Mark:14:53-65
rsv@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.
rsv@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.
rsv@Mark:14:55 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none.
rsv@Mark:14:56 @ For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree.
rsv@Mark:14:57 @ And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,
rsv@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, `I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"
rsv@Mark:14:59 @ Yet not even so did their testimony agree.
rsv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"
rsv@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
rsv@Mark:14:62 @ And Jesus said, "I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."
rsv@Mark:14:63 @ And the high priest tore his garments, and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?
rsv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.
rsv@Mark:14:65 @ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him with blows.
