I sate dayly with you, teachyng in the temple, and ye toke me not.	At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.	In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me.

What is it that these men testify against you?”	Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”

The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
