Mark 14:57 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 14:57

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?”
