Matthew 26:59-66

Living_Oracles(i) 59 Meantime the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole Sanhedrin, sought out false evidence against Jesus, upon which they might condemn him to die. 60 But though many false witnesses appeared, they found it not. At length two false witnesses came, 61 who charged him with saying, I can demolish the temple of God and rebuild it in three days. 62 Then the high priest rising, said to him, Do you answer nothing to what these men testify against you? 63 Jesus remaining silent, he added, On the part of the living God, I adjure you to tell us, whether you be the Messiah, the Son of God? 64 Jesus answered him, It is as you say: nay, be assured, that hereafter you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest, rending his clothes, said, He has uttered blasphemy. What further need have we of witnesses, now that you have heard him blaspheme? 66 What think you? They answered, He deserves to die.
