Matthew 26:59-68

59NowG1161 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 theG3588 wholeG3650 SanhedrinG48921 were seekingG2212 false testimonyG5577 againstG2596 JesusG2424 in order toG3704 put Him to deathG2289G846. 60ButG2532 they did not find anyG3756G2147, though manyG4183 false witnessesG5575 came forwardG4334.

FinallyG1161G5305 twoG1417 came forwardG4334 61and declaredG2036, “ThisG3778 man saidG5346, ‘I am ableG1410 to destroyG2647 theG3588 templeG3485 of GodG2316 andG2532 rebuild itG3618 inG1223 threeG5140 daysG2250.’”

62SoG2532 theG3588 high priestG749 stood upG450 and askedG2036 HimG846, “Have You no answerG611G3762? WhatG5101 are theseG3778 men testifying againstG2649 YouG4771?”

63ButG1161 JesusG2424 remained silentG4623.

ThenG2532 theG3588 high priestG749 saidG2036 to HimG846, “I charge You under oathG1844G4771 byG2596 theG3588 livingG2198 GodG2316: TellG2036 usG1473 ifG1487 YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547, theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

64“YouG4771 have said it yourselfG2036,” JesusG2424 answeredG3004G846. “ButG4133 I sayG3004 to all of youG4771, fromG575 now onG737 you will seeG3708 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 sittingG2521 atG1537 the right handG1188 of PowerG14112 andG2532 comingG2064 onG1909 theG3588 cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.”3

65At thisG5119, theG3588 high priestG749 toreG1284 hisG846 clothesG2440 and declaredG3004, “He has blasphemedG987! WhyG5101 do weG2192 needG5532 any moreG2089 witnessesG3144? LookG2400, nowG3568 you have heardG191 theG3588 blasphemyG988. 66WhatG5101 do youG4771 thinkG1380?”

“He deservesG1510G1777 to dieG2288,” they answeredG611G2036.

67ThenG5119 they spitG1716 inG1519 HisG846 faceG4383 andG2532 struckG2852 HimG846. OthersG3588 slappedG4474 Him 68and saidG3004, “ProphesyG4395 to usG1473, ChristG5547! WhoG5101G1510G3588 hitG3817 YouG4771?”
