katapi HOME Mark 14:55-6414 55 The chief priests and the whole Council tried to find some evidence against Jesus to warrant a death-sentence, but failed to find any. 14 56 Many gave false evidence against him, but their statements did not tally. 14 57 Some stood up and gave this false evidence against him: 14 58 'We heard him say, "I will throw down this temple, made with human hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands." ' 14 59 But even on this point their evidence did not agree.
14 60 Then the High Priest stood up in his place and questioned Jesus: 'Have you no answer to the charges that these witnesses bring against you?' 14 61 But he kept silence; he made no reply.

Again the High Priest questioned him: 'Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?' 14 62 [ Ps.110.1, Dn.7.13. ] Jesus said, 'I am; and you will see the Son of Man seated on the right hand of God and coming with the clouds of heaven.' 14 63 Then the High Priest tore his robes and said, 'Need we call further witnesses? 14 64 You have heard the blasphemy. What is your opinion?' Their judgement was unanimous: that he was guilty and should be put to death.
