59
And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.
60

and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.
62

63

64
Jesus says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

66
What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.
