55 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find it.* 56 For many gave false testimony against him, and theirn testimony was not consistent. 57 And some stood up and* began to give false testimonyo against him, saying, 58 “We heard him saying, ‘I will destroy this temple made by hands, and within three days I will build another not made by hands.” 59 And their testimony was not even consistent about this. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst of them and* asked Jesus, saying, “Do you not reply anything? What are these people testifying against you?” 61 But he was silent and did not reply anything. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Powerp and coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest tore his clothes and* said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? 64 You have heard the blasphemy! What ⌊do you think⌋?”q And they all condemned him ⌊as deserving death⌋.r
