Mark 14:48-58

48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

49 ¹Day after day I was with you in the temple ²teaching, and you did not seize me. But ³let the Scriptures be fulfilled. ”

50 ⁴And they all left him and fled.

A Young Man Flees

51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but ⁵a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him,

52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

Jesus Before the Council

53 ⁶And ⁷they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.

54 ⁸And ⁹Peter had followed him at a distance, ¹⁰right into ¹¹the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with ¹²the guards and ¹³warming himself at the fire.

55 Now the chief priests and the whole council^[a] were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none.

56 ¹⁴For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony ¹⁵did not agree.

57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,

58 ¹⁶“We heard him say, ¹⁷‘I will destroy this temple ¹⁸that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, ¹⁹not made with hands. ’”
