| 57 | JESUS WAS LED OFF under arrest to the house of Caiaphas the High Priest, where the lawyers and elders were assembled. | Jesus before the Council Mt.26.57-68 (Jerusalem) | Mk.14.53-65 | Lk.22.54-55 | Jn.18.13-14 | Jn.18.19-24 | Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὁπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν. |
| 58 | Peter followed him at a distance till he came to the High Priest's courtyard, and going in he sat down there among the attendants, meaning to see the end of it all. | ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἐσω ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος. | |
| 59 | The chief priests and the whole Council tried to find some allegation against Jesus on which a death-sentence could be based; | οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τὸ συνέδριον ὁλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὁπως αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν, | |
| 60 | but they failed to find one, though many came forward with false evidence. Finally two men | καὶ οὐχ εὗρον πολλῶν προσελθόντων ψευδομαρτύρων. ὑστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο | |
| 61 | alleged that he had said, 'I can pull down the temple of God, and rebuild it in three days.' | εἶπαν, Οὗτος ἐφη, Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν οἰκοδομῆσαι. | |
| 62 | At this the High Priest rose and said to him, ' | καὶ ἀναστὰς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ; τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν; | |
| 63 | But Jesus kept silence. The High Priest then said, 'By the living God I charge you to tell us: Are you the Messiah, the Son of God ?' | ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα. καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος ἵνα ἡμῖν εἰπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ. | |
| 64 | Jesus replied, "The words are yours. But I tell you this: from now on, you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of God and coming on the clouds of heaven.' | - hereafter you will see the Son of man Mt.26.64 | Ps.110.1 | Dn.7.13 | λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Σὺ εἶπας· πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπ' ἀρτι ὀψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου |
| 65 | At these words the High Priest tore his robes and exclaimed, 'Blasphemy! Need we call further witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. | τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ λέγων, Ἐβλασφήμησεν· τί ἐτι χρείαν ἐχομεν μαρΤύρων; ἰδε νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν· | |
| 66 | What is your opinion?' 'He is guilty,' they answered; 'he should die.' | τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπαν, Ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν. | |
| 67 | Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists; | Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ἐράπισαν | |
| 68 | and others said, as they struck him, 'Now, Messiah, if you are a prophet, tell us who hit you.' | λέγοντες, Προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, Χριστέ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σὲ; | |
