Readings for Lent and Easter
63 (A)The men who held Jesus in custody were ridiculing and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and questioned him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” 65 And they reviled him in saying many other things against him.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin.[a] 66 (B)When day came the council of elders of the people met, both chief priests and scribes,(C) and they brought him before their Sanhedrin.[b] 67 They said, “If you are the Messiah, tell us,” but he replied to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,(D) 68 and if I question, you will not respond. 69 But from this time on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”(E) 70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?” He replied to them, “You say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “What further need have we for testimony? We have heard it from his own mouth.”
