Mark 14:53-65

53And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.

54But Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.

55Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.

56For many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.

57Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,

58“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.’ ”

59But not even then did their testimony agree.

60And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?”

61But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

62Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?

64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

65Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.
