Mark 14:55-65 ▼

55 And the chief priests and all the Council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they were not finding it.

56 For many were bearing false testimony against Him, but their testimonies were not alike.

57 And some, having risen up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying,

58 “We heard Him saying, ‘I will demolish this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’”

59 And not even in this matter was their testimony alike.

60 And the high priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not answer? What do these testify against You?”

61 But He was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him and says 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 Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63 And the high priest, having torn his garments, says, “What more need do we have of witnesses?

64 You? heard the blasphemy. What does it appear to you??” And all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

65 And some began to spit upon Him and to cover up His face and to strike Him and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps.
