Matthew 26:59-63 ▼

59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

60 And they did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,

61 and said, “This man stated, ‘I am able to destroy the sanctuary of God and to rebuild it in three days.’”

62 And the high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
