Mark 14:55-65

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 ¹For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony ²did not agree.

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

58 ³"We heard him say, ⁴'I will destroy this temple ⁵that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, ⁶not made with hands.'"

59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree.

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"^[b]

61 But ⁷he remained silent and made no answer. ⁸Again the high priest asked him, "Are you ⁹the Christ, the Son of ¹⁰the Blessed?"

62 And Jesus said, "I am, and ¹¹you will see the Son of Man ¹²seated at the right hand of Power, and ¹³coming with the clouds of heaven."

63 And the high priest ¹⁴tore his garments and said, "What further witnesses do we need?

64 You have heard ¹⁵his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they ¹⁶all condemned him as ¹⁷deserving death.

65 ¹⁸And some began ¹⁹to spit on him and ²⁰to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him ²¹with blows.
