Matthew 26:59-66 Now the chief priests, the senators and the whole council, endeavour'd to get false evidence against Jesus, that he might be condemn'd to die.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, the senators and the whole council, endeavour'd to get false evidence against Jesus, that he might be condemn'd to die. ⁶⁰ but they found none: and though many false witnesses came, it was not found sufficient. at last there came two false witnesses, who charg'd him with saying, ⁶¹ "I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days." ⁶² and the high priest arose, and said to him, have you nothing in answer to that charge they bring against you? ⁶³ but Jesus made no reply. and the high priest said to him, I conjure thee by the living God, to tell us, are you the Christ the son of God? ⁶⁴ Jesus reply'd, I am: moreover I declare to you, within a while ye shall see the son of man sitting on the right hand of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven. ⁶⁵ then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, he has spoke blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? you yourselves have now heard his blasphemy. ⁶⁶ what is your opinion? they reply'd, he deserves to die.
