55 (A)Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. 56 For many bore (B)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, (C)‘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 (D)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 (E)He kept silent and answered nothing.

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

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

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

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. What is your decision?” And they (P)all condemned him as (Q)deserving death.
