Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, in whose house the scribes and the elders had gathered. But Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and going inside, he sat with the guards in order to see how this would end. Now the chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward and said, \u2018This fellow said, \u201cI am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.\u201d \u2019 The high priest stood up and said, \u2018Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?\u2019 But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, \u2018I put you under oath before the living God, tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.\u2019 Jesus said to him, \u2018You have said so. But I tell you,
\nFrom now on you will see the Son of Man
\n seated at the right hand of Power
\n and coming on the clouds of heaven.\u2019
\nThen the high priest tore his clothes and said, \u2018He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?\u2019 They answered, \u2018He deserves death.\u2019 Then they spat in his face and struck him; and some slapped him, saying, \u2018Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who is it that struck you?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
