55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against
Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any.
56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:
58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple and in three
days will build another, not made by man.’”
59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree. 60 Then the high priest stood up
before them and asked Jesus,
Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are
bringing against you?”
61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked
him,
“Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand
of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he
asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” They all
condemned him as worthy of death.
65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their
fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.
All we like sheep have gone astray, and the Lord has laid on Him the
iniquity of us all. By His wounds, we are healed.
