Matthew 26:59-61
Contemporary English Version
59 The chief priests and the whole council wanted to put Jesus to death. So they tried to find some people who would tell lies about him in court.[a] 60 But they could not find any, even though many did come and tell lies. At last, two men came forward 61 (A) and said, “This man claimed he could tear down God's temple and build it again in three days.”
