54
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
55
In that same hour Jesus said to the multitude, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56
But all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
57
And those that had laid hold on Jesus led
him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58
But Peter followed him afar off unto the patio of the high priest and went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59
Now the princes of the priests and the elders and all the council sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60
but found none; though many false witnesses came,
yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses
61
who said, This
fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.
62
And the high priest arose and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing
to what these witness against thee?
63
But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
64
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said
it; nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven.
