Matthew 26:57 Cross References - MNT

⁵⁷ Then all his disciples forsook him and fled; but those who had apprehended Jesus led him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the court of the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

⁵³ Then they took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests and elders and Scribes came with him. ⁵⁴ Peter also had followed Jesus at a distance, until he was inside the court of the high priest. There he was sitting among the officers, warming himself in the light of the fire. ⁵⁵ Meanwhile the high priests and all of the Sanhedrin were trying to get evidence against Jesus, so as to have him put to death, but they found none; ⁵⁶ for though many gave false witness against him, their testimony did not agree. ⁵⁷ Some came forward and swore falsely, saying, ⁵⁸ "We heard him say, 'I will tear down this temple made by hands, and in three days I will build another temple not made by hands.'" ⁵⁹ But even their evidence did not agree. ⁶⁰ Then the high priest rose and stood forth among them. "Have you no answer to make?" he asked Jesus; "What is it that these testify against you?" ⁶¹ But he remained silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest questioned him. "Are you the Christ," he said, "the Son of the Blessed?" ⁶² "I am," Jesus answered, "and you all shall see the Son of man seated on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." ⁶³ Then the high priest tore his vestments. "Why do we need any further witness?" he exclaimed. ⁶⁴ "Did you hear his blasphemy? What is your verdict?" ⁶⁵ Then they all condemn him to be worthy of death. Some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him while striking him and saying, "Prophesy." The officers, too, received him into custody with blows.

⁵⁴ So they seized him and led him away, and took him to the house of the high priest; while Peter was following him a long way off. ⁵⁵ And when they had lighted a fire in the center of the court, and had sat down together, Peter was taking his seat among them.

⁴⁹ But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,

¹² So the troops and their commandant and the Jewish police took Jesus, and bound him, ¹³ and led him to Annas first. (For Annas was the Father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year— ¹⁴ the Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their advantage that one man should die for the people.)

¹⁹ Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. ²⁰ Jesus answered him. "I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, places where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and in secret I have spoken nothing. ²¹ "Why do you question me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them; these witnesses here know what I said." ²² When he had spoken these words, one of the police standing by gave him a blow with his hand, saying as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?" ²³ Jesus replied "If I have said anything wrong, give evidence concerning the wrong; but if I said what was true, why do you strike me?" ²⁴ Then Annas sent him in chains to Caiaphas, the high priest.
