Luke 22:66-71

Jesus Before the Council

66 ¹When day came, ²the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their ³council, and they ⁴said,

67 ⁵"If you are ⁶the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe,

68 and if I ask you, you will not answer.

69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated ⁷at the right hand of the power of God."

70 So they all said, "Are you ⁸the Son of God, then?" And he said to them, ⁹"You say that I am."

71 Then they said, "What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips."
