A certain young man was following him, wearing nothing but a linen cloth. They caught hold of him,

53
They took Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes were assembled.
54
Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, warming himself at the fire.

For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree.
57
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, not made with hands.' "
