Matthew:26:57-68
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest ,
where the scribes and the elders were assembled .
*
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest '
s palace ,
and went in ,
and sat with the servants ,
to see the end .
*
Now the chief priests ,
and elders ,
and all the council ,
sought false witness against Jesus ,
to put him to death ;
*
But found none :
yes ,
though many false witnesses came ,
yet found they none .
At the last came two false witnesses ,
*
And said ,
This fellow said ,
I am able to destroy the temple of God ,
and to build it in three days .
*
And the high priest arose ,
and said unto him ,
Answer you nothing ?
what is it which these witness against you ?
*
But Jesus held his peace ,
And the high priest answered and said unto him ,
I adjure you by the living God ,
that you tell us whether you be the Christ ,
the Son of God .
*
Jesus says unto him ,
*
Then the high priest tore his clothes ,
saying ,
He has spoken blasphemy ;
what further need have we of witnesses ?
behold ,
now you have heard his blasphemy .
*
What think you ?
They answered and said ,
He is guilty of death .
*
Then did they spit in his face ,
and buffeted him ;
and others smote him with the palms of their hands ,
*
Saying ,
Prophesy unto us ,
you Christ ,
Who is he that smote you ?
