And they brought Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together. 54And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself. 55And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and found none. 56For many bore false witness against him: and their evidences were not agreeing. 57And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying: 58We heard him say, I Will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands. 59And their witness did not agree. 60And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men? 61But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God? 62And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming with the clouds of heaven. 63Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to buffet him and to say unto him: Prophesy. And the servants struck him with the palms their hands.
