52
but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53
They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
54
Peter had followed him afar off, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56
For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn't agree with each other.

Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
58
"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"
59

The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
61
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
