Mark 14:55-65 ▼

55 And the high priests and all the Sanhedrin were seeking for testimony against Jesus, in order to put Him to death; and they were not finding it.

56 For many were bearing false testimony against Him, and their testimonies were not agreed.

57 And certain ones, standing up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying,

58 "We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

59 And not even so did their testimony agree.

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, "Dost Thou answer nothing? What do these testify against Thee?"

61 But He was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, "Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

62 And Jesus said, "I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

63 And the high priest, rending his clothes, says, "What further need have we of witnesses?

64 Ye heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death.

65 And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy;" and the officers received Him with blows of their hands.
