Matthew 26:59-66

Goodspeed(i) 59 Now the high priests and the whole council were trying to get false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death. 60 And they could not, although many false witnesses presented themselves. But finally two came forward 61 and said, "This man said, 'I can tear down the sanctuary of God, and build it up in three days.' " 62 And the high priest got up and said to him, "Have you no answer to make? What about their evidence against you?" 63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, "I charge you, on your oath, by the living God, tell us whether you are the Christ, the son of God." 64 Jesus said to him, "It is true. But I tell you you will soon see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming upon the clouds of the sky!" 65 Then the high priest tore his clothing and said, "He has uttered blasphemy! What do we want of witnesses now? Here you have heard his blasphemy! 66 What is your decision?" They answered, "He deserves death."
