Mark 14:55–61

14:55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find anything. 14:56 Many gave false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree. 14:57 Some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:79 14:58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands and in three days build another not made with hands.’ ” 14:59 Yet even on this point their testimony did not agree. 14:60 Then80 the high priest stood up before them81 and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?” 14:61 But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him,82 “Are you the Christ,83 the Son of the Blessed One?”
