Mark 14:55-65 ▼

55 And the hye priestes, and all the councell sought for witnesse agaynst Iesus, to put hym to death, and founde none.

56 For many bare false witnesse agaynst hym, but their witnesse agreed not together.

57 And there arose certayne, and brought false witnesse agaynst hym, saying.

58 We hearde hym say: I wyll destroy this temple that is made with handes, and within three dayes I wyll buylde another, made without handes.

59 But yet their witnesse agreed not together.

60 And the hye priest stoode vp amongest them, and asked Iesus, saying: Aunswerest thou nothyng? Howe is it that these beare witnesse agaynst thee?

61 But he helde his peace, & aunswered nothyng. Agayne, the hyest priest asked hym, and sayde vnto hym: Art thou Christe, the sonne of the blessed?

62 And Iesus sayde, I am: And ye shall see the sonne of man sittyng on the ryght hande of power, and commyng in the cloudes of heauen.

63 Then the hye priest rent his clothes, and sayde: What neede we any further witnesses?

64 Ye haue hearde blasphemie: what thinke ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.

65 And some began to spyt at hym, and to couer his face, and to beate hym with fistes, and to say vnto hym, prophecie. And the seruauntes dyd beate hym with roddes.
