^57 (A)Then ^(B)those who had seized Jesus led him to ^(C)Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.

^63 (A)But Jesus remained silent. ^(B)And the high priest said to him, ^(C)“I adjure you by ^(D)the living God, ^(E)tell us if you are ^(F)the Christ, ^(G)the Son of God.” ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, ^(H)“You have said so. But I tell you, from now on ^(I)you will see the Son of Man ^(J)seated at the right hand of Power and ^(K)coming on the clouds of heaven.” ⁶⁵ Then the high priest ^(L)tore his robes and said, ^(M)“He has uttered blasphemy.

And some slapped him, ⁶⁸ saying, “Prophesy to us, you ^(R)Christ! Who is it that struck you?”
