55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.
56 But all this was done that the aScriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then ball the disciples forsook Him and fled.
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?”
