55 And the chief priests and all the assembly sought for testimony against Jesus, to put him to death: but they found it not.
56 For while many testified against him, their testimonies were inadequate.
57 And some false witnesses stood up against him, and said:
58 We have heard him say: I will destroy this temple, which is made with hands; and in three days I will build another not made with hands.
59 Nor even thus were their testimonies adequate.
60 And the high priest arose in the midst, and interrogated Jesus and said: Returnest thou no answer? What do these testify against thee?
61 And Jesus was silent, and made no reply. And again the chief priest interrogated him, and said: Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said to him: I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and he will come on the clouds of heaven.
63 And the high priest rent his tunic, and said: What need of witnesses have we, any more?
64 Behold, from his own mouth ye have heard blasphemy. How doth it appear to you? And they all decided, that he deserved to die.
65 And some began to spit in his face, and to buffet him, saying: Prophesy thou. And the servants smote him on the cheeks.
