Matthew 26:57-68

57Now those who had seized Yeshua led Him away to Caiaphas, the kohen gadol , where the Torah scholars and elders had gathered.

58Peter was following Him from a distance as far as the courtyard of the kohen gadol . And after going inside, he was sitting with the guards, to see the outcome.

59Now the ruling kohanim and all the Sanhedrin kept trying to get false testimony against Yeshua so they could put Him to death.

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

61and said, “This fellow said, ‘I’m able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days!’”

62The kohen gadol stood up and said to Yeshua, “Have You no answer? What’s this they’re testifying against You?”

63But Yeshua kept silent. The kohen gadol said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God, tell us if You are Mashiach Ben-Elohim!”

64“As you have said,” replied Yeshua. “Besides that, I tell you, soon after you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65Then the kohen gadol tore his clothes and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, you’ve heard the blasphemy.

66What’s your verdict?” “Guilty,” they answered. “He deserves death!”

67Then they spat in His face and pounded Him with their fists. Others slapped Him and demanded,

68“Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Which one hit You?”
