Jesus before Caiaphas — Matthew 26:57-68, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Matthew, Chapter 26, verses 57-68

⁵⁷ Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. ⁵⁸ But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the^pofficers to see the outcome.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the whole^qCouncil kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. ⁶⁰ 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^rtemple of God and to rebuild it^sin three days.’” ⁶² The high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?” ⁶³ But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I^tadjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are^uthe Christ, the Son of God.” ⁶⁴ Jesus *said to him, “You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you,^vhereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”

⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his^wrobes and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; ⁶⁶ what do you think?” They answered, “He deserves death!”

⁶⁷ Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others^xslapped Him, ⁶⁸ and said, “Prophesy to us, You^yChrist; who is the one who hit You?”
