55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none.

56 For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree.

57 And some stood up and bore false witness 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.'"
