Matthew 26:59-61

59 Now the chief priests and the whole ¹Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

60 They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on ²two came forward,

61 and said, "This man stated, '³I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.' "
