Seeker Overlay ON
*
And they led Jesus away to the high priest ;
and with him were assembled all the chief priests ,
the elders ,
and the scribes .
*
But Peter followed Him from a distance ,
right into the courtyard of the high priest ,
and he was sitting together with the attendants and warming himself at the fire .
*
Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking testimony against Jesus ,
in order to put Him to death ,
but found none .
*
For many were testifying falsely against Him ,
but their testimonies were not the same .
*
Then some stood up and were testifying falsely against Him ,
saying ,
* "
We heard Him saying , '
I will destroy this temple made with hands ,
and after three days I will build another [
one ]
not made with hands .' "
*
But not even in this way was their testimony the same .
*
And the high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus ,
saying , "
Do You answer nothing ?
What are these men testifying against You ?"
*
But He kept silent and answered nothing .
Again the high priest was questioning Him ,
saying to Him , "
Are You the Christ ,
the Son of the Blessed ?"
*
And Jesus said , "
I am .
And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power ,
and coming with the clouds of heaven ."
*
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said , "
What further need do we have of witnesses ?
*
You have heard the blasphemy !
How does it appear to you ?"
And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death .
*
Then some began to spit on Him ,
and to blindfold Him ,
and to beat Him with [
their ]
fists ,
and to say to Him , "
Prophesy !"
And the attendants were striking Him with slaps [
to the face .]
