Matthew 26:63-68

64Jesus said to him, “You have [in fact] said it; but more than that I tell you [regardless of what you do with Me now], in the future you will see [Me revealed as] the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Then the high priest tore his robes [in mock horror] and exclaimed, “He has blasphemed [by making Himself God’s equal]! What further need have we of witnesses or evidence? See, you have now heard the blasphemy.

66What do you think?” They answered, “He deserves to be put to death.”

67Then they spat in His face and struck Him with their fists; and some slapped Him,

68saying, “Prophesy to us, You Christ (Messiah, Anointed); who was it that struck You?”
