55Now 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.* 56For many gave false testimony against him, and theirn testimony was not consistent. 57And 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.” 59And their testimony was not even consistent about this. 60And 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?” 61But 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?” 62And 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.” 63And the high priest tore his clothes and* said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?”q And they all condemned him as deserving death.r 65And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him “Prophesy!” And the officers received him with slaps in the face.s
