Matthew 26:57-68

571ThoseG3588 who had seizedG2902 JesusG2424 ledG520 Him awayG520 to 2CaiaphasG2533, the highG749 priestG749, whereG3699 the scribesG1122 and the eldersG4245 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 58But 3PeterG4074 was followingG190 Him at a distanceG3113 as farG2193 as the 4courtyardG833 of the highG749 priestG749, and enteredG1525 in, and satG2521 downG2521 with the 56officersG5257 to seeG3708 the outcomeG5056.

59NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the wholeG3650 78CouncilG4892 kept tryingG2212 to obtainG2212 falseG5577 testimonyG5577 againstG2596 JesusG2424, soG3704 that they might putG2289 Him to deathG2289. 60They did not findG2147 any, even though manyG4183 falseG5577 witnessesG5577 cameG4334 forwardG4334. But laterG5305 on 9twoG1417 cameG4334 forwardG4334, 61and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 statedG5346, ‘10I amG1410 ableG1410 to destroyG2647 the 11templeG3485 of GodG2316 and to rebuildG3618 it 12in threeG5140 daysG2250.’” 62The highG749 priestG749 stoodG450 up and saidG3004 to Him, “Do You not answerG611? WhatG5101 is it that theseG3778 menG3778 are testifyingG2649 againstG2649 You?” 63But 13JesusG2424 keptG4623 silentG4623. 14And the highG749 priestG749 saidG3004 to Him, “I 1516adjureG1844 You by 17the livingG2198 GodG2316, that You tellG3004 us whetherG1487 You are 18the ChristG5547, 19the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 64JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “20You have saidG3004 it yourself; neverthelessG4133 I tellG3004 you, 21hereafterG575G737 you will seeG3708 22the SonG5207 of ManG444 sittingG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of PowerG1411, and 23comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.”

65ThenG5119 the highG749 priestG749 24toreG1284 his 25robesG2440 and saidG3004, “He has blasphemedG987! WhatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 do we haveG2192 of witnessesG3144? BeholdG2396, you have nowG3568 heardG191 the blasphemyG988; 66whatG5101 do you thinkG1380?” They answeredG611, “26He deservesG1777 deathG2288!”

6727ThenG5119 they 28spatG1716 in His faceG4383 and beatG2852 Him with their fistsG2852; and othersG3588 29slappedG4474 Him, 68and saidG3004, “30ProphesyG4395 to us, You 31ChristG5547; whoG5101 is the one who hitG3817 You?”
