Matthew 26:63-68

63But Jesus was silent. Then the chief priest said to him, “Swear an oath in front of the living God and tell us, are you the Messiah, the Son of God?”

64Jesus answered him, “Yes, I am. But I alone can guarantee that from now on you will see the Son of Man in the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne  . He will be coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Then the chief priest tore his robes in horror and said, “He has dishonored God! Why do we need any more witnesses? You’ve just heard him dishonor God!

66What’s your verdict?” They answered, “He deserves the death penalty!”

67Then they spit in his face, hit him with their fists, and some of them slapped him.

68They said, “You Christ, if you’re a prophet, tell us who hit you.”
