And the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote
him.
64
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65
And they spoke many other things blasphemously against him.
66
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the princes of the priests and the scribes came together and led him into their council, saying,
67
Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe;
68
and if I also ask
you, ye will not answer me nor let
me go;
69
but from now on the Son of man shall sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70
Then they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I AM.
71
And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
