Mark 14:48-58

48 But Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though I were a criminal, [a] to capture Me?
49 Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn't arrest Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."
50 Then they all deserted Him and ran away.
51 Now a certain young man,[b] having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body, was following Him. They caught hold of him,
52 but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin

53 They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes convened.
54 Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the temple police,[c] warming himself by the fire.[d]
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they could find none.
56 For many were giving false testimony against Him, but the testimonies did not agree.
57 Some stood up and were giving false testimony against Him, stating,
58 "We heard Him say, 'I will demolish this sanctuary made by [human] hands, and in three days I will build another not made by hands.' "
