Context of Mark 14:57

55The leaders of the priests and all the Jewish leaders wanted to punish Jesus with death. So they tried to find some people who would say things against Jesus. But they did not find anyone who could help them. 56Many people said things against Jesus that were not true. But they did not agree with each other in what they said. Then some men stood up and they said something false against Jesus. 58They said, ‘We heard Jesus say, “I will destroy the temple, which men have built. In three days I will build another House for God. It will not be people who build this new house.” ’ 59Even then, these people who were speaking against Jesus did not say the same thing.
