Christian Standard Bible
59 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death,(A) 60 but they could not find any, even though many false witnesses(B) came forward.[a] Finally, two[b] who came forward 61 stated, “This man said, ‘I can destroy the temple of God(C) and rebuild it in three days.’”
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Don’t you have an answer to what these men are testifying against you?” 63 But(D) Jesus kept silent.(E) The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath(F) by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”(G)
64 “You have said it,” Jesus told him. “But I tell you, in the future[c] you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[d](H)
65 Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed!(I) Why do we still need witnesses? See, now you’ve heard the blasphemy.(J) 66 What is your decision?”
They answered, “He deserves death!” (K) 67 Then they spat in his face(L) and beat him; others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who was it that hit you?” (M)

Matthew 26:59-68
New Living Translation
59 Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council[a] were trying to find witnesses who would lie about Jesus, so they could put him to death. 60 But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward 61 who declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?” 63 But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I demand in the name of the living God—tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
64 Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand[b] and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[c]
65 Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy. 66 What is your verdict?”
“Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!”
67 Then they began to spit in Jesus’ face and beat him with their fists. And some slapped him, 68 jeering, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you that time?”
