Luke 22:63-71

63The guards in charge of Jesus began mocking and beating him.

64They blindfolded him and said, “Prophesy to us! Who hit you that time?”

65And they hurled all sorts of terrible insults at him.

66At daybreak all the elders of the people assembled, including the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. Jesus was led before this high council,

67and they said, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?” But he replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me.

68And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer.

69But from now on the Son of Man will be seated in the place of power at God’s right hand.”

70They all shouted, “So, are you claiming to be the Son of God?” And he replied, “You say that I am.”

71“Why do we need other witnesses?” they said. “We ourselves heard him say it.”
