Matthew 26:59

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin

57 ^aAnd those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

58 But ^aPeter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

59 Now the chief priests,¹ the elders, and all the council sought ^afalse testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,

60 ¹but found none. Even though ^amany false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last ^btwo false witnesses came forward

61 and said, “This fellow said, ^a‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”

62 ^aAnd the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?”
