:“我是!将来你们要看见人子坐在全能上帝的右边,驾着天上的云降临。”

63 大祭司便撕裂衣服,说:“我们还需要什么证人呢? 64 你们听见祂说亵渎的话了,你们看怎么办?”他们都判祂死罪。

65 有几个人向祂吐唾沫,蒙上祂的眼睛,挥拳打祂,嘲笑祂说:“你说预言吧!”卫兵押祂下去时,也打祂。

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(A)

53 (B)And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were (C)assembled all the (D)chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. 54 But (E)Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.

55 (F)Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. 56 For many bore (G)false witness against Him, but their testimonies [a]did not agree.

57 Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, 58 “We heard Him say, (H)‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.’ ” 59 But not even then did their testimony agree.

60 (I)And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 61 But (J)He kept silent and answered nothing.

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

62 Jesus said, “I am. (L)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 (M)blasphemy! What do you think?”

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

65 Then some began to (O)spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers [b]struck Him with the palms of their hands.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(A)(B)

53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest.(C) There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.(D)

55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(E) were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.

57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another,(F) not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.

60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.(G)

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”(H)

62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”(I)

63 The high priest tore his clothes.(J) “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”

They all condemned him as worthy of death.(K) 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.(L)
