Matthew 26:57-68
1599 Geneva Bible
57 ¶ (A)[a]And they took Jesus, and led him to [b]Caiaphas the high Priest, where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled.
58 And Peter followed him afar off unto the high Priest’s [c]hall, and went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now (B)the chief Priests and the Elders, and all the whole Council sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death.
60 But they found none, and though many false witnesses came, yet found they none: but at the last came two false witnesses,
61 And said, This man said, (C)I can destroy the Temple of God, and build it in three days.
62 Then the chief Priest arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing? [d]What is the matter that these men witness against thee?
63 But Jesus held his peace. Then the chief Priest answered, and said to him, I charge thee swear unto us by the living God, to tell us, If thou be that Christ the son of God, or no.
64 (D)Jesus said to him, Thou hast said it: nevertheless I say unto you, [e]Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man, sitting [f]at the right hand of the power of God, and come in the [g]clouds of the heaven.
65 Then the high Priest [h]rent his clothes, saying, He hath blasphemed, what have we any more need of witnesses: behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 What think ye? They answered, and said, He is guilty of death.
67 (E)Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him, and others smote him with rods,
68 Saying, Prophesy to us, O Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
