Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
53 aAnd they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were bassembled all the cchief priests, the elders, and the scribes.
54 But aPeter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.
55 aNow the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.
56 For many bore afalse witness against Him, but their testimonies1 did not agree.
57 Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,
58 “We heard Him say, a‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.’ ”
59 But not even then did their testimony agree.
60 aAnd the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?”
61 But aHe kept silent and answered nothing. bAgain the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
