Mark 14:57 In-Context

55 The leading priests and the whole Jewish council tried to find something that Jesus had done wrong so they could kill him. But the council could find no proof of anything.

56 Many people came and told false things about him, but all said different things -- none of them agreed.

57 Then some people stood up and lied about Jesus, saying,

59 But even the things these people said did not agree.
