Matthew 26:59-66

Moffatt(i) 59 Now the high priests and the whole of the Sanhedrin tried to secure false evidence against Jesus, in order to have him put to death; 60 but they could find none, although a number of false witnesses came forward. However, two men came forward at last 61 and said, "This fellow declared, 'I can destroy the temple of God and build it in three days.'" 62 So the high priest rose and said to him, "Have you no reply to make? What of this evidence against you?" 63 Jesus said nothing. Then the high priest addressed him, "I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!" 64 Jesus said to him, "Even so! But I tell you, in future you will all see the Son of man seated at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." 65 Then the high priest tore his dress and cried, "He has blasphemed! What more evidence do we want? Look, you have heard his blasphemy for yourselves! 66 What is your view?" They replied, "He is doomed to death."
