54. Peter followed Him at a distance into the courtyard of the high priest. He sat with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.

55. Now the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin requested testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.

56. Many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.

57. Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,

58. “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.’ ”

59. But still their testimony did not agree.

60. Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Do You answer nothing? What is it which these men testify against You?”

61. But He kept silent and answered nothing.Again the high priest asked Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62. Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63. The high priest tore his robes, saying, “What need do we have of any further witnesses?

64. You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”They all condemned Him as guilty unto death.
