lont@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him at a distance, to the court of the high priest's house, and having gone in, sat with the officers to see the issue.

lont@Matthew:26:60 @ But though many false witnesses appeared, they found it not. At length two false witnesses came,
lont@Matthew:26:61 @ who charged him with saying, I can demolish the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.
lont@Matthew:26:62 @ Then the high priest rising, said to him, Do you answer nothing to what these men testify against you?

lont@Matthew:26:66 @ What think you? They answered, He deserves to die.
lont@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spit in his face. Some gave him blows on the head, and others struck him on the cheeks,
lont@Matthew:26:68 @ and said, Divine to us, Messiah, who it was the smote you.
