Luke 22:63-71

63Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking and ridiculing Him [and treating Him with contempt] and beating Him.

64They blindfolded Him and asked, “Prophesy, who is it that struck You?”

65And they were saying many other [evil and slanderous] things against Him, blaspheming [speaking sacrilegiously and abusively about] Him.

66When day came, the Council of the elders of the people (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) assembled, both chief priests and scribes; and they led Jesus away to the council chamber, saying,

67“If You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe [what I say],

68and if I ask a question, you will not answer.

69But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70And they all said, “Are You the Son of God, then?” He replied, “It is just as you say.”

71Then they asked, “What further need of testimony do we have? For we ourselves have heard it from His own mouth.”
