Jesus Before the Council

Mark 14

⁵³ _k And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were _l assembled all the _m chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. ⁵⁴ But _n Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire. ⁵⁵ _o Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. ⁵⁶ For many bore _p false witness against Him, but their testimonies ₁ did not agree. ⁵⁷ Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, ⁵⁸ "We heard Him say, _q 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.' " ⁵⁹ But not even then did their testimony agree. ⁶⁰ _r And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?" ⁶¹ But _s He kept silent and answered nothing. _t Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" ⁶² Jesus said, "I am. _u And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." ⁶³ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses? ⁶⁴ "You have heard the _v blasphemy! What do you think?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of _w death. ⁶⁵ Then some began to _x spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!" And the officers ₂ struck Him with the palms of their hands.
