Matthew 26:56-63 World English Bible (WEB)

56. But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

57. Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

58. But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

59. Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, 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 high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

63. But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
