Matthew 26:63-68

63But Jesus did not say anything. So Caiaphas said to him, ‘I use the authority of the God who lives. You must promise to tell us what is true. Are you the Messiah? Are you the Son of God?’

64‘You have said it,’ Jesus replied. ‘And I tell all of you, soon you will see the Son of Man. He will be sitting in the most important place at the right side of the Most Powerful God. You will also see him coming to earth. He will be riding on the clouds in the sky.’

65Then Caiaphas tore his clothes to show that he was angry. He said, ‘Jesus has spoken bad words against God. We do not need anyone else to speak against him. You have heard him speak bad words against God.

66Do you think that he is guilty?’ They replied, ‘He is guilty and he deserves to die.’

67Then some of them spat into Jesus' face. They also hit him with their fists.

68When they hit him, they said, ‘Messiah! Show us that you are a prophet. Tell us who hit you!’
