Mark 14:55-65 ▼

55 Then the chief priests, and the whole sanhedrim, sought for witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; yet found none.

56 For many bore false witness against him, and their attestations did not correspond.

57 And certain persons rising up, bore false witness against him, saying,

58 We have heard him affirm, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and after three days I will build another not made with hands.

59 But even then their testimony was not correspondent.

60 So the high-priest rising up in the midst interrogated Jesus, Answerest thou nothing? What is it that these witness against thee?

61 But he kept silence, and made them not a word of reply. Again the high-priest questioned him, and said to him, Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the blessed?

62 Then said Jesus, I am. And ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

63 Then the high-priest rent his clothes, and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?

64 Ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? And they all adjudged him to be deserving of death.

65 And some began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants slapped him on the face with their hands.
