Matthew 26:57-62

57Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.

58And Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end.

59Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

60but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

61and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.'"

62And the high priest stood up and said, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"
