Matthew 26:59-66

NSB(i) 66 »What is your opinion?« The crowd answered: »Put him to death!« 59 The chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus. They wanted to put him to death. 60 They failed, even though a number of false witnesses came. 61 Later two witnesses came. They said: »This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’« 62 The high priest stood up and said to him: »Have you no answer? What is it these say against you?« 63 Jesus said nothing. The high priest said to him: »I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.« 64 Jesus said to him: »You said it yourself. And I say to you, after this you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.« 65 Then the high priest ripped his robes apart and said: »He has said evil against God! Why do we need more witnesses? You have heard his words of blasphemy!«
