53
Or do you think that I can't ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"
55
In that hour Yeshua said to the multitudes, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me.
56
But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the talmidim left him, and fled.
57
Those who had taken Yeshua led him away to Kayafa, the Kohen Gadol, where the Sofrim and the Zakenim were gathered together.
58
But Kefa followed him from a distance, to the court of the Kohen Gadol, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59
Now the chief Kohanim, the Zakenim, and the whole council sought false testimony against Yeshua, that they might put him to death;
60
and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,
61
and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
62
The Kohen Gadol stood up, and answered him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"
63
But Yeshua held his shalom. The Kohen Gadol answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God."
