Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(A)

66 (B)As soon as it was day, (C)the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 67 (D)“If You are the Christ, tell us.”

But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will (E)by no means believe. 68 And if I [a]also ask you, you will by no means answer [b]Me or let Me go. 69 (F)Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”

So He said to them, (G)“You rightly say that I am.”

71 (H)And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”

Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate(I)

23 Then (J)the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to (K)Pilate. And they began to (L)accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow (M)perverting [c]the nation, and (N)forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying (O)that He Himself is Christ, a King.”

(P)Then Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

He answered him and said, It is as you say.”

So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, (Q)“I find no fault in this Man.”

But they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from (R)Galilee to this place.”

Jesus Before Pilate and Herod(A)(B)(C)

66 At daybreak the council(D) of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together,(E) and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”

Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.(F) 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”(G)

70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”(H)

He replied, “You say that I am.”(I)

71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”

23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.(J) And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.(K) He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar(L) and claims to be Messiah, a king.”(M)

So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”(N)

But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(O) and has come all the way here.”
